With the real world revolutionizing, when will our shows?
Honestly, do you think the US soap operas will survive another decade?
Even with COVID19 quarantine, ratings have tanked and even more than ever, people are no longer searching for an escape and are looking to take action in their community. Thoughts?
Soaps are institutions, we know this. The ones remaining are older than we are and the ones who died out were product pushing vehicles controlled by corporations. Is it a coincidence that the P&G owned shows died out as culture shifted ten years ago?
As Americans drift even further away from the mega corps and systemic racism ruling the world, what comes next for soaps that have been steeping diversity?
The UK has an even deeper rooted racism but many are speaking out from John Boyega to Hollyoaks fave, Rachel Adedeji
It’s 2020 and we’re still getting firsts for black characters. Eli and Lani are set to be the first black couple married on screen in 53 years of DAYS history. Do execs not see the issue here? Will they ever?
Have any of the shows or networks released a statement in support of the anti-racism movement?
Y&R and B&B have retweeted blanket statements from CBS
GH has retweeted a blanket statement from ABC
Nothing from DAYS
Across the pond, Hollyoaks is planning a special podcast discussing the BLM movement and further action is being taken by the show, one can assume there will be a future storyline incorporating this.
Camila Banus recently set Twitter aflame by cursing protestors, blocking black fans and ultimately not practicing social distancing. Steve Burton was paid money on Cameo to address his stance on BLM and just ignored it. Meanwhile, many other soap stars continue to protest and speak up.
Have you kept a tally on those who haven’t spoken out? Do they have to speak out?
Martha Madison tweeted that she sees all of the colleagues who kept quiet during this time with other stars co-signing. How will life be once soaps are back in production?
Victoria Rowell has re-aired her thoughts on racism in soaps
Final Thought: How are you managing your hopes, dreams and aspirations for your favorite genre that has historically not cared about you?

Story Discussion:
Franco/Liz - After just discussing how Aiden and the kids should be more involved in the story, this week we saw more interaction between Liz's kids and Franco. Is the humanization of Franco-Drew helping us feel something for this story?
Julian/Kim- Kim wrote a "It's not you, its me" letter to break up with Julian and he wasn't happy. At all. Are we sad that these two broke up? Or was it time?
Joss/Dustin- Are we headed towards a child grooming story for Lulu's new man? The panel digs deep and discusses if this is the story that GH should tell.
The end of Shiloh- From kidnapping Wiley to the bitter end, this was an exciting week for the end of Shiloh. Discuss Sam's selfless acts, Jason coming to 'save the day' followed by Sam shooting him with the flare and Willow IDing the body, making sure there was no doubt that Shiloh is dead...
Was death the right answer for Shiloh? Or could a little rest and reset been the answer to then keep Coby Ryan McLaughlin around? Are we shocked they ended his 3 year contract 9 months in???
