… From The Dead?

The latest episode of the Soapy podcast dropped today, with guest Susan Lucci. As you can imagine, the topic of the ever elusive reboot came up. According to Susan, it's still very much a possibility. Feel like I always say this when this subject comes up, but I don't know what to think. Of course, the lifelong fan in me would love nothing more than to reunite with my beloved Pine Valley friends. But, if I'm being completely honest, I don't know if I can go through this again.

Let's look at this logically. Three possible outcomes. The first is that it finally comes to fruition, and has a healthy run. This is the dream, and would make me the happiest. Next, and unfortunately most likely is that we get more information on intent, get all excited despite ourselves, and nothing happens… again. The final possibility is that the green light is finally given, it makes it to air, and is unsuccessful. Being completely honest when I say I don't think I could withstand the emotional toll those last two would take. The high of a reunion, and the absolute gutting devastation of having to experience that loss for a third time would be positively unbearable.

So, I think it's obvious why I don't know how to process any of this. Was just getting comfortable with the thought of this torture being behind me. Here we go again.
