When it comes to rumours...don't underestimate the stupidity of the fanbase. This is the "What if I don't have internet?" crowd we're talking about.

So damn true.

Sadly that has proven to be somewhat true

Well considering SID and other bloggers proclaim GH is the second coming? Why is Robin held to a higher standard?

what gives you the impression that I think that she is? Its not like you read comments from me praising SID's jouranalism or some random bloggers posting about these shows. When you do, then you can come at me for treating her differently than them

Well my surprise is he was VERY anti the whole thing in the past (particularly AMC but he's been anti AMC and pro One Life only when RC/FV are there for a while.)

He was not very anti the whole thing ... Nelson Branco broke a lot of the initial PP news this go round, although some would like to dismiss that. He was the only one still talking about PP for awhile when the project went south the first time too.

Also -

I don't agree soap fans who don't want their soaps to be cancelled and protest when they are have something wrong with them. Soaps bring enjoyment to millions, and tie people together; it's not wrong to be passionate about them. In the comparison of misplaced passion, it's certainly better than rioting in the streets because a sports team loses or wins (for example).

And-

I love the video John posted from JWoww where Kelley Missal, Corbin Bleu, Josh Kelly, and I forget who else are saying bye to her now and Corbin is reiterating they aren't cancelled!

I think the shows will be back in production by August like they are hoping.

and it could be false. If she doesn't know, then she shouldn't be giving false hope to people

I'm not sure it's that serious. I mean, it's not like she's spreading rumors about a cure for cancer. The online soap community is always a flutter with some rumor or the next anyway.

New HOPEful rumor: #OLTL MIGHT resume taping in late July or mid August. It's ONLY a rumor. I hope for everyone's sake, it comes to be true.

Yeah, I wish she wouldn't say this kinda stuff either and even worse is that some of us fans -- whom have been disappointed time and time again over the past 26 months -- will grasp on to it and rationalize it in their heads as being fact.

I'm with you. I take it with a grain of salt as most other rumors I run across on the Internet.

Plus, it's Strasser. Does anybody take her seriously about this kind of stuff anymore?

I'd keep an open mind with her as I would others.

people act like this is as serious as cancer. Anything AMC/OLTL/PP seems to be a very sensitive issue with alot of people. I wonder why people get so pressed and worked up when it comes to these shows but it does and has brought out alot.

Not concrete info but at least it sounds optimistic.

"IATSE officials are downplaying the dispute and told Backstage it should be resolved before the shows resume production in August. The producers and the union have a contract that runs through December 31."

Understandable. The production costs were too high and they weren't making enough money so they go on hiatus for maybe two months and spread out the episodes. It's sad this had to happen so early on. The writers and editors are still working so I have no reason to believe it will be on hiatus for too long and they can then continue producing new episodes.

Didn't know where to put this but I have the GH marathon on SoapNet in the background and saw them promo AMC/OLTL. I was surprised, or have the promos been airing the whole time? But, this is the first time I've had SOAPnet on since probably the GH50th marathon lol, so, I didn't know.

I've had Hallmark on lately too (in the morning for I Love Lucy and Golden Girls) and they FREQUENTLY show the AMC/OLTL hulusoaps.com promo.

So, and probably not the thread for it since we're talking numbers and costs (well, I'm not) , but I think I've seen their commercial a TON. Which is a good thing. And I saw it on HLN too during that special Emmy show that I just couldn't watch, it just felt really bad to me.

(And yes, I know the promos have aired on CW, other networks, etc. I was just making observations on where I've seen them and that I've seem them often)

Wow, cool, I basically don't watch real TV anymore (it's all on the Internet) so I had no idea they had such a pervasive presence with the ads.
