March 29, 200718 yr Member There's a special place in hell for Brian Frons and I hope he burns there. I swear, the day that man finally gets what's been coming to him for years now, there will be dancing in the streets. I know I'll certainly be a part of it.
March 29, 200718 yr Member The low ratings Coleridge mentioned for AW, could also stem from when SoapNet tried switching Dallas and AW's time slots awhile back; AW probably lost a lot of viewers due to that mistake. They finally fixed their mistake, but I bet a lot of people who tuned out due to the time slot change never tuned back in........ Count me in as another person who doesn't like Daniel Coleridge........

He's an awful reporter, I simply can't stand his writing style. He's simply a gossip columnist with lots of focus on himself. The ratings argument is way off. So what is the standard 14-49 rating Soapnet is getting, heh? A 0.1 probably??? They are a cable network catering to a niche (or at least should be). The news about AW cancellation stinks!
March 29, 200718 yr Member I would love to see the Soapnet ratings and demos for all shows. Why is it such a secret? For all we know, AW was actually doing ok and taking away fans from ABCs line-up. It's a stretch, but I don't trust anything they say.
March 29, 200718 yr Member Frons is an a$$hole plain and simple. Look at what has become of the ABC soaps under his direction. They are pretty much crap.
March 29, 200718 yr Author Member Apparently the new rumor floating in GL and ATWT circles is that deals between Soapnet and P&G for GL and ATWT have failed thus Soapnet canceled AW. I wouldn't be suprised if this is true because since that moron Frons put it out there that he spent $50 million dollars to get OTH and The OC, P&G thought they would take a shot with Frons and failed. Lawd, Frons is an idiot who is going to kill Soaps. Edited March 29, 200718 yr by dawn9476
March 29, 200718 yr Member So, SoapNet was trying to acquire the rights to GL and ATWT, and when that fell through, they cancelled AW out of spite? I dunno, something just doesn't seem right about that. I can't imagine Frons giving a crap about adding any shows that aren't ABC related or otherwise teen-oriented. But then again, I wouldn't put anything past that loser.
March 29, 200718 yr Member I don't believe that either. GL is so low rated on CBS, why would SOAPnet want it? And there is no room to add another current soap to their lineup. They are already pushing it with Y&R. I always assumed that SOAPnet would pick up GL if it were cancelled, but I doubt we will ever see another classic soap on SOAPnet.

I agree...where would they find the room to fit ATWT and GL, unless they were both graveyard shifted and ran only two times a day?! And I also agree with you about classic soaps on SOAPnet...they are done and over with. As of April 6, 2007, SOAPnet as we know it will no longer exist.
March 29, 200718 yr Member I never liked Coleridge and wish he'd just STFU. Seriously. I wish he'd STFU about his book, it's annoying the way he tries to mention so often in his "News Blurbs" and etc. on TVGuide's site......
March 29, 200718 yr Member Yeah, that was very annoying. He was CONSTANTLY plugging his book. Very obnoxious.
March 30, 200718 yr Member Yeah, that was very annoying. He was CONSTANTLY plugging his book. Very obnoxious. He's plugging it again today in his blurb about Josuha Morrow.....
