@rickygoldin Hi Ricky, what I am contesting is the notion that it's "malicious" or a "sin" to report on ABC considering cancelling a soap.

@rickygoldin As 4 interviewing u, we'd love 2. We're big fans of urs, but as 4 the state of ABC Daytime, we'd rather here from Brian Frons.

:rolleyes: Sitchass. It's malicious to be a cheesy bastard exploiting people's jobs just so you can be the shiniest Butterball in the freezer.

LOL! This just gets crazier and crazier.

That's a real estate consulting firm.

ROTFLMAO!

If there is nothing I cannot stand more in this world, it is a fat, gay, Black man with a sense of entitlement. And this is coming from one of the same.

Is that what it is? I just attribute it to delusions of grandeur. An unprofessional, poor man's Perez Hilton (ouch!) thinking he's doing journalism that rivals the works of Woodward and Bernstein. His battle cries of "We're reporting what THEY don't want you to know! We're doing this for YOU!" attitude rings false when you have "I know something you don't know, and I'm not gonna tell yooooooou!" as the end result.

But you just know that Frons will try his hardest to get Lucci Budig to move to GH or OLTL. He probably thinks that Erica Kane Greenlee is a bigger entity than AMC in general.

I fixed your post.

international ratings have no bearing on any of this. Sunset Beach did well overseas and it still got canned. Same was true for other soaps. CBS cares what B&B can do for it. High ratings on other networks in other countries mean nothing to them.

That's very true these soaps may do well overseas but if they don't make money for the home network then their gonna be goners and B&B is on those train tracks. This is why B&B is better off syndicating their soap here in the States like they do overseas or in other North America countries like Canada and Mexico. I think Bell should ditch CBS for a syndicated suitor if there's one out there if not take your chances with CBS.

DAYS is so cheap for NBC that I can't see them getting rid of it unless the ratings are super low. They've maintained a stead audience and even built it at one point ever since the January 2007 threat that the soap would be gone for sure by 2009 and it never happened. DAYS and Y&R do very well online and I see media online starting to make money there so this could change the game in the future. Even YouTube has added annoying ads before videos which will be a game changer.

GH is ABC's darling so it'll be the last to go but OLTL & AMC are the two vulnerable ones so we'll see how it goes with them.

What a nice read from the creator of The Bay. DON'T YOU BE ANGLING FOR THAT 1PM TIMESLOT THOUGH!

S'okay, he can haz it. That's OLTL's time slot on this coast.

I find the entire concept of "soap opera news and critique" utterly fascinating. The fact that it all boils down to a bunch of fans with titles who are bitchy bloggers or lucky enough to have their own magazines, by the grace of GOD salaried or blissfully entitled and unpaid, the fact that "hard news" goes unreported but dangled over fans' heads instead so "reporters" can delight themselves in "I know something youuuu don't" or pad their nests to prove that they knew all along when the news finally hits but thy were too afraid to tell it because they might lose their moles... I mean, soap opera "NEWS" is tabloid journalism's pimple faced bucktoothed little cousin sippin' on a Big Gulp. Somewhere, somebody bigger and more important should be looking down on soaps and laughing. Hard. But we fans can handle that ourselves.

Oh right, Mr. G Martin, if you'd like the 2pm ET/1pm PT time slot to bring The Bay to TV, it's wide open.

Bring it. You know OLTL would not be trending on Yahoo. I kid, I kid. I want all soaps to survive. But mine has to at least outlast that bastard red head in the corner.

BAM! Nice one!

And just like that, I'm ready to have RPG's babies like its 2003.

Ewwwwwwww.....RPG is gross!!

Holy moses! RPG better cut that floppy hair if he wants to fight. Jamey strikes me as a hair puller.

Man I'm loving all this craziness. It's just so country/ghetto.

:lol:

I'm not scared, I'll go all RPG on the OLTL fans. LOl All in good fun. If I ever got what I wanted, AMC/OLTL/GH (yes GH) would be the last three standing. I don't want any of them to go.
