ByaNose May 18, 2018 Share May 18, 2018 I had forgotten Molly Burnett had filled in the last time. I was confusing her with Bree Williamson who played a different role. Anyhoo, Storms has a lot of issues. It’s her skin, her weight, and, now the flu. As tweeted, it was only for 2 days. She’s a fan favorite and the cast loves her, too. I think FV is standing by her for now. I think the real soap is behind the scenes. It’s gotta be better than what’s happening on screen. LOL!!!! Link to comment

In2You May 19, 2018 Share May 19, 2018 Grand Hotel looks like the type of show that usually gets cancelled after 1 season. Especially on ABC but at least it keeps Morgan off our screens 2 Link to comment
paisley May 19, 2018 Share May 19, 2018 Good Grief!!!! Grand Hotel looks awful. Who is co-signing this garbage? Damn Disney, what's up? Makes me think of Acapulco Heat. At least that had Fabio as a guest star ;) ;) ;) 2 Link to comment

There was alot of bad acting in that preview. and BC and the guy who plays the love interest look creepily alike. Link to comment
dubbel zout May 19, 2018 Share May 19, 2018 At least Acapulco Heat was cheesy fun. This looks like it takes itself way too seriously. ABC will either cancel it instantly or it will drag on and on. I did crack up that the guy in the pool took off his shirt to make the woman talk. That might work with me, under the right circumstances. Hee. Link to comment

BlancheDevoreaux May 21, 2018 Share May 21, 2018 Grand Hotel looks absolutely horrible. But, at least it keeps Morgan from coming back. I honestly wonder if the execs at ABC (and ESPN for that matter) have a clue what their intended audience is actually interested in watching. 2 Link to comment

dubbel zout May 21, 2018 Share May 21, 2018 It's possible the trailer isn't accurate when it comes to tone, but yeah, my initial impression of Grand Hotel is that it takes itself way too seriously. It should be a pulpy, soapy romp. 1 Link to comment

Replacements tanking is part of why GH is still on, but Frank was able to pare down the budget enough to make the show worth keeping on air, at least until they can find something cheaper that people will watch. Frank doesn't decide if the show stays on the air, the network poobahs do. 2 Link to comment
TeeVee329 May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 "The Revolution" tanking definitely helped, but I do feel like we heard that ratings went up during that first important September, when they had that water crisis story with Jerry Jax, and that that kept the show afloat for another year. Link to comment

Frank doesn't decide if the show stays on the air, the network poobahs do. I've brought this up before, but I can see the embarrassment of being the first network without any daytime soaps weighing in the back of the execs' minds at ABC (and NBC, for that matter--for a network that seemed determined to cancel every daytime soap it had over the years, they sure haven't given up on DAYS yet, have they?). They may not be actively interested in keeping those two soaps on the air, but NO ONE wants that title first. No one. It almost feels like a game where one network is silently waiting for the other network to make a move in that direction, because they don't want to go first. And while NBC, like I pointed out, DID seem content for years to become the first network to dump all its daytime soaps, I can see them becoming less comfortable with that idea once DAYS really was all it had left. And ABC--once THE network to watch for daytime soaps--would look even more pathetic if THEY actually went first. But this may just be me and one of my many other stupid theories, so there you go. 3 Link to comment

I've been watching her since Loving, GL and now GH. That said, she is FV pet. I think FV even said that she and MB are the stars of the show. Of course, she would defend him since she is front and center. She does a lot for the daytime community but she wouldn't admit that he might be hurting the show either. Also, the "Be nice, he hired my boyfriend!" is too funny. Although, you forgot about the part that he was hired in the parking lot. LOL!!!! Edited May 22, 2018 by ByaNose 1 Link to comment

Thiebaud. And actually, by the time that question was asked, the IG pimping had stopped for quite awhile. As a result, we don't actually know WHEN they broke up/ended their engagement. And it WAS surprising, given how public they had otherwise been about their relationship before. I kind of strangely admire how remarkably quiet they were in parting with each other (while also selfishly wanting details because I'm hypocritical AF). 5 Link to comment

dubbel zout May 23, 2018 Share May 23, 2018 I suspect Mario Batali's troubles affected The Chew enough for ABC to cancel, even though he wasn't mentioned even obliquely. I have a hard time believing another hour of GMA is cheaper, but whatever, ABC. 6 Link to comment

I don't think them having others read for the part is as big of a deal as LW is trying to make it out to be. On SBu's podcast, he is talking to the guy who plays Michael, and they were talking about how he got the part, and it was discussed by SBu that even though there were others there reading for the part, all of the people in the room knew the part was going to the guy that ended up getting it.
