Pre-Emption Hell : A Soap Fans Nightmare

Imagine reading your favourite book , you're enjoying it and then it's taken away from you just as you reach the climax of the story .

That's what happens everytime ABC , NBC or CBS shows breaking news during a heated up storyline on our soaps .

Strictly speaking , we soap fans become frustrated,  annoyed and take to social media to air our grievances .

I don't understand why they can't just have the news stay on Fox news or CNN for things like presidential races , impeachment trials or strange occurrences they deem important that interrupt our shows.

By having  constant pre-emptions all week that stop we fans from having that one hour or half hour break of reality in our day you wind up angering a lot of fans of these daytime dramas.

Are we not entitled to have that since we are stuck at home not able to socialize outside with our loved ones .

By not keeping the soaps on you disrupt our live chats talking about our shows, which is something we soap fans enjoy immensely. 

I know its something others don't understand,  but as soap fans we are apart of the daytime soap families.

So essentially this pandemic has already separated us from our biological families , so it's like you're separating us from our soap families too.

Also there's the fact that  when the US is pre-empted Canada still gets episodes.

I find thing grossly unfair either we all get the episodes or we all don't it's as simple as that.

It's not a lot to ask, but the networks have to appreciate how we feel . Every few weeks this happens and it's not fair to the rest of us .

Our Soap stars have said,  be kind , be respectful,  so why can't the networks practice what our stars preach .

It's a small ask , but keep in mind these soaps are a bright spot in our lives to escape from the reality of lockdown during this pandemic. 

Thank god our soaps are back this week , I've missed my daily dose of Gh.

This is Ashley signing off, love you all and Happy GH watching.
