AMC and OLTL Canceled!

[Scotty]

All I know is that the last scene of the final episode of OLTL had better have Viki in it saying something some line about having only One Life to Live or there being no place like Llanview.

I don't remember that--who did end up writing it?

I'm spot on with you there.

[OLTL_fan]

+1, then I'll really be crying.

Who the hell is RSinclair?

[Ryan Chamberlain]

And, the end fades with her staring into the fireplace. (like the original opening had)

That would be amazing.

I admit that while I was never a big watcher, GL's cancelation was expected by me, but ATWT was the wake up call. As much as I truly loved Loving/The City, I think because it had always been last place, the ending didn't shock me, even with them not even giving City two years.

[EricMontreal22]

See again--and it's SOO pointless to argue now I know, I don't think int his case that is entirely true. I bet OLTL is going longer while they prepare the new show because, more than demos or anything at this point, it makes sense to keep the show that's in the timeslot beside GH for a while and replace the first one.

From Michael Easton on his FB page

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. ~Charles M. Schulz

Or...

she says that and the show goes FTB but just when it we expect the credits to start rolling it fades back to light and it is Victor saying "don't be so sure!" and then a diabolical laugh and then the show fades to black.

*thumbs up to ME for that quote*

He's one of those actors that I really respect. But, never seem to give enough credit to.

[leahanna]

I like him and he is alway so eloquent

[All My Shadows]

I don't even remember...it definitely wasn't Agnes, though, but I remember reading at least once that she was going to do it.

See, this right here is the type of thing that makes me really sad. To see someone who is usually "hard" and "cold" have a brief pouring out of emotion. I'm not even a big ME fan, but that's the type of thing that chokes me up.

[EricMontreal22]

ABC did have a brief resurgence with water cooler shows like DH and Lost but this has died now. But I do think that, while I know this sounds like hyperbole, with all three networks losing their soaps and a real sense of daytime identity it is the mark of the slow death of network tv in general. It does help witht heir brand, and more and more networks have zero brand--in sharp contrast to the increasing popularity of cable stations which largely do still have strong name recognition. Few of my younger friends could tell you WHAT network a show they may watch like Modern Family even airs on, but they all could tell you Dexter is on Showtime, True Blood on HBO, Spartacus on Starz even...

[Pine Charles]

You'll look fierce in that.

I'm thinking DeeeDee should don Erica's Vegas showgirl look.
