I feel bad for you AMC fans, but I am glad they will be the "guinea pig" in all of this instead of OLTL. I realize it's only a few months difference, but still it will be enough time to see how good or bad this is all going to turn out to be....

They should wait and launch both shows together in January.

I would wait to launch the shows. I also think keeping Carruthers is a bad mistake.

I would like to see them warp a year or two into the future with the relaunch. I've always wanted to see a show do that while still running - I thought it would be a smart way to clear the deck at OLTL, and allow the viewer to explore the mystery of how things got to where they are in that timeframe in flashbacks, etc.

Why are they so eager to rush this? Seriously it's worth it to take their time and hire people who won't have to churn out script's in a short amount of time

LB is going to to devestated if VI doesn't continue on

Wait so LoBro hasn't broken out her trusty 50+ yr. old edible undies to wheel in VI yet Oh god she'd rather quit than let her PV He-Man go.

Gee, the hilarity of ageism. Didn't you refer to her last week as an "old hag," too? You can come up with better ways to criticize than that.

I probably joked around about ageist things in high school, but I'm not exactly proud of it. Seriously... I have a grandmother, a mother... my age will be there some day, too. Same for you, right?

The Save our Soaps people got their wish... a temporary stay of execution which in the process will probably rob this legacy show and its fans a proper NETWORK send-off.

I'm really hoping that's not the case... that they recognize that there deserves to be a conclusion for this "chapter" of the show's history. The show as we know it on ABC could go out on a serious high-note with a nice grande finale if TPTB allows it. Obviously we'll have to see how that plays out.

But whatever happens on ABC, you know whenever the sun sets on the online version, Pine Valley will end with a resounding whimper there. It would be a huge waste of opportunity to not do something special and conclusive for 9/23.

I'm thrilled they're keeping Lorraine and that Susan Lucci has agreed to appear although I hope she stays permanently!

It churns my stomach every time I open this thread to see who has or hasn't signed on yet.

The bright spot for me is knowing that several cast members were only returning short term so the show living on means there's a greater chance that Zach will stay dead.

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.

He's VERY smart about making himself seen by OTHER tv show producers, in these "hosting" gigs. It's worked for Mario Lopez, that guy from that bad 90's band and a couple of male comics already. It's not like DOOL, BnB or YR are blowing up his agent's cellphone, asking about his availability.

Sadly I don't think AN is getting that, given her comments how she wants to write the finale like the show will continue on, I thought that was a mistake from the moment she said it. There has to be some kind of closure or finality

Are we back to the "not getting a proper sendoff" freakout again? I don't think any ending would fit this magical, mystical proper sendoff high note grand finale mega wrap-up that people keep worry is being ripped from our heaving bosom. Some of you sound like you want everyone in Pine Valley to sing "We'll allll-waaays be to-geth-errrrr" as Jerica fly away in a magic convertible. Here. Just swap out Kinickie and Rizzo for Rylee and Jesse/Angie for the coach and the principal.

YES HE NEEDS TO STAY DEAD.

Keep Broderick. They need to ditch JHC

Here's Cam and Kim Delaney:

I am not keen on any of these people staying including Broderick despite the "shes the best thing ever" mantra crowed about her. She like every other

showrunner and current writer is part of the problem not the solution. Agnes I could see in an advisory role and hopefully if they use Broderick its only in that capacity in the long run. Carruthers just why? Some of the talent I can see.

As for no proper sendoff, Agnes already said the show was going to be left in a position where it could be picked up elsewhere. I don't see that changing or any finale changing.
