Big announcement RE: both shows coming Friday the 8th.

What's interesting about that is there are all sorts of rumors about a big announcement coming on Friday from Prospect Park, but PP itself has not formally indicated that they actually are making an announcement. At least not according to the reports I've seen. But what is really interesting is that soapcentral.com is reporting that they've been told that AMC's staffers have already been informed that there will not be a second season of the show. And considering AMC was supposed to begin production in August but never did - then they were to begin in October but never did - there might be some truth in that report. But I suppose the public will never really know for sure what is happening until PP does indeed make an announcement.

These shows were horribly mishandled. small consolation that Brian Frons has been all but blacklisted from the industry.
The creep intentionally set out to destroy two iconic shows that had a lot of life left in them.

I was in line buying groceries today, when I noticed the small magazine named, "CBS Soaps".

The magazine is CBS Soaps in Depth. Its companion magazine ABC Soaps in Depth is the magazine that ran my picture last year.

with only four soaps left on the air and the publishing industry in turmoil i'm not sure how any of those old "soap weeklies" are still on the shelves. [hall2_huh]



I've seen the reports on AMC in recent days and it really broke my heart. for all of those actors and production people to have been lead to believe they were being given a another chance and to have that taken away again is really sad. [hall2_embarrassed]

No statement made on AMC's future, but star is "disappointed yet again"

Since posting that link, the title of the article has been changed to:

"No official statement, but AMC star says show's been canceled"

And this has been added:

Morgan later went on to clarify her initial posts.

"Yea, we've been canceled," Morgan stated. "My manager ws given the news that we were officially done by [Prospect Park's] lawyer..."

I wouldn't be too impressed with the recent soap "resurgence" either. Current top rated show Y & R gets a rating far lower than what DS got during it's pre-Barnabas/pre-Phoenix era.
The day will come, in our lifetimes, when You Tube clips & DS DVDs are all that's left of daytime dramas.

OMG! I wonder if this means the shows might see a third act?

Well, that ruling doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
