I'm so excited and happy about this. Someone finally listened to the fans..Thank You. Kind of funny this comes today when I had e mailed Frons a couple of days ago on FB.

Well there you go! Maybe Agnes Nixon got tired of hearing how her soap was being driven into the ground w/ridiculous, unrealistic, dragged out s/l's that the fans have been complaining about for MONTHS, and decided to exercise her executive power stop the madness! Finally!!! Maybe when they move to LA they can start from scratch and rebuild what they've lost...a fan following and a soap worth watching again!

Hi
I'm an AMC watcher (from day 1) and today's episode was the straw that broke the camel's back. I've been so disappointed in the repetitious story lines for the last several months. It's as if they were written by someone who is mocking the soaps...someone who has taken the already unbelievable (but enjoyable soap style) story lines and made them into a really bad joke.

Surely someone would have a better imagination than to throw Kendal into bed with Ayden yet once AGAIN. I mean come ON. Ditto for David and Amanda. Is it that hard to keep things interesting without resorting to every single solitary relationship being unable to sustain itself beyond 6 weeks ? That's unrealistic even for the soap world.

Oh my...

All's wells that ends well.

Can I get an AMEN?!!!!! Now, if we can just get rid of Frons, these ABC Soaps may just stand a chance!

Maybe it is Tross and all of her calls. I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WOULD DO ANY GOOD. Thank you TROSS!
I hope he doesn't let the door hit him in the a--. We will give him the same send off he gave Brooke, Carmen and some others.........NONE

This is good...it has taken months to tie together story lines that should have been concluded forever ago! Dragging stuff on and on, is not what the veiwers appreciate.

Someone at ABC finally went to the Internet and read the message boards. It didn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the fans have been extremely unhappy with Mr. Pratt's character assassination since he came on board. Fan favorites have been turned into selfish and self-centered idiots with no regard for anyone else. David Hayward was never a "good" guy, but he did have some redeeming qualities. He is now a cartoon villain - I keep waiting to see him twirling his moustache. Hopefully, they'll get someone in who will acknowledge the history of the show and its characters. Pratt even ruined Jesse Hubbard, and that took some doing.

Well it's about time, before the show went down the tube more. Maybe Lorraine can try to help the show start uphill again and gain all the lost viewers back.
