Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted September 29, 2010 Members Share Posted September 29, 2010 TV Guide One Life to Live Gets a Jolt of Life With New Producer Deal Maybe this will help put those pesky cancellation rumors to rest. TV Guide Magazine has exclusively learned from ABC that the network recently struck new deals with One Life to Live executive producer Frank Valentini and headwriter Ron Carlivati. Valentini, who yesterday celebrated his 25th anniversary with OLTL, has signed a two-year contract to remain with the show. Carlivati's contract is for three years. Unlike CBS and NBC, ABC actually owns its daytime dramas, so the concept of a show pick-up doesn't really apply here. Thus, this news is as close as it comes to ABC acknowledging its commitment to keep the show on the air. Next week, I'll bring you the first post-deal interview with Valentini and Carlivati, in which they discuss their new lease on Life and where they plan to take the show in the future. In the meantime, can we all just relax a little bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MontyB Posted September 29, 2010 Members Share Posted September 29, 2010 I'm not happy RC is staying around, but glad to to know some people around here truly don't know what they are talking about. Whatever happened to Passanante suddenly becoming head writer and taking over Ron's position. Hmmmmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted September 29, 2010 Members Share Posted September 29, 2010 Congrats to OLTL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted September 29, 2010 Members Share Posted September 29, 2010 Not surprised FV was renewed after I read Errol's post that OLTL is only ABC soap able to come under budget. I AM surprised RC was renewed after all the rumors he lost all power after KISH was ousted and he'd be out of a job shortly after JP came onboard. Apparently, there was as much truth to those rumors as FL fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
