Days did it quickly, and so has GH. All it takes is some tinkering. OLTL has the best cast in Daytime(MUCH better than Days)-that...

Nothing will bring the show back. I don't believe that the board reflects everyone, but it IS a sample of rabid fans. Most of the fans who posted for years and years and YEARS are gone, replaced by new posters who come for one thing, such as being a FF fan or liking a gay storyline. Many know nothing of the history of the show or why anyone would be upset with the show BECAUSE they don't really have a history with the show...

I guess that depends on who you like! As a fan of Erika, Brian and Robin no I'm not happy with this show! They have...

RC is the biggest blower of the history of this show I've ever seen. The crap he has the characters do is laughable. Most of them are now sad caricatures of their former selves.

Delerium that is a huge part of why I left too...who at ABCD decided that JPL/Rex is a leading man?? And Gigi??! Don't get me started!! Add on to the arrogant, arbitrary decisions RC made about which couples were "working" and which ones were not(I got Jarty instead of Jolie because according to Ron, Jolie wasn't "working"...how did that work out for ya Ronnie boy??!) But the nonstop diet of Rex...

^^^ITA with everything you said. Some do just watch for one storyline or couple, or have admitted to starting to watch OLTL months ago because of so and so and don't really know the history of the show or certain characters and why some don't see the GLARING OOC nonsense going on with most of the characters (Todd being the biggest offense, or what they have done to TnT Rachel being a boring prop, etc. IMO) Some just wing these...

^^ You know what's funny, though? Of all the boards on here, OLTL fans seem the most content about the writing on their show, which makes it all the more strange OLTL can't reel in more viewers.

The show is in free fall, and denial is not a river just in Africa. Do you have empirical evidence to support what you're saying, or is it mere...
