So all ABC soaps (All My Children, General Hospital, One Life to Live) have hit rock bottom in the household ratings, what else is new? This was an inevitability with the recent trend of storytelling on soaps, it needs to change and change fast or else many soaps will dip into the single digit household ratings. I don’t think at this time that canceling any soap for that matter will help in any way at all, it would lower morale as I see it.
