43 years. yes for 43 years i have visited llanview on an almost daily basis. and now my home away from home is gone. i was hoping it's cancellation was just one long nightmare that i'd wake up from in time. however, this past friday the 13th proved i was well awake all these months and that my retreat in the world of llanview was over. my dvr will never be the same again. the best soap ever on tv is now in the past to be replaced by cheaper talk show type programming which i hope fail miserably. i hope the now fired brian frons head of daytime programming at abc has a long and utterly miserable life. he has made many a fan miserable recently and he deserves pain and suffering. am i being to harsh on this man. no! i think not. miserable bastard.
amazing casts over the last 43 years entertained us. their writers made us feel every emotion there is. yes some of the storylines were 'out there' but hell that is the fun of soaps. fun. drama. what was there not to like? well all soap detractors have everything not to like. but the rest of us grieve in our own ways over the loss of this and other shows. we will go on but will go on without these friends. dear friends. i will miss my daily trek to this western pennsylvania hamlet. i will need to find a new escape route from the craziness of life and dare i say the republican party lol. goodbye victoria lord the matriarch of llanfair. goodbye dorian lord the zaniest diva ever. goodbye to the wolacks, the craigs, the mannings, the lords, the buchanans. to all their friends and mine we bid a bittersweet adieu.
