[QUOTE="Rove, post: 160199, member: 100"] Exactly. Primetime Soaps require different treatment to those daytime versions. With daytime soaps viewers are more susceptible to outlandish plots, it's their bread and butter. Primetime soaps require a certain style of storytelling conducive to its audience. But I'm left wondering if all this reality nonsense has infiltrated how we expect stories to unfold on adult contemporary drama. Are we no longer interested or invested watching 25 or 30 episode story arc series? Peach Dynasty doesn't appear to understand what its core audience is. If this version was going to be a reflection on the struggles a young woman still has in being taken seriously running a company like Carrington Atlantic then I'd buy it. Present a series with a clear goal in mind. I think the problem with Peach Dynasty is we (the viewers) desperately wanted to see the introduction of Alexis. It wasn't a matter of if...but when. The character overshadowed the original and the character was allowed to do the same here - with disastrous results. [/QUOTE]
