I liked how she was a champion of soaps but I think this change will be good news for Y&R,the show has not been doing well and the problems and with her influence gone the writers may have more freedom and the saint Lola mandate can end
No offense to you Michael, or Ms. McDaniel….but who cares? Soap fans dont care about the corporate suits…..with some exceptions! If its a Brian Frons…who has caused devastation and destruction across the daytime landscapes, then yes. On the lower level… The Executive Producers and Head Writers… we generally care about news. If its a Phelps, or a Carlivati, or a Pratt…we generally care! But these no name…..nobodies essentially…why even report on them? They spout the same “We are very pleased with our daypart!”.

Daytime execs are not really in touch with daytime viewers. Think about the devastation to daytime soaps caused by Brian Frons with the cancellations of AMC and OLTL and Barbara Bloomless with the cancellations of ATWT and my all-time favorite Guiding Light. Noticed that Bloomless is writing for GH so the writing might be on the wall by ABC. They have made no move to cancel that GMA Day mess that is a horrible ratings lead-in for GH.

All My Children Alum Cornelius Smith Jr. Joins the Cast of Apple TV+ Limited Series, ‘Five Days At Memorial’
Daytime fans remember him fondly as the son of Jesse (Darnell Williams) and Angie Hubbard (Debbi Morgan), Frankie, on All My Children. And now, actor Cornelius Smith Jr., is set to join a major limited series based on the acclaimed nonfiction book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Sheri Fink, about the the first five days following Hurricane Katrina made landfall entitled Five Days at Memorial.
Written by John Ridley and Carlton Cruse, Smith will play a doctor, (something he is very familiar with playing since Frankie Hubbard was a doctor in Pine Valley!) named Dr. Bryant King, an internist and one of the few doctors of color at the hospital, who finds himself very much in the middle of the crisis. He will headline the show alongside Vera Farmiga and Adepero Oduye.

The series will stream on Apple TV+, and no word yet as to when it will have its debut following its filming.
Since his time on All My Children, Smith has appeared on ABC’s Scandal, and had recurring roles on God Friended Me, Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker and Manhunt.
Deadline broke the casting news.
So, looking forward to seeing Cornelius back on our screens? Do you remember his work as Dr. Frankie Hubbard on All My Children? Comment below.
