Okay soapers, lets gather around!! We have received new intel from our sources within ABC. The biggest piece of news is that in the past couple weeks while the ABC/FOX merger was being completed, ABC held two seperate meetings involving some of their upper brass. One meeting was about "All My Children". And the other was about "One Life to Live". We even hear that Frank Valentini (current GH executive producer, former OLTL executive producer) sat in during some portions of the meetings. This is all fantastic developments! Our soaps are of considerable discussion over at ABC and one reason is because of Karey Burke, president of ABC entertainment. She has been open to the idea of reboots in general since she took her new job in ABC, and she has openly stated that reboots of AMC & OLTL are on the table.
What should we do about all of this? Call the office of Karey Burke to voice our support for the soaps! We now have her office phone number and must hit this task well to leave a positive impression. Karey is new to this job and she hasn't had to hear from ABC soap fans yet. Now she gets to have reassurance that us soap fans are here and we still want AMC & OLTL!
Phone calls are always the most effective avenue, especially when courting new ABC contacts. We ask that either you call in live during normal office hours (this is a west coast number) or leave voicemails after hours and on weekends if you are more comfortable doing so. We will be aiming to fill her voicemail up during the weekend so please keep an eye out for reminders about leaving voicemails!!! Isn't this all exciting stuff? Also, please be polite in your calls/messages. Karey and her team are much more on our side than other ABC leadership. She has power to bring back our soaps and has that for discussion. Let's keep her on our side. Have a fabulous weekend!!!
Karey Burke (ABC Entertainment President)

(As an aside, we find it fascinating that NBC would now scoop up Robin Strasser for DAYS. We know that the big networks always look over each other's shoulders to see what may be drawn up. How they set lineups and the such. We only have ABC connections so we DO NOT know if NBC heard of a possible AMC & OLTL reboot some time ago and went to poach Robin for their network. We are simply fascinated by the timing of everything.)
