Members Jonathan Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 La Lucci issued a statement. It sounds like it was pre-written by PR. http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/04/14/susan-lucci-all-my-children-canceled/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 That Frons press release is so full of vapid, self-congratulatory, vaguely elitist blither and buzzwords that mean nothing - and I know from vapid buzzwords - that it is hilarious. His job is not going to last long, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm totally shocked, but I guess the rumors were true. I thought OLTL especially was safe with RH's return. GH will be toast in Sept 2012. A very sad day. Poor Aggie! My mind is being flooded with happy memories of AMC & OLTL. RIP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 They didn't want the soaps to succeed. All that about listening to what viewers are telling them - they didn't listen to viewers with their soaps. And I doubt anyone told them they wanted to call something "The Chew." All that about a variety of opinions is also BS. The View is one of the most one-sided shows out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 Lucci is DONE with daytime. DONE with the corporate smiles and most of all, DONE with ABC. She is probably unbelievably furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aMLCproduction Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 No No Days is done in 2013 when their contract is up. I've made my peace. There is nothing he can do now to save it. no One can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 Anyone read Nikki Finke, who says that sources say Anne Sweeney wanted all 3 soaps gone. So those thinking ABC wanted to save GH to savor some sort of 50 year legacy I think this says they don't care. It's about profit and viewing habits changing. These new shows probably only have to pull in a third of the soaps audiences to be viable. A very sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 This is how I expected Lucci to react. I think she's been over AMC for quite some time, especially since the move to LA, and just stays on because it's comfortable and she has many friends associated with the show. She doesn't need the money, she's a brand herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 I know, but mine looked better. She is so done with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 So the AMC vs. OLTL cancellation war is over with both sides crushed in defeat by ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
