A growing number of media outlets are reporting that ABC is on the verge of axing ALL MY CHILDREN, the youngest soap (at 41 years old) in its venerable lineup. Though the network hasn't axed a soap since PORT CHARLES bit the dust in 2003, the well-documented financial troubles of the soap industry have forced ABC to make some drastic moves over the past few years, including transplanting AMC to cheaper L.A. digs. Talk of AMC's cancellation heated up when the network began to develop the Tori Spelling talk show that is rumored to be taking its time slot. A network rep isn't issuing any denials, but dismisses the chatter, telling Digest, "The piece is just another story in a long line of stories about this same topic again and again."
