Members rangethatrover Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 Can someone explain to me why this was announced a mere two days after all of this press regarding that TV Week article (or whatever it was) How long did they REALLY intend to wait to announce GL's cancellation?? Until that conference in May? This is the part that I find shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hopefully this news will light a fire under all the other remaining soaps. They all have to step up their games if they want to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 I hope you are right. How wonderful it would be if it mattered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 I laughed way too hard at that. Still, I wonder how they're going to promote the series now in the run up to its finale? 'Life doesn't happen here for much longer'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm blown away. I thought this was April Fools at first. Farewell old friend. ATWT needs to step up or it will be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 How much lead time does TV Week need before it goes to print? I suspect the decision was made by the muckety-mucks quite some time ago and has been quietly in the works behind closed doors among the accountants and lawyers and such.

Members bellcurve Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 Because affiliates kept switching the times and stuff, silly! And replacing that genius, Henry Slesar, with Lee Sheldon, did the show no favors. Damn you Ed Trach! Damn you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 It's still ten extra years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 Your damn right it should matter. AMC, OLTL, and ATWT are about to alternate as the LOWEST rated soap. What loser would want THAT title? Its scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm not the least bit sad or mad for the cancellation of this freaking mess for the last 2 years. It never should have gone "real." RIP GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 One gets the image of Ellen Wheeler calling people in the middle of the night, crying, asking if they're sure the show is safe another month. Like handling a crazy relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 This isn't exactly great news for ATWT either. Naturally, I'm reminded of Another World and Sunset Beach's one year reprieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 These days, GH too. If this is not an April Fool's joke (how tacky to do it today even if it isn't a joke), the entire ABC line-up is essentially at the bottom of the ratings whenever ATWT has a half-decent week.

Members Ann_SS Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 It helps that the ABC soaps do well in the big Eastern media markets. I'm sure that internally, they are on solid ground. ATWT is the soap that is now in most danger. P&G could decide to pull the plug instead of staying in the soap business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
