Members Vanguardian Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Are Luke and Noah still around? I was thinking that a "Nuke" wedding would be a great send off along with some other plots being wrapped up. Maybe even a double wedding: "Nuke" and some other straight couple.

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 I don't see Larry Bryggman returning. The show was only a paycheck to allow him to do theatre. I doubt he has any nostalgic sentiment for the show. Would be nice to see Patsy Bruder, but I think that branch of the Stewart family is essentially dead to the writers. I can see people like Rosemary Prinz, Lisa Brown, Scott DeFreitas, and Mary Beth Evans returning, since their characters have strong ties to the current cast of characters. Would be nice to give some closure to Lisa and Barbara, have them finally find happiness with a man after all these years. I'm actually tearing up over this a bit. This was such an iconic show and a real warhorse in its day, and despite what some people might think, it pretty much stayed true to itself, never really losing its identity as much as some other shows have. It was never my favorite show, but there was always something comforting knowing that Bob, Kim, Lisa, and Nancy were still there, even in limited capacity.

Administrator Toups Posted December 8, 2009 Administrator Share Posted December 8, 2009 Another sad day for soaps. At least they're given a lot of time to prepare for the end. TPTB better do this right. So sorry ATWT fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Same script, different cancellation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mamasita Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 I never thought it was going to happen so soon. I thought they had just one more chance to save the show. Not now. Sad. And i do not believe the crap that they are 'looking' for a new home. This is just lip service to keep everyone 'hoping' until the last day.

Members jimmyk311 Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Actually, Dr.Oz is doing about the same ratings as DAYS. Who knows? Maybe SONY is trying to get out of soap biz by looking to produce cheaper programming. If SONY don't cancelled DAYS, Comcast will price hike the hell out of SONY over time. I can't be too sad with ATWT ended. P&G hasn't put any effort in saving their soaps in the latter years. If P&G would of spend their money on creating a production house for their soaps, maybe they could be saved. I sure Branco is crying in his bed right now wishing that he could have broke the news. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 I think this means the existing CBS soaps will be more micromanaged than before now. Y&R and B&B are both in the creative shitter anyway, so it might not make much of a difference. For Y&R, I'm at least hoping Maria will be pressured to hire more qualified people to help her run that show and changes will be made to the writing and producing team. I really hope CBS gives ATWT's spot back to the affiliates, I'm not really in the mood for some cheaply produced game show with an annoying host. Does CBS/Paramount want to produce a new talk show perhaps? There's always Oprah's void to fill, and she's ending in September 2010 too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 CBS is evil! They could not even wait until February sweeps! I also am sick at people GLOATING over ATWT's cancellation and blaming Kreizman's two months! ATWT was going to be cancelled long before Kreizman started. He was given a tiny chance to save it, less than two months. The show was garnering critical praise. It's not like he killed the show. Why don't you blame Grant Aleksander's return for being the death of GL while you're at it, it's just as faulty logic. The return of Phillip did not bring the ratings, Phillip killed GL!! That should show anyone trying to bring back an old favorite that it doesn't work because it didn't work after only a month! Don't bring back old favorites, it's just a waste of money, GL proves it! Does that kind of logic make sense to you? I am DEPRESSED, ANGRY, and HATEEEEEE CBS. ATWT has been on a roll and great to watch. I wish ATWT the best in moving to a new, innovative format.

Members Sapounopera Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 RIP ATWT I don't but the new home theories either, it is just something they have to say so people don't stop watching right now. Classic ATWT has been a YouTube pleasure of mine for quite some time, I will keep remebering the good times.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Who is claiming that? The writing was on the wall for a while, but Kreizman's hiring certainly didn't make a lot of people optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Not unexpected, but still saddening. R.I.P ATWT, hope you go out with a bang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mamasita Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Nancy Grace joins CBS (Dec 2 The Hollywood Reporter). Nancy Grace to replace ATWT on CBS fall 2010? Or is she replacing Oprah? or both? Have mercy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Well, I guess I finally will become a DOOL watcher. There is no way in hell I will ever watch a game show or talk show in the place of GL or ATWT. Like others I thought they might just get one more year to turn things around, now I just hope it ends on a good note and that the couples that should be together end up together.
