I'm really hoping susan lucci goes to y&r. Its been a dream of mine for years to put erica kane with victor newman.

I agree, I never understood myogynistic writing when the MAJORITY of soap viewers were women.

ABC soaps seemed to want casual viewers. I also think focus groups were the death of soaps too

Chris Jericho has excellent taste. Of all the soap couples I ever saw, Greg and Jenny towers above them all. They were the perfect soap couple.

So many unexpected people watch soaps and most of them watched AMC and OLTL over the years. I know this hurt a lot of celebrities like that today.

ABC fucked with the wrong fans...

I agree, the forums are super packed especially every hour when people who come home from work get on, a lot more packed than they were for GL and ATWT cancellations.

A lot of people are claiming this to be the worst cancellation in the history of television. I always felt like ABC's soaps were the heart and soul of the network's fanbase and now to lose them this network is on borrowed time I'd give them 10-20 years before they have to cancel themselves and it will go back to these two cancellations here in 2011.

ABC is lucky they didn't get rid of GH b/c all hell would've broken loose. I was actually hoping GH went with them so the hatchett could really come down on ABC.

sad news to hear! I wish the stars and crew of both shows the best of Luck. It would have been too see the two shows combined but we would they live? Pine Valley? Llanview? Corinth?

ABC fucked with the wrong fans...

I remember posters saying that ABC wouldnt [!@#$%^&*] with the fanbases...again...yeah right...they didnt care.

Yeah that was the name of it, I've watched telenovelas in the past but the only problem was I needed an English button but they never made one like they did with SAP. LOL!

I wish those soaps were presented in English and I wish those ones produced overseas from countries like England and Australia would be syndicated here. I would start moving my soap viewing to those kind of soaps and abandon the American ones completely.

Eva Luna made the top 10(of all time) in total viewers for a finale.

ABC fucked with the wrong fans...

I hope this gets LOTS of backlash.

LOL this tweet:

@Jamey_Giddens RT @mindschmootz So, from what I hear, ABC Daytime will soon have The View and The Chew? That's a lot of ew.

Laura Wright tweeted:

Yes lets fight for GH! And I hope we see some familiar faces!! Very talented people on these shows!

I figured that AMC would be off the air by the end of the year. I thought that OLTL had a shot of surviving for a few more years. I guess I was wrong.

It will be interesting to see if DAYS can survive until its 50th anniversary.

What's sad for fans of OLTL is when he says the decision to cancel both shows only came within the past week (he says they had already decided to ditch one show weeks ago)...no doubt at that meeting with Anne Sweeney. Since OLTL is the one getting the extra four months on the air, it was clearly the one that was going to be spared until at least September 2012 if they had gone ahead and only canceled one of the shows.

Can you imagine if Sweeney had gotten her wish and GH wouldve been canceled too?? That would have been interesting to see.

Did Frons call GH economically sound? GH is cash strapped! OLTL Frank V. ALWAYS came under budget? DOESN'T ADD UP!

ABC has been a piece of [!@#$%^&*] and on a downhill slide to HELL since Disney took over in 1996. That was the year that TGIF died. They took the last 2 shows over to CBS. (Step By Step and Family Matters) and the soaps were toned down. The mob took over GH even more than before. OLTL was watered down. And AMC was kinda looked over. Their prime time died first. Now their daytime. Capital Cities is weeping and rolling over in it's little corporate grave!

I honestly don't know which network is worst. NBC for screwing over Conan, CBS for canning ATWT and GL, or ABC for this. Network TV should just bloody DIE ALREADY!

Every 40+ actress on that show needs to be worried.

Think how many people from ABC Victor will marry before Y&R ends.

So terribly sad about OLTL and AMC. Sending love and support to all....
