Rumors abound concerning the cancellation of soaps on two different networks. What do you think?
Dateline: 09/10/99
With rumors
running rampant across all corners of the Internet that both ABC and NBC are
considering the cancellation of their infant soaps Port Charles and Sunset
Beach. I thought we'd do this weeks article a bit differently. I want to
hear from you, your views on whether these shows should be cancelled or if the
networks should keep them around and give them more time to strut their stuff.
I've provided the details of the "pending" cancellations as I know
them, as well as a poll for both shows. Please take a moment to respond to the
polls and let us know what you think.
ABC is reportedly in production on a new
show that is a hybrid Talk Show/Soap Opera. The new show is being called Day
by Day and will focus on the behind the scenes action of a talk show,
within a soap opera format. Rumor is that this
show will replace Port Charles on ABC's lineup. Nothing
definite is being said by the network at this time. Sunset Beach is teetering on the
verge of being cancelled. Rumor has it that NBC is looking toward a
daytime lineup that only consists of two soaps, and more newsy type
shows. There has been no official word from the network on this yet,
but fans need to let their voices be heard on this issue, before
the official word comes down in October.
