General Hospital's Last Air Date In Current Time Slot SET!

While this news has been out for awhile it hasn't quite sunk into the soaposphere so I am going to post it. As of today (January 26th 2012), the very last episode of ABC's soap opera General Hospital will air on Wednesday- September 5th 2012 in its current 2pm cst/3pm est timeslot. while this isn't necessarily the end of General Hospital, it is not in anyway good news.

We wish the cast and crew at General Hospital the best of luck in the coming days, because they will all need it. Stay tuned to Denial Island for more coverage as the fate of General Hospital continues to develop.

Will General Hospital Be Cancelled? ABC Exec: "I Don't Know"

So here's the latest in the Will GH Be Cancelled or Not? news - ABC is claiming they don't know yet. SOD has just reported that when ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee was asked about the possible cancellation of GH to make room for Katie Couric's new snoozefest...oops, I mean talk show, he responded "We'll have to make a decision at some point but I don't know when. We have not made a decision and we do not have a time frame for that."

Denial Island's One Life to Live Finale Coverage

Hey all, I know it's been a bit quite on the island itself these last few weeks, but that's because a project we have been working on has basically taken all of our free time away. We have unfortunately come to the end of yet another soap opera.

Since I began working on Denial Island I have watched the death of two soaps, As The World Turns & All My Children. Prior to that I blogged about the end of Guiding Light for another soap site and suffered the loss of Passions (my first soap) just prior to beginning work for the other site.

With that said I take the loss of this show straight to heart because losing any series is hard to do, but one with such history and longevity as One Life to Live it hurts, in more ways than one.

So what is the "official" plan for Denial Island's coverage of this epic event?

Well with day 1 of 5 already completed we decided that "live blogging" the week would be to much work, also while the Live Blog is fun, it isn't as community driven as I really would like it to be at this point, and takes way to much time and preperation than I have to give at this point in time.

Instead I will be "Live Tweeting" the event daily on twitter @SoapWikiJohn.

I have a lot of ideas right now circling my head about coverage about the end of One Life and what it has meant to fans over the years, but considering this is off the top of my head we will just have to wait and see how things turn out won't we?

I know this week is going to be hard for a LOT of people, losing a soap is like losing a family member; it was a constant in your life, that has now unceremoniously been torn to pieces, but we will survive and figure out a way to continue enjoying this genre, be it via Web Soaps, or International Soaps, the art of daily on-going serialize will continue, and I hope you will join us for the next step, because like the show we only have One Life to Live.
