AMC and OLTL Canceled!


Recommended Posts

Maybe that is what the "bombshell" refers to in the Daytime Confidential podcast with Michael Logan. ABC seems done with soaps so it wouldn't be surprising if GH goes in September of 2012.

I don't know about this. Frons seemed pretty adament that GH was safe for now. He'd look like a tool for going back on that. There'd be some PR fallout. And what show would they have lined up to replace it. This all sounds very suspect, though lord knows every other rumor the past month turned out to be true, so who knows anymore. That would really be something else.

Jamey Giddens tweeted that the podcast was taped this afternoon. However, it hasn't been uploaded to the DC site yet. It will probably be up by end of day tomorrow.

If we're speaking strictly from a ratings standpoint,I don't think any of the soaps can make a good case for staying on the air. Ratings are terrible from top to bottom. Some are just less awful than others. If you have a GPA of 0.5 and improve to 0.8 the next year, you're still screwed.

Yes, the GH fans will really go for it. How I feel is TPTB will get theirs too...just a matter of time. That isn't a sense of being mean, but if television has been replaced with some other new technology, like if the Netflix experiment works, the networks as we knew them will be dead.

And with all the unexpected fallout from the AMC & OLTL cancellations, would they really cancel their last remaining soap right on the heels of those cancellations. Like I said, that would be a PR nightmare. Frons would really need to join a witness protection program, like he joked about in one of his interviews. It would be a stunning turn of events if it were true.

    • I totally agree with this, as most of you seem to. Mary Carney was at least competent and reasonably likable; I just feel like she barely had anything of substance to do before she was abruptly given the hook. And I get the backstory of Kathleen Tolan having done a play with Helen Gallagher, but...at any point did they ever actually READ her before they greenlit her? Because...OOF. First time I saw her on SoapNet was right when this GODAWFUL actress named Charity Rahmer played Belle on Days of Our Lives for all of three weeks before she was mercifully recast; her line readings were straight out of a Charlie Brown special. I remember thinking Kathleen Tolan could have played her mother! In the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle, Delia WAS the one who was cheated on, so I got why she was upset and thought it was perfectly valid in theory at least, but of course it was blown up to Wagnerian proportions including falls involving staircases and tricycles. But with Pat/Faith/Delia I had no sympathy for her...especially because it was mainly with Catherine Hicks's Faith and I really liked her.
    • I was going through those episodes from 1984 and early 1985 before they were taken down. Some of the older characters, like Don and even Tom, looked a little out of place, like they were on the wrong show. But the newer characters were fun. It's too bad they lost the character of Melissa. I guess Jennifer took her long-term place on the canvas.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
