Members bellcurve Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 Dear God! FREEmantle has a stake in an American soap opera?! UGH! They can barely respect or market the Goodson/Todman lot without pissing and defacating on everything that made their shows successful. Even the fact that they just want to sell the show in international syndication disgusts me. YUCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm loving watching him go to pieces. By the time the hammer finally comes down on OLTL, he'll be on his second round of ECT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 NB claims that Frons owes Pratt and Guza his job. http://tvguide.ca/Soaps/Suds/Articles/091002_suds_report_NB.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Doyen Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ugh. Who hired Branco? He's like TV Guide's answer to Roger Friedman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 Next thing you know, Branco will say OLTL's cancellation was "homophobic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 They shouldn't have announced it till they knew they had the funding Yep this is exactly it IMO. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 So what if Frons is bias towards Guza and Pratt. Branco is bias toward Carlivati and Valentini cause he has the hots for them...LOL. The stories could be dog doo..and Branco would still love them....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Doyen Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 Agreed. Even though I'm a OLTL fan, NB's girlie gushing of it gets on my nerves. His continuous valentines aren't doing the show any favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 I am liking OLTL. I can't stomach AMC. But Branco isnt helping out with his hideous posts about watching OLTL....totally begging his readers to watch it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 Soon after the announcement, DC claimed that it was not going to happen so it is unlikely that ABC ever intended to take OLTL HD. If they wanted to, they would find the money. True dat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 Really? I didn't know DC had said that. Interesting. Makes the OLTL cancellation rumors seem stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 He's not doing OLTL any favours with his acting up. Nor is he doing the soap community any favoursby going on about how he and we all shoudl boycott AMC, no matter how bad he finds it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 Frons is in charge. Branco isn't. I don't care what Branco blathers about, Frons is the one who makes the decisions, and as always, they seem to have little to do with logic. Anyone who does or does not base their OLTL opinion on Branco is probably not that interested in the show anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 Branco isn't the only person I've heard the scoop on Frons's relationships with Pratt and Guza from. News is news and the ulterior motive is very well-defined. It's a pretty disgusting bit of favoritism/nepotism. While they may be close ratings-wise, the difference between AMC and OLTL is night and day. AMC is weak, doddering, on the verge of death. OLTL is strong, rich, and fun despite some problems. You can smell death on a soap when a certain time comes; I can smell it on AMC and ATWT, not OLTL, not by a longshot. That's why I've always been hesitant to believe this show will go off the air as soon as people want to think. I still don't know what to think. All I know is the idea that OLTL could be cancelled as soon as some project, while AMC continues to croak forward, is utterly unacceptable to me. I think if that does happen, it'll be as Jamey Giddens predicts, an AW/SuBe situation - one goes only to buy the other show exactly five months. Then they'll have lost two soaps for nothing. I prefer to believe OLTL will end up sticking it out til at least 2011. That I can live with. The hint of anything else makes me sick and angry in a way that I have not begun to deal with, and don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 9, 2009 Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 Frons can crow about GH being the only ABC soap to survive, and he will then have tons more money to dump into his pet. And he will probably have Pratt shipped back to GH as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
