Soap Opera Weekly has actually put it all in perspective. The news is that story does not matter. If a favourite character dies, no need to worry, they will soon be resurrected. If the so-called Soap Opera Press reports that there was ill will with the departure of a well loved actor, pay it no mind.

The news was also served up with Ms. Hinsey’s interview with Brian Frons whose message to the public boiled down to this: if you are uncomfortable with a story, don’t worry we’ll rewrite it for you. If the Network needs to cut back on the Daytime budget, perhaps Mr. Frons’ salary might be a focus. How much does a person like that make? Why does that person need to micromanage individual shows to the point of rewriting them? Take the money being paid him and invest it in the shows that need competent teams.

The major focus of the issue virtually encourages the viewer not to care. Point taken.
