Sadly, this “Daymoji” app is a desperate attempt to reach the young demographic. Another such attempt, the misguided launch of AMC and OLTL as online series, proved to be a dismal failure.
Of course, CBS wants to do all it can to increase viewership. And, yes, CBS is thrilled and proud to have been the top daytime network for 30 years. But let’s face it: ratings for the 4 remaining soaps are nowhere near what they were 30 years ago.
Today’s producers and network executives could learn a lot from the golden era of soaps (1970s). Tell engrossing stories, develop rich characters and families, and create compelling drama. Newest technological advances, be damned. Yet today’s soaps are not your mother’s (or grandmother’s) soap operas — and that’s NOT a good thing…
AMC and OLTL failed because Prospect Park didn’t have a sustainable or viable business model.
What narcissistic exec came up with this idea…for Pete’s sake SMH…LMAO
I wish CBS daytime would use their resource to develop an online soap. But this crap they come up with just boggles my mind.
Ikr Lou..after making positive changes to their most popular daytime show y&r they hit you with this..I wish I could have been in that board room to hear the sound of crickets..someone must have eventually said..oh hell..just go with it.
This idea is just as bad as those comedy skits CBS put on YouTube.
And we see how far that went lol

OLTL Alum Renée Elise Goldsberry Says: “I Just Think The Best Actors In The World Are On Daytime Television”
As everyone knows by now, we have always been a huge fan of the work of Renée Elise Goldsberry starting back to 2003 and her beginnings on One Life to Live in her twice Daytime Emmy-nominated performances as Evangeline Williamson.
Since OLT, Goldsberry’s career has found her on-stage in the smash musical Hamilton, then in feature film and TV series including: Waves, Altered Carbon, The Good Wife, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, The House with a Clock in Its Walls, Documentary Now, The Get Down and Evil.
Deadline has recently released their New Hollywood Podcast and Goldsberry was a guest on the most recent episode. While she fielded questions from the hosts about her life pre and post-Hamilton, the topic of her time on the soaps was bantered about, Renée stood proud with the daytime community and their talent and unbelievable work ethic and how they are not given the credit they deserve.
When talking about One Life to Live, Goldsberry stated: “I learned my acting chops on that show, because we have so much work. I just think the best actors in the world are on daytime television ”
In explaining to the hosts how soaps are shot and the pace in which the actor’s are asked to perform, she related: “We take three months to film an hour and a half movie, but soap actors. shoot six hours of television a week. They’re just really talented. The stories are so broad, and they always have to continue to defend their character and some kind of really crazy situations.”
Renée summed it up by sharing: ” I love soaps. I love the fans of soap operas, I love the writers and the producers, I love everything about soap operas. I have some really, really good friends who are still in that medium, killing the game… I still see my friends on those shows, and I watch them, and I’m super proud.”
