  3. Completely unbelievable!! ABC is getting rid of the soap that is doing the best. Good Luck ABC in trying to explain that one to the fans and shareholders. Once OLTL is off the air, I'm finished with ABC daytime. I haven't watched GH in months, and I'd hate to start now, knowing what ABC plans on doing to it. Its hard enough to say good-bye to OLTL.

  4. I wonder, will The Chew still be pulling in viewers generation after generation like the Soaps did. I kinda doubt it. I'll never watch any show that replaces a soap.
