If the Fords continue to the online version, I'm 90% sure I won't be watching.

While I'd rather see Viki single and available for something else, I expect OLTL to reunite Viki and Clint by January. So, thinking economics, I'd be fine with Slezak appearing on a recurring basis at least but still active, while JVD is definitely recurring, more as the patriarch/her husband.

I'd like to see JvD but I wish it could be in another role. I just can't deal with this thing named Clint.

Cam's already working his Plan B. He's always wanted to be Regis and dammit he's going to get there one way or another.

Okay I went back down the rabbit hole and looked at some SOS people on twitter. It seems that they are still in "it's a trap!" mode, they really think that this deal is a fake cooked up by Frons and his cronies in order to end the SOS movement. I wish I was kidding.

I think he's a bit too OTT/crazy-eyed to fill that type of role.

SLAP!!

Didn't I tell you to stay out of that neighborhood?! It's not safe!

Oh dear. Some of these people need help.

There are one or two "leaders" in that movement who really feed the paranoia. I'm grateful to the people who kept the issue front and center. God knows, I didn't do much to help and had zero faith, but it only takes a few nuts cases to have people believing all soaps fans are crackers.

They seem to think that Brian Frons is a Adam Chandler/Victor Newman-like villain who created a plan with the PP people in which they lie to the press and actors/crew/writers of AMC/OLTL in order to stop the SOS movement people from saying bad things about the Chew.

I found this item interesting

Even though the two soaps were not huge money makers on television, they both charged just under $10,000 per 30 second commercial slot last year. That made each soap around $250,000 per episode. Those advertising revenues simply don’t exist online

In the realm of TV that is nothing. I am shocked that ad rates are so low.

*sigh* I know and those of us who don't believe such insanity are naive dupes as they see it. I don't know how anyone can believe that ABC cares enough about soap fans to hatch such a wide spread conspiracy that includes fraud upon the government (considering government grants are being used). If ABC cared that much about soap viewers or thought we had enough power that they need to trick us, they wouldn't have canned these shows in the first place. Let's face it, The Talk is doing pretty well. The Chew probably will too. If it doesn't, the next talk/reality show will.

But that's why the show is being canceled right? Ad rates have dropped to the point that I could afford to advertise during the show. One thing I've noticed is the low quality of ads during the last few years. Seems like fewer and fewer national brands are advertising during the soaps. Switch over to TNT's repeats though and their are plenty of ads geared towards the traditional daytime audience. That's just my observation, but it's what I've noticed.

Is it doing that well?

It's doing about the same or better than ATWT but I think this and The Chew are just going to be cheap filler to help ease the networks out of daytime altogether. If they weren't then more care would be taken in finding good product.
