Rumorville: Rumors are growing stronger that ABC has received offers from other networks to purchase All My Children and One Life To Live and has declined to sell both shows. This, despite their previous, public, assurances that they would be more than willing to sell the two productions. If true, the question is why?

Nancy Lee Grahn is full of optimism regarding the head writer switch. Here is a composite of her tweets, with minor editing for clarity:"As soon as the new stuff kicks in it's going to be much better, hopefully there will be something for everyone. I think it'll be great. You've no idea how much faith I have in this new shift at GH. Come aboard. We've aborted North Atlantic, gotten off the Titanic, and aboard the Love Boat.""I knew about Ingo [Rademacher]. He's my friend and I love him. [His ... Continue reading ...
Rumorville: Word is that it was General Hospital's Executive Producer, Jill Farren Phelps, rather that ABC Daytime head Brian Frons, who was the bearer of the bad news to Guza. Supposedly, Guza stormed out of the ABC offices right then and there. This may be where the, "effective immediately", came from in the ABC press release regarding the change in head writers, as well as the lack of public thank you's for Guza's contributions to the show.

Rumorville: Wishful thinking...or not? According to the NY Post:"ABC Daytime honcho Brian Frons is in hot water over the cancellation of One Life to Live and All My Children,

axing, other advertisers like Hershey’s and L’Oreal are getting heat

Rumorville: UPDATED "Even though other soaps are being canceled, we're still dedicated to ours. We're very proud of them and have big plans for the future."

a strong chance that ABC will put a network daytime slot on the table
when the bidding for [Katie Couric's new talk show] begins in earnest as she sets her segue from

Rumorville: The buzz is that ABC is not just planning to cancel All My Children in the coming days but will very likely cancel One Life to Live, as
well. According to TVGuide, word is that ABC Daytime chief Brian Frons has a talk show and
reality show lined up for fall — both of them much cheaper to produce
