The actors are great, the writing is interesting, the sets – I don’t know, someone is overly in love with blue I think – the outdoor sets look very “settish” to me, I don’t really know why they couldn’t recreate some of the original sets, for to me, Chandler Mansion no longer resembles Chandler Mansion – the outside of the popular Coffee hang-out truly looks like an indoor set – maybe these are minor points, I guess it depends on the overall feeling that one perceives.

I was looking forward to revisiting Pine Valley but not reboot with aged characters who can’t act. All the younger actors are vapid and totally lacking any type of charisma. Being shirtless can not hide their total inexperience. It really is painfully to watch. What can’t we have more of the cherished older actors. Often the show seems like a bad version of 90210.

So true…but im going to give it a little more growing time…my mother already stopped watching and she was a viewer since 1970! She did like Miranda but she was hoping for more vet storyline.

Where is Erica Kane???? The show is a sad shell of itself. David Canary is just recurring being really retired. Julia Barr, Jill Larsen and Cady Maclain are great actresses but they are not the grande dame as hard as they may try. They need Susan Lucci back to bring the sizzle. I am happy for Julia Barr she is on top of the world and sadly this woman couldnt find work after AMC. Likewise, while they won’t admit it mayb eosme of these acgtors are pretty scheap being desperate for work. Soaps are that work and regular.

Mark Consuelos Exits ‘Riverdale’

October 7, 2021

Last night, All My Children alum, Mark Consuelos (Ex-Mateo Santos) made what appears to be his final appearance for now on CW’s soapy drama, Riverdale.

Consuelos departed Riverdale as a series regular on the season 5 finale, after coming on to the show in its second season in the role of villain, Hiram Lodge.

Riverdale executive producer and showrunner, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, shared with Deadline a statement on Consuelos contribution and run on the series: “From the moment Mark joined us, he was up for literally anything, a hundred percent committed to making Archie’s life a living hell. And what’s funny is, Mark couldn’t be more different from Hiram. A classy pro and the sweetest guy, always looking out for everyone. We wish Mark the best and hope this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Hiram Lodge.

Consuelos offered up these sentiments in a statement on his Riverdale exit: “First and foremost, I would like to thank Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa for this incredible opportunity. Never before has playing a character that was so bad, felt so good. Huge thanks to the Riverdale fandom, to the brilliant crew and amazing cast, whom I consider dear friends and family.”

So, will you miss seeing Mark on Riverdale? Elsewhere, still no word on the “Pine Valley” reboot in which Mark and wife, Kelly Ripa, are two of the executive producers of that many All My Children fans were hoping would come to fruition. Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Beloved Soap Stars Left Out of 2021 Primetime Emmy Broadcast In-Memoriam Tribute

September 20, 2021

Last night, during the presentation of the 73rd annual Primetime Emmys broadcast on CBS, the annual In-Memoriam segment brought with it so many households names in a year that saw so many legacy talents and more pass away.

The tribute was performed by Leon Bridges and Jon Batiste to Bridge’s song, “River”, and as the images of the departed played across the screens from Cloris Leachman to Cicely Tyson, to Ed Asner to Michael K. Williams, and more, it was clear that several of the major late daytime soap stars were not included in the on-air tribute as well as other omissions.

Now granted, we know they will all be a part of next year’s 49th annual Daytime Emmy Awards in-memoriam segment, but still these actors were a part of this community and not only appeared on the soaps, but other shows as well.

Those that daytime fans noticed were not included were: Michael Nader (Ex-Dex Dexter and Dimitri Marick, Dynasty and All My Children) Stuart Damon (Ex-Alan Quartermaine, General Hospital), Ray MacDonnell (Ex-Joe Martin, All My Children) and Jay Pickett (Ex-Frank Scanlon, Port Charles).

From primetime MIA action were: Michael Constantine (Ex-Room 222), Tanya Roberts (Ex-Charlie’s Angeles), Director, Richard Donner, writer Larry McMurty, and DMX, to name but a few.

However, the Television Academy did list all of its members who died on their website in the In-Memoriam section, because due to time constraints, they could not possibly showcase everyone.

What do you feel about the omissions of Nader, Damon, MacDonnell, Pickett, and more from the In-Memoriam tribute? Let us know in the comment section, but first watch the segment.
