Members Juliajms Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 Wow. This is great news for GH and soaps in general. YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 Still makes me mad that higher rated ratings & demo wise OLTL got cancelled and GH gets to stick around. I'm glad the Revolution was cancelled, & here's hoping the Chew is cancelled in the coming year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 When and where will they be showing Gh though on most markets? Did they not give back the affiliates there timeslots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted April 11, 2012 Administrator Share Posted April 11, 2012 The show will probably move to 2pm starting in September - a move I wouldn't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 A soap sandwiched between two talkers. I'll be interested to see the ratings. "GMA in the Afternoon?" Good Morning America in the Afternoon? The genuises at ABC daytime come up with another gangbuster show title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCHistory Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 I hope the time slot move does not kill it! It may hurt the post-class audience of HS and College students. This is a small victory for soap viewers everywhere. But where the industry is today, any victory is a welcomed victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 I apologize for rudely touting my own horn, but I was one of the very few who predicted all along that GH would not be cancelled in 2012. However, my predictions have been wrong a fair number of times; for instance, I believed that ATWT would outlast GL by two years instead of one. (Toups and many others correctly predicted that ATWT was a goner the moment GL was cancelled.) I certainly expect GH to be gone shortly after its 50th anniversary. ABC will have more time to find a replacement; if this "GMA in the Afternoon" show does reasonably well, then that may be what replaces it.

Members Vee Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 I thought OLTL had a pretty excellent finale, for the most part. The prison break was over the top nonsense, but it worked. Not every couple was one I wanted - John and Natalie, Clint and Viki's forced reunion (I'd have preferred they stayed with Kim and Charlie, respectively) - but people I cared about were happy, and the scenes and writing were heartfelt, and the cliffhanger provided a wonderful sense of a continuing, ongoing serialized world, which is the core of what daytime was about. AMC I thought was doing well up to the last hour or so. The JR thing was so unnecessary, and frankly given the fact that Prospect Park had already lost interest in AMC, I found it cruel. I'll enjoy whatever OLTLers I can get on GH. I do think this team cares about GH's history and fixing the show, and I think their hearts are often in the right place but their taste is often extremely questionable. The show's a lot more watchable to me than it was before February but I'm still only half-interested. I'd also like to note again how much this articulates the profound error of cancelling OLTL.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 Trust me they aren't watching. I take college classes and have a break during the time GH is on and there are very few classes at that time and they arent watching and I'm on East Coast.

Members JaneAusten Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 Congrads But I am confused. When is this extra hour of GMA airing? And what time is GH going to air at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 Extra hour of GMA will air at 2 and GH at 3. I'm sure GH will move to 2 when Katie premieres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
