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.

I think thats why we had the delay. They knew AMC was canceled but were still deciding on OLTL fate.

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!

LW cant act [!@#$%^&*]...GH is next!

FRONS INTERVIEW: ABC Daytime Chief Explains Why 'AMC' & 'OLTL' Were Axed; Says 'GH' Is "Safe For Time Being"

EXCLUSIVE: ABC's daytime president Brian Frons is the most hated man among soap fans today after the announcement that the network is canceling both All My Children and One Life To Live. He even quipped that he "pre-entered the witness protection program prior to today's events."

Some WWE Wrestlers already have his eye on him from twitter

AMC & OLTL are it for me, in terms of daytime soaps. I have a feeling it's the same for you!

Yeah it is--aside from a few periods of watching the P&G soaps (and of course my Loving/City love--which I guess just shows I took to the Agnes shows more).

WOW! Incredible interview with Brian Frons!

He says this was a year in the making and that there were talks of combining both shows!

Well, I'm glad they didn't combine them. What would have been one hell of a hot mess...

I wonder what changed for OLTL to get the ax. They were on an upswing. And If this decision was made a year ago WHY MOVE AMC TO THE WEST COAST???!!!!!

Poor Susan.

With Maria's love of doppelgangers, it'll probably be like AMC never ended for Susan.

He even quipped that he "pre-entered the witness protection program prior to today's events."

Making funnies eh Fronzy. Go stuff you head up your ass. Oh wait. Nevermind. It's already there!

Well, I'm glad they didn't combine them. What would have been one hell of a hot mess...

Same here, it would have killed both shows prettydamnquick

Susan Lucci as the New Sheila Carter....watch Maria hire her for the role.

He even quipped that he "pre-entered the witness protection program prior to today's events."

This is all a good laugh to him.

...AMC and OLTL, who is now "focused on providing emotional, satisfying ending" to the shows.

Which means that Frons told them how to end it, and hired a writer...LB, who is decent enough to keep the fans "happy" while she gets to the end he mandated.

Rylee will ride off into the sunset, before the show up on GH!

The scary thing is I don't even think he was joking about thinking about having a talk show hosted by him...

I don't either Eric. Remember. This was the same guy who played God on Santa Barbara.

I looked at (Bravo executive/talk show host) Andy Cohen and thought maybe I should have talk show."

Kick rocks, you fat bitch.

MAB will probably hire Susan to be the new Lorie Brooks...she will hire Brittany Allen to be the new Sheila.
