There's something about Matt Borlenghi that I don't trust or like:

Matthew Borlenghi

I agree. I may not have made the 'notable alumni' list, but I agree whole-heartedly. Funny that if I had not quit my role as Brian, Kelly never would have met Mark and so forth. I am profoundly saddened to see the show, and all those jobs, go away.

Matt Borlenghi

You should be on that list.I was watching when both you and Kelly joined the AMC family,and loved Brian and Hailey.

Since both shows have a relatively short amount of time to wrap things up, I think a montage akin to the finale of Six Feet Under's (minus the death part!) where we get glimpses of a lot of old favorites would be great. For example, instead of cramming in a bunch of scenes with dialogue or running crusty flashbacks, flash to Ellen and Mark walking arm in arm on vacation in (fake) Paris, Daisy and Nina laughing and cooking in the kitchen with glasses of white wine and pics of Cliff, Bobby, Michael, and Bonkers clearly visible, Enid, Marian, and Mary Smythe doing lunch (Marian's free! Mary still exists!), Tom and Livia gushing over Terrence and An-Li's baby they just brought over, stuff like that... you can capture a lot with no dialogue at all. I'm pretty confident we'll see Joe and Ruth, Adam and Brooke, angel Dixie with her newest 'do... it would be nice to get even a glimpse of some other old faves.

OK, now he can sit his ass down. Valentin ain't happenin.

Maybe the last scene will morph into a photograph as Agnes closes her photo album.

An all-new, very soft, very poignant version of the original theme playing while Agnes reads the poem.

I. WOULD. BAWL.

Sometimes a simple "Thank you" is best. He's beginning to bug me like BB.

I remember I think it was for the 25th Anniversary week, where the first scene was placed inside of a photobook. It looked cool at the time.

Frons said ABC was not responding 2 FAN lobbying. He didn't say they wouldn't listen 2 advertisers & local stations. #AMC #OLTL #GH

It's blowing up in the most unexpected way, and I am loving it. I love how the general consensus is that Frons is a rat bastard. I love it. LOVE IT. I don't carrrrre that the shows will still be dead and still be gone. I just love how this gigantic spotlight is being shone on them one last time, if only for a moment.

This was from Matt Borlenghi from a few days ago, before cancellation.

Am thinking that I might be done with acting, and just stick to developing and producing tv shows... Yup... Might just be done with it...

It's like, ok, why are you telling us this? To feel sorry for you?

This may be too lofty a position to take--but what Frons doesn't get is that soaps at their best deal with human issues and problems in a way something like the Chew never could. My mom has said she helped come to terms with her abuse cuz of Vicki's 90s DID ordeal. I can think of many of my own issues, like coming out and dealing with past history, that the shows have really helped me through. I can think of many other instances--people grow, I think, from drama, and not from watching people tell you in an hour how to eat, and some host showing a woman who lost weight.

Even a grim story like McTavish's Erica intervention got both of us a lot closer. No episode of Oprah would have done that. What I find most insulting is that Frons claims that he's helping more people with his new shows.

Me too. The moment she gets out, "The Great and the Least...", billions of arm and back of neck hairs across the country are going to shoot straight up.

I think having Agnes or someone read out the poem and closing the All My Children photo album one last time is the ONLY way for the show to end. It has to be incorporated somehow....
