“As the World Turns” Makes Its Final Rotation

Posted by Mark O. Estes on 6/25/10 • Categorized as Television

Sudser “As the World Turns” took a last spin on its axis this week, according to EW.com. The show, which has been on air for 54 years, has taped its final episode. The 13,858th episode will air in September on CBS.

The show’s cancellation was announced last December due to it being the lowest-rated soap opera on the air. Since the announcement, the soap has managed to have past characters, including Sabrina and Frannie Hughes (reprised by Julianne Moore), return to the show to send it out in style. While the fan favorites paraded Oakdale, Illinois for one last go, the production behind ATWT, TeleNext Media, tried valiantly to save the show and sell it to another network or syndication, but there weren’t any buyers. CBS has yet to name a replacement for the show.

Are you sad about the loss of ‘As the World Turns’?
