the writing's on the wall

So the rumors are true: Katie Couric is getting General Hospital's time slot on ABC starting in September 2012. ABC refuses to admit they're planning to axe GH, however. Even if GH isn't cancelled next year, a change in its time slot will almost certainly finish it off, and then ABC will have what it apparently wants: no scripted daytime dramas, and fewer pesky unionized writers and actors to deal with.

Gahhh. Is that really cheaper than a soap?

In a word: no. But apparently ABC just wants to do away with their soaps. I really do think union-busting is a big motive...

I think you're right. Gahhh.
