Members Eric83 Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Your last post in the cancellation made me smile so much. I can't believe the shows were saved. I hope this multi-year is clad iron contract, gives these shows at least 2 or 3 years. I can't take another Passions situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Yeah, and for the youngins, it's kind of like being all set to get your own apartment when your parents tell you that you can have the full finished basement to yourself for only $100/month.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 I know that's what they claimed, but these webisodes will be produced by an independent production company (via licensing from ABC/Disney), right? I know they don't have Disney money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 7, 2011 Administrator Share Posted July 7, 2011 There's no way it's going to be the same budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Who would you like to see as HW and EP on AMC and OLTL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Clear Drama Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Priority #1 You have to sign Lucci and Slezak Priority #2 Keep Lorraine and Valentini Priority #3 Salvage as much of the young leads and supporting cast as you can & advertising.

Members NYC123 Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 They definitively don't but the one thing I liked was that both of the people who bought it worked for ABC at one point. So they do know how to run the shows. Hopefully the cutbacks won't show up on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 I hope OLTL cuts all of their teens except for Matthew, Dani, and Destiny. Gets rid of the Fords and Jessica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 I saw people questioning how the union rules and pay scales will work on twitter. There are a lot of questions, but since AMC and OLTL just came back from the dead, I almost feel like there is nothing to lose. Even if it's a once a week show, that's something.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Yeah, the only way I could take an entirely teen-focused OLTL is if Matthew and Destiny were the leads. I wouldn't min occasionaly appearances by Starr or Dani, but they all really need to be cut in this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Don't blow up their website or anything, but I think some concise, well-thought letters to Prospect expressing what you felt worked and didn't work for prior experiments of soaps on diminished budgets may be constructive. And of course show your delight and gratitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wizzerkat Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 From Richard at SID: A setsider tells us ALL of the #AMC actors are free of their contracts as of Sept. Meaning Prospect Park would have to start from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 That is good for Prospect because now they can negotiate with the actors. Don't need to pay the actors more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wizzerkat Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 The whole fallout from this is going to be the best daytime drama yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 In a good way. I can't wait to hear from the cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
