yet she keeps returning LOL! I don't think there's much of a bait & switch, not when Rylee haters know Rylee will never be over, she is friend's with Frons, unless she's the stupidest person on the planet, then even she'd have to know Rylee isn't going anywhere as long as Frons draws breath

LMAD's season averages, have been better than the season averages of GL's last two years on the air. Even with the cost of prizes, LMAD costs less than half of what GL did to produce, even after GL went to Peapack. Some of the prizes that are given away are donated by companies in exchange for reduced ad rates during the show.

TV Guide Magazine: You're a businessman in your own right. What are your thoughts on All My Children and One Life to Live going to the internet?

Burton: Personally, I think it's gonna work. I've been learning a lot about marketing on the internet and how advertising works. If Prospect Park has the right business plan, it could be a big success. Twenty percent of America now watches TV via the internet. That's an insane number! I go on ESPN.com and I have to watch a 15-second commercial before I can watch an interview with Peyton Manning. There's no getting around it. You have my attention for 15 seconds. With TiVo, you don't. Advertisers will get more for their buck on the internet and these Prospect Park people can use that to their advantage. But we'd obviously prefer to stay on ABC.

TV Guide Magazine: What's been the mood around the studio since the network announced that Katie Couric's talk show will take over the GH time slot in September, 2012?

Burton: After AMC and OLTL got cancelled, everybody was like, "It's the end of the world! The sky is falling!" And it got worse after [the Couric announcement]. But ABC has made some big changes at our show by making Garin the head writer. Jill is trying to do everything humanly possible to keep this show on the air. I gotta give her credit for that. It's hard to make moves and make decisions right now but she's doing everything she can. The mood is, "Let's come together and do our best." We're hand-in-hand in this situation. We're a show that wants to survive. Morale was pretty low after the cancellations. Now it's pretty high. There are so many variables. If Katie Couric's taking our slot, do we get the slot of one of these new reality shows if they don't work out? What's the likelihood of both of them being a hit? All we can do is focus on what we need to do to keep the ratings up and the budget down. We don't want ABC looking at us going, "Do we want GH or this Chew show?" We want our numbers to be so good they can't even think about getting rid of us.
