CBS' daytime forum is focusing this week's "Fan Panel" to As The World Turns. Since CBS airs four daytime dramas, the ATWT questions only pop up every 5 weeks. Also, most of the poll questions are totally useless (generally without exception) as they do not offer any options to reflect that none of their choices are appealing, BUT.......

we may have hit a goldmine as only 2 out of the 6 questions really give a chance to send a real message, and those 2 questions happen to be Luke and Noah-specific. I think that this is a great opportunity as we are responding to their questions, using their language, with little chance of the message not being communicated.

From a disclosure basis, CBS holds its cards way too closely and, week after week, only reveals the response the last question AND you have to look for it, but I know where to look.

Voting started today (Saturday 1/5) and we'll be able to vote through Friday (1/11).

Results for the story that keeps most of the voters coming back to the show will appear on thir website next Saturday (1/12). It's worth reiterating that we will not find out the responses to the first 5 questions. I am not a wide-eyed optimist by nature, but I feel very strongly the chances that Luke and Noah will be voted as THE story that keeps bringing people back are quite strong, not only due to their popularity, but also because the other choices are extremely unpopular.

In order to vote, you can follow the link below. You will need to provide your name, last name, an e-mail address and your gender. The latter I think also may be helpful to us as it will show that there are possibly more males (many new to the genre) who are watching than they may think. I am not sure if one is able to vote more than once as I was able to go through the process twice and it did not tell me to get lost; however it may just be very polite.
