i haven't watched in a long time, but "all my kids" started when i was in high school and then i watched it in the commons at college all the time (back when TVs weren't allowed in dorm rooms) OMG the end of an era, i guess soaps are kinda "last century" but a world without erica NONONONONO

it really is most unfair, they've just uprooted all the actors from NY and they all moved to california, now they're jobless....JMO ABC has NO CLASS!!!

sad!!!! i know, no ERICA KANE!!!! likely the only soap opera character known by everyone!!! boo hiss ABC!!!

"the actors found out on text message and through phone calls from reporters.

Despite what ABC claims were their best efforts to tell the cast and crew of “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” some of the actors and crew of the two canceled soap operas say they felt blindsided by the cancellation"

like i said ABC has no class!

Anyone seen The Voice in the U.S. yet on NBC? LOVED IT! American Idol's days are numbered!!! I think Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine are fantastic coaches. Critics are digging the show too as are most I know who've seen it. This is what singing comps should be about -- voices, not that Idol crud where they see you. Right now they're in the blind auditions phase:


Premiere episode[not sure if it will work outside the u.s.]

Ugh I had to dig up this old thread. Don't we have a Hollywood Royalty one anywhere?!

This week, legend Kirk Douglas died. He was well loved by his family, and over 100 years old(!). And a great marriage partner as well, married some 70 years. R.I.P.

No doubt the Oscars tonight will have a nice tribute.
