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.

Gah! Perfect mood choice for this--I'm about as disgusted with ABC as Julia is with Barnabas most of the time. Stupid Katie Couric. Grr, argh.

Why ABC thinks it's a good idea to spend megabucks on Katie Couric is beyond me...

I don't think it's going to pan out the way they seem to think it will. Which just makes the whole situation that much more frustrating.

Yes, the idea of three flash-in-the-pan shows replacing three over-forty-year institutions is quite galling.
