Unfortunately I think perhaps 5 years..... its getting real dire.

By 2012.... I don't expect DAYS, AMC, ATWT and OLTL to be on the air..... unless something miraculously happens.

I'm telling you people. A 4-7pm or 5-8pm time slot on the NBC/ABC/CBS affiliates is where its at.

Ellen Wheeler has ties to AMC.... she better stay far, far, FAR away!

Knowing Frons, and how much he loves GL rejects, I can see him being first in line to employ Wheeler.

So..... I wonder what La Zimmer will have to say about all of this? Amelia Heinle, watch your back.... someone with fire and sass is about to be unemployed..... and would make a FABULOUS Victoria Newman....

Oh God. I thought for a split second that you meant that KIM ZIMMER would make a good Victoria. I had to do a couple more re-reads...

Say that I'm foolish but I never thought it would really happen. I just couldn't realize it and still can't...Such a sad day...

Knowing Frons, and how much he loves GL rejects, I can see him being first in line to employ Wheeler.

I know.... I am concerned...... former Passions EP and soon to be former GL EP running things......

Not a good combination.....

Oh God. I thought for a split second that you meant that KIM ZIMMER would make a good Victoria. I had to do a couple more re-reads...

So did I! And you know... I sort of liked the idea compared with the SnoreToria we have now.

But I like the idea of Gina Tognoni better.

ETA: Can you imagine Zimmer and Thad Luckinbill in love scenes? She'd eat him alive!

Yeah, I am sorry.... I should have wrote that better..... or separated it with a line break.

This is OUTRAGEOUS!

I cannot believe CBS is cancelling "Guiding Light" and they couldn't find GL another home like on their sister network such as The CW?

This is NOT happening! CBS Daytime will lose more viewers across the line-up as GL leaves the airwaves. Mark my word that Price Is Right, Y&R, B&B and ATWT will lose millions of viewers. Look at what happened after 1999 when NBC cancelled AW, DAYS and its line-up has not recovered since.

This is NOT a good day.

Good-bye CBS! And I mean forever.

WHEELER TO GH!

lol.

Of the over 40 set do any of you honestly see any of them going anywhere? Aside from CC and maybe RN i dont, sadly.

I think the "this is inevitable" attitude is bullshit. You can't tell me that if Curlee or other people of quality had stayed with this show that it would be in this place today. And causal factors like OJ, etc. have been used as crutches by daytime management for years. The fact is that uncurious, uninterested people ran herd on this show or that network, and daytime buckled because too many people in it resented being stuck working in "just daytime." If there was pride in the work, GH, ATWT, AW, GL, etc. would not have ended up as they have. Daytime would evolve, yes, maybe the medium or the execution would change. But it would not be in as dire straits as it is now, and GL's death is on GL's management. Not OJ Simpson, not cable, not the market. If it had worked for itself, if the people who had a say had bothered to maintain its integrity, it would at least have some seat at the table.

Calling it inevitable and a result of merely causal factors is a way to absolve personnel. And I know some posters on the Net with a vested interest in that. I'm sure they'll be back to absolve Chris Goutman, too. I don't mean you, Mark, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Now, Grant Aleksander's return perplexes me. Surely they couldn't be stupid enough to think that his return would get the show to a 1.9/2.0 right out of the gate. Plans to cancel were obviously in the works before his return. I wonder if he was apprised of the cancellation before signing on the dotted line and that is return was based on an agreement to have him eventually go on to direct ATWT. His ultimate goal is to direct, isn't it?

Literally.

If AMC was smart..... and I am in no way implying that they are..... they would snatch Jeff Branson back up..... and bring Jonathan back to the canvas....

and fire Cameron Mathison. Jonathan and Amanda

Preach it!

Yuck. Keep TumorBoy far away.

(but ditto on the fire CM part).
