The promoter Romanivich was the one who complained about the fact that P&G wouldn't sell him characters from GL. But he had no intention of a new "GL" it was to use them

for some time of road show promotion which sounds very tacky IMO. That could be the extent of the "offers" ABC got or they were so low it was a joke or maybe Univision or maybe nothing to try and get fans worked up the day before planned protests.

I'm willing to bet that there's no lawyer involved. If there were he or she would've already said there's no way a judge will certify such a class.

Spread what word? More rumors? More unfounded hope? Either give people some real information or be quiet. This just looks like an attempt to gin up interest in the Emmys. I'm guessing this Romanovich person is The Soap Whisperer. I know it's the end of days in the soapverse but I still hate the fact that all that's left are egomaniacs and people trying to shake people down for a buck.

I have a hard time believing that a real source actually made an offer. Didn't Romanivich make reference on twitter to making and offer for AMC and OLTL and got turned down. For both the show as well as the traveling thing.

His company does not have the money to buy these shows. Maybe he offered the same crap he offerd P&G for GL which would have led to some cheap road show with a few soap actors.

I happen to agree. If multiple offers have been made, tell people who is making them so fans have the chance to get behind them versus the continual negative campaigning against big bad Disney. It's kind of convenient this "rumor" comes out the day before the emmy's.

And for someone who loves daytime so much, Romanivich who is producing them is again focusing less on daytime and more on Vegas schmaltz and Oprah getting her lifetime achievement award and Celine Dion and Marie Osmond performing. And no tribute and I'll bet it has nada to do with the fact they thing AMC and OLTL might get picked up and more to do with losing time they can use to advertise Las Vegas

I can't believe the soaps are getting less attention than Marie Osmond performing. Geez. Nothing against the woman but every time I've seen her for the last 3-4 years I'm afraid she's going to have a complete nervous breakdown live on stage.

Didn't Oprah already get a lifetime achievement award?

I wonder how many care at this point. She's been saying goodbye for five years and finally did say goodbye last month. Then again she will still probably get more viewers than soaps.

I can't believe they aren't going to have anything for AMC or OLTL. People liked to sneer about the P&G soaps as being for old people, but AMC was a touchstone for many throughout the 80's, so there's no real excuse for it to ignored.

Sadly, I think THEY think they're giving AMC and OLTL fans the continued lessening hope that their shows will be "saved" in the final hours. All this "keep hope alive" is just a bunch of BS.

I wonder will the 2012 Daytime Emmy Awards do any sort of tribute for those two departed shows in June 2012, or will they continue to try and keep folks from thinking that ABCD will announce GH's cancellation by that time?

      He'll probably return when whatever is going on between Marco and Lucas hits the rocks.

      So I think I figured based on the end credits who is the script writer for each episode. Thursday's episode looked to have been script written by David Kreizman, and it was a well written episode that flowed well. Today's episode looked to have been script written by Henry Newman (son of Fran Myers and the late Roger Newman).   Right now, I've noticed improvements on the day to day scripts and that's a good sign that eventually the long term outlines that we will see in the coming weeks and months will be good.  Fingers crossed.

      I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

      I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.

      Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol
