The Soapgeist 8/23/10

I wonder if this is about the 20 episodes being slashed from each ABC soap?

[Ann_SS]

A mandatory meeting for OLTL's cast makes me think budget/salary cuts.

[chrishntr]

I really hope it's not being canceled, I know it probably doesn't have that many years left, but don't want it to go.

[DeeeDee]

LMAO

[Eric83]

I wish it was, so it could get an HD upgrade.

I doubt it is about the slashing of 20 episodes if AMC/GH aren't having a meeting.

I doubt it is being cancelled, yes because of Kim Zimmer. Why bring her on, and cancel the show? And plus the 20 episode thing hasn't went into affect yet, so can't be that.

Reality check Nelson: Right now OLTL isn't all that and a bag of chips, no matter how much you try to spin it.

[NYC123]

A Meeting. Doesn't sound to promosing.

There HAS to be HUGE budget cuts coming.

[NYC123]

Also his obsession with OLTL just keeps getiting worse and worse. He really NEEDS to stop with his AMC hate just because AMC moved out to OLTL and his precious OLTL didn't.

And it's when I see Jean listed there has the soap killer when she really hasn't started yet.

Where is Ron Carlavati?? OLTL stinks right now.

[DRW50]

I hope all the black cast members are ready to find other jobs.

I also wonder if this is the end of the line for Cole and Marty.

Don't think we'll be seeing Roxy again either, or Renee...

[Eric83]

Destiny is the only black cast member on contract.

Why would we not see Renee or Roxy ever again? They are just recurring.

And I PRAY TO GOD Cole and Marty pack their [!@#$%^&*] and get out of Llanview.

[DRW50]

We don't see Moelle anymore (not that I miss them), or Shane, since he was on recurring, although perhaps I just skip his scenes.

Terrell Tilford is on contract isn't he?

I said this in the other thread but I'm guessing, some or all of Charlie, Brody, Langston, Matthew, Marty, Cole, Clint.

[shadow]

Terrel Tifford is on contract.

[Eric83]

Forgot about him. LOL. He shouldn't be around too much longer though, being Eli's accomplice and all.

[EricaKane70]

Didn't this fool basically kiss Vanessa Marcil's azz a couple of columns back about her coming back, and now he comes back to reality to realize that her brendathon was a flop. Way to flip flop.

[JimTolkien]

ITA, most likely budget cuts and you know those cuts are going to go to some other dept that is profitable. Damn, I hope all these actors & actresses are out there auditioning for other stuff even the #1 Daytime soap. Cause you never know, they could be just letting out the rope long enough until one hang oneself!!
