Today's Soaps

I just want to say the Young & the Restless if freaking me out with this aging of half the children and not aging the others. It's very weird. I want to see my sexy guys. Not these little kids. We need more Cane and they need to bring back Chance and Ronan.

You would think with the canceling of All My Children and One Life to Live they would have kept the best writers on General Hospital. I can't believe the best they could come up with the new babies being born was yet another baby swap and DNA test swap. I mean seriously guys. I don't want another show to get canceled. You could have done better.

Who Killed Diane Jenkins on The Young And The Restless?

For those of you whose soap was interrupted by the President yesterday as mine was. Here is a short recap so you have an idea how long the list of suspects is.

Adam has muddy shoes.
Tucker had a leaf in his hair.
Ashley has water in her watch.
Abby was drunk and in a blackout so she has no idea what happened.

Who Is Going To Kill Diane On The Young and The Restless?

Oh my! This chick is angering everyone in town. You just know she is going to end up dead.

Question is who will kill her?

More Stars - Actors Returning To All My Children

Okay maybe I'm late to the party but I've just seen that Leven Ramblin will be returning to All My Children as Lilly, and Carol Burnett will return as Verla Grubbs. If you don't remember her and you've watched for years, think back to the days of Langley and Phoebe. Verla was Langley Wallingford's daughter.

Daytime Emmy Nominations And Awards 2011

Well with everything going on in the soap world this should be interesting.

This is the 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. All My Children and One Life to Live have been on TV longer than the awards. Just something I noticed. The event is at the Las Vegas Hilton. The host is Wayne Brady. I don't know who he is. I've never seen him before. He seems to have a connection with his mother. Maybe I'll Google him later, but so far I'm not impressed.  I may not waste my time.

All My Children Stars Return To The Show

Oh my gosh! It's so exciting.

This was just released. You know I don't like spoilers, but this was just too good to hold in, and it's more cast returns than it is spoiler. I left out how they return. hehe  So if you don't want to know who is returning, don't read on. My guess is like me, you'll look.

The Young & The Restless A Teaser About The Cane Caleb Storyline

Well we've all been trying to figure out if it's Cane or Caleb alive. After Friday's show I'm still leaning towards Caleb. I would prefer the sweeter Cane of course, but as long as Daniel Goddard is still there. I'm good.

I found this video this afternoon and thought I would share it with you. It is a promo of scenes that are coming up for The Young & The Restless. OMG This looks like its going to be good.

ABC Has Done It Again! | Katie Couric's New Show

No, I don't mean they have come up with an awesome new show, or that they had a change of heart and decided to Save Our Soaps.

It feels like ABC just keeps sucker punching us dead square in the face and saying take this! Well I'll tell you what. I am so close to done I almost can't see out these black and blue eyes ABC keeps giving me.

Is It Cane Or Caleb? The Young And The Restless

OMG! It's Cane! It's Caleb! No it's Cane, No it's Caleb.

I'm so confused. Will we ever know for sure?

First Cane is shot on the steps. So we think Cane is dead and it's Caleb the evil twin alive.

Then we are lead to believe that Caleb died on the steps and Cane is alive.

The Young and The Restless Was So Good Today

OMG What a show today! and it isn't even Friday.

Someone please smack Phyllis Newman she is making me crazy with all this. Taking Lucy from Billy Abbott and Victoria Newman Abbott won't make up for what you did to Daniel Romalotti. Whatever that was I didn't watch when Phyllis had Daniel.

If they could get Daisy to sign her rights away, that would solve a lot of problems for Daniel, Victoria and Billy. But it's so risky, because Daisy is psycho.

Cane's Evil Twin - The Young And The Restless

I'm really having mixed emotions about Cane Ashby having an evil twin. On one hand it's great because that means Daniel Goddard still has a job. On the other hand the evil twins usually get killed off. I sure hope they find some way to rehabilitate this evil twin into a good guy once this storyline is over so Daniel Goddard can stay.

Roger Howarth Returning To One Life To Live Sooner Than Expected - Picketing - Boycotting

It was originally reported that Roger Howarth would start filming his return to One Life To Live in May.

Now it seems his first on air appearance will be on May 13th.

I can't wait to see if he will be "The Real Todd Manning" or someone else.

I still can't believe that ABC has canceled these shows. I am really hoping they are losing viewers across the board and that soap viewing is picking up. Yesterday people picketed Disney, ABC, and affiliates across the United States, ABC in New York called the police on the picketers. Way to win fans ABC!

Things I Find, See and Do On Twitter

I'm sitting here watching my Twitter timeline on Tweet Deck and smiling. Thinking about all the things I find on Twitter and the things that make me laugh. I thought I would share a few things I love about Twitter.

Instant News

Tweeting with @DanielGoddard OMG!

Meeting new friends all over the world.

Ted Shackelford Jeffery Bardwell The Young and The Restless Temporarily Replaced

Ted Shackelford is evidently on a temporary leave of absence from The Young & The Restless. He has been temporarily replaced by Kin Shriner, who most of us recognize as Scotty Baldwin from General Hospital. Reports indicate that Ted Shackelford will miss three episodes so hopefully he will return soon.

I've been a long time fan of Ted's since he was on Knot's Landing.

I don't know what has happened that Ted Shackelford is absent, but I can only imagine it isn't good. I just want to send my best wishes to Ted and his family. I hope he returns to the show soon, and all is well.

Grey's Anatomy April 21, 2011 A Rerun Again Bad ABC!

Are you kidding me?

Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice are both reruns again tomorrow according to my TV guide. SERIOUSLY!

That's the third week of reruns. Is ABC going broke? They can't produce the shows? Why did they start a new season and then start showing reruns. What the heck?

All My Children One Life To Live Soaps Canceled Hoover Pulls Advertising

Well good for Hoover. I support them and I hope other advertisers follow suit. I haven't seen how long Hoover was an advertiser, but I'm guessing it was at least as long as the soaps have been on. And how smart of Hoover was it to hop on Facebook and Twitter and start collecting email addresses of their female audience. Maybe ABC should hire some of the Hoover marketing executives.

I've spent a lot of time this morning reading through tweets of angry soap viewers, articles from soap sites and ABC trying to justify what it has done.

I still believe these soaps are making money. ABC just wants more money, they are just a bunch of greedy so and so's to put it politely. ABC knows it is going to lose the revenue from The Oprah Show and they are trying to make up for it anyway they can. In one article it was revealed ABC has been working on replacing these shows for over a year now. So this is not something that has just happened out of the blue because of ratings. It's just another ABC lie.

ABC Canceled All My Children and One Life To Live

Wow ABC just two weeks ago you announced All My Children would not be canceled, that there would be a writer change and all was well. Now this? Was this just a ploy to sell Susan Lucci's book? Or is the cancellation itself a ploy to sell the book. Guess what, I'm not buying the book. I'll wait until Susan Lucci writes a book that ABC isn't getting a percentage of. I feel lied too, violated. It's just wrong!

Today you announce both All My Children and One Life To Live have been canceled.

Genie Francis Joins Young & Restless - Y&R

Wow this is exciting news!

Genie Francis will join the cast of The Young & The Restless at the end of May as Cane Ashby's mother. I can't wait, not only does this make her Cane's (Daniel Goddard) mother but Colin Atkinson's (Tristan Rogers) wife. I can't wait to see the two of them together again.

Let me back up a bit for those of you who don't know. Genie Francis played Laura on General Hospital. I think most soap watchers if they didn't watch GH have at least heard of the infamous Luke & Laura. I didn't watch GH back then, but have seen many clips of the wedding and more recently the return of Laura to General Hospital. This is exciting news.

One Life To Live Roger Howarth To Return - OLTL

Soap Digest announced today that Roger Howarth will return to One Life To Live (OLTL).

Roger Howarth previous played the role of Todd Manning, before Trevor St. John.

I have only watched OLTL while Trevor St. John was playing Todd Manning so he is the only Todd I am familiar with.  I must say I have heard a lot about Roger Howarth recently and have watched clips of him as Todd. He is quite nice to look at. Roger is due to appear on the show in May.

All of this brings up more questions than answers for me.

AMC - All My Children Will Not Be Canceled

News was just released that All My Children will not be canceled.

Even more good news. A new head writer Lorraine Broderick has been named. Lorraine has worked in writing positions on soaps since 1979. She will be replacing David Kreizman and Donna Swjeski.

Well maybe the powers that be are listening. Many of us have voiced our opinions about needing better scripts for the soap stars and now we have it, at least on All My Children. Let's hope for the same result on OLTL.

For everyone who emailed and called Anne Sweeney to save the show, don't forget to thank her. A thank you can go a long way.
