Thanks for posting this. I think airing GL on Soapnet would be great (even if I don't get the channel.) From what I hear that Soapnet needs to refocus on soap operas anyway.

I don't get the channel either but at least GL will be on. I can always see the clips on youtube and download the eppies...

Exactly. That's the only way I'm keeping up with Jeff's story as it is.

I'm hoping soapnet will pick it up, too. I actually do have the channel so that would be a plus. Right now, it's only about a 50/50 shot that when I turn it on, it will be an actual daytime soap.

Right now there's a rumor floating around that GL and ATWT may be going to Lifetime. Don't know how true that is, but I'll take anything at this point.

It would kinda make sense in a way. Lifetime is a network that caters to the soapier type movies and things. Is P&G the one shopping around?

Yep. Word is that P&G are shopping around their soaps as a package deal because it's extremely likely that ATWT will also get the ax next year. Which is kinda surprising considering they've pretty much been wanting out of soaps for a long time. I don't think they even fought as hard to save AW when it was cancelled.

Maybe business-wise they're realizing how benficial the soaps are for them in terms of advertising

Thanks for the info. I hope someone picks GL up. I am just getting into this soap since Jeff joined. I am glad there is still some hope.

I've gotten into it too, Barbara. Friday's episode was very good. It actually reminded me of the way AMC used to be.

Brandon, when AW was cancelled, I seem to remember the writers took it way off course....Carl Hutchins went all good and lost his edge. Rachael had twins. Cass Winthrop was doing his last scenes with a gorilla! Let us hope for Lifetime...It seems to me, right now anyway, soapnet is far more interested in showing series they must own--like Gilmore Girls and Being Erica ( I must admit "Erica" is pretty good, though ) than preserving the genre of Daytime...The forementioned shows may be soapy, but in the purest sense they aren't soaps.

Yeah, I've seen the AW finale. That was one crazy ending. Let's just hope the GL finale doesn't involve Reva, Josh, and a chimpanzee. ;D

Hey, Brandon! Let's hope the writers and the actors give it there all...I've seen actors like Amanda Baker ('dead Babe' on AMC ) go for broke in their last scenes. The show deserves it & the fans deserve it, imho. Aww...I just noticed the "RIP Guiding Light 1937-2009" in your siggy. Lori
