AMC and OLTL Canceled!

[reallyhateskateonlost]

Pitaful. Arrest 15 people who are protesting soaps. Frons is having the last laugh.

I'll be honest, I love this kind of melodrama and I do want the soaps saved, plus, it's a gorgeous day so it would have been nice to be out. If the drive into LA wasn't such a nightmare, I would have a least made it 16. I braved that traffic for Susan Lucci...and even she was pushing it.

Example of LA fickleness.

A big article in TV Guide about Why ABC lost hope for it's soaps. It's too long to sum up

For Kylie there's a beautiful pic of Erica in a blue dress, but her legs are tied to a chair

[Kylie]

Oooo, hot! Me likey. I'd almost buy it just for a good pic of her. LOL

[dragonflies]

She looks effing gorgeous, the dress is beautiful. It's from the kidnap story. I wish I could scan it LOL

[dragonflies]

Here's the article, different pics though than the mag. The mag has a pic of Erica and a pic of Nat & Viki from OLTL

I haven't commented since the announcement was made that ABC was canceling AMC and OLTL. I am truly devastated that we are losing more soaps. What makes this even more painful is AMC and OLTL didn't deserve to be canceled. All the information that has come to light how ABC has been so mismanaged by Brian Frons only angers me more. I thought Susan Lee was the devil in disguise when she was the head of NBC daytime but Brian Frons truly has her beat. Since he arrived at ABC he has canceled Port Charles, All My Children and One Life to Live. SoapNet has also been run into the ground under his watch. This is unacceptable to me. I read through this thread everyday and it sickens me more and more. I am no longer going to watch ABC daytime and I will turn all of my soap viewing to Bold & Beautiful, a show I have watched from the beginning. If and when that one goes that will be when my soap viewing ceases. This is truly a sad time for television and viewers of the soaps.

HA! That pathetic "protest" will be nothing like my ''Super Triple-Slap Hair Toss Erica Kane Mega Bitch Protest''. We're gonna make international news, y'all.

Some people still haven't chosen their looks, though.

reallyhateskateonlost, I suggest you go as Erica's nun on the run look.

[marceline]

Wait, did they actually arrest people?

[dragonflies]

Not really cancellation related, but wow:

Hey! One of "the Hursleys' daughters" is Bridget Dobson!

No. It's not.

[Marco Dane]

It just gets better and better

[SFK]

Gee I wonder how she's felt all these years with JFP at the helm of her parents' show.
