Pretty much, ABC is trying to prove a point by keeping The Repulsion. We all know that no matter how bad the show was tanking, it would at least survive a while season. Cause who likes being proven wrong. Its okay though, we didn’t need a mid season canceling, we let the numbers do the talking and watch its own demise with a smile on our face. At least thats my opinion…

Well the ratings continue to prove Frons wrong….the soap viewers will NOT be trained to watch what ever trash ABC/Disney Daytime shows they have on instead of our beloved soaps. ABC/Disney executive need to own up to the mistake of cancelling the beloved AMC/OLTL shows & get them back in their original timeslot & leave GH alone.

Shoot it!! Take it out of it’s misery!!

Cancel The Revolution….Bring back OLTL, which was the #1 ABC soap, keep GH at 3:00….Katie at 4:00. The way things are going…If OLTL & AMC are not brought back…no soap fan will be watching Couric. She will done b/4 she even starts. OH well, ABCD doesn’t care….it’s quite obvious.

There should be no question on the fall lineup. The Revolution must be cancelled and GH should take it’s time slot. A strong lead-in for GH would be OLTL at 1:00 but we know ABC won’t make another smart decision and canel the Chew as well.

There may be one justifiable reason….ABC/D guaranteed the Revulsion 200 shows. They haven’t scratched 50 yet. SMDH every time I think what an idiot Frons was to cancel our soaps! This is going to be something to witness as it plays out. In the meantime, we MUST SUPPORT GENERAL HOSPITAL!!!! And, Tell others to do it too!

The Revolution is pathetic, ratings killer. Get rid of it already

Biiiiiiiig Smile!!!!! Thanks for the great news! “ABC’s troubles worsened in daytime talk with The Revolution sinking to another series low and The Chew off by noticeable percentages from year-ago occupant All My Children.” AHEM!!!! Disney stockholders…Are you listening to the viewers? We’re not happy! What are you gonna do about it?????? Oh….. Right! And sponsors????? Where are you???? Are you listening to the audience? Oh. I’m sorry. There is no audience. Hmmmm. What are you gonna do?????

I’m confident GH will survive and The Revolution will be over; however people need to start tuning into GH. Bringing on OLTL characters or bringing back veteran GH characters doesn’t mean squat if people aren’t tuning in! Watch GH and the ratings will speak for themselves.

I can’t believe after the hit or should I say slap that ABC got over the cancellation of OLTL how can they even consider cancelling GH. I have watched OLTL and GH since 1968. Soap fans are still there but we have to work or do you really want us on Welfare and staying home to watch? I don’t think so. So I, like many millions of other soap fans, tape or DVR our show and watch at night. I work hard and pay taxes so that means I am penalized and have to give up my favorite shows. If GH goes I will not watch another show day or night on ABC. I will switch channels! ABC wants to go to all news and reality TV and doesn’t care at all about the viewers. When they are at the bottom of the Nielson ratings again and again and lose sponsors left and right, then we’ll see who has the last laugh.

They think everything will be ok if they wait long enough & keep GH & Katie we will quit the boycott–WRONG. We want our stories back not story . OLTL had the better of all with ratings. We will stand behind our soap operas. We want entertainment. We are not all kids. They forget its not kids that pays for the programing. Mine still doesn’t & she is 35. I will cut ABC & Disney off if thats what the fans want. I’m also boycotting the advertisers that do ads on the 2 dumb shows. Money won’t get you into heaven. I asked my husband how much money do they need? His answer–Just a little bit more. At the cost to us the viewers.

Neilson Schmeilson. I have never had any faith in that rating system. it’s antiquated and it needs to go. there is no way in hell over 1,000,000 people are watching that crappy show

Just Sad! I have to admit that I only briefly watched OLTL during the days of Marco Dane/Karen Wolek. My sister watched and I got to know it quite by chance. She switched to ATWT or changed the channel during commercials. I don’t remember really, when or how… but I know that I got hooked at some point on the Douglas Cummings/Kim Hughes goings on at ATWT, so I started watching and watched until the day Dr. Bob Hughes turned off the lights in his office. I Just know that the only soap I watch in about 20 minutes these days is Y & R. I am excited about General Hospital and seeing my favorites return…but everytime I check TIVO to see what is coming up…it just sounds boring, so I have yet to watch GH. I am sad to see what is happening with the writing and plans for soaps now. I miss Douglas Marland’s creative mind and ability to blend new families in…i.e…Hughes/Snyder. I think he may have had a hand in the Quartermaine’s (sp) on GH as well, point being…really great writing is missing from ALL soaps these days. Who can’t write in a mob story like GH and Y/R after watching some good movies?

Maybe I am just an old fart who likes real stories like they used to tell on ATWT and Edge Of Night. Yes kiddies, there were really good soaps once where writers told really good stories.

Sad to say, the writers and producers have no imagination these days…so that will save me an hour or so to enjoy sitting on my outdoor patio in the evening after work and enjoying some really good fresh air. Too bad it is so hot already. Oh well, I have already gotten to know some of my neighbors better. I might have more fun getting to know their stories. Maybe I can write my own soap in a couple of years!

Different divisions of Disney, but there’s Revolution and John Carter making big losses for the company.

There is NO justifiable reason this should stay on the air. Stupidity, arrogance, stubbornness are neither reasonable nor profitable (but ABCD may not understand this). It’s a television atrocity that The Revolution continues to be broadcast and that our beloved OLTL is gone, but The Revolution will continue because ABC has nothing to replace it now. The Revolution will die when Katie starts, but its termination will be a hollow victory for Llanview lovers. Nothing will ever compensate for the loss of OLTL except its resurrection.

Justin: What the hell are you talking about? How can you even comment without watching the shows mentioned. ATWT has been gone for a couple of years now. EON? Please! I used to watch Edge as well when it was part of abc’s daytime lineup. The stories told then were good ( no doubt. BUT……GH has the best team in daytime today. Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati are like the dynamic duo of daytime. The way they have turned GH around in 2 months is nothing short of amazing. GH has some of the most talented daytime actors out there and day after day they are putting their heart and soul into saving their show. Instead of bitching about what was, try and help save a genre that is an american institution.

I think a Revolution cancellation is on the horizon!

I can’t imagine how the suits at ABC must be dealing with the Revolution mess. How do you justify and explain the loss of HALF of your viewership, literally overnight. Sorry Frons, television psychology is not your calling. SOAP VIEWERS CANNOT BE TRAINED!!! I’ve said all along, if ABC had so much faith that Katie will be the next Oprah then put her show on at 4:00!!! Bring back OLTL, save GH!.
ABC flunkies who are reading these posts, I mean what I’ve said on several different boards; I have never watched an episode of the Chew or Revolution and NEVER intend to. IF you cancel GH I refuse to watch Katie’s show as well.
Justin you are right on many points, however this is the time for soap fans to watch as many shows as possible, give the new writing teams a chance.

I can’t understand how this many people watch this stupid show. I hope ABC goes black for what they did to AMC and OLTL. ABC really needs a change at the top.

NO! The Revulsion should be cancelled today. I can’t help buy wonder what the cast & crew of OLTL are thinking about this.

I spotted a CNN article the other day regarding how ABC is destroying daytime tv w/their cheap and unwatchable talk shows. Now I’ve come upon a Forbes article.

Enjoy the read. I sures hell did!!!!

My favorite of all soaps was OLTL. I know most people want General Hospital to move to the 3 p.m. time; however, I fell it will be a slap in the face to some of the OLTL viewers. For OLTL to get cut to be replaced by another soap makes me very unhappy.

The only show I watch on ABCDaytime is GH. I honestly no interest in watching talk, reality, reality makeover, cooking or game shows. Does anybody want to be told publicly that there’s somerthing wrong with them that needs to be fixed? I certainly don’t

Ty Pennington should’ve stayed with Exteme Makeover: Home Edition.

ABC, please let us have our soaps back. I wonder if the people that ABCDaytime polled even watched Daytime soaps?

I miss my soaps and will not watch these other shows that took my shows off the air. Miss them. BRING THEM BACK ABC DISNEY. Will never watch these shows period.

Is this a surprise to anyone? Even the commercials scream no one cares. Now they are making a daytime division in NYC about basically the same premise as the freaking Revulsion. The boycotting will continue forever unless ABC does something positive that the viewers want. We are not idiots who want to be dictated to as to how to live.

The other good news is The Chew is down too: “The Chew also lost steam, with 2.14 million viewers down 10 percent from All My Children. Female demo losses for The Chew were as high as 25 percent among women 18-49.”

If i am correct and i want someone to correct me if i am wrong advertisers are going to pay ABC less money for a commercial to have a commercial on the Revolution because of the low ratings of the show compared to a commercial that would be on One Life to Live if it were still on the air.I also think if the Revolution were cancelled i seriously dont think the audience of that show would really care as it has low ratings and it hasnt have been on long enough to have a loyal following compared to the people that watch One Life To Live in a lot of cases for decades since it started on ABC.

I have no faith in ABC/D. Won’t believe GH is safe until I see it. Iger just received a raise from the stockholders for being an idiot. If that doesn’t tell you something is rotten in the mouse house nothing will.

It was an awful decision for ABC to cancel One Life to Live, replacing it with the ridiculous Revolution show adds insult to injury. The insultingly condescending undertone of advertising the show as “It’s all about you” seems to indicate that ABC has little respect for the intelligence or character of their daytime viewers and decided it’s duty was to cease entertainment in favor of programming dedicated to fixing what they perceive to be the problems of their audience (diet, weight loss and for the true genius, instructions on “shopping” in your own closet). Of course, it’s really all about money and making the cheapest show possible, likewise for that bunch they have chewing away on the Chew. If I am hungry, I make myself something to eat, I don’t turn on the TV to watch other people eat and yap and carry on about nonsense.
To end on a positive note, GH has been excellent lately, hopefully ABC will have the good sense to keep the one good show it has left!

I won’t and don’t even turn on ABC until General Hospital comes on and I turn it off right after it goes off. I Miss my soaps and have absolutely no respect for a broadcast company that obviously has no respect for it’s viewers opinions. They were warned and are now suffering the consequences. PUT THE SOAPS BACK WHERE THEY BELONG!
