As much as I hate to say it, thanks to Ravenbeauty I have been on the forefront of the soaps cancellation from the beginning. Though there are naysayers about my friend, she has been right nearly every time, including Roger Howarth joining the cast of One Life To Live again. That is why I have no doubts when she says that ABC is feeling the heat but Disney execs decided that we soap fans would simply get over it.
When Disney first bought ABC it seemed like they just wanted a place that would be one long infomercial for their products/movies/theme parks. Remember when Roseanne and all the sitcoms were forced to write episodes surrounding the theme parks. I do and they sucked, well Roseannes were funny but the rest just tried too hard. In any case apparently the giant conglomerate never really cared about the network and only bnought to make a few bucks and what not, Raven revealed "Disney does not care very much about ABC (they never have which is evident)."
Raven also informs us that while targeting ABC is good, we need to focus our energies on bringing down the Mouse house, the ones that truly are klilling Erica Kane and Dorian Lord. "I have just heard from my sources that warned me that all of this was coming, which is how I was able to give fans a very early heads up. They are informing me that although ABC is feeling the heat, Disney is laughing us off completely. That we are going after the wrong monster. We have definitely made progress, and our voices are being heard loud and clear, but I am hearing that Disney feels very untouched by all of this because we haven't been aiming for the heart." Which is why I propose we hit Disney where it hurts. From what other sources are telling me, we are on the right track and some Disney execs are no longer laughing off what the call the 'Soap Fan Movement' with their documaentary 'African Cats' failing to land in the top 5 this weekend, as previous efforts have.
With all that being said, we need to continue to show Disney, and Disney (and ABC) sponsors that we have the power, and every choice we make will effect those around us. If I buy Excederin, people around me will too. I will only continue to buy Excederin if they pull their ads from ABC!!!! Let's work together to save All My Children and One Life To Live, together we can do it!!!
