Another Nail...

So, Soapnet has officially been axed. What a shame! A large majority of the soap viewing public pointed to the network as a possible savior for the genre. I knew from the moment reality TV and useless throwaway movies became the focus, it was doomed. Oh, how I wish Brian Frons would have seen the amazing potential of the niche and fully committed. Canceled favorites like Ryan's Hope, Port Charles, and Another World were featured prominently at the start. Over time, they were relegated to slots after midnight. I'm convinced they were put in such positions to justify eventual discontinuation. I have always questioned why an original daytime drama was never attempted. Just foolishness. There's absolutely no hope for canceled soaps. One of the last hopes I had for survival is gone. Disgusting and sad.
