Ummm....ok....wow, this blows.

So not only do you get rid of Another World (which means I'll NEVER get to the 96-99 years), but you also get rid of the airings of Port Charles? If it wasn't for Port Charles, I probably wouldn't even be watching SOAPnet. I DVR the morning episodes each day so I can watch before I go to work. We're not cut down to two...TWO episodes on a Saturday. Bullshit. No one even [!@#$%^&*] loves One Tree Hill or The O.C. that much to watch it that many times a day. This channel is called SOAPNET!!! Not "Network for cancelled primetime shows"!!!!!

You disgust me Brian Frons.

I will be launching a petition.

I hope OTH and OC suck for them. I mean, I know they are "popular" with the tweens but does Frons seriously believe they can carry the network?

I can understand 90210. I'd watch it all day long (sorry, I grew up with it) and it's doing well for them. I'm surprised Frons kept Dallas around.

Ugh I'm so mad, but I'm kinda hoping this could mean we get a SoapNet 2.

I'm distressed over the "Ryan's Hope" situation. Granted, I should be grateful that it's still included in the line-up, but only 1 hour per week? I've recently been enjoying recording the 5/5:30am airings and watching them in the evenings. This is going to drive me NUTS!!!

No it doesn't but they should find some way to count it because most people I know that have Soapnet catch their soaps there. The ratings are excluding alot of people by not counting Soapnet viewers.

This schedule sucks. As I said, I like that Days is on 7 and midnight. That was their original time. I understand both Days and Y&R do well so I think it was just a move they made because I did read on other boards fans didn't care for the Y&R and Days timeslots they are currently in. I suppose Frons may have done it to push Days due to IWTBASS or maybe he does have it in for Y&R.

Everything else on the schedule has Frons written all over it. It's appalling. No PC, no AW, no Melrose, hardly any Ryan's Hope. Disgusting. :angry:

I hope it isn't true. Even for Frons, this is really bad. I mean I was expecting AW to move but to take it completely off the schedule? I just don't buy it. I really hope this is just a horrible joke that those haters who want soaps like RH and AW off of Soapnet made up. Or some crazed SB fan who is jealous that AW is on SN and SB isn't.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
