So how many more weeks will there be an SOW? I hope they are able to do a goodbye issue and don't shutter before that happens. I feel for the employees, though I think they knew it was coming soon, once they went newsstand only earlier this year.

BYE! This is a recent cover

Well, I knew this was coming. It is never a good time to be unemployed and in this economy, it is the worse. I wish the employees luck.

Yep covering primetime was the beginning of the end for the mags. SOD won't be long I'm sure. The subscription price for SOD is ridiculous, especially if you're a soap fan that might only watch let's say just Y&R or something

SOD has been covering prime time for at least 30 years, but at least they were soaps.

I think they even gave Sean Kennif (from the first season of Survivor - the alphabet guy) a column, briefly. Or I might be hallucinating that. Anyway, it was the first time I really knew the magazine was something I wasn't going to be buying.

I get the idea of putting coverage of the most popular soaps, but those people were already buying SOD. I think they could have had a niche market of their own if they'd focused more on the lesser soaps.

I know they had little money and they were doing their best, but I think the covers have looked like such sh!t for a long time. I know they couldn't afford to do photo shoots but honestly even going to the set and taking photos with a camera phone would have looked better than that cookie cutter cut and paste of random soaps.

SOW died when Mimi Torchin cleaned out her desk, her covers were the best in the business. She did some great work on Another World back then.

AMEN.

Awww......I've always preferred SOW to SOD, especially when Mimi and Marlena were there. I remember the first issue I bought and it was the one with the "Port-Charles" serial killer suspects. SOW had such amazing covers.

I never could stand her, I know that's probably a UO, she always seemed really biased to me

Soap Opera Weekly Shuttered, April 10 Issue Will Be Its Last

very sad to hear more people out of work.

Is ABC and CBC SID still around? I see no point to those with only four soaps left.

Yes they are both still around.

Its partially their fault for sugar coating some of the awful writing.....instead of saying how shitty some stories were they continued to be all nicey nicey....it would have benefited the soaps had they been more honest with the soaps and their viewers.
