Members marceline Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 I think that was Nelson who said LB was going to OLTL or maybe one of the mags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TeamEric Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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.

Members JaneAusten Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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?

Members JaneAusten Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LeClerc Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 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.
