I am sure RC and FV will give a great finale. Now there isn't the threat of cancellation and pure panic mode behind the scenes to improve ratings fast with plots and stunts as all of that is over and now they can focus solely on plotting the final months.

AMC won't even get to see another birthday :(

The UK soaps have all faced those very same problems and tackled them head on. No, no show is going to last forever, but when the people in charge are passionate about the shows, what they stand for, what they can do, and what they mean (beyond just being series), they're willing to do what it takes to keep these shows not only alive, not only relevant, but also very true to themselves. I can't guarantee that there would have ever been a way to keep AMC or OLTL (or my beloved ATWT) on the air successfully, but in my heart, as someone who lives, breathes, and is fascinated by the story of life, I believe that there was little to no effort at all given in the name of protecting the well-being of these could-be very special, very unique, and very extraordinary shows.

This is so, so incredibly sad. But at least the shows are in the hands of good writing teams. :(

After "Desperate Housewives" is over, I will never watch a show on ABC again. I am THAT enraged. Not because the soaps weren't going to end sooner or later but because they employed Brian Frons as the head of ABC Daytime, someone who clearly has ZERO respect or interest in the genre and turned GH into a primetime mob show off of Showtime.

    • "You didnt tell me. I was your wife!" Girl, shut up! What is the point of this conversation? You think h was suposed to tell you that your sister's husband was cheating when he was lying to you about his own dirt?
    • I watched yesterday's episode on Paramount+ so today's episode was a repeat for me.

    • Looks like they never removed it as it is still there as of this reply.
    • In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.
    • Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.
    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.
