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..

      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.

      Knots Landing

        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.

      I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.

      Yassss....come on Maurice and Brandon...give us nothing!!! Wow, their need to develop their craft shone like a blinding light this episode. Brandon in his Martin and Smitty scenes sounded like he was reading and the facial expressions were giving Disney Channel. He did much better against Maurice in the Martin v Ted scenes. Now, Teddd-dyy (Dana's voice) was just flat. I watched the episode just now after reading the comment on here that Maurice needs to stop swaying, and now I can't unsee it. Has it really been this bad all along?  Ambyr carries. I don't need to say anymore. I am kind of excited to see this Kat/Tomas/Eva stuff play out.  Bill is such a dick to Dani. Like that's the mother of your children that you cheated on with your daughter's best friend but you look to take those low blows. Lord! When he said that thing about it being obvious he didn't care about Dani anymore since he was the one that walked out...that was cold. I even felt for Dani. Bill definitely is all over the spectrum. You can see a villain possibly surfacing, but you also see this great father. The elder Duprees move a little funny. I'm wondering what that is all about. Are they just overly protective matriarch and patriarch because they think it's what's best for their family, or are they afraid their secrets will come out or there's something more sinister there. Why would Vernon want to keep that information from Martin?  I hope something interesting comes out of this June stuff, but as of right now, I'm not too invested. It's not helping my interest on Naomi or Jacob either. However, tge actress playing Naomi has comes a long way from day one.
