SoapNet's Fall Schedule


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Sorry if this is old news. Looks like AMC will officially get no marathon whatsoever, the only soap with that distinction. On the one hand I get that AMC is effectively dead and it must be peforming horribly on SoapNet, which needs to make money. On the other hand, this is just going to hurt AMC even more.

Wow...I like 90210 and all, but 26 times a week? Really? Is that needed?

I still don't like that OTH and OC are on twice a day. OC only made 92 episodes, so it goes through it's whole run in like three months...which isn't ridiculous, but still, they didn't seen to mind putting "Dallas" on once a day, with its 357 episodes.

SOAPnet is no longer about soaps, especially if there's no longer gonna be an AMC marathon. No matter how fucked up the show is, how horrible the ratings are, they have to at least come out and admit that they're selling out on AMC fans. I'm not criticizing them for the business decision they made, I just want them to acknowledge that they know that they're pissing off the AMC people who relied on that weekend marathon to catch an episode they missed (or the poor people who can only make time to watch the weekend marathon because they are busy during the week).

I'm not surprised RH has lasted this long. Its fanbase is large and vocal and won't take any [!@#$%^&*] from SOAPnet. With "Dallas" gone, this marks the first time SOAPnet doesn't have one of the *big* 80s primetime soaps on...they were essentially replaced by the teen dramas. I love teen dramas, believe me (never was an OTH fan, though, and only like the first two seasons of OC, and 90210 is always delicious), but why can't they have both the teen dramas and the more adult stuff? Damn, all they need to do is put the adult stuff in the mornings (like, from 10AM to 2PM) and then put the teen stuff in the afternoon (2PM to 6PM). And they can pick better teen soaps, too. My beloved "Dawson's Creek" has been orphaned by TBS and The N treats it like [!@#$%^&*]. It needs a new home!

Figures, why doesn't Frons just come out and admit he wants the show gone. I always figured the Days marathon did worse than any soap marathon out there. It's kind of sad they'd do this to one of their own network soaps. Heck move it overnight or something, getting rid of it is stupid

I still do not know why hes doing it to an ABC soap. I could understand him doing it to Y&R or DAYS but an ABC soap.........

If he wants more people to DVR it during daytime then he needs to take GH off that list because there ratings are HORRIBLE also....................:angry:

Maybe it's in the contract agreement with Y&R and DOOL that Soapnet will run their marathons during the weekend (i.e., Soapnet is already paying Y&R and DOOL to run the marathon during the weekend but they are not paying for AMC since it's owned by the same company.) Just a guess.

I know I sound like JP here but...this is simply a response to what viewers are watching and not watching. Obviously, people are not watching that AMC marathon. It makes no money...so goodbye.

When they yanked AW, they said it was getting a 0.0 rating sometimes (too small to measure). Why should they continue to program something that is unwatched?

We have to let the market drive this somehow, OR we need to create a "PBS for soaps" where we send in money to support the nostalgia and the marathons. I would actually do that...but nobody is offering to create a PBS for soaps.

    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is probably one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.   
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family 
    • We all knew that TT is busy so if she's off screen for a bit except for phone calls and/or visits.. then it is what is. Ashley was nicely used as support... which the writers should have been doing since day 1 so that viewers could understand why exactly she's on the show LOL Chelsea/Madison.... seems too good to be true... we shall see. Shanice as a PT... if it means more airtime.. I'm good.
    • Yeah, he's a mobster with Vanessa while his wife cozies up to mobsters as the worst mayor in America.
