Members trish672 Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 I don't fault JPL for sucking up. You do what you have to do when looking for that next job. I do fault him for doing it publically. The smart ones do it discretely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shadow Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 Yeah that JPL statement soubnds like arse kissing to me, he prolly wants a job on GH. The whole great Frons "decision making" is foul imo to all those who just lost their jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 I just can't believe TIIC in charge say there's no fanbase for soaps. You tell me, was there 112 pages of discussion when they cancelled "Hope&Faith"? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 It's 112 pages by the same 20 people. That's the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TeamEric Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 True because most soap fans don't visit the soap boards. OLTL Facebook had over 12,000 responses to the cancellation thread and most were not repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 I think there is still a fanbase for serialized drama - there are so many dramas that have obsessive fans - but the current soaps are not in any shape to channel any of that. If they were, then there would be a way to make some money even with low ratings, through sponsor deals and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bella1974 Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 The ratings system isn't perfect, and it doesn't give a totally accurate depiction, but the results that show that viewers are leaving this genre at an alarming rate are true. Serialized daytime dramas have been in trouble for decades, but no one has done anything to correct so many of the problems that they have, so now it doesn't matter. Nothing that anyone can do can repair this genre's bad image, and it's that image that will keep the genre from growing, so it can't continue in its current form.

Members matthewson Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 Robin is an amazing actress, but she also comes across as a shrew and a diva onscreen. So much that what we hear about her offscreen doesn't surprise me. Some of the stuff that she's said on her own hotline is just disgusting. In many ways, Robin seems almost exactly like Dorian. Dorian is a legacy character, but she comes across to me as extremely entitled and obnoxious. As for JPL, I can't blame him. When I was in college, I kissed up with literally every job interview that I got. Since so many say that JPL is a Frons favorite, that really is more reason for him to praise Frons. Just about every actor and actress, no matter how talented or untalented they may be, are going to need all the help they can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 Farrah Fath says that JPL was being sarcastic. http://daytimeconfidential.zap2it.com/2011/04/18/one-life-to-lives-farah-fath-jp-was-being-sarcastic Ya, sure he was...

Members DRW50 Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 Frons is not likely to be able to help outside of a short term role on GH, unless some other network hires him to kill their lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm gonna choose to believe him. Because...I just want to. I want to believe that no actor is that much of a sycophantic douche and given how completely weasely that sentence is I'm going to officially sign on to it as sarcasm gone bad. John-Paul, I hereby unpunch you in the throat. Don't make me regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
