So OLTL fans should start to go into panic mode?

[R Sinclair]

Start?

Thed WGA Gave ABC A Fair Compromise & They Said No

If They Can a soap because of this there will be a revolt

Guess this means fans can kiss AMC good-bye then...

If this can't be worked out, OLTL and AMC are a year or two closer to cancellation.

If one of the three soaps is canceled, the new ABC News chief should lobby to get that hour. It will be one thing that Frons can't control.

[Scotty]

Not unless Frons is promoted to that position.

[bellcurve]

OH CHRIST!

Keep Frons AWAY from my infotainment!

[OLTL_fan]

ABC would have to be out of their minds to promote this man. He should be gone.

[leahanna]

maybe I am slow, but why does this news mean OLTL gets canceled? I am not following, they would still have to pay the writers but they would still do the classic episodes, the writers would just get what they are promised, I don't see how that causes the shows to be canceled and it is very annoying that as soon as any news of any kind comes out, it is always OLTL is getting canceled

[LeClerc]

Wasn't it said when this was first discussed that if ABC didn't get what it wanted it would just fire a writer or two per show?

ABC shows have at LEAST 1 more year. They are going to give ABC shows a chance espically now ATWT is gone and being replaced by the talk show.
