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

And one other thing, the fact that ABC owns OLTL's studio being a good sign for OLTL??? Please, you know that eventually The View for MEN will be shot there!

Barbara Walters says under breath everyday in the elevator "Don't get too comfy Slezak, Babs has her eyes on your studio, bitch."

I mean The View for Men and The View for Women in the same studio. Its clear.

Its like two people in an accident. One dies at the scene and the other sadly lingers in a coma for a while. Its not good news.

Exactly. Whatever's going on @ ABCD, however this all shakes out, I'm just sad and angry how Brian Frons, in particular, has been allowed to treat his lineup so shabbily.

Did you watch the footage of Erika Slezak's surprise 40th anniversary party at the studio? In a video tribute, ABC managed to get the View ladies to congratulate Erika, and afterward, Slezak said to the crowd....You got Barbara Walters? She doesn't even say hi to us....not that I'm surprised as Babs does come across as cold but its just not nice to not even say hi to your neighbors. For sure, Babs wants OLTL space for The View for Men.

If you people think Barbara Walters is the brains of the operation, pay attention. It's Bill Geddie. Barbara Walters is executive producer in name only. The day to day business of The View is handled by Geddie and Alexandra Cohen. 81 year old Barbara Walters doesn't give a damn about a soundstage or The View for Men. Her main focus is staying relevant with ABC News (and promoting herself). If anybody's getting hot for the Male View, it's Geddie.

I don't know what kind of show they would run, but there is no such thing as a real View for men. Men are not going to talk about the Bachelor unless they are forced to. And nine out of ten won't even have ever seen it.

Next time Erika needs to say, "Well hello ass since the mouth can't speak." I wish she would breeze right past me after I said hello...

Good point. I hadn't thought of it before but that makes sense. I can see his show having a lot of comments about the endangered white man and so on, and the persecution of fathers, let boys be boys - and this will get the show attention.

I think it's something that will end up being a dumb idea for five days a week, but who knows.

If they were going to do this they should have someone like Tim Allen, as he's the only comedian I can remember who managed to transition the let-men-be-men type of thing to TV.

Yeah, because Erika Slezak is so incredibly hood that way. (J/K)

Are there really that many people out there who only watch one or the other?

I wouldn't have thought so, however Daytime Confidential has done its best to promote one over the other time and time again.

Yeah there is a way in hell it will happen. OLTL won't be going anywhere for a few more years at least. They just need to close the coffin lid on AMC and it's officially over. You don't see people talking about a death knell for OLTL.

But they did sound the death knell (albeit not to this extent) about OLTL for a while...

I remember that too. I can't find it now but I remember seeing a magazine article about the future of soaps once ATWT was cancelled with gravemarkers that had ATWT and GL with the year of their "births" and "deaths" and there was OLTL with a grave marker with 1968 to ??? on the top of it. Every online article seemed to talk about One Life's demise.

Speaking of the male version of The View, Dick Clark did a version for two years with Mario Lopez and Dnny Donaduche and it didn't last long. Who would do this one for ABC Media.

That was EW who did that. More of their cute hipness that was original back during the Clinton years.

Soap queen Susan Lucci has a few words of encouragement for fans worried about the fate of ABC’s long-running sudser All My Children. “We’ll see, as long as we have these loyal, passionate fans in our corner,” La Lucci offered Monday on Good Morning America. “And we just received a letter from the vice president in charge of finance congratulating us on what great shape we’re in.”

Also a positive sign that the series is not in any imminent danger: Last Wednesday, AMC executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers told the cast that “[the cancellation] rumors are just rumors.” So, that’s something, right?

Well clearly she's: 1)Lying, 2)Towing party line, 3)was lied too. Cause I mean, it can't possibly be that she's telling the truth.

I think she's going by what she has been told, and it would NOT shock me if ABC was lying. Are that shocked by it? Also last I checked people were entitled to opinions too
