Mandy was my favorite along with Chuck so if they're replacing her, I'm out. The only thing that would possibly bring me back in would be if they decided to have Eve and Brandon dating. I always thought they were gonna go there after "Vanessa Fixes Up Eve" and their conversation at the driving range. That kid she was dating at the end that was the recovering alcoholic was just terrible. Bland and so so boring.

While it does seem crazy to think Crawford would injure DW on purpose, I could see a scenario where CC, as the director, could've disregarded the advice of the FX folks and tried something anyway, and it resulted in injury. So in that sense, DW could feel as if it was purposeful, if CC was told something he wanted could be unsafe but he tried anyway because of his director's 'vision'. If he purposefully put his own ideas ahead of the safety of the folks on set, I might be pretty pissed too.

Granted, MH is human, however he is in a much better position to find alternate care for his own damn dog for one day. Where was his family? His, wife, Pam? Relatives? Kids? An assistant, for crying out loud. Why does the dog need to have someone around for 18-19 hours? Plenty of regular people leave their dogs at home when they go to work for the day, or ask someone to check on them, let them outside or whatever, if they're gonna be gone longer than 8-9 hours. If this story is true, while I side eye PP, I have to wonder why MH had no other alternative than bringing a dog, who had already bitten someone on set, back to scene of the crime.

I've just started watching this show with the repeats on TNT and since I'm late to the party, I've got to say, I'm glad her character is going. She annoys the ever living fuck out of me. This is not about the actual actress, I have no feelings about her one way or another. The only thing I can compare it to is, Sasha Alexander's character on the mothership - hated that character too and was thrilled when she was killed off, but I loved Sasha as Dr. Maura Isles on Rizzoli and Isles. I haven't seen Zoe in anything else (didn't watch JAG) and I'm sure she's a perfectly nice human. But I'm glad the character is kicking rocks at the end of S2.

I can't even begin to imagine Sheldon and Penny as a thing. They've had brother/sister vibes for me from episode one so thinking about them romantically is super squicky. I can't see Sheldon with any other type of woman than Amy. She is perfect for him and I think the show has done a pretty good job over the years of showing that. Have we had any real bonding moments between Amy and Raj? Is that the last unexplored relationship on the show?

Welp, looks like folks have come and gone again, so whatever bump Steve Monavie Burton gave to the show has now disappeared, heh... https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2018/01/ratings-report-week-december-11-15-2017 Total Viewers 1.

Speaking of The Change in the Game, I didn't realize all the little nuances I really liked about that episode. Wendell's 'I'm about to Brennan-ize you!' and Hodgins 'Baby! Ok ok! Baby! Where are my keys??!!' Brennan telling Booth that if Angela went into labor while they were undercover, they'd have to pick a fight so she could be there to 'catch the baby' was funny in context with her hand gestures, like she was gonna catch a baseball lol. Loved Max insisting at the bowling alley that they needed to act more like a couple, Booth's expression as Bones comes to him and he kisses her on the cheek, and Max's subsequent 'Uh huh', knowing look at Booth. I think Max did that on purpose, to see how they'd react and if he could tell things had changed in their relationship. Bones answering the phone, 'This is Wanda, at the BOWLING ALLEY', and 'You are a HORRIBLE CHILD!' Yes, yes, she was, Tempe lol.

I still really love this show. After all the comparisons between Bones and Castle, I am firmly on the 'Bones was better' train. I am so happy they didn't take a sledgehammer to any of the relationships and I can watch repeats with ease knowing the showrunners chose to mostly do right by fans, unlike that other show. I find that, because the faith wasn't broken, I am able to let missteps go more easily on Bones than I am with Castle. I still haven't watched any of those repeats since they went off the air, and honestly don't know if I ever will again. I see TNT has circled back to Season 6 after showing the final season - I'm glad they didn't start over from the beginning again. I haven't seen the last few seasons' episodes as much as the early season ones, so I'm looking forward to that. I wasn't a fan of Hannah's but now in retrospect, I understand a little better the reasoning behind bringing her on before getting B&B together. And I like most of the episodes after The BMX Biker in the Mold, when she's finally ousted. And today they're showing The Change in the Game and kicking off Season 7, so this fan is a happy camper right now.

Isn't the actress pregnant IRL? And further along than in the show? They could be just giving her a break and hiding her bigger belly until later. Loved Amy's reactions with Sheldon's tape. And Penny was fantastic the whole episode.

I will forever hate Uncle Frank, MB, and who the fuck ever else decided CarNAJ shouldn't be a thing. Fuckers. I loath Steve Burton. I absolutely HATE that TPTB kowtowed to his demands. Between the Monavie thing and now the acai drink or whatever, I think he's an arrogant, mediocre asshole and I am so very sick of those traits being rewarded. Not to mention that 'the mob' as portrayed on GH went the way of cassette tapes a long, LONG time ago. This is the longest I have ever not watched some kind of daytime soap since I was a kid. And I lay the blame directly at showrunners like FV and Mal Young over on YR. Fuck them and their sorry ass story telling. Sorry, dear posters. I woke up in a no fucks given mood this morning....

Wowzers. Me likey. :-)

So my local ABC affiliate has programmed another new show to follow GH at 3pm, which leads into their 4pm news hour. Daily Blast Live has folks that I've never heard of before (except Jeff from Big Brother), and is the 4th show they've tried in that time slot in as many years, so I'm wondering if this show tanks, will they look at moving GH to the 3pm hour, or are they thinking that the falling ratings for GH are partly to blame, and if they will complain about it. I know there are lots of folks who still enjoy the show but honestly, one of the only things that would bring me back at this point is if they cancel GH and I know there's an end date. I would probably tune in to see how everyone ends up. I must confess, my dream would be that Scummy's ending comes from a bullet to the forehead. At the hands of Monica, heh. Don't judge me. :-)

I'm so glad I'm still not watching this shit show. The ONLY thing (and I mean that most sincerely) that would bring me back would be if Burton is playing Not Dead AJ. I would like to see what he could do being an enemy to Scummy instead of the most bestest friend ever. Nelly should've been an LLD of AJ's, doing recon before he comes back to town. She should've been absolutely disgusted with Michael forgiving the man that 'killed' their father, and giving him Hell for it along with a stank eye. Otherwise, this Tale of Two Jasons is absolutely the stupidest, most inane and laziest story that Uncle Frank could possibly come up with.

Hey now, keep my government name out your mouth in relation to Scummy, hear? :-)

First - those recipe comments are GOLD! And B - 'A bear! You made a bear! Undo it, undo it!!'(TM) BtVS :-)

Joss's boyfriend's mom maybe? Not that I even care, haven't watched this shit show in months. But I still can't quit all you good posters and your grade A snark. {{hugs}}

The only way I see SBu coming back is if the network overruled Uncle Frank and insisted and promised him everything under the sun. There is no way FV would bring him back on his own volition. He loves RoHo too much, and I can believe SBu would not want Franco tryna be an actual character and taking focus away from St. Jasus. I still think this show is on life support so who knows if SBu coming back will stop the ratings freefall.

Welp, if this is true, Uncle Frank just succeeded in finally pushing me to quit recording this shitfest. The only possible way to fix it would be if Steve was coming back as AJ and not Original Recipe Jason. Now that might be kinda fun.

No more damn villains, please and thank you. They should've made her a Quartermaine, to take up Tracy's mantle and anchor the family again. Plus, I would've loved to hear her complete disdain for anything Corinthos related. But of course Uncle Frank brings in a well known soap actress for a story involving.....AMY. Somebody we met what? 4 months ago? FV is just completely fucking worthless.

Aw, dammit @Perkie, WHY did you have to remind me of Awesome Michael Quartermaine?? And how much do we love how Avery quiets down once she's away from Lauren and in Michael's arms? WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS????!!!!

I think that was JDP, right? The hair looked the same as that promo Uncle Frank did on the GH set when they announced he was joining the show. Because, with all the violence and hatred happening in the world right now, what this show was lacking was a 'Sonny in stranger danger' plot. I mean, Liv killing his 'beautiful baby boy', his ridiculous feuds with the other 2 Jiblings, and the whole Nelle thing was just NOT ENOUGH, amirite? I think I put $20 on ratings dropping to a 1.6 but I'd like to double down and go with a 1.4 now, please and thank you.

They need some kind of WoC for Michael to offset his blandness. He's terrible with Lauren and Nelle - they both look like they should be related to him.

So....Ninugh,, Nelle, Joss, and Sonny. Wow. I can't think of a less appealing group of characters to showcase for an entire week in the summer. Let me take that back - if they slip in Liez and her nearly geriatric murderhobo boyfriend, I think I'd wish for a black hole to open over the GH studios and just suck the entire thing into it. Yeesh, that's some fucked up storytelling, Uncle Frank.

Last week's ratings... http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2017/06/ratings-bb-hits-new-low-women-18-49-viewers-3 They gained 91K in total viewers but key demos were still down.
