AMC and OLTL Canceled!


Recommended Posts

I was shocked by the news, but in all honesty not really because the state of soaps as a genre is dying. Its just a matter of time before they are all gone, just because your still here today doesn't mean you won't be gone tomorrow. As long as Susan Lucci gets another gig I'm okay with the cancellation, and I do feel bad for all the cast and crew of both shows.

That would signal Erica dying or sick or JR getting married. B/c why would Adam/Brooke return?

From Tyler Christoper LOL

My opinion of oltl and amc being canceled is...ABC farted then panicked when a little poop came out

From Kyle Louder:

To the fans of DAYS, GH, B&B, and Y&R, rally together and support your respective shows in any way that you can. This genre is too special.

Erica won't be killed off. She and Jack will reunite to live happily ever after. I could definitely see them getting Ray MacDonnell, Lee Meriwether, Barr and Canary back for the finale. I'd get on my knees and praise god if they could give even a slight nod to the Tyler family, just a remembrance that they helped to carry the show the first decade. I can't even imagine how sad it must be at the studios today.

I'm still in shock. It hasn't even really settled in yet. To quote one of the great cliche lines of soap dialogue, "I can't believe this is happening."

Oh damn! Get him, Cat! :D I really want Susan Lucci to say something like this. [!@#$%^&*] company policy, honey, they just made you look like a fool a dozen times over.

I haven't cried yet. But I'm sure I will. I feel like a part of me died. That might sound sad, but I've known AMC and Erica Kane since I was 8 years old. I grew up with the show. Every part of my life, has had AMC in it. It's just hard to imagine it being gone in 6 months. :(

And OLTL, well, I was wondering about the staggering a few months ago, so I'm not surprised. I have to mourn AMC before I can even think about OLTL.

I've been on Twitter for a while, so I feel kind of speechless. I'm a bit numb to this news because I grew up watching soaps. I started watching when I was in 8th grade, and I haven't missed one episode. I'm graduating from college at the end of the year, so this is particularly sentimental to me. How could ABC do this? Two at once? Is Brian Frons throwing some office party as we speak? Is he toasting his brilliance with a bunch of other executives? Is he happy with his decision?

THE CHEW? It's pathetic. It's sad, and I hope NOBODY watches these disgusting replacement shows. It's wrong. My heart is shattered. Soap fans do not deserve this. I'm finding it tough to watch One Life to Live as I type this, I don't know if I can watch without my heart breaking, thinking of the last 40 years on air, the cast and crew who have lost their jobs, etc..

    • In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.
    • Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.
    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

    • Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc. 
    • I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.
