Gray Bunny I agree with pretty much everything you said. Wow!

I do not blame AMC for the cancellation of OLTL. I blame TIIC. There are AMC fans who are incredibly angry and hating on Oprah too, it isn't just the OLTL viewers. I wasn't at all upset over who Oprah put on her show about soap operas. This wasn't Oprah highlights the Daytime Emmys (like Phil Donahue used to do with the nominees the week of the broadcast) and they didn't include or mention Erika Slezak who has the most Daytime Emmys of any female actress or didn't include Justin Deas (who has the same number--6). That would have been annoying.

So now there are rumors of AMC and OLTL being bought by Sony for $200 million and being sent to NBC. They were saying both shows are still profitable and Sony is going to actively syndicate them internationally and the costs could be recouped in two years.

*Sigh* It is too good to be true, not even going to get my hopes up. :(

Going back to this from Soaptown

I really don't get WTF people want Lucci (or any of these actors) to do, cry on camera? Have a nervous breakdown on Oprah? Yeah it sucks that they were canceled and people are losing jobs, but the life of an actor doesn't guarantee job security anyway. Every single person who goes into acting knows this and for some of them to have careers as long as they have had makes them extremely lucky and one of few.

I'm so tired of the this dumbass idea that if everyone isn't ranting or raving incessantly like Strasser and Hickland, they don't care or they wanted the shows to be canceled.

I think SL has more class in her little finger than Robin Strasser, at least when it's come to this. RS is burning bridges left and right. Susan knows what her future is and that she can make it or break it. I'll be watching her next venture, don't know that I believe RS will have one.

Word it is to good to be true but I guess we shall see how it all plays out.

Remember though NBC seriously as a network, a show can have BAD ratings and still get renewed. Just look at their prime time lineup. Weak ratings but they still get renewed.

Yeah. Apparently this whole thing about them recruiting actors is to get the most popular/fan faves contracted with Sony before they move ahead with the deal. I am really hoping this happens, it sounds believable but there are plenty of people with no lives who love to stir [!@#$%^&*] up for no reason.

None of this is coming from any reliable site, however. The only reliable site that reported anything about this was Deadline saying that there were some rumblings that NBC was interested in OLTL as a companion for DAYS, but that financially, it was unlikely.

Nothing was mentioned about AMC.

RS didn't say anything about Susan, but that article sure seemed to be painting RS is a good light and SL in a bad light.

I was almost burnt at the cyber stake for saying this at another site, but what the hell: I don't like the idea of AMC on NBC and don't know that it's something I can honestly say I want. As for OLTL, it and Days are becoming two pees in a pod (that's not a knock on Days, it's just not my cup of tea anymore). They can haz each other.

      Vanessa told Joey that her best friend had cheated and has a surprise daughter.  Joey said the same had happened to him.  I wasn't sure if Joey was saying he has an adult out-of-wedlock child?

      Interesting. I definitely think that it's possible that Jan could be a former lover of Joey's from back in the day, maybe back when he was still married. I won't be surprised if it comes out at some point that Jan used to be an escort or something.

      Quick question, How are you guys making time to watch all these soaps? I consider myself a pretty organized person, but since I have committed to watching more of the older soaps. I feel all over the place, and can not figure out a schedule that seems to work.  How are you all doing it?   Thanks. I will check that out.

      Oh, poor Henry had to wait for the grave to finally come "out"! The whole things was McTavish plot dictated so that Hart could have money to pull off his scam of Roger later. The fortune is totally forgotten later. Which reminds me WHY did they fire Hilliard who actually could kinda pass for a midwestern farm boy..from JOISEY Grillo? AM and Lucy's wedding has got to be the weirdest wedding up to that point and really exemplified the McLaiby cheesy run. Universal Studios? And the Spauldings shut the place down for the wedding that only involves 6 people??? Its not even that weird that Bridget and David arent there...they didn't even invite AM's Mom or Grandfather...

      TBH, I found Felicity's dialogue in those scenes where she encouraged Chad and Cat to admit their feelings for one another more offensive than Xander yelling (although both are bad).  And, I don't get why there is any question of Xander's behavior being offensive, given that he knew that Felicity deserved an apology.  A customer openly expressing anger at a service employee in public is awful, regardless of circumstance. I like giving the character more to do, because there is a value in representing a person with a congenital disorder being employed, given that the unemployment rate in that community tops 83%.  I just hope they find a voice for the character that matches her functioning ability.  As for Cat, I wonder if she is going to inherit any of Clyde's money?  And that was the reason for the phone call.  I know he's not dead, but he could have named her family as the beneficiary of some insurance policy if he were to be incapacitated.  And the call could have been an attorney trying to reach her to give her money.

      He is a 40 year old large grown man "raising his voice" and calling a teenage girl "careless".  That's inappropriate.  I am not going to argue at the octave of his voice although I would consider it yelling.  Felicity was visibly upset.  She also has special needs, but it would be wrong to do that to anyone in general.  Xander was out of line.  He didn't immediately apologize or admit he was wrong until Princess Sarah was okay.  Idk, go find your wife's epipen instead of berating a young girl.  Or, you know, Sarah could have asked if there was any pistachio in her scone as a pre-caution.  That's how most people with allergies that severe order things. I do think this story or plot point is silly, but acting like Xander did nothing wrong is just strange.  Even if Felicity DID do something wrong was he just going to continue to go on and on while his wife was going into shock?  That's the proper reaction lol.

      I didn't get that so far so I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever pick back up.  I must have chosen bad episodes because what I saw had some really bad Irish accents from supporting/day players. They were hard to get through and I just didn't have the patience to deal with them. I don't think these accents would be allowed to go through today. I assume these accents were ironed out as the show went on--reminded me of Deas's terrible accent on GL that was dropped because it was so bad.
