Members DaytimeFan Posted December 3, 2007 Members Share Posted December 3, 2007 I wouldn't be the least surprised if LML washed up at AMC with her husband, son, Hamner and her collection of prime time pals. I don't know how she'd do at AMC, my suspicion is that she'd probably last a year or less with Brian Frons' constant interference, it would be a battle of the epic egos. I really wouldn't wish LML on any soap, but with the way things are at AMC, she might be a slight improvement. Overall, I just hope that plot driven bitch is off Y&R post haste and that Kay Alden is back where she belongs, at the helm of Y&R! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 3, 2007 Members Share Posted December 3, 2007 I don't think LML will pop up on any soap. Judging by her physical appearance, she looks sick as hell, the pace of writing and producing a soap at the same time is getting to her. Daytime just isn't her thing, she'll probably move on to creating and writing for another FLOP primetime show. At the same time, Sony better know who the f-u-c-k they're going to hire to replace her... And heh, at this point, maybe LML would be an improvement at AMC, but we all know Frons wants to kill that show and spin Night Shift off into a daytime drama.

Members ljacks13 Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 Striking writers, studios renew talks as hopes fade By Steve Gorman 24 minutes ago Striking film and television writers returned to the bargaining table with studio executives on Tuesday amid fading optimism for a speedy settlement to Hollywood's worst labor crisis in 20 years. The two sides resumed contract negotiations as 10,500 members of the Writers Guild of America hit the one-month mark of a walkout that has idled production on dozens of TV shows and several high-profile movies, including a planned sequel to "The Da Vinci Code." Prospects for a quick deal seemed to soar when the parties agreed last month to renew formal negotiations for the first time since the work stoppage began on November 5, following months of rancor over how much writers should be paid for their work on the Internet. But hopes were quickly dashed as the resulting four-day round of talks ended last Thursday with union leaders lifting a media blackout to sharply criticize a management offer touted by the studios as "groundbreaking." Studio executives reacted with dismay, disparaging union leaders in a wave of published but anonymous comments as being more interested in stoking antagonism than in making a deal. The studios' bargaining entity, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, struck a more conciliatory tone in an open letter that ran on Tuesday as an advertisement in the entertainment trade paper Daily Variety. "Ours is not a 'take it or leave it' offer," the AMPTP statement said. "It is designed to allow both sides to engage in the kind of substantive give-and-take negotiation that can lead to common ground." The WGA was expected this week to present a counteroffer. A STICKY WEB The outcome of the negotiations hinge on writers' demands for a greater share of revenue for content distributed via the Internet, widely seen as the delivery pipeline of choice for most filmed entertainment in the not too distant future. In terms of sheer dollar figures, the two sides do not appear to be that far apart. The AMPTP puts the entire value of its compensation package at more than $130 million in new earnings for writers over three years. The union said its own plan would cost the film and TV industry $151 million over three years, amounting to a 3 percent increase in writers' collective annual earnings. But the two sides apparently disagree sharply over the economic assumptions of each other's proposals, and the guild insists the studios are offering too little for the Internet and other new media. For example, the union has faulted the studios' offer of a single, fixed payment of $250 a year for an hourlong TV series when streamed over the Internet. The WGA says that amounts to a tiny fraction of more than $20,000 in "residual" fees writers now stand to earn for network reruns. The writers also say the studios still refuse to establish a payment scheme for original content created especially for the Internet, and to go beyond their initial proposal to pay the same rates for digital downloads as for DVDs. The last major Hollywood strike, a 1988 walkout by the WGA, lasted more than five months and cost the entertainment industry an estimated $500 million.

Members ljacks13 Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 CBS chief casts doubt writers' strike can end soon 1 hour, 8 minutes ago CBS Corp Chief Executive Leslie Moonves said on Tuesday he was not sure there would be a quick resolution to the screenwriters strike against Hollywood studios because the two sides remain "far apart." "I am hopeful, I'm not terribly optimistic," Moonves said as screenwriters and studios were due to resume negotiations to end a strike now in its fifth week. "It's important both sides stay in the room to discuss the issues and come to a resolution," Moonves said at an investor conference sponsored by UBS. He added, however, that "personality disputes between the different sides" have slowed negotiations. The Writers Guild of America went on strike on November 5 after the collapse of talks with the major film and television studios, halting nearly 20 years of labor peace in Hollywood. At issue are writers' demands for a greater share of revenue from the Internet, widely seen as a key future distribution channel for most entertainment. "We are trying to figure out what the world of new media will be. Hopefully, we can come to some resolution with them, that they can share in the pie," Moonves said. "Right now, we don't know what that pie is." If the strike continues, Moonves said, "We are certainly not going to go dark," describing a schedule that could include some reality programs, content from CBS's Showtime division and shows like sports and holiday specials. He added, "Ratings will probably not be as high without the influence of original programming, but costs will be down." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 and amen to Kay coming back to Y&R - even though I've highly enjoyed her on B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 Considering what we have now, I wish. Sure, she wasn't up to Y&R standards, but compared to Guza and B&E, I say bring it on. Just stay away from OLTL because that show is doing better right now.
