NBC expanded the "Today Show" for a fourth hour to create a talk but to make local stations happy they ended "Passions". In 2009 CBS ended "Guiding Light" after over 70 years and replaced it with a new version of "Let's make a deal" at least it wasn't a talk show. In 2010 CBS ended "As the World Turns" and replaced it with a talk show called "The Talk" (real creative CBS). Let's admit the networks find it cheaper to make a talk show or a game show than a soap, plus soaps may have began repeating plot lines but I think that the soap was a great treasuere to our TV sets. A TV series that come on every weekday and continuing a plot from the day before. You didn't get that in prime time , without waiting a week. ABC will replace "All My Children" before it had a chance to turn 42. How many other shows can you say lasted 40 years or even 70 , except for news shows and some talks shows, and the "Price is right".
But to make this short we say good bye to "All My Children". And maybe your second life online could make you go on longer.
