All My Children and Guiding Light Vet, Gil Rogers Passes Away
Well, this saddens me as I have been regularly watching the shows on FX Canada and enjoying every second. I purchased a multi-pass on itunes for the next 20 episodes, but I have to say, if a free option is not brought to Canada I will likely bow out eventually. I love both shows, and even more since (as far as I’m concerned) the writing has improved vastly. BUT… Fifty bucks for 100 episodes seems like a lot overall. I hope that PP is working on another option and am sticking with it for now. I guess I’ll see what… Read more »
I am truly becoming scared that this project is in serious trouble. I will be beyond devastated if it all falls apart and all of those ill wishers are proven right. I myself watch the episodes here in the states on Hulu plus as well as purchase episodes on Itunes. I do not understand what couldbbe going wrong, any business model takes into consideration every conceivable possiblity before launch, was this launch before being truly ready? The news we have been receiving lately makes it a challenge for loyal fans of both shows to keep the faith.
It is in serious trouble. Next will be US fans having to pay then cancellation this summer. The lawsuit against ABC & the timing was fishy. The episode changes per week were troubling. This news just proves PP doesn’t know what it is doing.
You have no idea what you’re talking about
No, she’s pretty much right on the money.
They should have started out with fewer episodes then increased them. I really think this puts them in jeopardy. People could lose interest and Hulu and iTunes could drop them. And it really sucks that we lost John Starr and Todd on GH because of a show that now only airs 2x a week.
agree wiht you 200%.. It”s like they are teasing us !!
I’m already losing interest. I bet a lot of people are, too. I haven’t even watched today’s and its usually the first thing I do. I was so excited the first couple of weeks but its going to be too slow paced to enjoy it now. I’ll still watch for now, but I don’t see it lasting and keeping the momentum of the last 3 weeks. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!
Nice way to try to spin this. The good news is that you can pay for the shows Canadian fans instead of watching them for free! Aren’t you happy? This is ridiculous. First PP sues ABC in an attempt to get more money, now they lower their episode count knowing full well this will affect their contract with FX Canada and inconvenience their fans. Is PP that desperate for cash???? Regardless of how this gets spun, PP has no idea what they are doing or is looking for a short term cash infusion. This will not be a long term… Read more »
There has never been a free option in Canada…..maybe you were lucky enough to already be paying a TV package that included the channel so it made no difference to you, but many had to pay extra to upgrade packages, get cable boxes, switch providers etc.
Lisa, you are incorrect. FX Canada was free with Shaw basic digital cable service. I too had it included with my cable on FX Canada channel 156 at no additional charge ever. I called shaw to make sure this was not just a promotion and no it is part of your regular cable package. Very few people in this day and age do not already have digital tv in Canada so yes but same as ABC you were paying a Cable provider somewhere.But point is it was on cable this was excellent! This was how I watched every day as… Read more »
Lindy, I am not incorrect as FX Canada cost me $100 cancellation fee with Bell, a set up fee with Rogers and more. Several people have said they had to pay to upgrade their packages as with companies like Rogers FX Canada is part of the VIP cable package and they only had the basic package. So while it may have been free to you as your cable bill already included the station, which you’re lucky it was, for many this was not the case and they saw an increase to their monthly cable bill just to get the channel… Read more »
Yes it was never free in Canada . Hook- up fee of $100 , then box rental of $74.85 plus specialty pkg. of 29.85 every three mths.
This doesnt sound good…if fx canada drops the reboots it seems doubtful a u.s. cable will pick up the reboots in sept….i hope im wrong but this isnt a good sign…i feel cancellation by end of the year…!!!
i knew something was wrong when they lost one of the writers early on…
The first problem with the reboots is they took too long coming back and some viewers lost interest. Second soaps need network exposure…not everyone has internet. The fox network shouldve aired these reboots exactly the way pp planned them…actor pay cuts, filmed in conneticut, and aired 4 times a week with FRi airing a recap storyline of each show…the cursing, explicit sex scenes, should be dropped to attract the viewers who did not tune in because of it. Cut the gloominess and violence in half(the mob violence under guza nearly killed gh) replace this with more family drama, romance and… Read more »
Also how about some in place advertising…oltl could show Jeffry and Destiny at a Subway or Mcdonalds and Janes on amc could serve coke or pepsi products…i know these shows already seem to have too long commercial breaks but the added in place advertising could generate more money profit for these shows which is greatly needed…
Also publicity gimmicks like Jcows guest appearances as Shelters bartender should be dropped, and it would save pp some money as well…get a cheaper extra for the part.
I agree with pretty much everything u said. I had been thinking of Phil & Tara, Jenny and Greg, etc. too
jenny greg angie and jesse and tad the cad…those were good memories too…they just cant write the soaps the way they used to…the best we got is rc at gh…he falters here and there at times but still manages to keep me entertained.
Amen to each and everything you wrote! It’s nice to know someone shares my opinion of the show’s direction exactly. Yes, it was a wonderful escape each and every day . Thank you for your wise and intelligent view on these matters. Yes, indeed, “All My Children” certainly had it going on back in the day!!!
First of all, I don’t blame FX Canada for deciding to discontinue airing AMC and OLTL. I was so grateful to them for taking this on and being able to actually view on my television rather than on line. It was like a dream come true! Wow, it was great while it lasted but Prospect Park shamefully did not fulfill their part of the contract. I think this turn of events by PP causes me to be more saddened than when the shows were cancelled in 2011 and that’s saying a lot! I’m not ashamed to admit I was devastated… Read more »
My sentiments exactly! I watched both shows since the beginning and when they were cancelled, I lost my best friends; I was devastated. I was thrilled FX was hosting them and signed up for that channel immediately. I can’t afford iTunes so I’m devastated again and have a channel I will no longer watch. So sad.
I think the first problem with the reboots was PP biting off more than they could chew. I read the suggestion here – they should have kept OLers on GH and launched AMC while still receiving revenue from ABC for leasing the 3 OL characters. It was silly to launch both shows at once & even sillier to sue ABC right before the launch. It reeked of desperation and made it seem like the programs were already in danger. They could have launched O L after the AMC launch, after they began making a profit.
PP lawsuit was a big mistake…they argued gh wrote for the ol characters without their consent and gh had to write them off as if they were never there but then the oltl storylines included what mostly happen with the Todd baby switch storyline anyway! At first i put most blame on abc but now pp are the biggest idiots here…they shouldve allowed all three characters continue on gh, and used them on oltl when they were needed…both shows couldve benefitted from crossover storylines as some fans wouldve followed John, Todd and Starr on both shows…John and Natalie couldve appeared… Read more »
In my opinion, for the shows to succeed, Hulu should be viewable, legally in Canada, until then….. Firefox + Media Hint = Hulu.
Iceberg dead ahead!
this is way too soon for everything to be crumbling. something’s amiss…
Well, I guess I have watched the last of these shows. I pay enough for cable and internet as it is, not going to pay iTunes to watch. Was a faithful viewer of both shows on FXCanada. Thank you, Prospect Park for taking them away from us, yet again. For those of you fans in the U.S.A., get ready, cause this is the beginning of the end.
Shut the hell up!
That sucks for Canadian fans. Hopefully this will change in a year when PP is able to keep up with the demand.
I CAN NOTa fford and will not be viewing the soaps on ITunes.
I will be downloading the new episodes on iTunes as soon as they become available, still waiting for today’s episode to be posted. However still disappointed and upset over the fact that myself and many people had to pay a lot of money to switch providers (contract fees are $100 alone) and that was only good for three weeks.
I can’t afford to watch them via iTunes and am heartbroken FX Canada removed them… I HAD to have this channel when I found out FX Canada was hosting them, now I have a channel I no longer care to watch ever again!
Sorry FX Canada, it was you I was blaming for no longer hosting my soaps but as I’ve read comments here, I see that it is PP I should be blaming. However, when it’s all said and done, I no longer have soaps to watch so I’m the loser in all of this. I’m losing my bf’s once again.
I am so disappointed that AMC has been removed from FX Canada. I was so enjoying watching it again. I have been watching since it started and it became part of my life. First it is cut back to 2 episodes a week and then taken of FX. I am not sure what I will do now. Are we going to lose AMC again?
these dumbass kiddie story lines are what killed oltl in the first place! there are so many talented older actors on the show that dont get nearly enough story lines! they should also learn that the annoying music they play drowns out the characters voices and makes people want to turn their computers off, not watch!
Amen to that!
Come on have faith and be happy w what we have! 2.00 a show is cheaper then going to the movies! Whether it took a year or two we HAVE THEM BACK!
If you want to send me the $8/week, then I will gladly watch on ITunes. Personally, I can’t afford it.
I’m right there with u on cost situation. That’s $400 + per year – that would take me to a lot of movies ! Sad to say I’m gone as a viewer unless its back in TV or free thru the Internet. This totally sucks. Some said it perfectly earlier – ice berg dead ahead !
That is 2.00 for 20 min. (minus the commercials)! Too rich for me. Unfortunately it is dead for me unless it is brought back to cable, which I pay dearly for already!
this stinks fdor the Canadian viewers. If some one is one a tight budget they will not be able to view it. I know I would not be able to. But I am loving the show!
I was watching both soaps on FX Canada. It was great seeing them on television again. It is really unfortunate that FX Canada has decided not to continue with these soaps. I will not be paying to view them through iTunes. Hopefully, there is an outlet where us Canadians can view for free.
No matter what happens, and I hope OLTL survives, I think all the actors were there and present ready to make this work. OLTL was suppose to be set in real time, a year and a half from where ABC’s ended… they failed to say that there would be no expiations as to Victor, Starr, Jessica, and John. I think this left a big hole in the first two weeks of the reboot. It seemed OLTL was finally starting to get some stories of their own going, but it should make the most of the time that is left to… Read more »
I am so ticked off as I pay so much for my cable and internet and can not pay any extra !!!!! I was enjoying the 2 programs as well as the others on fx canada I will no longer watch that channel !!!!!
I’m not sure why you are pissed at FX Canada. They entered into an agreement with Prospect Park for so many episodes a week, it was not fX Canada that cut down to 2 episodes a week, it was Prospect Park.
Something is really wrong here. I’m afraid to get too invested now. What could have happened in 2 short weeks that made everything crumble? Whole thing is absurd. I think that prospect has to be totally honest with us. Their survey had no validity in such a short time frame. I feel bad for the actors . i think they were stunned by this also. Although I have to believe they were warned of this before it went public. So will someone out there let us know what gives.
That’s exactly how I feel. This is disgraceful to the fans and to the actors/film crew to reboot this whole thing – for what? I don’t trust PP to make sound business decisions. When ABC cancelled AMC the fittest time around – on principal I stopped watching ABC entirely. So ultimately they lost me at the expense of all their other shows because I banned their entire network. I’ve watched AMC for 40 years. This whole thing disgusts me. ***if anyone remotely connected with the show reads all of the comments here, then you should make sure the powers that… Read more »
Angela I also have banned ABC/ Disney. PP has always been connected to ABC. I think they are just using this as a tax write-off.
As of last Thursday, I stopped watching. Lost interest in the storylines and unfortunately, for me, they are not getting better only worse. And now with all this backstage drama going on, it does not bode well for the future of this endeavor. It was a noble experiment but I don’t see them making any changes that we actually bring viewer in – just drive them away.
totally agree
Me too! I was disappointed with the story lines and was hoping that the were still setting the stage for more juicy, intriguing plots. I guess we will never know in Canada unless we PAY.
I specifically added FX Canada to my cable package so I could watch AMC and OLTL. They have both been fantastic. I really like the pace and story lines. I will remove FX Canada and go to iTunes to view. Is there any possibility of Netfix Canada? On Hulu in the US how long can you access shows? Just wondering.
I’m in Canada and i watch on hulu…for free….all i did was download Hola unblocker…which is FREE and it makes Hulu think you are in the US. Easy as that!
please tell me how to do this! I’m in Canada too and I have been watching both these shows since the beginning, I’m so upset FX Canada will no longer host them.
just add Media Hint to your firefox or chrome browser… does not work with any other browsers.
I will continue watching both shows online and I hope everyone else supports both shows also.
I have said from the beginning that I would be willing to pay a subscription fee. When I heard PP got sponsors to help offset any cost for the viewers, I was thrilled obviously, but mentally I was prepared all along to fork over a little money. But then I didn’t know what was happening here in Canada, until voila, FX Canada came in and saved the day….which, for me, was no additional charge since I already have a box that gives me those higher channels. Total wIn-win! Now that I’m going back to plan A, I am still ready… Read more »
Just want to add, I put my money where their mouth is. I am now subscribed on iTunes Canada. Also, as unhappy as Canadians may be at this news, try and keep in mind the bigger picture. A year and a half ago, we were all so upset that ABC could just toss away our soaps like the last 40+ years meant diddly squat. Don’t let this news make you feel as badly as that did then because they’re not the same news! Nothing is dead, no one is pulling the plug. Just keep supporting the shows! In ANY way… Read more »
Wow, the ship is gong down faster than I predicted. I do not know a single person talking about these reboots. I do not know anyone talking about daytime soaps like they used to years ago. Oprah was right and as a long time fan of all my children it pains me to say that. I decided against watching as the shows will not last. Will they have enough money to edit what has already been filmed. When will the checks start bouncing.
I was viewing AMC on FXCanada every eposide including Friday.I was so sad to think I may lose AMC again. Happy I have found them on itunes.
I feel sorry for the fans that signed up for FXCanada to have them cancelled. PP is to blame and I have a strange feeling about all this.
PP big mistake was its lawsuit against abc…they shouldve allowed GH keep the characters of John, Todd, and Starr, especially since oltl used most of their gh storyline anyway…plus it was good publicity for both shows with the crossover references…now pp is the biggest looser here. what abc shouldve done was air the 30 minute reboots for 6 months from sept. to jan. then aired the chew from feb. to august. with oltl and amc returning every 6 months with new episodes…and then the chew would air for six months with its new episodes ect.
I have to say I think I’m done…I was over the moon when it was announced that FX Canada was going to carry the shows.
But with the scale back now ,I don’t think I’m going to bother.
Oh yes, the scale back! Do they really think we are all so naive to believe what they are trying to insinuate as to the reason for this turn of events? Here we were all being teased about the prospect of many of our favourite actors returning to the show. Why would they??? How can one expect any of them to have any meaningful story line when there is simply not enough time to devote to them. Can you even imagine, Erica, Jack, Tad, Kendall, Crystal, Jake, Amanda, just to name a few rejoining a show that is on twice… Read more »
I agree. The marketing logic of PP escapes me. They should be trying to get these two shows out to every free medium they can possibly get their hands on. Not trying to sell the shows direct to the viewers thru iTunes & the like. The shows should be making their money on advertising sponsorships. Various sites display the show and viewers end up buying something thru the site = advertising dollars = air time. The more viewers the more sales. It’s a simple concept really. Whomever they have in their marketing dept should be fired. A few small changes… Read more »
WHAT! Only 1 hour a week? hum scary. So they why could we not have Todd, Star and John back on General Hospital it sound like there isn’t going to be much room to tell the stories of all the Characters it 2 episode a week??? 🙁
So disappointed at the recent events and many changes. I must admit I wasn’t happy to see FX Channel had the rights to AMC and OLTL solely. I am hoping this will lead to another station picking this up if not before but definitely by Sept.
I was really enjoying them on FXCanada, so I’m disappointed. I’m a Shaw subscriber, so that channel was already included in my digital package. I bought the multipack for both AMC & OLTL on iTunes, but it’s now 6pm Mountain time and today’s AMC is not yet available, which is ridiculous. I’ve canceled the automatic renewal on iTunes Canada as I won’t be watching via them if that’s the kind of service they’re going to provide. Instead I’ve downloaded Spotflux and have signed up for hulu.com Congrats Prospect Park, you’ve turned a lot of Canadians into illegal downloaders 😉
I’m devastated to find out that FX Canada will no longer be hosting AMC and OLTL. Please bring them back, please! It was perfect the way they were playing, I could catch it 3 times a day; if I missed the noon time episodes I could catch them at 5:00pm or 4 am. This worked perfect. Please, I don’t want to loose them again, have a heart… PLEASE!
I watched on FX Canada. I will definitely not be paying to watch online since my cable bill is already enough. If it comes back to tv I will be happy to watch.
What a disappointment! Hopefully something can be worked out with FX Canada to bring the shows back. It looks like I won’t be watching the show. For the computer novices out there (like myself who barely know how to retrieve emails) I’m sure most of us won’t be seeing the shows on ITunes. Just when things were getting interesting. I thought the ratings were supposed to be good?
I was so saddened to find out that I just added the fx package to my already high cable bill just so that I could watch my beloved All My Children again only to find that they have now taken it away from us again. This show has been the perfect escape from my life. For one hour a day to nothing to 1/2hr to nothing again. My heart goes out to all of the Canadian fans. I guess we just are not important enough. SO SAD! I will now have to cancel FX that I just signed up for.… Read more »
Why couldn’t they just show AMC/OLTL from noon to 12:30 p.m. followed by 30 Rock from 12:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.?
Who watches reruns of 30 Rock? If you didn’t watch before they ended I’m sure there are no viewers at 12:00 or 12:30…
Exactly. So FX Canada should continue to show the PP offering from noon to 12:30 p.m. weekdays, along with I-tunes for those without cable. I’m tired of childish corporate responses.
Wow – after three weeks, the shows release cycle has been cut in half, and they’ve lost their Canadian distribution platform. Clearly, the number of people streaming and downloading are coming in FAR lower than Prospect Park ever anticipated. That’s the thing with internet distribution – the numbers are exact, and aren’t disputable (unlike TV ratings, which take a sample and extrapolate). My guess is that the shows won’t go back into production in August.
I am so disappointed that AMC has been cancelled on FX Canada. I was so excited to see this show again, but will not be paying a premium on ITunes to see it. Please bring it back…..Thanks.
I got myself and other fans to subscribe to FX Canada specifically for the 2 soaps! No sense pinning a channel on one’s show as they are more and more proven unreliable. They didn’t even give them a timely fair shake for viewers to come back!
I was so happy to have OLTL back and was able to watch FX for free as part of my cable package. Would have continued to watch, but will not pay iTunes to watch which means I cannot support my fave show. So sad.
Really disappointed losing AMC all over again… Bought the newest Shaw Direct recordable receiver PVR630 $299.00 because AMC could only be viewed on FX Canada with this newest satelite receiver and now it’s cancelled.
You can’t change your minds like a yoyo, promise episodes then cancel.
I guess this is the trend nowadays, like marriage, you promise to stay together then all of a sudden it’s over.
That just totally sucks!! I had to buy an additional package to get FX Canada to watch OLTL and AMC. but now I am cancelling it. Watching through itunes will be too expensive. Come on get your S**T together. I am a loyal fan and not impressed
I think that what fx did was totally uncalled for… They said.. Isn”t it funny that it”s alway someting that they do not want to take the blame for . Therefore they always say that it was something beyond their control That is a lot of rubbish Last and formost I just wanted to say that there are a lots of programmes on fx that make no sense… I AM ONE ANGRY WOMEN !!!!!!!!
you should all be ashamed of yourselves.. Bring back ALL My children and ONe life to live !!!!!!!
I am extremely disappointed…..
Get this guys! Here I am a mature grown woman having raised three grown, wonderful children and now the mother of three dear, sweet kitties ( they are my babies now) and not to forget the fact that I do, indeed have a wonderful husband with whom I have shared almost 40 years of marriage. Life surely has been good to me and continues to be so. However, just moments ago I found myself bursting into tears. This is not something I make a habit of doing but pride be darned. This whole business with “All My Children” has been… Read more »
I agree with the above comment. My sentiments exactly. Was a viewer since 1974 and was sad to lose both shows. I wrote to MoreAMC on the day Billy Clyde returned to welcome him back and also to thank them for airing on FX Canada. Well I guess this is good bye again to me as I am on a pension and will not be ordering from iTunes. So sad.
Well I can see these shows wont be around much longer.!!!!
I am very unhappy about this. I was a loyal viewer of AMC for 29 years before it was cancelled. I loved the show and it was part of my daily routine…eat my lunch while watching it. It was difficult adjusting to life without it! However, I did and accepted that it was gone. THEN it comes back! And on TV too! Yes, it was only half an hour but better than nothing. THEN I have it yanked away from me again. Despite how I feel about the show, I refuse to pay the ridiculous fee iTunes wants to charge.… Read more »
This sucks!!!!!!! I am a long time fan and was very sad when it was cancelled. I have been watching faithfully everyday on FXCanada. Now??? Well I guess I get to go without because we all don’t have the luxury of being able to afford it online!!!!!!!
So I guess it’s farewell to Pine Valley and Llanview for me!!!
Was so pleased when I heard All My Children was on Cogeco cable 410 fx Canada that I subscribed to this station but now it has been removed I think I no longer like this station. I can watch it when I am in the USA online but in Canada they want to chage me extra again to watch it. What ‘s next.?
I feel when they took it off ABC and put on some dumb cooking show I refused to what ABC in this time slot.
All my kids growing up which are considered the younger generation grew to love this show.. My husband would not go out if he had to miss the show. Sorry they had to cancel it.
