Members Contessa Donatella Posted Monday at 08:27 PM Members Share Posted Monday at 08:27 PM Fourteen years ago today on April 14, 2011, it was a very dark day in soaps. There's a reason (or reasons) why Brian Frons not only correctly has the label #SoapKiller but even more than that he individually has the specific nickname Daytime Destroyer. That morning from what we think we know he had it in his mind as an employee of Disney, to want to cancel the entire Disney/ABC lineup. Now, he could not announce the cancellation of General Hospital because they did not have a show ready to put in that timeslot. That is the only reason that GH escaped the fate OLTL and AMC received. Despite the fact that OLTL was doing better in the numbers, he had a mandate to deliver a cancellation notice to that show. Somehow - and we will never know the why of it - he, without such a mandate, did also deliver a cancellation notice to All My Children. As we can all imagine & know from her autobiography, Agnes Nixon was personally devastated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted Monday at 08:40 PM Members Share Posted Monday at 08:40 PM Such a sad day in soap opera history. I remember reading the AMC telephone line from fans was insane and the mailbox was full (or something to that effect). Such a sad day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted 8 hours ago Members Share Posted 8 hours ago A fan on my soap opera group on FB found this almost forgotten gem: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/abc-daytime-soaps_b_851989?fbclid=IwY2xjawJskdJleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHmGk5zLeXvePdsx2ReyMnIVBas7RKnmnjFQ0pKnbpp_np3E2Nl45TFzUFxyH_aem_9Nhs3D_Mr73HOxwVJvD6ew I don't know who this Ed Martin guy is, but, boy, was he ever right on the money! Quoting it in whole because you never know when something from a defunct site might vanish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
