Members Jonathan Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 Looks like Susan Lucci hosted a lunch for her coworkers. http://twitpic.com/6b5flk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 Awwww I can't imagine how some of these actors, especially Susan, are going to be able to get what may be their final scenes without bawling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 Aww. Very nice of Susan! It's sad for AMC because even though production is moving online, it's still "the end" for a majority of the cast and crew as it's going to be months before they start up production again. For a launch in mid-late-January, wouldn't production have to start up in at the very latest, November? I'd say they need to get up and running ASAP. With OLTL, they will go right from ABC to online so while they WILL lose a lot, it won't be as if the show were truly ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lust4Life76 Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 I sort of wish...and I didn't read through all 78 pages of this post so I apologize if I am double posting but I wish that the two soon to be websoaps, AMC and OLTL, would revert back to thirty minutes instead of a full hour.

Members Jonathan Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 CameronMathison Cameron Mathison In my AMC dressing room on the SECOND LAST Day of shooting. SO strange. Love this place. No doubt lots of emotions the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skiman12082004 Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 I think it's nuts that the cast still seems to be clueless as to what's going on. So are we to assume that PP hasn't offered them contracts yet? I can't imagine PP letting their contracts expire August 31st and not locking them into something else until they are back in January.

Members JaneAusten Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 How do people know the cast is clueless. We know the actors received some sort of proposal from PP just a couple of weeks ago. HOw do we know they want to sign everyone? Maybe they are focusing on who they see is key like Susan first. And who's to say what the content of such proposal is. Maybe many of the actors didn;t like it and they are busy lining up new talent for the online show. Personally I am less concerned about the who they are going to sign versus the what the show is going to be and just maybe the cast is concerned about that too before running to sign on the dotted line.

Members dragonflies Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 Michael Symon, one of the hosts of "The Chew" tweeted There r tons of great soap fans out there..its a shame a cpl bad apples ruin it for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lust4Life76 Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well nobody's going to watch the Chew because obesity is an epidemic and the last thing America needs is to be fed. Besides if I want a cooking show I will learn from the loveable Julia Child in reruns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 This is so true, Erik. If PP was really interested in doing what was best for AMC & OLTL, they would each be cut to 30 minutes (so they could get back to basics). Instead, it looks like (based upon the speculation in this thread and elsewhere) PP is going to go the 13-week "arc" route and/or is going to increase the number of stupid outdoor park scenes. Erik, I'm so glad that you, Carl, and others have had the courage to criticize PP for not even considering cutting back each soap to a half-hour. If I were to ever originate such a sentiment, a few folks here (though certainly not a majority by any means) would immediately launch into nasty personal attacks stating that I am a "disgrunted P&G soap fan bitter that his soaps didn't get saved" (rather than respond to my comments based on their merits).

Members JaneAusten Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 But do we know what PP is going to do? Have THEY made a stmt saying these shows are going to be 1 hour and exactly the same. And I think a lot of us who are kind of enthused about this welcome changes. If all they are going to do is take whats on ABC and move it online I will pass. And I think these shows have more issues other than writing. Pacing, casting, production values should all be concerns and are things that impact viewing acceptance and enjoyment. And I think the 13 week arc is a fantastic idea espeically on the web. Viewers don't have to feel like they have to "invest for life" and like it or not thats been a major turnoff to attracting younger viewers.

Members Vee Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 This is not an issue of having "the courage to criticize." We don't know what PP is doing or how they're doing it. I remain quite optimistic about the venture based on what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
