Seeing the current ratings, it's heartbreaking, AMC can't stop bleeding viewers even when there was rumors of cancellation

Why? It hasn't helped any other soap in the past (yes, ratings HAVE risen but only near the final episodes long after rumours and official cancelation speak). I actually suspect in this day and age more casual fans would tune out if they heard it was being canceled.

SOAPnet's janky ass can't even be bothered to make this the "first panel" news item. It's not in ANY of the panels, it's kicked off down towards the bottom. Frons, somewhere in Africa there's an ostrich head that I'd love to see stuck up your ass, pecking away at all of your slimy insides.

It'll never happen. NBC has been trying to flick Days off like a sticky booger for years now. No way would they pick up another soap.

LMAO! Such an accurate description!

They should have combined the shows and gave that a shot.

That was a kind thing Ron Raines said to Stephanie Gatschet. I hope the shows go out in a way that we don't hate.

Why bother wondering why people think anything? It should be understandable that there are fans who seek a silver-lining to this dark cloud. I happen to give LB more credit than just driving a bus over a cliff, and honestly don't care enough about Ryan / Greenlee to focus on them (and even if their wedding is part of the show's conclusion, I seriously doubt the conclusion will center on such).

But the only thing that's clear right now is that we won't know for certain what will be happening, in terms of story, until it actually makes it to spoiler / shows up on our screens. We can either choose to tune in for it, or tell ourselves it's going to be horrible and decide to not watch. I'm going to go with the first choice; I don't want to end up wondering what I missed out on.

For me, the news is sad enough as it is. Beating the crap out of a show's final months before the scenes even air isn't going to make me feel any better. I figure I might as well make the best of it. I'll remain hopeful that we'll be given a satisfying conclusion to both shows.

Well, I don't know that I believe that they'll be the focus, not with LB there to balance a bit. So yes, I do think there's reason to hope there. And I do. I just don't and can't believe they'll end up anywhere else. It just seems like the one thing we can count out. I just want balance, true to character interactions, that are based in history. I'm willing to except the show ending, but I don't want to be left sitting here going, "Where was David? What happened to him?" etc.

I guess this what I get for trying to stay a little ahead and typing up my column (which will be posted later this evening) last night.....sigh. Oh well.

I'm just hearing this. Unbelievable. I'm going to miss OLTL like crazy. To this day I still miss The Edge of Night.

Well, I have to January to enjoy the show. After this I won't be watching anymore daytime TV. I'm going to miss the genre.

Amen to that! ABC Daytime can kiss my ass come January because I will never watch them again...

Mallory rocks

It's truly the end of an era and I am just...so sad.

And it's doubly sad and also [!@#$%^&*] enraging that Brian Frons still has a job.

First of all, the shows replacing AMC and OLTL? The Revolution and The Chew. SAY THAT OUT LOUD: THE CHEW. Did you just turn bright red and look over your shoulder to make sure nobody heard you say that? Because OMFG, that is just epically lame. The Chew! I ask you.

This is how I feel in song right now.

I AIN'T NO HOLLABACK GIRL (I won't watch this s___)

*Exactly how I feel*. I get why some think it makes me seem like a deluded Pollyanna And I also get why it helps some fans to concentrate on how bad it could be if it went on, and this is for the best, etc--but I just can't think that way.

You've told me this before... and I know why you feel that way, Eric. And this doesn't relate to the discussion between you, Kylie, and myself so much... but more about your "Pollyanna" comment: I remember a time when I posted a positive opinion on the board, and a couple of people responded as if I (and anyone who happened to agree with me) was delusional... I even remember someone inferring that I worked for ABC, and was promoting for them... and I'm pretty sure this just because I was looking forward to Lorraine Broderick's work airing!

Though I backed away from the board because I wanted to avoid that kind of conflict, I'm not mad about it... because I think the people who said things like that were really just incredibly pissed off by what happened under Pratt (or B&E, McTavish, you name it) and weren't ready to have any optimism just yet. And to them, I probably did sound absurd to suggest that LB could do something positive in setting the right course for AMC...

But I happen to think you sound level-headed about it, Eric... and you're really honest with YOURSELF about your feelings for the two shows, and you let that show openly here. I've always appreciated that about you.

Ron Raines should serve as an inspiration to all the soap actors. He is about to open up at The Kennedy Center in Follies. You just gotta keep on plugging away.

Hey Angie, check your PMs

Is it ironic that that it sounds like The Screw, considering how many people ABCD just screwed over?
