November 10, 200718 yr Member Saw a commercial on Soapnet they're gonna be airing "Sunday Night Movies" starting December 2nd.
November 10, 200718 yr Member Real movies, or soap episodes like the two episode GH block? I guess this is more signs that Frons has taken over. I don't understand why they can't switch off showing classics of different soaps each Sunday. Why does it have to always be GH? He needs to get his head out of GH's flopping ass.
November 10, 200718 yr Member OMG ZendallFan, I could not agree more. WTF do movies HAVE to do with soaps...daytime soaps at that? Frons will probably get Varsity Blues and have the ads say, "You loved James Van Der Beek on DAWSON'S CREEK, watch him in this movie!" They probably won't even show movies that Deidre Hall, LaLucci, or other soap stars were in. You know, those DAYTIME soap actors. I completely understand why Blackwell left SOAPnet. Not to mention(on an unrelated note) they haven't even posted a press release or anything for this year's SOAPU contest. I'm willing to bet that was a Blackwell project.
November 10, 200718 yr Member It looks like real movies since they mentioned big movie starts like Julia Roberts and others in the promos. I assume SoapNet could air those TV movies soaps stars have done in the past, since sister-channel and Disney owned network, Lifetime, airs those movies all the time. But it doesn't look likely, since they're advertising big time movie stars in the promos. UGH! Frons continues to screw up SoapNet!
November 10, 200718 yr Member I didn't think Disney would go the way of Viacom and let one of its channels stand in total contradiction to its original purpose. This is the gateway to joining MTV and VH1, which don't have a thing to do with music anymore, and BET, which hasn't represented the Black community with dignity in years.
November 10, 200718 yr Member Other than Julia Roberts testing for every single soap imaginable, what the hell does SHE have to do with soap operas?! Thanks you AGAIN, Brian Frons for effing up a once great, interesting channel!
November 10, 200718 yr Member ...and BET, which hasn't represented the Black community with dignity in years. Oh GOD, thank you for saying that!
November 11, 200718 yr Member Frons will probably try to save face by having the star of movie talk about what their favorite soap or storyline is. I'm sorry but they moved the Days marathon to midnight for this crap. Edited November 11, 200718 yr by soapfan4life
November 11, 200718 yr Author Member Makes you wonder what will happen to the soap marathons on those days.....

He needs to get his head out of GH's flopping ass. ICAM....I want to see some relapse episodes of AMC back in the glory days of the late 70s and early 80s and of course the first half of the 90s. Do not let GH have ALL the spotlight
November 11, 200718 yr Member Let's face it MTV and VH1 hardly show music videos anymore...they've become lifestyle channels and that's probably what SoapNet is hoping to do, broaden from just soap repeats...I don't agree with it but it makes sense...more people will probably tune into "Pretty Woman" on a Sunday night than a Sonnylicious marathon...
