I wish ROL would read what they write ".....the popular soaps will end in September 2010 and January 2011 respectively." Hey ROL, news flash...it's April 2011 and both soaps are still on.

I started watching All My Children while in college in the 1970s. I have been watching it on and off ever since. This is just so sad

Wow...say it's not so. I remember summer holidays 1971 and I began watching All My Children. Oh, the drama for a ten year old...Erica, Philip and Tara were the love triangle. Dr. Martin and Ruth, Aunt Pheobe, Nick, Mona...what a great group.

NOOOOOOO! I've been watching since 1972...so sad. The rumor has been going around for awhile that there was a possibility it would happen. I hope Radar is wrong, but I doubt it.
