Members John Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 According to my realiable friend Susan, Fans are planning to protest GMA's Tribute Monday and The View's Thursday tribute taping. I find this sickening. These tributes are about the Cast, Crew and Agnes Nixon. Its about celebrating all these people did to bring Llanview into our lives for 43.5 years. These tributes are about them not us and I cant believe how selfish some can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I hope the actors are honest during the tribute. Like how Bob Woods, in SOD this week said something about (this is a paraphrase) how the people responsible for the cancellation have caused a lot of people to be angry. They will have to answer for it somehow and they can take the bullet for it, as they've got it coming. Whatever is done, I hope the actors (plus Agnes) aren't hurt in the crossfire and get the respect they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ~bl~ Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 The crazy thing is I have no problem if people were protesting in a positive way instead of being Screw the whatever. Basically they would be outside waiting to see the actors or Agnes and then when they walk outside to go into the View building they cheer for them, clap, say they are awesome etc) That I think would be cool, though I doubt that is what anyone doing this would have in mind unfortunately. Having a sign that says "1968-2012 OLTL we shall miss you" is very different than "Screw the Chew and the View" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I take it they don't realize how idiotic this is, that they're protesting Agnes, and the actors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 the show is done. People need to accept that and move on. They arent disrespecting ABC at this point but rather the actors who poured their heart into this show and are doing these tributes/interviews for us fans.

Members Eric83 Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I will miss OLTL terribly but come the [!@#$%^&*] on, its a tv show they get canceled all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 There isn't enough vodka in the world to get me to think this is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm calling it now. Somebody will show up outside GMA with an "Occupy the Soaps" sign and somebody is going to get pepper sprayed. For their sake I hope that the weed at this protest is at least as good as it was in Zucotti Park when I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 How many fans would this be? Is it like two people with a sign? I think protesting would be stupid and counterproductive, but I can't get worked up about it yet, as just about everything fans have done, including buying a thank you ad for AMC and OLTL, has been spun as some embarrassment of the ages.

Members dragonflies Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm just sick and tired of SOME AMC & OLTL fans acting like their shows are above being cancelled or that they're the first soaps to ever be cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 Exactly, it's going to be like the other "protests" where 5 people showed up. It's irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I thought AMC/OLTL had at least a couple dozen people protesting. I do agree with the sentiment that other shows have been cancelled before and it was just as hurtful to fans of those shows as it is to those who are upset about what ABC did. Talk to a P&G fan about what they feel about The Talk and/or Let's Make A Deal, it is eerily similar to the comments about the replacement shows on ABC.

Members dragonflies Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I know of some ABC soap fans who sneered and laughed at ATWT & GL fans when their shows were cancelled. They thought because ABC OWNED their soaps they wouldn't cancel them. As we know they thought wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
