But oy the whiplash bnever ends--wasn't it these same people who said LB was going to OLTL?

I think that was Nelson who said LB was going to OLTL or maybe one of the mags?

And I find Hollywood's sexism and ageism offensive, too and I call them over it, too.

And no one said you couldn't, but you also can't stop me from being being realistic about people's prospects in that environment.

But get high and mighty with the woman who said it:

You're right. I missed Marceline's post and I am sorry I truly didn't realize you were quoting her words back.

My objection goes Marceline's way.

Your objection has been noted for the record. LOL!

TOLN is boring, but... Maybe they think people will happen to find their site when searching for "online" and "network" and become fans or something

Is it me or does PP have the most incompetent (or nonexistant) marketing team?

Couldn't they have cut a 30 second AD with the website name to air during AMC's finale? They missed a HUGE opportunity not to hire Lucci to do that commercial and encourage fans to sign up for updates. They could have reaped a gold mine of email addresses to promote their new launch.

Also, TOLN does not roll off the lips easily... it's not a catchy hip name either

I do object. I wish more women would object to perpeuating Hollywood's sexist trash talk.

But hey, as I said I spoke only for myself.

AS someone who's been critical of PP I think the name keeps it simple and easy for people to find. NO its not sexy or cool or hip but I am not sure thats what they are selling right now. Maybe somewhere down the road when they find their niche they rebrand. Having worked for a successful technology company for years that rebranded into a hip internet company (with a new name developed by a top Marketing firm) I rememeber a lot of current customers doing a complete WTF on the new name and just didn't get it and I don't recall new customers the company was going after thinking it was particularly clever, so maybe simplicity makes sense here.

It is offensive but sadly its reality. I wish actresses would have the guts to stick with who they are rather than trying to be carbon copies of what the "establishment" think sells. Its the differences and imperfections that make someone unique but then look who runs the industry. Its an industry more sexist than the technolgy industry is

The name could be worse. I was afraid they'd go with something completely overblown like "Excelsior Synergystic Entertainment Hub.com." Simple can suck too. "The Chew" anyone?

I think it just rings of someone who really hasn't crafted out their identity yet. ANd thats ok. I think at some point they will find their niche and probably like so many cable networks have will rebrand.

Even though ABC will benefit in some financial way from this, I still suspect that Frons and crew would NOT have been congenial to allowing PP advertising on their network--especially when busy promoting The Chew.

And sadly I think it's just getting worse, instead of better, even with the increased diversity due to cable, etc--I see it happening more and more with men in the industry as well, instead of it getting better for women.

I think the name's fine. It'll come up in lots of random google searches ("all my children online" etc), and I'm sure they will rebrand.

Looks like La Lucci and Liza will be on GMA tomorrow to promote Liza's new baby product line.

See you on @GMA tomorrow morning @ 8:45 am...featuring@sagespoonfuls..you'll also see my beautiful granddaughter, Hayden!

I'm sad that we didn't get to hear someone, anyone refer to Erica as a grandmother before AMC ended.

I'm not as sure as others that RC staying with OLTL has any effect on LB's status with AMC. SOD and SOW both reported hearing that LB is moving to OLTL, but didn't state that she would necessarily be headwriter.

I think most of the players involved were pretty sure that RC would remain with OLTL. Moreover, if OLTL did need a new headwriter because RC was contractually obligated to (or just wanted to) be a scriptwriter at GH I imagine FV would have given the job to Anna Cascio, Jean Passanante or Chris Van Etten, writers he knows well and who have helped execute his and RC's vision.

I don't even want LB to be AMC's headwriter (at least not solo) but if she's going to be on either show's writing team she should be at AMC.
