Members Soapsuds Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Without talking about who was let go....what is going on at OLTL?? Why all the massive firings?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 They're making room for Thorsten and Alicia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 I think RC is on his way out too. I do think they're trying to woo back Roger Howarth, but I can't see him returning given he left for what they wanted to turn Todd into, which they have done. Unless they go the TSJ is actually Walker Lawrence brainwashed by Mitch, and was never Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm wondering if Ron is on his way out too. Seems like everything he wrote is being dismantled in a short amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 I would hardly call them "massive firings" when none of those let go had been on the show for more than about three years. Same goes for calling it a bloodbath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm not upset over the last firing. I thought she was suppose have done a few episode when she came back but they decided to keep her longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 I understand that but for those who loved the actors being fired it massive. How can it not be a bloodbath?? How many firings have happened in the last few weeks?? It's up to 6 or more already.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 So far *confirmed* have been 4 contract firings: CH, DD, SC, and BC. AW and TS are on recurring basis now. And SE was already recurring....and you can't exactly fire someone who's on recurring status, you just quit using them. I think it's more or less just spring cleaning, and getting rid of some of the excess cast members...after all OLTL does have a rather large cast these days.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 WTF happened to OLTL? It seemed like in a matter of weeks, it completely fell apart. I see absolutely nothing interesting going on right now or anything to look forward to on the horizon. Everything is a big fail. The characters are acting out of character, the stories suck and the plots make little sense with no build up or payoff. I have so much anticipation for AMC and even get some enjoyment out of GH but OLTL is so bland right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 It is a sea change in terms of storylines and direction, but I'm not sure RC will be let go. Maybe a co-HW but RC or not, new HW, co-HW or not, you don't do all this for a cancelled soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 I think that is a response to ABC demanding OLTL slash its budget. OLTL is the anti-Days. OLTL is cutting off the supporting players instead of the main problem players. I have to think that lay offs are occurring behind the scenes also. I doubt that RC's job in jeopardy.

Members Leia Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 The show has a different feel to it. Something is definitely going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 I just hope there aren't any more firings. All the people fired so far, for the most part were some of the things keeping me hanging on. I really don't see good things in OLTL's future, creative wise.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Im about ready to drop the show. I need a good reason to stick with it but I cant think of one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leia Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 It's like they blamed these minor characters but the major players who are more responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
