I don’t watch tv for talk or reality, I watch it to escape. This will not be on my viewing schedule. The only show I record during the day is General Hospital. My nights are filled with fun and fantasy – Burn Notice, Dallas, Bones, Once Upon A Time, Castle, Greys Anatomy, Psych, Grimm and Blue Bloods. If I want reality, I can just look around, and if I want talk, I’ll call a friend.

I don’t and won’t watch more talk/reality on ABC!! I want to watch my soaps., I have not watched ABC’s daytime programs in MONTHS. Sorry Katie won’t be watching you either. ABC has brought daytime television to such a low. Without AMC and OLTL I just don’t see ABC’s daytime shows ever making it. They will ALL fail ABC!!

Sorry Katie but you backed up the wrong network. ABCD lost a tremendous ammount of loyal viewers by removeing 2..NOT 1 but 2 soaps in 1 day. Without the soaps or scripted drama’s or seriels …what ever the world want to call them but they are called soaps to us LOYAL viewers you will not succeed.

I will never watch Katie Couric unless she has GH for her lead in.
And in all honesty; (a word that is not in ABC/D’s vocabulary)
I probably wouldn’t watch her even then.
I don’t like TALK SHOWS, I LOVE SOAP OPERAS.
GENERAL HOSPITAL WITH THE ADDED CHARACTERS FROM OLTL
ROCKS.
Katie, I don’t care whose ‘glasses’ you like
BTW, if a blind person was offered 1 hour of sight to see your show, they wouldn’t want

Okay… I have nothing against Katie Couric or anything. But if it’s going to be in GH’s timeslot… WHERE WILL GH BE??! I thought GH was given another year of airtime. But September is right around the corner. 🙁 What’s going to happen to GH? I just lost OLTL, and can’t lose another show in the same year!

Elhu

The information given, and hopefully still holds true is that GH will be moved to 2pm, and will be the lead-in for Katie’s show.

Christine

That’s what I am hearing too. I am also hearing that is why there are going to be FIXED OLTL sets on GH come this September when GH takes OLTL’s old time slot.

We GH viewers need to stick together and help GH meet their numbers. Nothing is guaranteed.

It was officially announced by ABC Daytime in early April (maybe 10 or 11), the same time that they announced the cancellation of The Revolution (hooray)!!! So far, guaranteed 1 year, now we have to keep watching and get more viewers to watch, so we can go beyond GH’s 50th year!!!!!!

That’s what we all thought would happen but abc is now putting good afternoon america starting july 9 for 9 weeks if it does ok in the ratings they are going to keep it stupid katie couric starts in September, where does general hospital go?

Heather
Guest

BarbJ is right. ABC never said that GH was moving to the 2PM slot. People are just assuming that because that’s pretty much the only slot that is available for GH. But ABC never made any announcement at all about the future of GH ever since The Revolution got cancelled.

I think ABC is waiting to see how GAA performs this summer before making a decision about GH whether it be positive or negative.

barbara t
Guest
barbara t

That’s right abc never said general hospital would go to the 2 o’clock hour, that sweeney person said that what ever show was better in the ratings that was the show that would stay,The revolution was canceled so general hospital should get the 2 o’clock spot but abc/disney doesn’t want to commit to general hospital, If they were really interested in keeping it they would have renewed for longer then 1 year, that really means 6 months. If they announce gh is canceled now they know the ratings will go down, I believe abc is still playing head games with… Read more »

Who cares?Another stupid talk show where someone wants to promote there movie,book,diet or lifestyle going from one talk show to another.Daytime is getting worse by the day.Less scripted shows leaves you not wanting to come back.Bring back the soaps so I care to turn my tv on in the daytime.If it wasn’t for Generl Hospital I would either be watching DVRed shows are something on a movie channel.Talk and fake reality is ruining tv.

ABC is struggling with holding onto its da time viewers, there are hardly any with the exception of the soap watchers/fans of GH ….
since ABC/D killed off AMC and OLTL they killed off their daytime viewers with them.
ABC’s daytime is terrible and sinking without the viewers of the 2 killed soaps ..

Sorry Katie, I won’t be watching. ABC/D’s whole daytime lineup is talk/reality shows now, except for GH which I still watch and support.

Only bringing back AMC and OLTL will bring back the viewers!

No one want’s to see any more of those abc bozos in the afternoon where the soaps belong.

I think you are exactly right. ABC would gladly substitute the cheaper GAA for GH if GAA’s ratings were adequate, but they won’t be. Nobody is interested in the content of GAA that it will crash and burn like The Revolution. The same is true of Katie. People are sick to death of talk shows. Viewers don’t care about production cost cutting, executive bonuses, and shareholder profits. Viewers want scripted entertainment, not faked reality (as Mary said above). Katie’s promo shows nothing but her socializing with what appear to be average people in New York. There is nothing here to… Read more »

Like Katie, but hate the idea of this show. Her smile is too forced in this promo–I predict there will be little that’s new– just more celebrity gossip, people who have already been on countless other shows plugging their products, meaningless, shallow talk about stupid topics. From what little I see by accident, it seems that all the talking heads spend a lot of time on each other’s shows. Just a loop of self-referential blather. I recently witnessed about 5 minutes of The Talk before I could get away, and I couldn’t believe the stupidity of it all. They took… Read more »

If Kathie had half a brain, she would woman up and take that 4pm slot. She refused to go at the 4pm slot because she was scare to go against judge Judy. Well, Kathie Oprah survived judge Judy she didn’t survive the soap fans. But, hey she’ll accomplish to make history, she already have a hit club before her show air, and she tanked her show before it even air. Oprah is lonely, Kathie can go and keep her company.

If they lose enough viewers there will be no business left to generate revenue! If this does happen to them I hope I am around to see it. With more viewers they should regenerate more revenues for all involved. They could have made changes such as less expensive wardrobe items and less elaborate sets. They could have the actors work shorter hours to keep costs down. Working shorter hours they could pursue other work projects and still do the soaps. They could have done fewer episodes weekly making the budget friendlier alternative programming on the other days. Many possibilities could… Read more »

I agree with everything you wrote in your reply. From what I understand, talk/reality shows are so much less expensive to produce, around 40% less, that it is simply easier for networks to replace scripted dramas instead of intensely managing them to reduce costs. But ultimately this seems self-defeating for the reason you state. Viewership continues to decline, and it isn’t just because of more technological options or people working. Television is mostly unwatchable, in my opinion (except for PBS), because talk/reality shows resemble cesspools. But regardless of what garbage is broadcast, for example The Revolution, there exists an undiscriminating,… Read more »

I wonder how Katie will feel when her show is as dismal a failure as The Revolution. People are fed up with what’s being shoved down their throats and Katie is not what the audience is looking for. To put her in General Hospital’s time slot is going to be a double whammy against her. Of course we know ABC/D doesn’t care because she’s cheaper but her ego is going to take a beating as well as her reputation.

Katie at least went to the bosses and said she wanted General Hospital as her lead in……back before the Revolution was actually cancelled.

That’s right christine, she was protecting her own butt, she doesn’t want to hear the soap fans going after her for taking over the 3 o,clock spot that has belonged to general hospital for decades, so she said she wanted it for her lead in, I am sure Katie did her homework and doesn’t want to say anything stupid like that lab coat gal said with the apples and oranges comment.

They should move Katie to first run syndication, like Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil, and restore the schedule back to the way it was before they messed with it. Just remember who Katie’s new show’s producer is, Jeff Zucker. Jeff is the man who caused the NBC late night fiasco a few years ago, he was fired by a unanimous vote of the NBC Universal board of directors. Plus, most talk radio shows, except for non political ones, like Ryan Seacrest, Billy Bush, and Loveline with Dr. Drew, are being cancelled by local radio stations left and right.

GH’s Nicholas Chavez and Tabyana Ali to ‘Sprina’ Shippers: “Thank You For Not Only Being Fans, But Turning into Family”

The hottest young duo on daytime drama these days belongs to General Hospital.  The couple known as ‘Sprina’ played by Nicholas Chavez (Spencer) and Tabyana Ali (Trina), is being given plenty of non-stop intrigue and drama and romance, much to the delight of their fans, who just can’t get enough of them.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands everywhere Friday, Chavez and Ali weigh-in on all the latest developments and recent airshows including: the reading of Victor’s will, what to do about Esme and baby Ace, the action-adventure scenes in ‘Greenland’ and the Haunted Star, and most notably, that emotional leap from Trina into Spencer’s arms when he turned up alive!

Ali told SOD on her preparation for the moment: “I did a couple of jumps and held a baby, and that was about it!”

Courtesy/ABC

Chavez added, “That is my favorite ‘Sprina’ scene, Spencer is walking toward Trina and Trina breaks into a full sprint towards him, jumps into his arms and they kiss.  I’ve always wanted to do a moment like that, you know what I mean?” Ali said, “I really loved that scene, too. It was just so fulfilling.”

When addressing what each of them would like to say to their lively and constant fan base, Tabyana expressed; “I would just say we love you, we appreciate you, thank you for all of your support and thank you for not only being fans, but turning into family.”

Nick added, “I co-sign all of that. Every single word.”

So, if you are a ‘Sprina” fan, what makes this couple so special and swoon-worthy for you? What do you hope happens next for Trina and Spencer in story? Let us know in the comment section below.

B&B Alum Pierson Fodé in Consideration to be the Next ‘Superman’

This seems like it would be a great casting choice to us! According to a report in Variety, actor and model Pierson Fodé , the former Thomas Forrester of The Bold and the Beautiful, is in serious consideration to play Superman in the upcoming film Superman: Legacy.

Apparently, James Gunn told the outlet’s Senior Culture & Events Editor, Marc Malkin that, “The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has, but he’s also an alien.

Gunn added his take on just who will be the newest Clark Kent/ Superman,”We have some really great choices, which I’m excited about.” Back in March, James also revealed that he will be directing the upcoming film himself.
