I don’t care ..
I don’t watch cooking shows, they are bad for peoples health.
They watch what is the artery clogger of the day and then prepare it.
Not to mention the poundage accumulation from preparing and eating that stuff.

It should have been cancelled years ago.Absolute,mindless junk,nobody cooks in this country.We are the fattest country on earth because nobody cooks.These food shows are the cheapest garbage to produce.However, the ratings were so bad that abc was not making a profit.In september when good morning america in the afternoon starts,it will be trump coverage everyday.In the fall of 2019 nbc will put today in the afternoon at 1pm.

Yeah, and it was “Obama TV” for the eight years to! Get over it!

Oh my, here come the politics

Well, that is not true, many people cook in this country. Sadly, it appears the “new generation” would rather eat out and buy food that maybe someone dropped on the floor and put it back on the plate, etc. Cooking your own food is much healthier than eating out, besides everyone cannot afford the ridiculous prices restaurants charge for meals.

daytime is horrible…too much news and talk shows!!!

Talk. game, cooking show are all daytime can afford to air.
Those shows have no casts to pay usually a host or two and no scriptwriters etc.
daytime tv is Junk TV.
I can’t imagine anybody recording a daytime show to watch later ..
(the soaps are the one and only exceptions)

Cheap junk is daytime tv

I agree with you, too much garbage talk shows. We need OLTL and AMC back on Daytime

Whatever. Now go away. GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!

Bah ha ha ha! This made me laugh because I could just hear your delivery, Jaybird. I agree–even the picture of these three caterwauling foodies irritated me. It’s like I could hear them screaming just from looking at the picture.

Amen to you jaybird, Carla Hall was annoying as hell.

Absolutely, Jaybird!

Now bring back something worth watching…..ALL MY CHILDREN AND ONE LIFE TO LIVE!!!!!

Unless it stars the Kardashians, sorry, it will never happen!

Thank god, the Chew finally got cancelled. Good riddance. Carla Hall is very annoying.

Amen! And they had to stick her on GH!

Right on, Timmm! That was soooo unnecessary!

When I heard Carla Hall was coming on GH, I first thought Frank contacted Ellen Holly to reprise her OLTL character — now that would have been worth watching!

Well, they had a good run and lasted longer than I thought they would. Good luck to all three chefs especially Carla, formerly a contestant on Top Chef years ago, baby, you’ve come a long way. Happy Trails.

Get rid of the view (that show isnt worthy of capital letters) and I’ll be thrilled. We have enough news to cover everyone’s political orientation. Bring back the classic soaps; even if a half hour each.

I am so glad that The Chew FINALLY GOT THE AX!!!!! I DO NOT LIKE cooking shows!!!!! And, besides, at age 50, I already know how to CHEW MY FOOD…LOL!!!!!

Later.

I never liked it
I called it the screw!!
Cause I screwed up and canceled my favorite 2 soap operas !

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”

March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.

However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture

Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.

Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory,  when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”

Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”

The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean,  and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”

When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”

The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.

So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

Robyn Bernard, ‘General Hospital’s’ Terry Brock, Dead at 64

Former General Hospital star, Robyn Bernard, who played aspiring singer Terry Brock has died. She was 64-years-old.

Bernard’s body was found Tuesday in San Jacinto, California. A Riverside County Coroner told TMZ they identified the actress’ body using her fingerprints after deputies responded to a death investigation call on Tuesday March 12th.

Sources told the outlet that Bernard’s body was found in the wee hours of the morning. The cause of death has yet to be determined.

Bernard joined General Hospital back in 1984 as Terry Brock, the daughter of the abusive D.L. Brock (played by David Groh). Robyn remained on the ABC soap opera for six years before making her exit in 1990. At one point, Terry’s stepmother would become Bobbie Spencer (the late Jackie Zeman) when the nurse married her father.

Terry was involved in the Laurelton Murders storyline and after first setting her sights on Frisco Jones, wound up with killer Kevin O’Connor. Later, Terry was blamed for several murders and in the end killed Kevin in self-defense. In addition, Terry had a relationship with Dusty Walker played by none other than Shaun Cassidy.  She eventually left Port Charles after landing her own recording contract.

The last time GH Fans may have seen Bernard was in 2014, when she appeared at the GH Fan Club Weekend Past Cast event. Robyn is pictured below with the late Susan Brown (ex-Gail) at the fan gathering. She has been out of the limelight for several years.

In addition to her role on GH, Bernard was featured throughout her TV career on primetime’s Simon & Simon, Tour of Duty and The Facts of Life.

This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.

The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue.

Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.

In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”

The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
