SOAPnot Phone Blitz

We invite everyone who is unhappy with SOAPnet's cancellation of Another World,

the time drop of Ryan's Hope and Port Charles to 1 hour per week each show,

and the way SOAPnet management has turned their back on classic daytime soaps,

to join in the phone blitz on Thursday, May 10th. TODAY!(only!)

The date of May 10 was picked for a specific reason.

On this date in 2006 it was announced that Brian Frons' management responsibilities

had been expanded to include not only ABC daytime but also SOAPnet.

It seems right that we pick this day to make a statement about how much

we don't like what we've seen since he took over.

Here's what you need to know:

- We are calling ANNE SWEENEY who has ultimate authority over SOAPnet.

(Deborah Blackwell reports to Brian Frons; he reports to Sweeney.)

Many letters have been sent to Sweeney so she is aware of our concerns.

We have been very specific about what we want: Another World back on SOAPnet;

Ryan's Hope and Port Charles back to daily episodes.

- Phone number to call:

212-456-7777

- When to call:

Thursday, May 10th between 9AM and 4PM Eastern - TODAY!

- What to say:

Ask for Anne Sweeney's office.

Some may get as far as her office; others may get stopped at the switchboard.

Either way, leave a message.

Tell them you are calling to ask Ms Sweeney to get involved in addressing viewer

complaints about SOAPnet. We have complained directly to SOAPnet and to Brian Frons

and feel are concerns have been ignored.

(If there is more you want to say, go ahead.)

- Please be sure to mention Brian Frons by name.

Ms. Sweeney reads mail but then forwards it to the appropriate department head.

(That would be Frons in our case.)

She need's to understand that we are contacting her because Frons has been unresponsive.

Please call!! There is power in numbers!

Don't be surprised if you get an answering machine... Just leave a sincere message and say

what you feel in your heart. That's that I did. Just MAKE sure that FRONS' name is mentioned!!!

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
