Soaps On ABC After Show Previews

soa-no-previews Remember when after every show, we get treated with a preview of what the next day is going to be like? We don’t see those previews anymore. What we get is a promo of what the OTHER show is for the following week.

To explain further, after an episode of All My Children, instead of getting the usual All My Children’s next day preview, we get a One Life To Live weekly show preview promo. I hate that set-up. As much as I don’t like Spoilers to a point, I actually don’t mind seeing a preview of what’s going to happen the next day after each show.

Who else is not enjoying this backwards set-up? Or am I the only one making a big deal out of it?

    Yes, I totally agree!
    I am upset that they took away the spoilers at the end of the soap. I think this is their way of trying to get other viewers to tune in to the other soaps to get their ratings up. However, whom ever came up with this idea, should be fired cause I miss seeing whats going to happen next.

    I really hate it. I feel like it doesn’t close the day’s episode. I think they’re doing it to sell and add more advertising time. Count the actual minutes of storyline in each episode sometime. More ads less episode

    Not a very satisfying move for soap fans. I fully agree with you.

    I dont like it at all, they always show One Life To Live & General Hospital alot. They need to bring back the previews. I get tired of seeing the same preview everyday.

    Nope. Not a big deal. I don’t like it either. Because I like to know what is going to happen on the next one, just a little hint. Oh ABC, why did you do this?!

    ABC keeps making changes and it’s not really making us happy.

    I like it because I don’t have to hang around after the commercial. I can change the channel right after the show finishes.

    I agree – I don’t know WHAT ABC is doing – first they screw up Soapnet now- no previews.

    They need to wake up over there!
