![]() Los Angeles, CA (CNS) -- The longtime running soap "As the World Turns" has been canceled. CBS announces that it will end the series' 54-year run on September 17, 2010. CBS' Senior VP for Daytime Programming, Barbara Bloom, said in a statement, "It's extremely difficult to say goodbye to a long-running series that's been close to our hearts for so long." "The almanacs will show As the World Turns as a pioneer of the format, a hallmark for quality with its numerous Emmy's, the launching pad for many television and film stars and a daytime ratings powerhouse for parts of three decades." The soap, set in the fictional town of Oakdale, Illinois and filmed in New York, debuted on air on April 2, 1956. It has spawned stars out of some of Hollywood's heavyweights, including Meg Ryan, Julianne Moore, Parker Posey, and James Earl Jones among many others.
