We need to bring that into the ratings thread, lol.

" A person or group treated without the favor of birthright."

I think Frons enjoyed experimenting with AMC like a toy which doesn't exactly make them the red-headed stepchild that OLTL is/was to ABC/Frons.

I guess I just don't know if they would make the investment if it was just to push their new shows. I think they do genuinely want the shows to succeed, they just may be leaning too much on the personnel of the last few years.

Like I said it's win-win for PP. They buy market share for their new platform and if AMC/OLTL succeed, it's great.

But I don't see PP (so far) making investment in improving the shows. They bought the same sets, wardrobes, and actors... it's all the same which excite some soap fans but I'm disappointed. This I thought was a real chance to rebuild.

I hope JR doesn't kill anyone.... Important....

I thought about this. I'm thinking it's Jack, considering how Erica just tossed him aside today.

Yes, PP have 2 soaps under development. One is titled Diplomatic Immunity but can't recall the other.

PP will get the long-term fans to move over and invest in their version of AMC/OLTL... then slowly hope to get them hooked on their new soaps, too. If PP pulls the plug on AMC and OLTL after 1-2 years they can say, look we saved them and did our best but couldn't financially make it work. Soap fans will buy that, IMO.

AMC and OLTL need to be modernized badly to suit digital media and primetime audiences and yet PP is keeping the same old personnel.

I agree with all that, but I'm starting to guess that some of our "favorites" are probably behind these new soaps too ;)

Agreed. And of course the best way to bring in an initial audience to new shows would be to air them after, or sandwhiched between AMC and OLTL. I still think initially leaning on "established" personel sorta makes sense if they don't really know creatively what they're doing yet.

Weekdays, just before 11 a.m., Martha Torres would lean out the kitchen door of her modest Albuquerque home and beckon her two granddaughters: "It's almost time."

Forty-one years is a long time to spend in one town, but that's how long I've been making a regular pilgrimage to Pine Valley, the setting for 'All My Children.' On Friday, my regular visits will end.

Love it. I appreciate that he couldn't say this stuff before--but that he seems to agree with most fans about where Tad went wrong (though he doesn't specifically mention doctor in a box death), and also that Damon--t least at first--and Cara were recent highlights with him.

I do agree there--he did seem to ignore OLTL the most (which seems to have been at least ratings wise a blessing, ultimately). I appreciated that Tad even mentioned Frons' mandate to try to make it Sex and the City.

Those both are great. The latter one actually makes me wanna read Alice Hoffman's novels (I only know Practical Magic from the movie which I hear is very different).

Well, FV is the VP of serialized dramas for PP.

However, he's not one of my favorites as I find him a good money man, not a visionary.
