Members Eric83 Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Pissy should not be allowed to work in television again. If she and Goutman end up at OLTL, I am out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Frons can always use OLTL's crappy ratings and demos as an excuse to fire Carlivati and Valentini. Never mind that quality and ratings often don't correlate, but it would be right up his alley to hire Goutman and Passanante, even though they would be coming from a canceled show.

Members DeeeDee Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 It will happen. Watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Eleen Wheeler will replace Julie Hanan Carruthers at AMC: LA. Frons will cite the fact that she was once an actress on the show, therefore she knows the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Passannante, didn't she write for OLTL in the mid-90s? Or am I thinking of someone else? I remember 1996, the year of dullness, was that her, Sloane, Laiman? Or another woman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 The sad thing is I really believe Ellen would be a better producer than Carruthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Passanante was Co-HW's with Sloane and Laiman for most of 1996, until the Labine's came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Well, she gets most of her flack for her unwillingness to admit Peakpack was a huge mistake creatively.... I guess my disdain mainly comes from that and how she bragged how hip she was for coming up with this production model that would "save" the show....

Members Llantano Incorporated Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 And I have to agree (and I know they do have a few fans) but the appeal of Gigi and Rex is lost on me as well. Farah is charismatic but she cannot do drama. High drama. Emotion. JPL is a one trick pony if there ever was one. I think OLTL's biggest weakness in the last 10 years has been casting. The younger set on OLTL is incredibly hit or miss. There is a certain young actress who I still cannot believe has been on OLTL as long as she has. She is no great shakes in the looks department and her acting "style" boggles my mind. I find her awful. I still love OLTL, it seems that I will be the only one left watching!

Members Rakesh Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow, this is really shocking. I didn't see this coming at all. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Actually, before Goutman became an outright hack, I was always hoping that one day he would return to AMC as EP. He really cut his teeth in soap directing and in production at AMC in the late 80's an 90's. But that was then, and this is now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 bellcurve has said some of this before but I think the show was, considering the hole it was in thanks to Conboy, fairly well produced in 2004-2006. The quality wasn't always there but some of the show was good. Carruthers is just a yes woman who bleeds money. AMC has been in the red several times during her tenure. But I don't want Wheeler/Kreizman together again, so he'd have to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
