Members Khan Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 Like I always say, you can get away with being a diva if you have the goods to back it up. Robin Strasser has the goods. Why coddle a child and "reward" him for irresponsible behavior? He wanted to be a professional, he should have come prepared like a professional, and it should have been up to his mother to see to it, too. If it had been my mother, she would have taken me home immediately and said, "You're not going back on any set until you show me you're mature enough to handle it!"

Members quartermainefan Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 I think all soap fans should care about the death of a soap because today it is your soap, tomorrow it is mine. That said, to recruit GH fans would just lead to counter productive rants to sponsors demanding not that the shows should just air, but that head writers should be fired, and Jason Morgan should become a father as proof of quality.

Members Soapsuds Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 I wish soap fans would have cared this much when GL and ATWT was canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 I think there was some interest when GL went but a lot of that was mocked - it seemed like with ATWT there was more apathy. It's too bad. I guess it's because the P&G soaps were stranded. I think most GH fans would avoid that - most of the fans probably don't even care about who the head writer is. I think there's a way to keep it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 Exactly. The replacmeent shows are already in pre-production. ABC isn't going to waste a sh!tload of money on pre-production, only to revert their cancellation decisions. While I admire the fans and Hoovers commitment, it's simply a case of too little, too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 I think as others have pointed out, OLTL and AMC represent the modern era of daytime drama and were cultural fixtures in the 70's 80's and good part of the 90's. Post mid 1970's both ATWT and GL never really had that. GH I think will generate even more when it goes due to the whole Luke and Laura nostalgia.

Members quartermainefan Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 First they came for Passions and I didn't speak out because I wasn't 12 Then they came for GL and I didn't speak out because I wasn't 72... so on and so forth. I did care about those soaps being canceled and I don't think I had ever seen a full episode before Nuke. I guess most people are indifferent if it isn't their soap, which sucks.

Members All My Shadows Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 It truly cracks me up the way Hoover's gotten involved with this. They can so use this for a new ad campaign.
