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.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 2 Recap

On the last episode I only did a partial recap, because I thought Discovery replayed the episodes on their website. I have since discovered they don't. So for my mates in Australia and those of you who missed or can't get the show I will do full recaps.

To start off with let me say how excited I am last weeks episode of Deadliest Catch had ten million viewers. I think the boycotting of ABC of helped. I saw comments people were watching Deadliest Catch instead of Dancing With The Stars, and since Dancing With The Stars rating were down by 13%, I say welcome all my soap fans and thank you for supporting the soaps. You've found a great show!

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?

Jake Harris and Jake Anderson Appear On Dr. Drew About Their Addiction - Deadliest Catch

Also Some More Information On Jake Anderson's Missing Father.

Dr Drew opened the show talking about how they have the most deadliest jobs in the world, but it's addiction that threatens their lives.

Dr. Drew introduces the two Jake's. Jake Harris has an addiction with opiates and oxycontin. Jake Anderson has an addiction to alcohol.

Dr. Drew talks about how they both lost their father.

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.

Deadliest Catch 2011 Matt Bradley Drug Rehab Rumors Northwestern

I have still been trying to confirm or deny the rumors that Matt Bradley is missing from the Northwestern at the beginning of Season 7 because he is in rehab.

I have found two forums with statements that Matt Bradley was in rehab. One stated no source the other stated that it was on his facebook page and that his wife had posted it on the Northwestern's website. I went through Matt's facebook page and did not see anything of the kind. I also went through all of Angela's forum post's and the only thing I found was her discussing Matt's recovery in 2006. Nothing current about Matt being in rehab. While it is possibly true that he is in rehab, it still appears to be just a rumor, which is really a crappy rumor if Matt is indeed clean. In Season 6 when Jake Anderson received his cupcake for being sober six months, Edgar said Matt Bradley had been sober 18 months. I really and truly hope he has stayed sober.

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.

Grey's Anatomy Tonight

What? A rerun again. They are killing me! I want to know what happened to Callie, Arizona and Mark's baby. It looked like in the preview Callie is going to be okay, I hope that's true.

What the heck is going on? Why are we only getting a new episode every third week?

I need to know stuff, like what is going on with all the newly paired up couples. Alex Karev and Lucy Fields, Teddy Altman and Henry, Lexie Grey and Jackson Avery. And what is April Kepner going to do about Dr. Stark.

Did you all notice in the song between Eli and Bailey, Eli was singing about diamonds and getting down on one knee. Is he going to propose?

Arizona kept saying I asked her to marry me and a truck came out of now where. Callie woke up and said yes but I still think Arizona will back out because she thinks the accident is some kind of bad juju. Oh, I seen a spoiler I know the answer to that. Darn, sometimes I hate spoilers. I want to know what happens, but I like to find out during the show.

Who will the new Chief resident be?

Will Meredith get pregnant?

I'm watching the musical again, I need a fix to get me through. Sara Ramirezs' voice is incredible, she blows me away. She gives me goose bumps and makes me cry. Wow!

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 1

Yea!!!! It's finally here. 

If your not caught up with some of the stuff that happened in the off season look to the right for the Deadliest Catch link for previous posts.

The show starts off with a memorial to Captain Phil Harris. I really wanted to see them trying to get the stuck urn open. They laughed so hard about it at CatchCon, I really thought we'd get to see it.  That man is certainly missed by a lot of people.

The King Crab season begins! Wow has Jake Anderson been promoted? He's in the wheelhouse with Captain Sig Hansen deciding where to go crabbing. Go Jake!

All the Captains are mapping out their routes. I'm ready for the biting off the head of the herring.

Deadliest Catch CatchCon 2011 Seattle, WA - Fan Festival Report

Two of the main reporters were Tary Southern and Matt McManus.

There were games, relay races, a beer garden and loads of fans from all over. There were fans from New Zealand, South Carolina and Arizona all over the place.

No I didn’t get to go to the Fan Festival, but I sure wished I could have. I did have some issues with my internet connection and Discovery was having some streaming issues, so I didn’t catch everything, but I still managed to gather a lot of exciting information. There are a couple baby spoilers but nothing really big, so it’s safe to read. This article is pretty long but there were tons of things going on. It was an all day event after all.

Oh, the things I learned.
