ABC May Be Ready To Trim Its Daytime Drama Lineup: Will 'All My Children' Go?

ATWT cancellation was announced during April...close to April Fools Day....

It was announced in December.

The ratings between AMC and OLTL are so close. AMC has MORE viewers. The only thing I will believe if AMC is cancelled, is that this "focus group" rumor may have some validity, and that OLTL did very well. Granted, the 18-49 demo difference of 100,000 viewers is sizeable but not anything jaw dropping. They need to just make the announcement. It quite a sad thing.

Wrong!

5. OLTL 2,355,000 (-36,000/-71,000)

6. AMC 2,318,000 (+69,000/-242,000)

Has to be Kreizman. Hayes and JHB have to be set for retirement. And I would hope that after spending pretty much 2 decades at AMC Beldner wouldn't make such a crass comment.

I think it's Kreizman too. Kreizman worked with David Rupel at GL, and Rupel is now the showrunner/EP of The Real Housewives. Rupel also brought along former GL writer Brett Steinart and GL producer Brett Cullen. Would not be surprised if Kreizman went to work for Rupel after AMC ends.

Was it GL then??

I think they might just see the way AMC is trending and the writing on the wall. This is a sad thread.

Yep it was announced right on April Fools Day.

I think we all need to just hear something from ABC so we can all move on with our lives. I hate it when ABC plays games like this.

Oh ok..I knew it was one of them.

Well, okay. LOL. And the YTD negative is pretty bad. But there have been recent weeks where OLTL has the lowest viewership numbers.

Come on now. Frons has to finish watching today's GH before he can bother with press release statements and driving over to the Andrita studios and putting cast and crew out of their misery.

He probably wants to hang with Maurice and Steve for a bit too.

LMAO, well GH has been over for a few hours now, and he should just bring Mo and Steve with him. Never miss the chance to pimp GH.

Yes but AMC has been having the lower demos....a 0.7?? ATWT and GL went there and look where they are now.

That would be so hilariously sick. "Hey guys, me and my bros came by to rap with you!" Meanwhile, Benard and Burton glower like usual while also looking distinctly uncomfortable.

Kriezman was a mess at GL and flat at ATWT (and he junked what could have been a good family story for the Hughes in favor of hyping his pal Tom Pelphrey's new adventures in dramatic screaming). It's kind of sad that he keeps getting jobs - I don't even know what you would "write" at Real Housewives.

For some reason Im kind of zen about the possibility about AMC ending. I would like the show to go on to the point where AJ and Miranda have their big wedding but if it is the shows times it's the shows time.

"Sorry guys your show is getting the axe but look who I brought with me! (A curtain is pulled up and MB abd SB are standing around looking awkward)
