Burton had a msg the other day that was basically a long sales pitch for some sort of soap star cookbook, that he said he was sure would now be a "collector's item" as we said goodbye to AMC and GH, so get it while it's hot soap fans! I believe he was parroted in this by one of his many GH lackeys - one of those idiots who plays one of the "funny" bodyguards on the show - and then they both apologized, then pulled the tweets and blamed a hacker or something. Like Brandon Buddy.

So sad:

This young girl just last landed a recurring role on AMC...first airing on May 9th.

The article also lists AMC's final airdate as September 11th.

the ten year anniversary of 9/11, if Frons really this insensitive, seriously? Do we know when OLTL is?

Oh, how classy.

I've never liked Steve Burton. He always reminded me of Pig Pen from the Peanuts comic scrip. So dirty looking.

I am glad it was front page news, and the headline for the story next to it sort of sums up what Frons did to soaps over the years

the ten year anniversary of 9/11, if Frons really this insensitive, seriously? Do we know when OLTL is?

Well the article has the date wrong....9/11 is on a Sunday, but my guess would be that AMC would end either the 9th or the 16th.

No clue about OLTL.

OH MY GOD. All I saw at first was "They RAPED Me!" A picture of Susan Lucci and the words "Fat Lady" underneath....You all know where my mind went.

Not to mention the picture of Lucci that they chose to use....

Pig Pen had a neck.

I will credit Burton for having the smarts to spend years whoring out ABC and various co-stars to help him make a quick buck, but this was horrible timing. It's odd, as he usually has better PR skills these days (not so much in some of his past interviews where his issues with Sarah Brown weren't kept out of print).

The NY Daily news had one good point about soaps as they wrote an article basically saying it was time for them to go

Whatever the writers came up with for Susan Lucci's Erica Kane or the newer cast members on "AMC," it has already been tackled more quickly, and more realistically, by a reality show with a bigger audience.

Soap followers like to talk about groundbreaking topics and all that stuff. Great. But those days are long gone, too. Same-sex relationships, sex and, well, life, are covered on "The Real World" and its descendants, and have been for years.

I would say "No kidding" but "no kishing" seems more appropriate.

ICAM Scotty.

Also, Carl, SB and Sarah Brown had issues?! Do tell!!!!

No clue about OLTL.

what date does Soapnet end? I would guess that will be OLTL's last date as well

the only thing that is good is Frons doesn't give a crap and will leave OLTL and AMC alone to do what they want and I am happy the people don't have to work for Frons anymore, they will come out the winners and Frons will lose everything, can't wait

Real World turned into an STD factory long ago and any issues it covers are done for shock value and exploitation, and are full of vile stereotypes about minorities. It's descendants amount to shows that get attention mainly because of people behaving like morons or beating the crap out of each other and getting arrested.

Reality shows of today care about conflict and reinforcing stereotypes, not much else.

Sometime in January.....no exact date yet though.

UGH! He's so full of it!!!

I HATE THIS MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!! :mad:

God, he is the biggest piece of s!it since Hitler. (I'm 1/8 Jew. I can say that)

BTW, this is how I know soaps will survive:

It wasn't even that great a film, despite stunning visuals, music and a great performance by Tilda Swinton. But I Am Love was all the rage last year, drawing on Luchino Visconti and lots of other classic films. And it was very clearly a film that was soap - like Game Of Thrones is deep down, like so many big cable shows, like the latest remakes of Jane Eyre. It's all soap.
