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.

    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
