I don't think the unabortion could have really broken AMC. GH had a story about Laura Spencer being drugged and essentially violated by her stepfather, Rick Webber, murdering him, her kids running around with his corpse in "comedy" scenes, then Laura being put in a mental home for years. This was basically spitting in the face of longtime viewers, many of whom loved the Webber family and had very fond memories of the Laura/Rick relationship. Yet ratings still went up at this time.

I hate Rick being trashed but remember Guza was craftily luring in the old Luke/Laura fans with the reunion they were planning. During that story Luke was painted trying to uncover the truth and protect his Angel, so he wasn't the total douchebag he is today. Guza sent Laura off in a catatonic state to dream endlessly of L&L's big wedding day... that was tragic and I hated it, but I cried and watched. I quit when Guza trashed L&L with is fake wedding and the Tracy crap. It's amazing Guza got away with trashing the most popular couple and story in the history of soaps!

Rylee has been forced on the show for ages--if anything they were on screen more in NY. :unsure:

My point is Budig left and only returned when the show moved to L.A. If the show had stayed in NY maybe there would be no Rylee right now.

Umm she NEVER apologized for the abortion to Jeff and Joe... :unsure:

Did she say the actual words? No. Was it implied, IMO, yes. People will agree or disagree, but she basically ate ever reason she ever had for having the abortion and all but apologized to those to jerks.

I actually think that AMC went into the crapper when Agnes Nixon had Erica steal Maria's baby. It was the moment that I thought AMC lost its way.

I seem to remember that Lorraine Broderick wrote the storyline in which Erica stole Maria's baby. Ms. Nixon was more involved with the show at that time but Ms. Broderick was headwriter and that was definitely her story (a story she took a lot of heat for when the viewers ended up hating it....)

I think Agnes claimed that it was her idea although that might have just been to appease angry fans. She wrote Marlena de la Croix a letter after Marlena panned the story.

I didn't think the story was that bad when it played out, but then I was far more offended by some other stories at the time, specifically, Tanner Jordan, and Jake destroying any life Liza ever had as a character.

Well, it isn't clear to me. I have yet to see a lot of support for Rylee out there even on YT and FB. Of course Frons is pleasing some fans, but he isn't pleasing the majority of AMC fans. Like it or not, the low demo ratings is proof of that. I think GH Sonny/Jason/Carly are on a different level than Rylee... Rylee is universally hated by the majority whereas Sonny/Jason/Carly have tons of fans. Sonny & Brenda's wedding helped boost GH's ratings, but Rylee's Valentine's day wedding didn't help AMC in the ratings. Rylee has never brought in high ratings for AMC. I've seen a lot of hate for Rylee on the official FB page, and less support. I think promoting "one" of the most hated couples in the history of AMC at nauseam is a detriment to the show. JMO!

ICAM! I've seen very little support on FB and a whole lot of hate, yet Frons just doesn't seem to care.

I think combing AMC/OLTL in NY with FV as EP and RC and a AMC vet as co-HW.

Take 15 AMC characters and 15 OLTL characters keep then Lanview and PV and have them interact. All though they wouldn't even have to interact that much. It would be much cheaper than going half an hour.

As 4 names how about Mainline?

Absolutely not! I'd rather see AMC canceled tomorrow than handed over to those misogynistic freaks. I can just see RC looking at the characters on AMC:

RC: How many of these women are strippers, hookers or porn stars?

Lowly intern: None.

RC: How many of them have begged a man for sex while mentally incapacitated?

LI: None.

RC: How many have been forcibly raped?

LI: Erica and Bianca. Erica was raped when she was 14 and got pregnant because of it.

RC: Now we're talking!

LI: ...and Bianca is a lesbian.

RC: Raping a lesbian? Wonderful! How many times was she raped?

LI: Ummm, just once.

RC: What?! Did she at least beg for it?

LI: No.

RC: Get me to the writers room! I can't wait to gang bang this lesbian! Then I'll give her DID! I'm so brilliant.

It's not Spring Break everywhere. That's not for another week and change in the California market.
