I don't like what is getting back to me.
ABC announced this week the Katie Couric had been hired to do an afternoon talk show which is tentatively scheduled to take the time slot currently occupied by long running soap opera General Hospital, which puts into question what will become of the residents of Port Charles.
Couric, who left he post as host of the CBS Evening News with nothing short of abysmal ratings, is certain to bomb in this new venture. To think ABC would sunset GH for Couric would call into question sound thinking at ABC/Disney and cause one to consider a sell rating on Disney stock (DIS:NYSE). As a longtime shareholder, I plan to make my voice heard at the next shareholders meeting.
GH is iconic, and has spurned more actors and singers than you would ever know. Demi Moore, Richard Simmons, Bahl's Babe Vanessa Marcil and Richard Dean Anderson are just a few of the actors while Ricky Martin, Jack Wagner and Rick Springfield are former GH cast members with Billborad #1 songs to their credit.
On the backdrop of this unwelcome news, it was Rick Springfield performing live this evening in downtown Orlando. In honor of Dr. Noah Drake, and in support of General Hospital, the Sunday Night Song tonight is Rick Springfield with Don't Talk To Strangers!
