This speech should be played at every Daytime Emmy award shows. I perfectly describes soaps and their fans and why soaps should not be canceled for nonsense shows like the Spew and Revultion, which have cable stations devoted to those kinds of information shows. I guess for AMC and OLTL there is no "Tune In Tomorrow" at least not until we can get them back on the air.

Yes and Thank you

[RealGreenlee4Evr]

There you go hope you enjoy it!

[RealGreenlee4Evr]

@RealGreenlee4Evr And when things are at their very worst on the show that's when we seem to enjoy them the most. There's just one thing we have to do to keep them in our lives tune in tomorrow.

[RealGreenlee4Evr]

@RealGreenlee4Evr Because for every new face, every new couple, every new family there are long familiar faces some who have grown up before our very eyes and a few more we hope to watch grow up. We know them so well they've become our friends. We yearn for their happiness especially when it's hard won. We laugh as they laugh, cry as they cry, and can't imagine doing without them.

[RealGreenlee4Evr]

@RealGreenlee4Evr And when a show is lucky enough to be on the air as long as Fraternity Row has been on, these families become extensions of our own. The audience might be upset when a favorite actor leaves but they're always willing to welcome a new one even when that new cast member is quite different than the one being replaced. After all this is a place where people come back from the dead. Go off to Grade school in the morning and come home from high school in the afternoon

[RealGreenlee4Evr]

@RealGreenlee4Evr Would the hero and heroine find their way back to true love? Would the villains get their come upance? Or would their crimes go unpunished? Would loving families overcome their obstacles? Or would their troubles prove too difficult to surmount? Ultimately that's what Soap Opera's about; families close families, rival families, even families that are unexpected. Or the one's we chose for ourselves.

[RealGreenlee4Evr]

@RealGreenlee4Evr Some of them were stay at home mother's taking a break before their children came home from school. Others were college students with free time between classes. Many of them inherited a love for the show from their parents or their grandparents who were long time fans themselves.\\ I remember the first time I tuned into Fraternity Row I was hooked instantly I needed to know what would happen next with these fascinating people.

[RealGreenlee4Evr]

@Lherrimanwhuudup Megan actually passed away nearly 20 years ago but I still to this day get stopped on the street by Fraternity Row fans who remember the characters that she played. And some ask how she's doing or if she'll ever return, but I must tell you that are times I get so caught up in the show I find myself wondering the same thing. The fans are so loyal, so passionate, so invested in their stories. I always ask how they started watching Fraternity Row.

[Danigurlks]

I cry every time I watch this. I can't believe it is over. I have watched this show my whole life. It is a true loss.
