Since then, NBC had two other soaps, Passions and Sunset Beach, which didn’t have the longevity of AW and Days. It wasn’t very long ago that ABC canceled All My Children and One Life to Live, and CBS canceled Guiding Light and As the World Turns. We’ve seen many daytime soaps come and go over the years, including Capitol, Dark Shadows, The Edge of Night, Loving/The City, Santa Barbara, and Search for Tomorrow, just to name a few. Some of the shows that had short runs had potential to be long-running shows, and some of the shows that had long runs could’ve went on to have longer runs.

Another viable alternative for the soaps could’ve been returning them back to half-hour, in hopes of keeping them on the air, and saving money. We’ve got more than enough talk shows, game shows, courtroom shows, and tabloid-gossip and viral video shows on the air. Soap fans, including myself, would rather have stories than more cheaper fanfare. A better idea for NBC, IMO, would be to return Today back to its original 2-hour format. Megyn Kelly replacing the 3rd hour. Kathie Lee and Hoda remain at 10AM under newly revived Later Today name. Days of our Lives get a multi-year renewal. #saveoursoaps
