I find it extremely difficult to imagine that there isn't an audience for these two soap operas. I can't wait to get home from work daily and watch the episodes from the day. The one thing we as fans don't want to see is another reality show, talk show or cooking show. I will not watch whatever is put in it's place. Even the View is a loud, rude and obnoxious talk show. ABC should be ashamed of themselves. I wish the crew, actors and writers the best of luck and thank them for 40 or more years of entertainment.
