Members LoyaltoAMC Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 As Jonathan mentioned above, he is at a standstill with ABC, not AMC. ABC, or whoever their parent company is nowadays, pays his salary. If he reaches an impasse with ABC, he's off the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted February 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yes he is in talks with ABC for AMC. They are negotiating with AMC's money and not OLTL. If OLTL decides they do want him then they would negotiate with OLTL's money. And remember it has already been stated on several boards that OLTL has more money than AMC. Also the OLTL stars were evidently not required to take pay cuts. I think that is why the article goes on to say that OLTL has not actively pursued him yet.

Members bellcurve Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 But would Frons, who Erika Slezak says approves all story ideas, approve of AMC's biggest star jumping ship to another soap on the same network in a different role? Maybe that's what everyone is trying to say. I could care less where Kaye ends up. I'd like him to stay on AMC, but only if boring Zendull is broken up. Those two absolutely suck the life out of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DavidEvanSmith Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 We're assuming that this wasn't orchestrated by Frons. Perhaps he sees more value in Kaye being on OLTL and so FRONS is why contract talks aren't going well... it makes an offer from OLTL look more attractive if AMC doesn't seem to be giving Kaye what he wants. Or this could just be a dog and pony show and all parties amicably want Kaye to land on OLTL, but this is all to soften the blow to Zendall fans.

Members alwaysAMC Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 It would be very interesting to see how the ratings compare post-Zach and post-Zendall (if he were to leave...). I would love the ratings to go up or at least stay the same, just so I can throw it back in the diehard Zendall fans' faces! BAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dc cubs Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 We don't know what the impasse is about either. A lot of people are assuming it is a money issue. I'm not so sure that is the case. Everyone knows the state of daytime and top stars are being either fired or asked to take pay cuts. I think TK's issue is with story direction for Zach. Plus he may want more time off. He is on almost every single day and might want to spend more time with his family. I'm not sure going to OLTL is the answer as stated already Frons is the top dog there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted February 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 Bellcurve, As long as Zach stays on AMC he will always be tied to Kendall. I would not mind Zach staying if they broke up Zendall but it will never happen - Frons is too chicken. So I am more than happy to see Zach go so that we can rid of Zendall too. They are boring and so toxic. They need to be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Peyton Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 I agree. I'm sick of Zach. AMC would be better off without Zach and more balance on the show. AMC ratings would be just fine without Zach. It's obvious nothing much raises or lowers the ratings for AMC. The core base audience remains the same.

Members jadestar Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm so tired of Zach and Zendall so I hope TK leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 Oh how sweet that would be! I pray to god he leaves. AMC would be so much better without the thug that is Zach Slater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 I don't think people realize how bad Zach Slater has been for AMC. He is the kind of character that is just plain unsuited to the show. AMC was a show about polite people. Zach is a thug. He's the Irish Sonny Corinthos. It's terrible.

Members DaytimeFan Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well then what is Thorsten's accent supposed to be?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 Don't know? Michael didn't have any but Alex SR had one but not the same as Zach's. As far as i know it was never revealed where the Cambias clan where from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
