with stories that are not emergencies and could wait until the news came on? They interrupted for the verdict of the Jennifer Crumbley trial. I could see if there was something happening that was going to affect the whole country, but to interrupt for a trial verdict seems going a little far to me.

Usually for me this is annoying, but after seeing the lineup for today, I could have cared less, RJ and Luna, Donna and Eric, Brooke and Ridge, Katie and Carter, please another day and another time.

Exactly how I felt. I commented to my husband that this was the first time I didn’t mind them cutting to news vs continuing the show. Sad.

The news is definitely more interesting. I was watching that trial, and I was hoping they would not to convict the parents. Don't get me wrong, they were negligent, but I don't think it was too good level of involuntary manslaughter. I can say if it was, though Thomas definitely did involuntary manslaughter.

This is an important and tragic verdict, but I agree. They didn't need to interrupt the soap opera.
They could have done a ticker at the bottom of the screen.

I agree they could have and should have waited for the regular news, but it sort of does affect all the nation. Now the precedent has been set, and parents better not let their kids have access to guns and get them mental health treatment when they act like nutjobs. He husband will no doubt be found guilty, too, after his trial.

I love how the parents have to get the kids mental health treatment, but the nation is fighting Universal health care, driving the costs of healthcare up, and opposes government assistance. Not focusing on your post, just speaking out in general since you mentioned the mental healthcare. It just made me think of the state of healthcare in America.
