Here's a clip to show you what I'm talking about :

What do you guys think of the change? Do you think this will catch on to other soaps and series?

Do you watch ATWT as well? They already did this last year with "In Turn," a reality show aired online. The winner of In Turn won a 13 week contract with ATWT.
ATWT (also a part of the P&G family) switched to handhelds also last year. I've been a lifelong ATWT fan, but I guess I've been indifferent to it. I don't know if I like it or not...it's just...DIFFERENT, I guess.
Anyway,
cutting costs seems to be the reason they're doing it this way to avoid going off the air.
