At this point, I have only one promise and one wish for ABC, Promise: I will NOT watch anything on your channel anymore.

Wish: ROAST IN HELL.

I was very disapointed in the "Final Episode" the way they left things still have many unanswered questions, and I wasn't happy with some of the endings. First off they should have brought Mitch Laurence and Allison Perkins back a long time ago, they totally make the show! And I would think the ratings go up when they are on. Second, Killing off Ford, who had brought himself to be a good Father and a good mate for Jessica that was a mistake, now they leave us thinking that she may end up with Brody down the road. I think she deserves better than him. And Third, the worse thing they could have done IMO, bringing back Cole! I never liked him, either actor that played the part ( they were both ugly and unbelievable that she would prefer him to James) and the way Cole treated Starr this was not the matching I think most fans wanted to see. And how are they going to bring Starr to GH without eventually bringing Cole along? Just like John Mcbain, he is going to GH and what about Natalie? Are we going to believe that he will just ditch her and Liam for Port Charles? I don't think so. And what about Jack, Sam, and Hope? Are they going to Port Charles as well? And if they don't where are they going to be? Unanswered SL : What about Sean and his girlfriend? Has she changed her mind? It kind of seemed like she might have, maybe she will marry him? And Roxy? What will she do? Her family is moving across the Pond as Rex put it, why wouldn't they send her along? Danni and Nate... Where did they leave them? Together? Apart? And Jack and Mila? Do they have a future? Will Jack go to Jail? College? Victor tied up in the bed... will John Mcbain find him? Will Tea find out he is alive? What about the baby? Will Victor be a part of its life? When he is found what about Sam? Blare has custody if I remember right. And what about all of the lose criminals? Allison? Troy? Are they just going to roam the earth without being caught? I have to say I was glad that Matthew stepped up, but disapointed that they didn't have him hold the baby, made it seem off to me. And I LOVE the way Bo has stepped up and been a great dad to David Vickers Beaucannan! The way he spoke to him on the phone today and a few days ago how he had loved watching Davids movie was very touching. Still not liking the way Nora acts about David though. I would have liked it to end with Vickie and Clint getting Married and of course all questions answered and made the "Final Episode" final. I still feel like I was cheated the ending of a Television ICON that I have watched for decades with my Grandmother, Mother, Childran and Husband. I refuse to watch even one second of THE CHEW, or REVOLUTION or whatever the name of it is... As far as I am concerned we can "CHEW THEM UP AND SPIT THEM OUT" I will only continue to watch GH to keep its ratings up. And I refuse to watch anything else on ABC during the day. I currently only watch one night time show and that is REVENGE. It seems like anytime there is a good thing on ABC they cancel it (ie, BROTHERS AND SISTERS) And one final thought.... 43 years is a long time ABC, I think you just made a horrible mistake, I doubt you will ever have a show on as long as this one.... ever.

OLTL was one of my favorite shows. Daytime tv will never be the same. I don't ever intend to watch the Revolution or GH. There is no replacement.
Although the last episode was great. The cliff hanger ending left a few questions unanswered. WTH??? How could Victor be alive??? When will Tomas and Blair reunite? How can Blair and Todd continue on GH if Todd was arrested? I realize this episode was recorded before the plans to continue OLTL online were cancelled, however I feel unsatisfied. It really left me wanting more :-(

Hi Everyone,

For those that may remember my screenname, you may recall my very long posts with possible storyline ideas and predictions. Well, the time has come to say "goodbye." I have watched the final show and it was a tear-jerker, especially with Bo and Nora when he told her "I love you, Red." They were in real life saying "goodbye" to themselves - collegues, co-workers is what they were. I will miss OLTL and whatever airs in its place, will not last 43 years - this is a guarantee and I hope the new show fails, as well as the one that airs before. People, I will never watch ABC from 1-3 p.m. anymore and I urge you all to do the same. You want these new shows to fail? Don`t tune into them! This is my parting advice. I`m hereby retiring from soaps (GH never appealed to me) and retiring from posting here. I will miss you OLTL and you all here as well and reading all of your posts and hopefully you all reading mine. Love and Godspeed to you all. Goodbye.

I too am very upset & angry that ABC canned All My Children and then OLTL. I have been watching for only 5 years(I grew up on NBC soaps when they were only 15 minutes long.)
but I very quickly got to know & love MY afternoons watching. I am disabled and spend a great deal of time watching tv. These 3 soaps have been the highlights of my day; when missed, caught up at night or in the am. I HATE reality shows. Why did ABC think we wanted to watch people cook and do whatever this Revolution show is? Is General Hospital going to be next? I will truly miss all the fantastic storylines and the actors that have devoted years to playing their roles. I can't wait to see how the 4 new characters will be on GH. Thanks for giving us years of wonderful shows. It is too bad that OLTL didn't make it to the internet. I don't usually leave feedback but I HAD to speak out on this. Thanks too all on AMC & OLTL. sumatikaruna1

I have spent the last two days with friends who are fans of the show and we have cried our eyes out about our show being cancelled. I love the cast especially Erica Slazak, Robin Strasser and Trevor St. John. I really miss the ones who have already left and will truly miss the show. Today as I watched the view and the shows finalley I felt like I was losing part of my family. But when the show ended and I saw Trevor St. John I couldn't have been more happy. I can't wait to february to see my soap family joining general hospital. Thank you for bringing Trevor back. I love Roger Howorth and I was really sad to know that he killed his own brother and what the truth would do to Jack and the whole Manning family. I hope in the future that Todd and Victor can work out their differences, and cause a lot of chaos and shake up Port Charles.

My mom and i are deeply saddened that OLTL is going off the air. How can you take one of the best soaps on TV and leave other stupid ones? Plus Victor is alive. Don't end the show like that. OLTL should just air on another channel or at least on SOAP NETWORK. Why doesnt it matter what the fans think? Ask the fans. I guarantee that there are many out there that would agree with us. Thanks! SADDENED IN OHIO Channon and Cheryl Duncan

Today is a very sad day for me. i have watched One life with my mother since I was a child and have literally grown up with this show. i feel like part of my family is gone. i wish all of the actors well and there will be a lot of people that miss them. I am like the rest of the people that have commented and I am really disappointed with ABC.
