Members Carolyn1980 Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 Looks like they really want viewers 18-34 at the broadcast nets during the daytime: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/467327-Skewing_Younger_in_Daytime_Broadcast_Trades_Soaps_for_Food_Talk_and_Weight_Loss.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 If that's what ABC wants they chose odd shows - both of their shows seem more pitched to 35 and older. I hope that Bridget and Jerome Dobson somehow manage to seize control of GH for the last year. Maybe they can even work with JFP. Imagine Carly giving birth at the vets and Jason as a fry cook.

Members Carolyn1980 Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 It's pretty clear from that article, though, that GH is done, sooner than later. The advertisers are quoted saying the "soaps are dying" and they have no real interest in advertising on them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 We agree on that - I just want to see Guza's show taken away and he has to sit back in the last year and watch the Dobsons run amok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 Wow..this is a bombshell!! Why didnt Bridget and Jerome take over the show?? For Bridget to let her parents show to pretty much go down in flames is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 Because ABC owns the show outright. The Hursley estate probably hasn't gotten their residuals for their creator credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 This suit might pertain to online distribution. When these contracts were made years ago, nobody could predict the ways there would be to profit off the show. How much does GH generate off of iPads for example?

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 They did--the Dobsons wrote it in the 70s bfore they started working at P&G soaps. But I think it was cuz ABC always owned the show--there wasn't much they could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 There is something terribly ironic about a Disney employee telling someone to read a book considering that company made most of its money by raping classic fables and literature.
