Why can’t they just make a statement to the world that they made a mistake & misjudgment in cancelling our daytime dramas & bring them back? Everyone would be so happy!

I’d rather watch one life to live and all my children in daytime then have these new shows 🙂

Okayyyy…so soaps are dead but we’re putting a bunch of new ones on primetime? :0 Maybe I don’t make $30,000,000 a year, but even I know when ur talking out of both sides of ur a$$. What is wrong with ABC/Disney. OLTL had a proven audience base with absolutely no promotion or support from the network for years. I would watch it in primetime. If I wasn’t boycotting ABC I’d even try the new soaps. But i am boycotting ABC/disney and ALL things ABC/Disney. If you put the daytime soaps back on the soap fans will return. Get it now ABC? Audiences love, want, need scripted dramas. DUH!

I do have to admit that Revenge is a good show, but I stopped watching it !! No MORE ABC/Disney in my house no more !! As for the high fashion night time soap they want to show, I watch Bold & the Beautiful on CBS !! As for Nashville, I will watch Dallas when it comes back on TNT !! I also bought the DVDs to watch them also, Don’t need ABC shows !!!

You want to know what I think, Michael? I think ABC should admit they were wrong and bring back OLTL!! Revenge is a good show, and I’m happy about its success, but flooding the network with a bunch of primetime soaps doesn’t do a DAYUM thing for the fans of daytime. (And yes, I know I misspelled damn. I just wanted to put emphasis on the word….LOL)

ABC needs to recognize that the people that watch or watched ABC Daytime are the same people that watch or watched ABC Primetime. And unless they want the anger from the daytime fans to spill over into primetime, they need to fix their daytime situation and bring back OLTL!!

so abc s buying more prime time soaps ,thats where they are putting there money now,to hell with the daytime soaps and the soap fans,this is why I am also tuning out abc in the evening,brain frons said that people are not tuning into soaps any more,but they are planing on putting them on at night,abc heres a news flash these show will never last 40 some years ,I guess the idiots running abc dont care whether there afternoon shows make it or not.theres always another dumb show waiting to be picked up.

I don’t see why they just don’t bring back OLTL or AMC if they want to make new soaps.. None of those soaps sound good to me and I won’t be watching them, maybe Gilded Lillys sounds okay but the others sound like they have no meaning in the books at all.

I like this because I do love and watch Revenge. But I’m watching it under the assumption that it’s not going to be on for more then a few seasons. It has a plot that seems to have a main goal that has to end at some point.

ABC is crazy.. We don’t want new Soap Opera’s! We want our soaps back on even it they are in primetime..Why can’t they give the spots that they are putting all these new soaps in? If they are insistant on putting talk shows on daytime tv then but them in primetime. Or they need to do the right thing and give Agnes Nixon the rights to her shows back and let her move forward!

NO!! I will Not watch ANYTHING on ABC other than GH, They took 2 perfectly good soaps off the air for NO good reason and replaced them with CRAP!!! The least they could do is give Agnes her rights back so she can find homes for these beloved shows!!! Bring OUR ORGINAL SOAPS BACK!!!!

Still not willing to watch ABC/D, no matter how many lame nighttime soaps they put on. I want to see AMC and OLTL in the afternoon and much less reality/talk/makeover/cooking crap shows. I’d rather turn the TV off and read a book than watch the garbage that ABC/D thinks should be watched.

Answer: No. ABC and Disney have broken faith with their loyal viewership one too many times. We, our family and friends will continue boycotting all things Disney and ABC, until if and when OLTL and AMC are restored intact. Mr. Iger and Ms. Sweeney need to come clean with the public and make things right for once and for all. Or, release the rights to a party with the wherewithal to bring these shows back to their audiences. Then and only then can ABC and Disney begin salvaging their corporate reputations with the many millions of injured fans nationwide.

I will not be watching anything on ABC day or night since my soaps were cancelled.
ABC can cancel our soaps but now try to go back into nighttime soaps. Must be copying TNT since Dallas will be coming there soon.

Not “one” of them interests me… the only “one” that would, would be “ONE LIFE TO LIVE”

Please ABC, how many people need to say this before you make some sort of comment with regards to the public out cry in losing “OLTL?”

Soap fans don’t give a damn about the creation of weekly primetime soaps. They will never substitute for OLTL with daily shows year around. Primetime soaps seem so much more predictable, lacking the sentiment, creativity, and whimsical surprises of OLTL. Emily Thorne has as much passion as a rock compared to Tea and Victor/Todd. There are no interesting female friendships like Viki and Dorian or Blair and Tea. I will not watch Revenge or any other garbage created by ABC.

Forget you ABC/DISNEY….Will never watch your network again until you give Agnes Nixon the rights to OLTL and AMC…..YOU MADE A MISTAKE ABC/DISNEY !!!!!! The only show I will watch is GENERAL HOSPITAL !!!!!! I miss the news and some of your nightime programs (which ARE soaps). BUT I WILL NOT BACKDOWN !!!!! BOYCOTT ABC/DISNEY !!!!!!!

I am sorry, as much as I like the soap opera format, vrs the trash they are putting on ABC these days, I will NOT watch any of the ABC nighttime dramas! They cancelled Desperate Housewives & Brothers And Sisters, and I will not watch their replacement shows. Other than GH, I am DONE with ABC. They were wrong to cancel AMC and OLTL at the same time. It was a slap in the face. They shouldn’t have been cancelled at all! Goodbye ABC!

No way! Unless they fix the mess of AMC-OLTL and dump the Chew/The Revolution, ABCD will no longer be turned on by me.

I can not, will not watch ABC daytime nor nighttime since they took AMC and OLTL off air. I give ABC 1 hour a day, for GH. I use to watch almost everything ABC. News, shows, day and night. No GMA, no news, nothing. I hope still-that ABC will make this right. If not their lose which they are seeing already. Viewership DOWN. Keep all your shows ABC-no one wants you or them.

NO, I will not watch ANY of these nighttime soaps. ABC took our daytime soaps (OLTL and AMC). I now have no loyalty to ABC and will not watch anything day or night if ABC or Disney is involved.

I can’t believe ABC, I thought they wanted out of the soap business and now they’re adding more at night??!! Well, I won’t be watching!!

No way will I watch any new show on abc. obviously they realize they made a mistake in the daytime soap cancellations. they should fess up and those shows back into production. put them on primetime!

Anything other than restoring AMC & OLTL is seen as an insult by ABC to its viewers. I am amazed that they think we will roll over on this..we won’t. They can order all the “pilots” they want..is no one at that network able to see that there are 2 shows with a built-in fan base of millions, ready to go? Restoring AMC & OLTL is a complete no-brainer.

They really ought to just bring OLTL and shorten the title to Llanview

I HAVE AN IDEA AS LIKE MANY I MISS OUR SOAPS AS WELL I DONT KNOW THE LEGAL PART OF THE CONTRACTS BUT WHY COULDNT AGNES NIXON CREATE A PRIME TIME SOAP AND KEEP OUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS ALIVE
INSTEAD OF AMC AND OLTL WHY NOT COMBINED THE TWO .WE ALL ENJOYED THE CROSS OVER STORIES IF SHE DOESNT HAVE THE RIGHTS TO THE SOAPS BUT DOES SHE HAVE THE RIGHTS TO THE CHARACTERS? TV SHOWS TODAY ARE HORRIBLE WE HAVE THIS AMAZING LADY THAT STILL HAS A STORY TO TELL BRING THEM TO PRIME TIME LIKE THE GOOD OLE DAYS OF DALLAS DYNASTY ETC… BUT BETTER WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO BRING OUR SHOWS BACK TO LIFE LETS DO EVERYTHING BUT GIVE UP .SHOWS COME AND GO THROUGH OUT THE YEARS BUT THESE ARE NOT JUST TV SHOWS THEY WERE APART OF AMERICAN LIFE

Oh wait a minute here i thought they said no one wants to watch soaps are they freaken kiddy me we .DAYTIME FANS DO .WE WANT AMC &OLTL BACK .NOW !!

No, I won’t watch ABC period–it’s been a “Mouseless” television since 1.13.12 and it is going to stay that way. Anne Sweeney and Brian Frons, don’t you both feel stupid right now?? If I were you, I wouldn’t show my face!!

I guess I’ll be the one who marches to a different drum. I still watch ABC and I am not ashamed of it because there are shows on there that I like and I am going to support the shows I like. Now with that said, Revenge isn’t one of those shows I like.

I actually can see why ABC is doing more primetime soaps, the audience (the younger people) don’t want to commit to a show that runs 5 days a week but they will commit to a show that runs 22 times a year.

Bring on the new soaps, I’m looking forward to something new and interesting…OLTO & AMC ran it’s course,(same crap every epi) add some of those actors to the new shows and I’m sure they will be a Hit!

I’m still suffering the loss of “As The World Turns” ! I miss them so much, it feels like they all died at once! I am still hoping to see that the show has miraculously been revived! That’s why I came to this website! Am I crazy? Not normally, but I watched those people for about 30 years! I still can’t believe it happened sometimes.
