AMC and OLTL Canceled!


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I was shocked by the news, but in all honesty not really because the state of soaps as a genre is dying. Its just a matter of time before they are all gone, just because your still here today doesn't mean you won't be gone tomorrow. As long as Susan Lucci gets another gig I'm okay with the cancellation, and I do feel bad for all the cast and crew of both shows.

That would signal Erica dying or sick or JR getting married. B/c why would Adam/Brooke return?

From Tyler Christoper LOL

My opinion of oltl and amc being canceled is...ABC farted then panicked when a little poop came out

From Kyle Louder:

To the fans of DAYS, GH, B&B, and Y&R, rally together and support your respective shows in any way that you can. This genre is too special.

Erica won't be killed off. She and Jack will reunite to live happily ever after. I could definitely see them getting Ray MacDonnell, Lee Meriwether, Barr and Canary back for the finale. I'd get on my knees and praise god if they could give even a slight nod to the Tyler family, just a remembrance that they helped to carry the show the first decade. I can't even imagine how sad it must be at the studios today.

I'm still in shock. It hasn't even really settled in yet. To quote one of the great cliche lines of soap dialogue, "I can't believe this is happening."

Oh damn! Get him, Cat! :D I really want Susan Lucci to say something like this. [!@#$%^&*] company policy, honey, they just made you look like a fool a dozen times over.

I haven't cried yet. But I'm sure I will. I feel like a part of me died. That might sound sad, but I've known AMC and Erica Kane since I was 8 years old. I grew up with the show. Every part of my life, has had AMC in it. It's just hard to imagine it being gone in 6 months. :(

And OLTL, well, I was wondering about the staggering a few months ago, so I'm not surprised. I have to mourn AMC before I can even think about OLTL.

I've been on Twitter for a while, so I feel kind of speechless. I'm a bit numb to this news because I grew up watching soaps. I started watching when I was in 8th grade, and I haven't missed one episode. I'm graduating from college at the end of the year, so this is particularly sentimental to me. How could ABC do this? Two at once? Is Brian Frons throwing some office party as we speak? Is he toasting his brilliance with a bunch of other executives? Is he happy with his decision?

THE CHEW? It's pathetic. It's sad, and I hope NOBODY watches these disgusting replacement shows. It's wrong. My heart is shattered. Soap fans do not deserve this. I'm finding it tough to watch One Life to Live as I type this, I don't know if I can watch without my heart breaking, thinking of the last 40 years on air, the cast and crew who have lost their jobs, etc..

    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer. 
    • I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.
    • That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
