I agree, while I'm sure ABC would want to make an offer, I doubt she will agree to an ABC network show, the rumor also says she is likely to pair up with former TODAY and NBC exec Jeff Zucker for such a project, its more likely going to be a syndicated show.

As for why we haven't heard anything about AMC and OLTL.... now rumors are out there that some of the projects ABC is considering are

falling apart and the ones they have left aren't that good so thats good news for the soaps, although the timeframe to announce a new

show for Sept and a soap cancellation is still a possibility so the danger is still there, after these latest rumors of the proposed shows

falling apart I see less to no chance 2 soaps would be cancelled this year as they don't seem to have 2 good shows to replace them with, so if there is a cancellation probably only one soap would go.

From SOD

Florencia Lozano (Téa) on Cancellation Rumors: At her fan event in NYC on April 9, OLTL's Lozano told us she's not too worried about those rumors: "We're on a soap opera so rumors are like always around. They're always part of every work place. I have to just sort of laugh and none of us have any control over any of it, so to get upset about it seems like a waste of energy. To have an opinion about it seems futile."

A possibility, although if they don't have a good replacement for Sept, they don't have much time to get one for December. So I'm a bit more optomistic that the soaps are safe until next year. Now on the otherhand.... this is all relative to the descriptions of the rumors these replacements aren't too good, who's opinion is that? They could be pure garbage, and probably are, but if Frons likes them and ABC wants to cancel a soap then the garbage is fine for them to replace a soap with. I want to think the soaps are safe for another year, although until we get through the next month I wouldn't bet any money on it.

I doubt that anyone standing in line to talk to Susan Lucci would say that they thought Susan was either being lied to or lying herself about the cancellation issue.

ABC:SID is pretty much screwed if AMC and OLTL are off the air. So they should be campaigning. Doing a twice monthly publication on one currently running soap and then stories about alumni of deceased soaps...the CBS:SID they rolled Days into it. If there are only 5 shows...the magazine staff may suffer and/or lose jobs.

That's way beyond what I was saying. I just heard people saying, "I heard the show was being cancelled. But she said it's not" then there were a lot of, "Yeah me too. Good." That's it. People weren't saying she was lying to or being lied too, they just seemed to think she said and she meant it. I honestly don't think people outside of the message boards go to the places we've gone to with all of this. That it has to be a big conspiracy. I think they take it as face value. ie. The show told Susan that it's safe. Susan told the fans.

No more. No less.

      I do think Zane could have been a decent long-term addition if they hadn't disposed of him - up to Lucas' arrival, at least.

      If he was responsible for Egyptian dust, you should have led with that! That one thing cinches it for me.

      I would consider recasting Nikolas again just for the sake of those around him, but you may be right.

      Watched Mondays episode, wow! That’s all I have to say. It was heartbreaking to watch. You really don’t know how invested you are in these characters until moments like this. Deidre was absolutely phenomenal in that whole episode, as I am sure she will be in the coming weeks. I was a bit torn about having Bo and Hope being the contrast in this episode, but I understand why they did it. And when Bo woke up and said fancy face to Hope, it broke me even more! Honestly, there are no more words except bravo to everyone involved and RIP to the greatest hero that ever existed in soaps John Black

      Watching this longer clip I truly am impressed with the effects but also the direction - the moments of fear in the ballroom before the blast are wonderful. What I appreciate most here is the lack of a montage and the lack of aggressive editing.  This all looks better than quite a bit you could find elsewhere at the time, let alone now. Julia should have avoided weddings.

      I hope somewhere in the fictional universe, Sami called Vivian to tell her about John. They just shared an Uber to the airport, so I assume they have each other's contact info (no matter the universe, they both probably only have 3

      ).  And, Vivian always treated John like a nephew.

      That final scene of Marlena playing John’s voicemail over and over again really got to me

      -- Tamara Tunie was good today, but can we hold back on handing out Emmys? I'm not seeing that yet. -- So Anita has Barbara's entire letter committed to memory, yet it took her DECADES to reach out to Tracy and Sharon? Uh....ok. I don't get the impression that THE DUPREES spent a lot of time thinking about the little people. -- We again heard "Articulettes Strong," this time in the letter. Make it stop already. -- I'll wait and see on this "Anita's Sin" story. My bottom line is that it's unfair to point blame when someone takes his/her own life. -- I thought Tomas looked fine af in that suit today, and that the fit was perfect. -- Why is Basic Ashley kissing her boyfriend while at work in the hospital? I find that inappropriate and ridiculous. Ashley still doesn't act like someone in love. -- The 3-way conversation among Ashley, Derek, and Andre was awkward as hell. -- Hayley was embarrassing for taking her pregnancy test to Dani's. Dani is embarrassing to harp on it. These two need to stay away from each other. -- Dani treats Andre like crap. What he sees in her beyond the physical, I have no idea. No way is either of these two in love. -- Also clueless? Bill and Hayley for thinking Naomi would love hearing about the pregnancy.
