Couldn't it have waited until the final day of shooting?" Guess it's kind of difficult to keep something like that a secret but I think the announcement wouldn't have been so traumatic for some if the end was already in sight & there was no longer any hope of GL finding a new home. Even though I think of myself as being invested in Otalia, it didn't really affect me so much since I'm the type to hope for the best but prepare for the worst; so, yeah the worst happened.

Although I have faith that GL will find a new home, now, in a few months or in a few years.. I'm a GL fan just GL I have never has taken the time to watch another soap and after a few month DOOL will be the other one and only because CC is there and I will follow her and Jess wherever. I remember that Josh and Reva were the one who "show me the light" so many years ago(before Shane birth)..and them, Rick, th Bauer, even Frank and Elaini(frank now..not to much) Sad that this genre is dying.. Is not easy to accept that the show will end but more so Otalia. I have to think is a movie and in some point will end and I'm looking foward for the DVD already. Web series..are there not necesary Otalia but if CC and Jess are there is enough for me. I know is not have been easy for u but I'm glad u continue to write becaus u have an easy way to express the fanbase feeling about the show, CC and Jess.

I wanted with all the baited breath for Otalia to continue in any way. However, that being said, I would not want the storyline of Otalia to go to another show, if JLH wasn't going as well, because I'd be terrified about what other writers might do with them. Because it's been art on GL. I would be 100% behind Otalia going to a web series, if it was treated well. So while I'm really sad that Crystal going to Days adds a nail to the coffin of GL, I understand the decision for her family. I sincerely hope that Days does her well with decent storylines. GL has been the best soap on the air for the past year and a half - running miles around anything else out there.
