Members Jonathan Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 It's definitely a lot fancier then their diggs on the upper west side. http://www.andritastudios.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 No taping next week for AMC. A fair assumption here is they're going dark to give the actors the chance to contemplate the big move before giving an answer when they return to work on the 17th.

Members DRW50 Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 So if they are paying money to rent, are they even saving any money with this big move that is supposedly going to cut costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 ^^^ They'll be able to have permanent sets, right? If so then wouldn't they still save the money they'd be paying the union crew to repeatedly assemble, strike, and move the sets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 Oh yeah, the Andrita Studios are gorgeous and huge (I've been there before). One of the soundstages is probably the size of the entire studio in New York -- "The View's" space included! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 Or... it could have absolutely nothing to do with that. They could be going dark for summer vacation like The View did yesterday. I swear! People are reading into every - little - thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 But they won't be renting space to store their sets anymore. ABC is also going to be saving money by moving staffers from rented offices in NY into OLTL's old studio, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 Exactly....just wait until OLTL goes dark for a week later this month. Everybody will saying similar things about that soap then, even though it was announced a couple of months ago that the soap would be taking a week off in August since they are so far ahead with taping episodes. Honestly people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 Self-edit! They usually don't get a week off during the summer if I remember correctly, and it makes sense to give them a week off to discuss and contemplate this issue and make a decision. It's not a small or easy decision. Plus, we have been told they've been given approximately a week to make a decision on if they're going to L.A. or quitting.

Members R Sinclair Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 The two stages there are 18,000 and 10,000 square feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nell17 Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 I bet Robin Strasser would love that. She sounds like she called dibs on Susan's dressing room already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 I think this is the reason. Even Susan said they shot a marathon of episodes. It was probably because it's everyone's summer vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 Well, since ABC seems to like sticking it to Strasser, maybe this would be one more Gotcha-Gotcha! I can theorize about conspiracies, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 Frons should replace Barbara with La Lucci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 They didn't tape a marathon of episodes. They taped a big dance marathon event, which also ensured that pretty much everyone would be at the studio for Frons' surprise visit (or maybe I'm reading too much into that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
