You people who think everything is okie dokie do realize that just because it is salvageable doesn't mean sh*t if they don't do anything (or want) to save it right?

Another World was salvageable right up until the plug was finally pulled. The same is true for ANY cancelled soap. But do you see Another World around? NO. Because nobody took advantage of the fact that it was salvageable.

The same thing is true with AMC.

FACT: Frons does not like All My Children. He LOVES General Hospital. He likes One Life to Live.

FACT: Felicia Behr got the axe from ABC because she was defending the show. Does that not suggest someobody wants it gone?

FACT: Megan McTavish is not going anywhere until at least April. And even then she probably won't go.

IF AMC survives, and I really don't think it has a snowball's chance in hell, it will be because of people who screamed at the top of ther lungs, not because of people who sat with their eyes closed and fingers stuck in their ears singing la-dee-da.

End rant.

LMAO! Are you serious?

I've watched AMC Since the 80's and anyone will tell you AMC Today is NOT The AMC We all loved. The writers/Frons have totally disrespected AMC's History and the fans.

why in the world would we want to watch a show if we won't engoy it? I dunno about you but I have other important stuff to do then sit and watch a AMC Go further down the toilet.

If AMC IS AND WILL Be canceled it's not our fault its Frons and the writers fault.

Okay here's my two cents...well may be three....l'll start by saying I'm so much more a reader of the boards than a poster. I get too caught up in the drama... and angered by the negativity so now I just read.

I think we all agree AMC is in a bit of a slump. But any true soap fan has watched many many slumps over the years.....will watch them rise and slump again.....they are soap operas!!!!!

Imagine what it takes to tell new fresh relevant stories everyday for 40, 50, 60 years!! It cannot be easy.

It makes me sooo angry when people say they are going to stop watching because it's not at its greatest, and it infuriates me when people say a show should be cancelled for ANY reason!! We know the genre is WAY UNDER appreciated in the entertainment industry....we fans must never.

Soaps are unlike ANYTHING! In the gifts they give their viewer....what else can you spend a lifetime watching, gives you characters that become our life long friends, people we see more often than many of our extended family members stories that can shape our lives...nothing!

And if one (or more) of those life long "friends" leaves, be it the decision of the show or the actor...it's sad but you must take it as part of the history that makes up this wonderful genre. Mistake are made(TPTB) people(actors) want change.

I'm devastated by the loss of Julia Vincent Teri.... and I will write and call ABC/Disney as much as I can to let them know...which is what we should all do. Soap fans have lost their voice!!!! I think in part due to these boards...while they are a great way to reach other soap fans, they are a breeding ground for negativity. If all that energy, anger and time was devoted and pointed in the right way I think we could get what we want.

We are soap fans and we rival ANY fans of ANYTHING in the world. We must NEVER be fair-weather fans!!! If you stop watching because things get slow or set dates that you will stop watching by if things are not "fixed" you were never a TRUE FAN you were somebody that watched the show! I would watch AMC if it was an hour of Erica looking out a window silently.....heck I'd watch if it was ?? I don't know ...Annie, anybody!! My point is I will never stop watching!!!

Imagine your horrible doom prediction happened, (really to any soap) and it's replaced by some new reality show format or new talk show or something and it TEMPORARILY does well. You thing the other networks would be far behind in cutting their soaps??? I don't! I truly think in today's entertainment world the end of just ONE more soap could be the undoing of them all!

Then where would we be?.....on these boards??? saying remember the soaps?? How great were they I really miss them!...now we get to watch the girl on (insert new talk show) who is afraid of light bulbs or does not know who the father of her baby is...or the boy that lives off bugs on (insert new reality show)??? I do not want to see this day do you????

So SUPPORT your soap.....they ALL need it!

ICAM! I watch all 9 daytime soaps and have never completely stopped watching any of them. I hate OLTL right now, but I still tune in every now and then because I love soaps...no matter what
