Suck it BIG ABC/Disney!!!

Wonderful news!

I'm a CBS soap gal through and through but I so sympathize with what the ABC fans have gone through. I've watched the last few days of each of the soaps even though I mostly had no idea what was going on, and as best as the writers did, what the fans were left with was very sad.

Soaps are the best and some piddly lifestyle programming can never replace it.

The sad thing, though, is that ABC says they're pleased with The Revolution because it's so much cheaper to produce than OLTL was, and they're hoping the ratings will grow, but even if they don't, don't expect any soap to replace it.  [snow_rolleyes]  In fact, even though publicly ABC says they have made no decision about General Hospital, rumors continue to circulate that behind the scenes ABC is seriously considering getting rid of it as well to become completely soap free...

Even if these shows drew an audience of six hamsters and a goldfish, ABC is not going to admit they made a mistake. Must save face and all that.  Sadly, once the Katie Couric talk show is ready to hit the airwaves, GH will likely be gone.  [snow_sad]

Hey Annie! I used to watch GH many, many moons ago. Laura was still a teenager and hadn't yet become involved with Luke Spencer.  Might be the late 70's.
