What can I say, it is the first day without All My Children. I will not watch another show about food because I do watch my favorites. At any rate, I hope that they will be on line as they have promised.

It will be a HUGE disappoint to fans if the writers do not make a meaningful closure to this wonderful show on TV.
To tease us and leave us with a loose ending (so they can coerce into watching online) would be immoral!
Is it really all about money.....or can it sometimes be about integrity and rewarding the fans with meaningful
closure. Please end it in a special way that it deserves!

What destroyed the show is Ryan. If you would cut him out, the rest of the crew would do their thing, no matter how you line them up. Erica was good in her younger years, now the latest with the double role is really not good writing.
I am watching this show for many years. Thank you for finding a way to stay alive.

I am so happy that it is going to stay on even if it is online. I think that the true fans will follow. I know I definately will. I am hoping that most if not all of the currant cast will stay on because being a huge AMC fan, I love all of them & look forward to watching it everyday. I've watched this show for over 30 yrs & have so many memories of being a child & watching it with my mom. I am so thankful that this other company picked it up :)

My main soap now is One Life To Live, but I will definitely follow AMC online with or without Susan Lucci. It would be better if she stayed, sure, but I and other fans worked too hard to save these soaps to NOT watch. And I agree with other commenters---I STILL will NOT be watching anything on ABC. The soaps should have STAYED right where they were and nothing at this point will ever take away the sting of the soaps and their fans being treated so abysmally. Get used to lower ratings ABC. A bad taste in someone's mouth can last for a LONG time.

The real question is Who the hell will watch The Chew??!! I pray ABC daytime sinks and burns!!!

I'll watch, regardless. But what I won't be watching is any more ABC TV. I even going to give up watching Grey's. If I do that before Patrick Dempsey leaves, it won't bother me as much. I can always buy the DVD of the last season with him in it later, but I am sick, sick sick of the crud abc pulls. Just today saw an ad for 'the chew' or whatever it is, the food show. Looked boring.

I have watched AMC since the first show on the air. And GH for at least most of my life. There is no way I will watch what ABC is putting on the air to replace AMC, OLTL or GH. I hope that the soaps will continue with their "stars" when they go their new producers. I will watch on my ipad or on my computer wherever the soaps may go as these two shows deserve to live on for the next generation to come.

When standard format was 30min, there was a daily soap-a-thon on every major network, when shows started to move towards 1hr programming, wasn't enough room on the afternoon schedule's & some of the longest running (from radio days) saw the ax fall. The single reason for ABC (or NBC,CBS) cancellation of any soap is high production costs vs low ratings = fewer advertising $$.
Doubt Prospect Park will be any different in having to slash budgets in their attempt at producing & showing AMC & OLTL, there maybe many of the longtime & much higher paid (Lucci, Slezak, etc) that won't be able to agree on new contracts. I hope not, but bottom line is Prospect Park is a business with eye on the bottom line.

Funny thing about 30min vs 60min broadcasts, last couple Emmy's for Best Show went to the only 30min soap on TV, The Bold & Beautiful. Smaller operating budgets, smaller casts, don't mean lack of quality show Maybe ABC should've tried a different approach before pulling the plug. Wonder how the folks at Gen.Hospital are feeling & wondering if they're next?

I've been watching AMC for the past 40 years and Erica (Susan Lucci) has been and is the main character. What would AMC be without the coniving and poor misunderstood vixen? I might watch occasionally but it just wouldn't be the same without her!
