AMC and OLTL Canceled!

Okay, that is the first response from Robin that made any real sense JMO. It sounds less kissing FV's ass than pointing out his real capability is budget management.

And I love that last line, don't you just love how vindicative we soap fans can be? Heck yeah Robin :-)

[~bl~]

That's one thing soap fans have learned from our characters how revenge can be sweet.

And also that karma can be a real bitch.

Why encourage people to fight a losing battle? Expelling all of this energy when it is completely useless is such a waste of time. The confirmation that you received that OLTL's cancellation was a year in the making would be indicative to accept the inevitable and move on. ABC is sticking to their guns. Hoover's decision to 'aid' soap fans is in no way deterring ABC from their decision and suggests that if more sponsors remove themselves, it will only expedite the cancellation dates.

Hoover pulling out is not something to sneeze at. When I heard this all I thought was, publicity, Hoover pretty much made thier own commercial w/ that one move, and they're pulling out on Friday, so it's not even more than a week after the initial announcement and you have a big brand pulling out, folks this isn't about replacement ads now, this is about a domino effect caused by Brian Frons and Anne Sweeney. What do you think happens if Kellogs or Nestle pulls out next. They get publicity, they get thier brand out w/o a commercial, this will not be the last sponsor to pull out. Now the decision is final by Frons but I so expect more drop outs coming.

Now what would crack me up is if Tampax pulls out.

Surely if they can make a movie about the creation of Facebook they can make a movie about this crazy ass situation.

Wow I missed so much great discussion here had fun reading it though....Loved the Kendall conversation LOL dragonflies, lone AM lovers gotta stick together ;-) LOVE her to death and will really miss seeing her on my screen daily! Seriously! Will follow her whereever she goes but somehow don't see her being on TV again much ever...she seems committed to being in NY with her husband & family. But I'll pray that she'll still do some acting on the side...

Omg SoapBoy, ICAM. I have always wanted to say this somewhere but couldn't decipher how to put it into words LOL. You said it beautifully. I feel the same as well.

Get a load of THIS explosive new report from Deadline:

http://www.deadline.com/2011/04/carrie-disney-moms-among-rejected-ideas-for-soapnet-an-insiders-perspective-on-nets-evolution-abc-soaps-demise/

Basically reaveals how Disney came to decide to shutdown Soapnet & apparantly SoapNet is no longer shutting down and Disney Jr & Soapnet could run for years. The sheer incompetence is insane. Can't wait to see how ABC responds to this report.

Frons and Sweeney have pics of somebody naked at ABC, b/c they would dropped if I were thier superior.

It's starting to turn into a network collapse.

Id like tot hink that had she known, she would have stayed through to the end. Another reasno why it sucks that they didnt give AMC much notice

[wingwalker]

I know! I feel this situation needs to be upgrated to a "gate". SoapGate? FronsGate? DouchebagGate?
