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

Come on Mr.Lewis who's gonna pay any mind to that woman after the David stuff. She lies alot!

You honestly think those are reasons people have tuned out for? This isn't 2005, there's not such thing as "the Careys" anymore.

Yes b/c they still dominate storylines. Look over this past few yrs. 3 characters JR, Tad, David. Now see Marissa and Krystal everytime in thier stories. That's only part of it, then there's Rylee.

Actors should be telling fans to watch the darn show not make a DARN phonecall!

I thinking actors were told AMC is safe for now but ratings need to go up!

that's my guess it is safe until years end and after May sweeps they will make a decision, talk show or AMC

No offense, but this is incoherent to me. First "the Careys," Caleb, Asher, and Marissa, then Tad, JR, David, Ryan, and Greenlee...what are you trying to say about those characters?

I'm trying to say how they don't mesh w/ them. The Careys/Marissa and Caleb and Asher ruin these characters. Fans don't like them. Rylee is the same effect.

I dunno, she might have "lied" but anyone who paid attention knew VI wasn't done. This last time was totally different then the last time he got fired. I still think it was more something storyline (VI needing personal time, as well) dictated and people played along.

It's a lot different to stand before people and lie to their faces about their livelihood. Which if she did, she's as bad as Frons and ABC.

ALL ABC needs to do is say "AMC is safe for now but thee ratings need to go up."

Where'd you read this at?

If anyone ever expects to hear that, they don't know PR 101. Should any soap ever be cancelled in the next few months, few years, no network executive will say anything about the shows performance which caused the decision. They will always say "after ___ years on the air, _____ will end on _____. _____ is known for telling ____. The show was created by _____ after ____ felt the need to showcase ____. ____ was the _____ rated show on TV. In its ____ years on the air ___ will have earned ____ Emmy Awards."

________ ________ _________

I was going to post the same thing. Who would make that statement?

For the record, I'll be happy but if they get a reprieve they better do everything possible to fix this mess. Dodging the bullet just to go back to the current mediocrity is unacceptable. If they survive they better come out swinging. If they want me to support this show, then give me something to support.

But I still think they're history.

Sadly if they get a repreive they'll blow that too. This show has had so many chances to fix their mistakes and never do

Where there is smoke there is fire. Again why is it that ABC isn't releasing a statement to recant these rumors? why are the actors telling us to call the ABC hotline?

I was thinking that too and DV's tweet seemed like it had a sense of urgency

Now about ABC just saying AMC is not going anywhere! Not talk about rumors but say AMC is Safe!

I love blaming characters and stories for the ratings as much as anyone but if they've really dodged the bullet, the first thing they need to do is get a new EP to get the budget under control. The budget has apparently been a problem for a long time. Fix it. New EP, then new writers.

I hate Rylee too (so, so much) but they are just a symptom of rampant mismanagement. THAT's what needs to be fixed.

Nothing's gonna change unless there's a changing of the guard

AMC is not being cancelled . But now is a great time to let the network know you'd like to keep it that way. Thanks for all the support!!

If it's not being cancelled why is Bobbie pleading with the audience to way in......lol

I get the feeling some of you guys are going to be disappointed if it's revealed AMC has made it into the 2011-2012 season. You vultures

Universal paycuts is something that has happened on every single daytime set. SL wasn't the only star to take a paycut on AMC. Every actor can be released at the end of a 13 week cycle. What's your source for the claim that CS, VI, and DM are on some different contract cycle than everybody else? CS and AMC may have a weird relationship, but otherwise...

LOL...the ratings are still going to be awful and the demos even worse. AMC is going to be GL all over again.
