Does ABC really think anyone will continue to watch Daytime TV if these shows go? Do they really think anyone will watch replacements? FYI ABC those of us who watch Daytime also watch Primetime, so the bad press and bad feelings will carry over into Primetime too.

What Frons does not get is these show and the characters are like our family. Erica Kane, Victoria Lord etc are not replaceable. The other reality is, we Soap fans are still here. All you have to do is look at Twitter, FB, Youtube, the web etc to see all the chatter that continues from fans who still watch their shows.

If ABC was smart they’d: Send out a press release renewing each show for 5 more years, promote them in Primetime, and bring back Ryan’s Hope. That is what I said bring back Ryan’s Hope with Kate Mulgrew as Mary. Mary who has been in witness protection and returns to save her bar and neighborhood from a developer. That right there would create so much great press for ABC on TV News, Print, Twitter, FB, and online ABC could ride the wave for years.

So ABC, instead of scaring fans that their show and extended family may end, why don’t you use your powers for good, and make people want to tune into ABC, Daytime and Primetime.

This news is outrageous. Everyone who has been a lover and fan of these two soaps, should be up in arms and have a major protest in LA. Unfortunately, I don’t live on tne West Coast, but many of you do. We certainly don’t need another lousy talk show or reality one, either. When do all TPTB plan to cut the cord? Are they going to let the current stories play out? There is no redeeming value in another reality show. I’m really hating this. Stand up and shout loud, fans!…..

Again,if any of these shows go,it should definitely be GH(A.K.A “The Sonny Corinthos Mobster Hour”). Once S.C. came on and Jason lost his memory and,apparently,his mind,that’s when the show jumped the shark and lost me as a viewer.

Cancel GH instead,it’s not worth it. I’ve tried several times in the past ten years to get back into it,but i just can’t watch anymore. Long live AMC & OLTL.

Wow! Logan’s hearing it from his sources, can’t be good. Sad for daytime.

I understand that it is all about cost cutting, and a talk show or a reality show are much cheaper to make than a soap opera, BUT if you don’t have many people tuning in, what are you saving??????? Take away ANY of the three ABC daytime soaps and whatever you replace them with will not be successful, as ABC Soaps have a very loyal fan base, who have been following them for many, many years, and will never follow their replacements. Not to mention the CBS soap fans, many who have migrated over to ABC Soaps, since some of those soap stars have joined the ABC Soaps (now that was a smart move), hence the already extremely large fan base is still growing. By the way, imo, there are already way too many talk shows and reality shows on TV, many of which are gone in a blink of an eye. ABC soaps are a staple of ABC Daytime, and taking any of them away will absolutely put a huge dark cloud over ABC programming garnering countless viewers jumping ship for sure. I truly hope this is yet another foolish rumor and nothing more.

If I have to watch one more talk or reality show I’ll get out my radio and turn off the TV.Soaps have always given so many of us more comfort and pleasure than we can ever express through the years.The soap fans are like no other , loyal to a fault ! Why don’t the people in charge of the soaps try to find a way.maybe less air time, a new time slot, another channel.Don’t just throw up your hands and say oh well!I’m still missing ATWT and Guiding Light.Believe me , if all the soaps go, fans will find other ways to entertain themselves and it won’t be watching more talk and reality!

NO I WON’T CONTINUE TO WATCH ABC. I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT ONE LIFE TO LIVE.

Unfortunately, I believe that this is true. Both Logan and Nikki Finke are credible sources and neither would report something of this nature unless they were convinced that their info was correct.

ABC has likely seen the success that CBS has had replacing their costly soaps with cheaper programming. Despite soap fans stating that they would never watch CBS Daytime again, people (soap fans or new viewers) are still watching. The ratings may not be the equivalent of the soaps but, since the shows are much cheaper, the overall effect is more profit for CBS. ABC is a business and they could care less about the emotional reactions of their fans; their only goal is to maximize profits for their shareholders.

My gut says that this is a done deal. I feel terrible for the cast and crew of these shows – many of whom have been working at their respective show for years. The other remaining soaps had better take heed because they are going to be next.

Dear Mr. Frons,

Do u realize what your about to do..If you plan on canceling AMC and OLTL ..you will change the history of daytime forever. We do not want more talk shows or reality shows. We have so many now, BORING !! Keep all the soaps that are left on ….ABC & Disney have enough funds to keep them going. I’ve never written to a network before, but I am beyond upset about this possible horror show that might happen….KEEP AMC alive..and all the soaps….Thanks for letting me vent – Laura Coppola

KEEP The ABC Daytime Soaps alive…we lost too many….PLEASE

The cast of All My Children does not deserve this…They moved their families across the country to keep AMC alive..they took pay cuts…Susan Lucci jets back and forth to help AMC..Come on..be fair to the cast and staff amd FANS !

Rally to save our soaps, join us here!

I should hope they dont cancel AMC or OLTL they are both great soaps with great storylines and a great cast of actors. Alot of people enjoy tuning in as well as the entertainment. ABC would be making a huge mistake I think if they were to cancel these shows. Many many people enjoy these 2 soaps. You’ would have many disappointed people Not fair ither to the talented cast. They would all be out of work. Not right …. Save AMC and OLTL.

It will be a very sad day if “One Life to Live” goes off the air. i’ve been watching for about 30 years. Please let these rumours be untrue!

The only reason I turn on the TV during the day is to watch my ABC soaps. If they were not on, I would not watch network television during the day at all.

I do not watch reality TV or Talk Shows at anytime, with the exception of late night comedy talk shows so I certainly won’t watch them during the day. I have better things to do.

Guess I will start watching Y&TR, where I can see my alltime favorites, Stephen Nichols, Tristan Rogers, Kin Shriner and Genie Francies.

this has to be a joke….please let it be a joke…..NOT OLTL. How about noone of the ABC soaps! what are they thinking replacing the 3 best soaps with talk shows????? I’ll tell you one thing if they cancel AMC and OLTL: SHIT GONNA GET CRAZY! haha

Say it ain’t so, It to shall pass, we need soaps to escape from reality and share our views w/others..

April 3, 2011

Pleas do not take One Life to Live off the air. I only watch two soaps on Soap Net, that one and General Hospital. They have become a staple in my life.

I look forward every week night from 9:00-11:00 to watching both of these shows after I get off of work.

When they go off on Friday night, I look forward to Monday.

I know this isn’t much, but thank you for listening.

Sincerely,

Donna Anderson

For those of us who love daytime dramas this would force me to protest and not watch anything on abc.. I’m sick of talk shows and all the reality crap like we really need another reality show..

Did anyone bother to look at the date this was submitted? Granted this could be true, but I do love a good April Fools joke that gets everyone hyped up.

If ABC decides to take OLTL off the air, then daytime soaps are about to go the way of the dinosaur…it’s the best soap on television – period.

Ex employee of AMC stated the both shows are being canceled…This is insane ! KEEP THE SOAPS ON….

I thought I would die when Another World went off the air,I only watch Days of our live’s now,and when Bryan Dattilo/Lucas Horton went off the show last year,I have not watched a soap sence then and for over 45 years,I will never watch another soap as long as I live,we love soaps and we fans watch them and then the actors and charecters we love are all but gone and we never see or hear from them ever again,its so sad,my heart cant take it any more.

NBC is trying to save Days Of Our Lives,they are on till 2013 and going for 2015 and that will give then 50 years,I hope they make it,I hope they all make it,
soap fans are a mighty-out spoken,fiercely loyal bunch and we will fight for our fave shows tooth and nail,,,,

This is Crazy! I love my ABC Soaps(GH & OLTL) are my favorites. You Americans need to protest. I live in the caribbean so I can’t help. I watch my soaps on Youtube. The GH fans are the best. If these cancellations are allowed to continue I know GH will be next. Stop TPTB from doing so.

LOSING TREVOR ST JOHN, SUSAN HASKELL, BRAIN KERWIN AND BRTINEY UDNERWOOD IS ONE THING. BUT ONE LIFE TO LIVE. I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT THEM. SAME WITH ALL MY CHILDREN. I BECAME SO HURT WHEN KELLY RIPA, LIZ VASSEY, JOHN CALLAHAN, JAMES KIBERD, JULIA BARR AND COLIN EGGSFEILDSON AND AIDEN TURNER AND DAVID CANERY LEFT ALL MY CHILDREN. I’VE BEEN LIVING WITH OUT THE RAPPAPORTS ON ONE LIFE TO LIVE. PLEASE BRING BACK CATHERINE HICKLAND AND JASON SHANE SCOTT. I MISS THEM A LOT AS MUCH I MISS MARK DERWIN, JESSICA MORRIS, KALE BROWNE, DARLENE VOGEL AND SUSAN MINSER. I WAS SO SAD WHEN JEN, BEN,GRACE AND SAM DIED. I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT DREW. I LOVE SAMUEL BALL. I HAVE TO SAY HE IS BETTER LOOKING THAN VICTOR BROWNE. I STILL SOMETIMES THINK ABOUT SONIA SATRA. I JUST LOVE LAURA KOFFMAN. I WISH THAT SHE WILL COME BACK SAME WITH MELISSA FUMERO. IT WOULD GREAT TO SEE SOME PEOPLE FROM 1998, 1999,2000 AND 2001. I ALSO REALLY MISS AMELIA HEINEL AND TANISHA LYNN. THEY NEED TO BE BACK. I WASN’T SO HAPPY THAT LIZA IS BACK. I NEVER REALLY LOVE OR LIKE HER. I REALLY MISS TERRI IVENS. I LOVED HER I STILL DO. BRING BACK RACHEL,OLIVER AND KYLE. I LOVE THEM. I’M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS DEENA GIRL ON ONE LIFE TO LIVE. SHE NEEDS TO LEAVE.

I’M HAPPY THAT JOEY MADE IT BACK TO ONE LIFE TO LIVE. I’M A HUGE FAN OF HIM. SAME WITH JOEY ON ALL MY CHILDREN. HE GOES BY JAKE. BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER GET SEE JOEY AGAIN ON ALL MY CHILDREN. JAKE IS A GOOD NAME. IT WAS SO GREAT TO JOE AGAIN. I REALLY MISS JOSH CASAUBON SO MUCH. I LOVED HUGH.

These lingering, persistent rumors are making me feel desperately ill & terribly pessimistic!

If it’s about money, why ABC did waste it on moving “All My Children” to Los Angeles? Does Brian Frons understand that he’s insulting the loyal viewers of ABC Daytime, by putting additional talk shows that no one will watch and/or reality shows that are meant for primetime?

Who and where can we write to in order to prevent OLTL & AMC from getting cancelled?

I HAVE TO SAY THE GAY STORY LINES ON ONE LIFE TO LIVE OLIVER AND KYLE WAS GREAT TO WATCH. SAME ON ALL MY CHILDREN. BIANCA AND OF ALL GIRLFRIENDS. MAGGIE,LENA,FRANKIE,ZOE AND REESE. I NEVER REALLY LIKE ZOE. I WISH MAGGIE IS BACK ON ALL MY CHILDREN.

I LOVE SEEING VIKI AND DORIAN’S FRIENDSHIP. IT LOOKS LIKE THEIR FEUD IS AT THE END. BOTH VIKI AND DORIAN ARE UP AGAINST ECHO. ECHO JUST STOLEN CHARLIE AWAY FROM VIKI. THAT MAKE ME MAD.

I NEVER FORGET DIXIE ON ALL MY CHILDREN. I’M STILL A HUGE FAN OF HER’S. I LOVE JAMIE JUSTIN BUELDING. I MISS HIM. I WISH HE COULD COME BACK AND HELP JR TO WIN BACK HIS FAMILY.

WHAT’S UP WITH JAMES ON ONE LIFE TO LIVE. WHY IS HE BEING SO NICE TO HIS EX GIRL FRIEND. I HATE HER ALREADY. SHE IS GOING TO TRY TO GET RID OF STARR. I HAVE A BAD FEELING.

ONE LIFE TO LIVE HAD SO MANY DRUG STORY LINES. COLE HAD A PROBLEM WITH DRUGS SO DID AL HOLDEN. SAME WITH RACHEL.

I HOPE TESS WILL GO AFTER DEENA AND MAKE HER GET OUT JAMES’S LIFE.

I MISS TODD’S PARROT. I WAS SO COLORFUL AND SO FUNNY. I THINK TODD SHOULD GET A NEW ONE. I ALSO MISS MONA BIGLOW. SHE AND TODD USE TO WORK TOGETHER. THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS. I’M HAPPY TO SEE TODD AND TEA BACK TOGETHER.

SINCE SUSAN HASKELL IS LEAVING MAN I’M GOING TO MISS HER. I THINK IT IS TIME TO BRING BACK LINDA DANO. RAE CUMMINGS AND JOHN BOLGER AS JOHN SKYES. I LOVE HIM.

STICKNEY AND JUSTIS BOLDING. BRING BACK THE PAST.

JAMES DEPAIVA NEEDS TO COME BACK TOO AND KAMAR DE LOS REYES NEEDS TO COME BACK. I THINK MARK LAWSON SHOULD BE FIRED. SAME WITH MELISSA ARCHER.

I THINK THAT RENEE SHOULD HAVE A STORY LINE. I HAVEN’T SEEN MUCH OF HER LATELY SAME WITH CARLOTTA.

I WISH THAT ALL MY CHILDREN COULD BRING EDMUND AND TREVOR. I MISS THEM. I WAS GOING TO QUIT WATCHING ALL MY CHILDREN WHEN THEY WERE KILLED OFF. I JUST LOVE THEM. I STILL LOVE JAMES MITCHELL. I MISS HIM AS PALMER.

WHERE IS NATE AND INEZ. I HAVEN’T SEEN THEM AT ALL ON ONE LIFE TO LIVE. THEY NEED A STORY LINE.

I HAVEN’T SEEN MUCH OF THE ULTA VIOLET BAR LATELY. THE COOPERCONE BAR IS GREAT. I LOVE THE RIODIES BAR. I LOVED SEEING MAX AS THE MANAGER. WHY JOHN MC’BAIN. HE SUCKS. I LOVED THE CROSSROADS BAR AND THE BREAK BAR WHERE WILL AND JESSICA LIVED. I DID LOVED INGO BAR WHEN RJ OWNED IT.

II’M TIRED OF SEEING TUC WALKINS LEAVING ONE LIFE TO LIVE. HE JUST MARRIED DORIAN AND HE HAS A FAMILY. HE IS BO’S SON. IT’S ABOUT TIME TO GET A LIFE. STOP WITH GOING’S AND DO MORE OF THE COMINGS. KEEP TUC WALKINS. I LOVE HIM. I REMEMBER WHEN DREW WAS KILLED OFF I WASN’T SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
