Oh I see what you're saying. I checked OLTL's and theirs says "Monday, March 28" LOL. I think it might just be a mistake by ABC or maybe AMC & GH just really aren't airing that day for some reasonph34r.gif

^Oh okay, I was like, "What holiday did I not know what was coming?" LOL I'm sure it's just a mistake.

I heard that Bill Clyde Tuggle is returning and he will be revealed to be Erica's real father. Since Erica is only 40, it will definitely make sense. And word on the street is that a certain writer is leaving Days and will be announced as AMC's new headwriter next week.

Here is a hint:

D-NA H-GLEY !!!!

Things are looking up at AMC!

I just came from a Knicks game w/ my friends :jeal0002: , who are you and what is your source?

Given AMC's demos, I'd say a majority of people have been watching for a very very long time LOL. I'd wish they throw long-time fans like me a bone once in a while. I've been watching AMC since 1976, and it would be nice to see some long-term history recognized once in a while. McTavish, for as warped as she is, did try to do that with the unabortion story. In that case, use of history was better left avoided, of course. There are intelligent ways of dredging up history. Except for Jesse and Angie, none of the subsequent writers have even acknowledged the long-term history. Ah, maybe I'm just living in the past. I still miss the Tylers :)

As Jonathan said, rebuilding the Cortlands is a win/win. You feed into the history long time fans love from soaps, and yet the new characters can still be introduced freshly, so it doesn't affect the (few) new viewers...

On the subject of rebuilding the show, I wouldn't build up the Cortlandts. Without Palmer, they just seem unnecessary.

Rebuilding the Cortlandts wouldn't be hard.

Peter Simon as Ross, Cynthia Preston as Julie, Daniel Kennedy as Petey & Christian Campbell as Bobby on contract with Taylor Miller & Gillian Spencer recurring.

That's in addition to a back from the dead Dixie, Opal & SORASED Sam Grey.

Sam's a two-for-one because he can help rebuild the Martins as well. Would they need to SORAS him, though? He was like 16-17 when we last saw him in '05, so now he'd be just the age to get in there and bounce Ash Ketchum out on his oh, so spankable ass.

CD, how much beer did you have at the game?

Can't drink more than one. I had none tonight, but my friends, oh boy did they need it. NY really hates that coach.

With all due respect, it truly amazes me how gullible so many people were to believe that AMC would be cancelled before OLTL (just because some internet publication published a rumor); there's no way in hell this will ever happen. Yes, I realize that the fair thing to do would be to axe AMC first, given that OLTL has less budget problems and is probably more profitable than AMC. However, life is very unfair, and AMC will outlast OLTL for two reasons: the name/brand recognition factor, and the fact that ABC executives decided to move AMC--but not OLTL--to Los Angeles. (The Los Angeles move virtually guarantees that AMC will remain on the air for quite some time; to cancel AMC so quickly after the move would be the equivalent of flushing tons of money down the toilet and would make the ABC executives look like idiots.)

Honestly, how can anyone take internet rumors seriously when just last year it was rumored that DOOL would be cancelled, but instead received a three year extension (with an option for a fourth year)? I didn't say anything at the time (because I didn't want to dampen the celebratory mood that DOOL fans felt upon hearing that news), but I was absolutely livid upon hearing that news. Talk about being grossly unfair: DOOL gets a three/four year extension for garnering ratings that were only slightly higher than what ATWT had. Now, I certainly could have understood a one year renewal, but a multi-year renewal was just "bleeping" ridiculous. (Even Ken Corday said that a one-year renewal was the best he expected in his wildest dreams.) I'd like to see a rabid DOOL fan try to justify the three/four renewal that soap got last year, because I don't believe such a justification is possible.

One person's gullibility is another's denial and there's plenty of both going around.
