WOW. AMC fans, I am very sorry. I am hoping you guys get an ending (and the show gets an ending) it deserves.. I think you can count on Agnes and Lorraine.

If The Chew gets a 0.5 or less in the key women 18-49 demo after AMC is canceled, I think there's a chance The Revolution will replace it, and we'll get a press release like this:

ABC EXTENDS OLTL FAREWELL

Iconic Soap Will Air Through September 2012

From Trent Garrett. Not sure if he meant himself or the entire show.

@Trent_Garrett Working very hard to #saveoursoaps. Do you stop filming in July? #BoycottABC

@TanmanOH Perhaps even the end of June depending on how quick the writing is wrapped up.

WHAT!?

He better be talking about himself. But his earlier tweets didn't say he was going to be let go early, just that he would be okay if he was. So maybe he is indeed talking about the entire show ending production at the end of June/beginning of July.

I like your thinking.

Maybe. Doesn't the show usually take 2 weeks off in Aug? I doubt they would go on vacation and then come back to work.

I know that ATWT stopped taping/production in June and went off the air in September. But then again they also knew about their cancellation far longer than AMC did.

Not gonna happen. Even if The Chew starts out terribly, they're going to give it time to build an audience. By the time they decide whether or not the show is considered a success or a failure, OLTL probably will have already taped its last episode. Plus if The Chew tanks from the get-go, OLTL's numbers will probably crash too, so there'd be no motivation to keep it around. The only way OLTL or AMC is going to survive is if they're picked up by some other outlet, which seems pretty remote.

I like your thinking.

Come on, you know that is not going to happen. It's a done deal, nothing will change ABC's minds. I've been there

before trying to save Port Charles. Believe me, this will not be reversed. I hate to say that, but it's the way

it is.

We have to consider also that The Chew might be taking over its studios. If it is, then All My Children has to be out by the summer in order for The Chew to begin pre-production.

Not that AMC has any of its iconic sets left, but I wonder what will happen to the various props and sets..... does anyone know what became of some of the sets of shows that have been canceled in the past? I know The View used the apartment set of Morgan Fairchild's character on The City....

So in hindsight, when ABC bumped up Lorraine to HW, she was more than likely told that she'd be writing the swan song. AMC's cancellation was essentially a done deal weeks ago. This is probably how Felicia Behr found out. And I doubt promoting Lorraine to HW was done for sentimental reasons. Kreizman's and Swajesk's contracts were about to lapse, and they weren't going to sign them to a new deal knowing that their final scripts would need to be done in June. It was cheaper to bump up Lorraine, who was already there and was already under contract with, than to renegotiate with those two. What I don't understand is why did ABC set out to get Roger Howarth back if they knew they were going to announce cancelleation the following week. Was the decision to axe OLTL a totally last-minute decision that came out of Frons' meeting with Sweeney last Monday. Just intrigued by the behind-the-scenes moves.

OLTL inherited the Ryan's bar set when RH was axed.

I remember that...didn't it start out as Max's Place, then Andy's Place when he gave it to his sister, then Wanda's Place when she took it over?

Since All My Children shoots in LA, I think it would be appropriate for Erica to visit the corner of Hollywood and Vine in one of the last episodes.

This MUST happen! You seriously need to Tweet this to Suze, not to one of the writers/execs because they'll figure they have to pay you and it won't happen.

maybe they can sell it to B&B bc their sets are horrible

Then she needs to bend down and place a single rose under the street sign, smile and whisper, "I made it Nicky."
