Members Vee Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 What on Earth does this have to do with P&G? I don't remember her ever being approached about ATWT and GL. To be quite honest, I've always believed that if this venture can succeed it can only mean potential futures for those shows, EON and others someday.

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Cool, I'm glad we will get to see the beginning episodes on TV, in HD & have the option to snag 'em ;-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Now the removal of cuss words makes sense. OWN should really getting some boosted ratings if all goes good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Can we not turn this into that? I wonder if she ends up getting a little flack for this, LOL. But good news! I've been awful the last month keeping up but between a bad sinus infection, jobs, etc. it's been tough. Too bad I don't have OWN anymore though LOL. I can get behind that, Vee. I'll send off an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LeClerc Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 What now? Is the "Put it on a real channel and I'll watch" crowd stubbornly sticking to their Oprah boycott? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 LOL. A majority (most? lol) come off as trolls. They make soap fans look awful, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 When P&G sells the rights to their shows and someone continues those shows, perhaps Oprah can pick them up as reruns. As it stands, she still is not picking up any costs to produce two soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LindaTNo1 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Maybe this will be the start of something positive after all these changes. I think OWN will test these shows to see if they can find an audience with good enough ratings to go into the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yay! I haven't watched since the first week but I will now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I guess I have to DVR them every damn day too, despite having watched them all. And yes, P&G is those soaps' enemy. If P&G ever relents, and this venture is successful, then maybe ATWT, GL, etc. can have a shot. I would love that. But first P&G has to dare to share its toys.

Members P.J. Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Even if she wasn't (and I believe she was, 'cause GL fans lobbied everyone from the minute GL's announcement hit), it's painful. It may not be rational, but that's my immediate reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Oprah, girl you posted the wrong date, but still thanks! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 So now Oprah is to blame for ATWT and GL not being resurrected? She didn't want to touch AMC and OLTL either and is now doing so because someone is else is footing the bill. It seems childish to get mad at her about the P&G soaps.

Members marceline Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Pretty much. They're taking shots at Oprah for having passed on them two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
