Is The Talk in jeopardy of getting AXED? New report suggests high-profile incoming soap 'raises questions for future of' daytime chat series


The programming decisions come at a tumultuous time for the chat show, which initially arrived on the network in October of 2010, and has run for 14 seasons.

According to a report from Deadline published Thursday, the series, which has a current cast of Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O'Connell and Sheryl Underwood, is 'the lowest-rated show on the CBS daytime lineup,' which could factor into where the network ultimately decides to slot The Gates. Val Jean's credits include having penned more than 1,000 episodes of soap operas, according to iMDb, as she has won seven shared Daytime Emmy awards for her writing efforts on shows such as General Hospital and The Bold & The Beautiful. Other EPs on the project include Sheila Ducksworth, who is the president of the CBS Studios NAACP venture; in addition to Kimberly Doebereiner, Leon Russell and Derrick Johnson.
