"Their time here has come to an end."

Mr. Frons, truer words were never spoken.

Would that they were spoken of YOU, years ago, before you took a hatchet to not one, but TWO, daytime lineups.

In the words of The Rock...you can take your cancellation notice to AMC and OLTL, get a freshly printed copy...polish that thing up nice and good...turn that sumbitch sideways...AND STICK IT STRAIGHT UP YOUR CANDY ASS!

If you think OLTL is going to die when it stops airing in January 2012, you are wrong! Dead wrong! If I have anything to do with it, OLTL will live on virtually. And there's NO WAY you or any of your ABC minions can touch it.

I loved her on B&B as Macy but she is Krystal to me now and I would find it weird watching her as Macy now. Still I would love for her back on B&B when this is done, but the show is kinda crowded. Theres so many women in her age range

That [!@#$%^&*] is going to make JOKES now? You should pre-enter the witness protection program you prick. Not only did you kill two soaps, you know damn well you killed Agnes Nixon a little bit today, too.

I hope both of these shows flop like a wet [!@#$%^&*] and Frons has to explain this in 6 months when Anne Sweeney fires his ass.

I still can't get over how little time AMC has to wrap up. Ideally they would trash some of the completed scripts that are in the pike but yet-to-be produced. That would buy them a couple more weeks at least. But I guess that's not really feasible.

Ugh! JR's happily-ever-after will be Marissa finally agreeing to reunite with him, because there's really no time for anything else. Tad will end up with Cara, because there is no time for anything else. I like Tad & Cara, but as the ultimate finale to Tad's almost 40-year arc, it doesn't feel right. Even if Josh Duhamel agreed to come back to usher Greenlee off they wouldn't do it because they wouldn't allow Ryan to be alone at the end, and there's no time for anything else.

I honestly don't believe he cares enough to mandate a particular storyline end, and I hope that is true enough to work in our favor (for both AMC and OLTL). And in my opinion, Broderick is so much more than decent enough... She really is the best person to be writing AMC's final days. I take some comfort, and have some optimism, in that part.

Does anyone still believe that LB gets to end things her way? The guy clearly, IMO, told her how it ends. She just gets to fill the blanks on the way there.

What an !@#$%^&*]. I didn't know it was possible to loathe someone I've never met, so much and so deeply.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
