Members Chris B Posted November 28, 2009 Members Share Posted November 28, 2009 I'm not interested enough in Alexis to read all that, but I do wonder if they'll be keeping Y&R on the new channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted November 28, 2009 Members Share Posted November 28, 2009 It's good to hear they aren't sacking the soaps. I remember a friend with contacts in the UK told me ABCUK (I forget the real name, ABC1?) dumped General Hospital although it was one of their highest rated shows. They wanted to rebrand the network or something. Very odd because after they dumped the show the network went 24 hours so they clearly had timeslots for it. They started airing with the hotel fire and my friend loved it. She remembered it from the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted November 28, 2009 Members Share Posted November 28, 2009 Took me forever to realize this is about a UK channel now connected to our CBS. No wonder the article author called Dynasty a CBS program when it was on ABC here. Just checked out the website for the channel, which was formerly called Zone Romantica, and I'm glad to see they are still showing Guiding Light, at the strange hour of 2am. Looks like they are on 2006 episodes - the "Inside the Light" era! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted November 29, 2009 Members Share Posted November 29, 2009 Yeah, it was called ABC1. I went to DigitalSpy once and was shocked at how much they enjoyed GH. They loved Sonny. It boggles the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 29, 2009 Members Share Posted November 29, 2009 Fun read, but awwww man, I got a rhinestone-studded boner thinking this was news about the new project Joan Collins has been so hush about! It's funny how quickly the mind works, I figured they were incorporating Alexis into some CBS primetime show. Have you guys seen her makeover reality show from the UK?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lizE_xFWZiI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yup, GH was really popular for such a small network, (ABC1), but they dropped it in favour of constant sitcom repeats and when they started losing out on acquisitions to the bigger channels they quickly went downhill and off the air. To this day I'll never know why they didn't think to show the entire ABC daytime lineup, including The View, and some older primetime stuff. It makes so much more sense. I did love that they brought 8 Simple Rules, Less Than Perfect and Hope & Faith to my attention, though (even if the constant repeats quickly made me lose interest) It really annoys me that CBS Drama/Zone Romantica is only on Sky and Freesat. I have VirginMedia and we don't get it, only CBS Reality (yawn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Technically it is a CBS Program. Almost all the rights to Aaron Spelling shows are now owned by CBS/Paramount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 And remember the Catfights and Caviar reunion aired on CBS too (which galled some fans) under Henry Winkler's production company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
