FYI. I live in a mobile home park and I hate DAYS. Thanks for the laugh though.

Sigh, I don't want to tell people to give up hope, but I don't know how I honestly feel about actors of the cancelled shows telling fans to write and call because they want to keep the soaps on the air. Umm, I get that people want to keep their jobs, but I feel like no amount of calling, ranting or raving is going to change things - and I think the actors know that.

Nothing will be changed.

Listen, my antipathy toward KdP has nothing to do w/ OLTL, and OLTL has nothing to do w/ my antipathy toward KdP. This goes way the hell back to GUIDING LIGHT, where she annoyed the crap out of me played Chelsea "What Southern Accent?" Reardon from 1987 to 1991. Girl was awful to watch then, and not much has changed about her since.

She's basically been OLTL's main female lead for 15 years and only managed to snag ONE emmy nomination in a year where I think 7 people were nominated in the category. I think that says it all. Kassie DePaiva is kind of like Alicia Minshew. More than adequate for daytime, but as a supporting player.

Best part? "I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING!" :-D

A part of me wonders if Hoover was going to end their ads anyway and this is PR...but still, it's a surprise. I had read before that advertisers prefer soaps to the filler programs the networks are now churning out - if so then this might be the first sign.

I remember reading similar stories how daytime advertisers prefer soaps, and with the 100's and 100's of cable channel daytime programming they certainly have a lot of non soap choices, but they prefer soaps as the best way to show their products to a target audience.

The P&G soaps had an older audience so a reaction like this didnt happen because those soaps were getting low demos in their target audience, and also maybe P&G limited advertisers due to their ownership, but the ABC demos are exactly what advertisers WANT!

It may also be this big reaction is due to the fact the genre is dying out, and the dual cancellations may have been the wake-up call for companies to take notice and they realize if they dont take a stand too, their prefered genre to advertise in will disappear.

Timely as always!

Khan, I'm just taking the piss. We completely disagree but I'm not going to scalp you over it.

Listen mister, if you go back through this thread, you'll see I said the same thing. How are you and I supposed to be Good Cop/Bad Cop (or in reality Good Cop/Bitter Soap Hating Bitch) if we are equally cynical? How, I ask you? HOW?

Consider it this way, even this "OLTL deserves another year" rah rah cheerleader is feeling very cynical about soap fans' hopes being falsely raised here.

I F'LOVE that pic of VM laughing in the corner, it's hilarious lol!

LOL...I bet she will be on the cover that announces the shows are cancelled

Yes, I imagine trailer parks nationwide will have riots.

DAYS has always been big in rural areas and the South and Midwest (excluding Chicago), while the ABC shows were big in urban areas, and the Northeast and West.

LOL

Thats for sure, during the OJ trial soap preemptions NBC's headquarters in NYC was always getting evacuated for bomb threats!

I think that says it all for DAYS fans! lol

Win.

But did she torture you with her country ditties on GL? If not, then we OLTLers got it far worse, Khan, far far worse. I dread the quarterly KDP cauterwauling.

Timely as always!

I can't explain it. There are actors - plenty of actors - who always get me riled up whenever they're on-screen. Kassie's one of them.

Of course, much of the writing for Blair over the years hasn't done her any favors....

LMFAO Cheap

Uh Adam that means what? What says it all? Cause Emmy's are the be all? Aren't you one of the ones who say Emmy's don't mean much cause people like Natalia Livingston won one?

No offense Adam, but this was a bit silly
