    from...now you also have me thinking of The Wizard of OZ and the Wicked Witch of the West. I would love to hear/see Greenlee scream "I'm melting, I'm melting!!" (he-he-he!)

    from - heat? what heat? we don't have heat in Georgia? It's only 32 below zero today. Oh wait a minute. I'm not in Nebraska anymore. Sorry, but the heat has fried my little peabrain.

    AMC Lifer.....Thanks.......Mona was so mild -Nothing like Erica.....Phoebe better fits the bill to be Erica's mother. The last show could be Erica "finding" an old letter from Mona and/or Phoebe about Erica's true birth mother and then name her father _____________(fill in the blank)....As the finale approaches - the scene is a close up of Erica's surprised look......That just MAY induce a continuation to be sponsored by SOMEBODY !!

    NO! NO! NO! NO! Mona is Erica's mother and always will be. There are just some things that should NOT be re-written and this is one of them.

    Oops! ABC Did It Again: It is Getting Ugly Over There

    The 'Gossip' is True: Amanda Setton Returns to 'OLTL'



    (SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- One of the major stories that broke this past weekend at the "38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards" was that ABC has indeed received offers to purchase both "All My Children" and "One Life to Live," not even three months after announcing it was canceling the programs citing poor ratings and advertising returns. We were originally waiting to give a full report on this situation before going to press, but once the news broke on Twitter, we decided to confirm the story as we continued to investigate to get more details. After speaking with several independent sources it has been confirmed 100% that ABC has declined offers for both shows. Obviously, just like all of you, we wondered why would ABC decline such offers? Soap Opera Network began to dig a little more, questioning the original sources, and here's what we know.

    The general consensus is ABC does not want to see these shows succeed anywhere else fearing it would only be like pouring salt on the wound. Not only would they then have to deal with the criticism for canceling them, but then having to deal with the backlash once another outlet was able to make these shows more successful. It's just not something ABC wants to deal with, given the slack they have taken since the original announcement back in April. If this were to happen, it would be another instance where a series found bigger success on another network. "JAG" left NBC and became a huge hit for CBS in the 1990's and even spawned two spin-off's in "NCIS" and "NCIS: LA." On The CW, "Girlfriends" spin-off "The Game" rated low on the Women 18-34 centric netlet only to become the highest rated original comedy series on cable when it debuted earlier this year on BET.

    In the case of "One Life to Live," the fact that the soap has increased its ratings since the announcement and now holds the title of ABC's top soap in viewers, and recently key demographics, while every other soap during this time has seen their ratings continue to decline including "General Hospital," which will remain on the air as ABC's sole soap opera, has not gone unnoticed by Disney/ABC suits. Although there are currently no plans to change the networks current course of action, industry insiders are speculating that the network may be keeping "One Life" in its back pocket just in case "The Chew" fails miserably when it debuts on Monday, September 26, just days after "All My Children" goes off the air (at least on ABC). Speaking with Susan Lucci during the Starkey Hearing Foundation charity event held on Saturday, June 18 at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel, daytime's biggest star told Soap Opera Network when asked if the show could possibly continue post ABC that it is a "possibility... I don't believe on ABC. But I think it is a possibility it will continue."

    Initially when pressed for comment, an ABC representative declined, but has since stated "I have nothing to add about the purchase offer rumors." This spoke volumes because if there had not been offers there would be no reason for them not to deny the rumors. Adding more fuel to the fire, if you remember those Chrishell Stause tweets back in early May where she said "a little birdie on a big chair leaked possible HUGE information to me My lips are sealed but it has a possibility of making many happy!" only to find herself in the middle of her own controversy over those comments. It turns out she may have in fact been referring to both shows receiving offers from interested parties, who are looking to take both soap operas off of ABC's hands. Remember the very brief statement we received from Sony Pictures Television about their interest in the shows being "just pure speculation?" Not speculation at all, it turns out.

    While speaking with a higher up at ABC this past week, they could not help but chuckle at how the fans have jumped on Brian Frons, President, Daytime, Disney/ABC Television Group, even referring to them as "clueless" stating that Frons had very little if anything to do with these decisions and is being used as the scapegoat by Anne Sweeney, Co-Chairman, Disney Media Networks and President, Disney/ABC Television Group, and her bosses, who were the ones to make the decisions to cancel. It also being widely speculated that it is only a matter of time before ABC lets Frons go as damage control to try and make peace with fans. Sweeney and company could not ask for a better scenario, they make the decisions that have upset fans through out the country and the fans in return hand wrap with a bow a sacrificial lamb that they could use to help mend the fences. The same source tells Soap Opera Network that ABC is trying to figure out the best time to fire Frons, to help repair the damage done with the fans and make them feel like all of their rallying has actually accomplished something. According to a network insider requesting anonymity, Frons is likely to be on his way out just before "The Chew" debuts this fall.

    We will continue to follow this story as it develops, please stay tuned for more details...

    Hipgrandma.....I think we are going to have to try mind over matter....Kinda like when we go to the dentist...The mantra is : "This is NOT going to hurt" It hardly ever works..... so lets try something else.

    Hi all.

    OMG When Colby started screeching I turned on the vacuum. Drowned that cr@p right out.

    WHOA Angie has got a great b*tch slap for a blind woman. Hit him square in the kisser.

    Kendall is a good friend to Madison.

    That was some dream Madison was having. Boy I hope she doesn't go crazy & actually do it. Well for her sake any way. I don't want her ending up in Oak Haven.

    Is Ryan going to figure out "Erica" is not Erica. MMMMM This is one time I am routing for Superman to solve a mystery. I want that cr@p s/l over.

    From...I had an internal error too. Must have been the site. Glad to see you have not melted from the heat. It is a cool overcast day here. Around 67. Even drizzled this morning.

    Hello to all my poster friends.
