Could PC have survived?

Was there any way for PC to have survived past "The Gift?" Or was it doomed to be axed no matter what?

One person I talked to suggested that the problem was the 12:30 timeslot, up against The Young & the Restless, and that no show that was fairly new on ABC was going to stand up against it. So, this person suggested that the schedule should have been refigured as such: move OLTL to noon, AMC to 1, The City could have survived and continued on past '97 airing after AMC, and PC could still have been created and air between The City and GH. Thus, ABC could have survived into the 21st century with 5 soaps. What do you think of this?

I am writing a timeline for an alternate history forum, in which Kurt Cobain doesn't get involved with heroin, and doesn't commit suicide, and thus shows the impact on the world of entertainment because of that. PC plays a small part in it, and ABC does that lineup reshuffling I talked about.

I'm also working on what kind of arcs could have done after "The Gift", especially concerning the continued tension regarding Caleb, as well the discovery of Imani being a werewolf. Taking a page from the likes of American Horror Story, especially its third arc, Coven, why not have witches involved as well. In fact, keeping further inspiration from AHS, why not have Fleetwood Mac make an appearance, and give the revelation that Stevie Nicks is actually a witch in real life. I can picture a meetup and development occurring at a Fleetwood Mac concert (the band would be on tour to promote their Say You Will album at this time, and in the alternate timeline, Christine McVie would still be part of the band) at Port Charles Park, and having certain developments and dialogue against the backdrop of the likes of "Silver Springs" or "Gold Dust Woman." Use the footage from the 1997 live video The Dance as inspiration to picture it:
