Days: TV Guide Article about John's Death/Drake's firing

I don't think it has anything to do with being fair, as ultimately, it is up to CBS or ABC to add a show, or replace one. It's business. But personally, it would suck. I guess if you're a fan of a specific show it would feel disrespectful to suggest one show should be cancelled for another; I'm sorry for that. Although, DAYS is my sentimental favorite, I tend not to like one show more than the other. They are all the same to me at this point.

Also, I don't get the business logic in canceling two higher rated soaps, to make room for the lowest rated soap on television. Also, when soaps switch networks, they have a history of losing over half their audience.

ATWT and GL have been on CBS for over 50 years, they sure as hell deserve better than to be canceled for a reject soap from another network. Same reasoning applies to AMC and OLTL on ABC.

Come on offing two soaps for one? That's just laughable to me and would kill the genre even faster.

I gotta co-sign your post again Y&RWorldTurner

I remember a few years back when it was rumored ABC wanted Days and that they'd either cancel OLTL or make it a half hour, OMG that pissed off ABC fans in general, not just OLTL fans.

Yeah I'll never understand this talk about cancelling ATWT and GL for DAYS.

That right there is reason enough for it to not happen. That and backlash from viewers of the other shows.

2 shows for the price of 1 is just wrong in so many ways IMO
