It hurts me to read reports that All My Children was nearly canceled. I don't know if they are just exaggerating but the show is such a major part of TV history that it would be unreal if it were not on the airwaves anymore.

Expect big things for McKenzie Westmore. The former Passions leading-lady has a big storyline in the works as the mysterious Dr. Sinclair. Seems the newcomer shares a tie to another Pine Valley resident! Guess who?

She is so Carolyn, Jake's wife.

they want DAYS OF OUR LIVES sooo bad they can taste it!

Why would they want it? Unless they are going to hire Deidre Hall back.

I think it's more exaggerating on the report itself. Seriously, his assessment that GL is not the worst soap on air anymore is ridiculous. Has he even seen GL lately? The show sucks balls.

If any ABC soap should get cancelled, it's that crapfest called General Hospital IMO. That's not even a soap anymore. It's just violence, mob, violence, mob and Scrubs (don't get me wrong, I love Scrubs)...

I've heard the rumors they want DOOL and I just don't get it. DOOL ratings are not consistently that much better than AMC's and they would probably lose some viewers in the network switch. I don't see it paying off for the network.

Wow, are they serious about that AMC being canceled rumor? Sad. Who's the baby storyline for Amanda, interesting.

I'm so glad AMC nor DAYS got canceled.

I agree. ABC should've changed the name of GH a long time ago to Mob Hospital, or Mob Wars.

Days has a bigger fan base than AMC has ever had.

could you imagine ABC cancelling AMC and firing Susan Lucci and giving it to Deidri Hall hahaha

Um. ABC OWNS AMC. If they wanted to cancel it tomorrow, they can. There's nothing to "pick up" or not "pick up."

Perhaps it's just Nelson's wording, but it's kind of making me doubt this. Not to mention why Fronsy would hire his pal Chuck Pratt to helm AMC id they were just gonna cancel it.

Yeah, I do to question the validity. I mean it wouldn't be surprising considering daytime's climate..... but why did they hire Pratt, go to the trouble of doing the tornado.... I don't know just doesn't make much sense. However this is ABC Daytime we are talking about....

I just can't even entertain the possibility..... as far as the show has sunk from its golden years I'd be lost without it.... :(

I think he's exaggerating too. I don't disagree that All My Children is operating on life support; but I don't think it was thisclose to cancellation. AMC had their Christmas party at Prohibition in Manhattan. That ain't cheap. Usually companies that are trying to save money forgo these sort of shindigs. But then again, looking at those pics of Ricky Paul Goldin bowing down to Susan Lucci makes me think he was doing that to thank her for taking a pay cut so that he could still have a job. :lol:
