ATWT safe for another year!

OMG THANK YOU JEBUS.

I'm doing my best to be all glass half-full right now and hoping that means that if ratings improve in that time, it could get a longer renew contract. IT COULD HAPPEN OKAY. Or it could get sold to another network like they're hoping to do with Guiding Light. And, well, if not, at least we might get a nice wrap-up for the Nuke storyline if the writers know the end is coming.

In other words, if anyone leaves anyone behind to go off to New York City to pursue a writing or film career, I will cut a bitch.


ETA: Well, damn. The latest as I was writing this post.

Don't stand up and cheer about As The World Turns reportedly being offered a one-year pick up from CBS. We're hearing from several sources The Tiffany Network has already informed producers of the soap opera this pick up would be the last for the sudser, which today celebrates its 53rd anniversary on the air.

"The people at World Turns were told they won't be picked up again after the one-year renewal," says one source.

Another insider, the same one who informed Daytime Confidential's Mel months back that Guiding Light would be cancelled if it didn't achieve and sustain a 1.8 household rating by April—as we all know the sudser was cancelled on April 1—is saying P&G has been in fact pitching their serials as a package deal to other networks and cablers.

"P&G was recently in talks with SOAPnet about picking up both soap operas, but the deal fell through about a month ago," reveals the mole.

According to an ABC mole, P&G is gearing up to pitch Brian Frons once again. --here

Sigh. Well. There's still hope for a new home at least!

*rocks back and forth*

Glass half-full! Glass half-full!
