Members SteveFrame Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 From everything that I have read though the production costs between an hour and a 30 minute show are not that different despite the time. So if it boils down to a cost issue, cutting it won't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brimike Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm not sure what calling Guiding Light will do - it's not like GL decides if they're going to be canceled or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carolyn1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 Entertainment Weekly says that an insider at GL confirms the axe is likely to fall within the next month (but it will air until September). Sad news for the genre. And then there were 7...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rangethatrover Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 My guess would be 2010 ATWT 2011 OLTL 2012 AMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carolyn1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 I still think all the ABC shows will go at the same time. They own all three of them, and not one of them does significantly better or worse than the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 I thought it was pretty sure to be getting renewed, at least it was looking that way. I dont know why but I have a hard time believing this, while I totally knew Passions would be a goner as soon as NBC found something they thought was viable enough to replace it. Part of me wonders if GL really is a goner, so many steps have been taken to get it in much better shape that I don't see CBS cutting it; I thought this new production model meant it was actually generating a profit?

Members Ann_SS Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 I am a fool hoping that EW is wrong. It is delaying the inevitable, but I hope that GL gets another year. We'll know by next month either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's going to be "next month" in a couple of days. Very strange to me that all of these articles are breaking a couple days before April . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carolyn1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 Last year, CBS didn't renew ATWT and GL until they announced their fall primetime skeds in mid-May. So it could take until then (Wednesday, May 20th) before they make any announcement. (Plus, it would give them the added benefit of "burying" the news amid all the other schedule changes).

Members Rakesh Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/03/guiding-light-s.html I feel like slapping that bitch, Lynette Rice for writing such a stupid article. It is nothing but pure garbage. All she does is bash the show when she has no clue what's it about. An insider "confirmed" to EW that the show is going off air? Too bad the "insider" didn't even leave them a comment on what's going on. A typical soap bashing article from a reject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 GL will always have a special place in my heart, even if I just can't get behind what it is right now. However, since many are enjoying it at the moment, wouldn't it be better to go out on top, rather than going out way past your prime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
