What's great, Shawn? I'll work and support it if it has to do with AW, but
can't do so if I don't know what it is?

Kerr,
Of course it has to do with Another World. This is a campaign to get
executives to know that there is still a big fan base for the show, and that
while we know that it will not be brought back in full, we would still support
our characters being integrated onto other soaps such as ATWT or GL as their
character. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A SPIN OFF, which would be so wonderful for AW
fans.
