I mean, while this is probably fake and I'm getting my hopes up for nothing, I have to believe that this could be a good idea. Guiding Light has lived it's time. 70 years is a huge milestone, and one that I don't think any other soap will meet. Sorry to say it, but it's not getting any better. Do you want to see this show end up like Passions, hitting 1.7s? I'd rather end it on a respectful number.

Dude, where have you been? Yes, I admit it. :lol: I want to see DAYS last and if it means taking off a nowhere going soap like GL, then so be it. ATWT has hope and I don't want to see it be cancelled. Kill me for having a dream :lol:

How about they would do it to make a profit? It's all about the money! CBS would gain from DAYS, definitely.

I agree that cancellation is not good for the genre, Josh, but for "GL" it's a different story. Sorry, "GL" fans, but do you want things to get so bad that all scenes take place in a single setting? A hotel room ? A restaurant? Something like that? It would definitely take away from the show. If it affects the show's quality in a crippling manner, economics may force cancellation or force an incredibly bad product. I'm not a hypocrite for saying this (and I don't mean to be meanspirited, that's not it at all). "Passions" was young and wasn't paying the obviously HUGE salaries of vets who've been on the show forever, like GL is probably paying Kim Zimmer and others. On my show, the budget wasn't affecting greatly the production values. But all you hear about from many GL fans is the lack of sets and how pitiful it sometimes looks. That's all I'm saying here. Either way, it's an unfortunate situation, but some shows run their course, and perhaps GL is one of them. 70 years is an incredible accomplishment.

    • Ooh I like, and yes I'm glad the "friends of" are included.      Gosh, they keep stringing us along... I can't wait to see what the final roster for OC will be. Cheering for our girl Taylor Armstrong to make the official cut!  LOL at the other 6 castmembers getting sick and tired of the back 'n forth between Bad Weather. It's like, we GET it.  The dumbass who needs her Bravo paycheck thinks it's hypocritical for cousin to write about about leaving the Mormon church while still being on "the list", while Heather says she's already left in every sense of the word other than making it "official." It took 15 years for Whitney to be officially excommunicated, and Heather doesn't want to bother with the long process.  Like the Miami woman said, it's like a couple that has completely separated without getting an official divorce (but less so, because, it's just a freaking church). Whitney keeps stringing this along and then does that tackyass mess at the end of saying the top 3 secrets she thinks Heather is hiding. If we never speak of the black eye again, it'll be too soon. 
    • So far how would you rank the first 11 years from best to worst
    • I feel like Kelly's recent Variety interview confirmed for me that the tabloids no longer have any power over the media. Kathy Lee was raked over the coals by the tabloids.  There were weekly covers with unflattering photos of her yelling.  And for what?  She was a perky host with a successful commercial career who built two live-in health clinics for people with AIDS.  In retrospect, we know that the constant cruise commercials and KMart clothes were probably used to supplement her lack of income from Live.  When she was involved in a child labor scandal, her response changed the industry and she replied immediately.  When her husband publically cheated with an airline hostess, she stayed on the air and maintained her composure.  Yet, she was the punching bag of the National Inquirer for years.  Kelly learned from Kathy Lee's experience and avoided tabloid drama.  She would appear occasionally, but there wasn't much traction, nor fodder for trash media critiques.  However, 20 years ago, this interview would have made her a front-page staple. The tabs hate whenever a woman expresses a need for equity in pay.  They would have dragged her as an avarice villain who forced her co-stars out of their jobs, rather than recognizing her as one of the longest-running daytime hosts (Regis hosted for 22 years, and Kelly has been there for 23) who deserves some respect.
