Members dragonflies Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 What's wrong with her wanting more money and less hours? give the woman what she wants, it's not like she's not worth it. She's a hot commodity. PP needs her, she doesn't need them. +1 IMO it sound like LaLucci is ready to move on, she's a hot commodity, she'd be better off snapping up something in primetime, maybe she can become a recurring player on Hot in Cleveland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 I find it funny how people find her demands ridiculous. Can I say the same for Tony Geary who works a lot less time for the same money at GH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 We heard one piece of leaked information/gossip. It didn't clearly say what the full issue was, or that they weren't persuing other negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 Exactly! She stuck with this show for 41 years, she could have left for primetime years ago and didn't. I'm starting to wonder if PP can afford to even put both shows online at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 She's probably been offered other projects. So why the heck shouldn't she be selective. I don't see anything unreasonable about her demands. Its like people getting pissed at Charlie Sheen last year asking for a raise. You know what so what. If the demand and need is there why not. Whats odd is PP putting all their eggs in Susans court. Based on Walt Willey's tweet it doesn't even sound as if PP has been in contact with any other cast members at this point.

Members dragonflies Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yeah I agree about the CS thing, if you're hot, you're hot and why not be paid what you're worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 If PP really want Lucci to come on board, leaking this story to Deadline was a bad idea. These are ABC-style tactics all over again. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 I wouldn't call Lucci a hot commodity. If she has so many offers coming her way she wouldn't be angling for a primetime development deal, she'd already have one. Lucci is nothing without AMC and I think this might have been a negotiating ploy gone wrong. But AMC is nothing without Lucci, so they should have found a way to make this work.

Members Jonathan Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 The PR people are earning their money today. La Lucci shouldn't sign without the primetime deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 Would PP actually just drop the show though? haven't they already paid for the sets and leasing it, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 They wouldn't drop it. They're paying money. So we'll see some sort of All My Children incarnation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 That's what I think, but it seems like many naysayers have already jumped on the "it's not gonna happen" bandwagon. Oh and I'm thrilled Erika and to a lesser extent Kassie are staying on with OLTL. I was hoping we'd be rid of John too--Easton is by all reports a nice guy, but the character has just sucked up, and sucked, so much on OLTL for so long now it seems... And I like Ted King but Tomas is a nothing character. Unless they somehow make him relevent, and not just for bringing RH as Todd back, he seems like a waste.

Members DRW50 Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 Charlie Sheen wasn't hot so much as he had become a freak show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 Exactly. They've already made significant investment. That's why I think this is a negotiating tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
