Members JaneAusten Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 I thought the JHC was not a sure thing at AMC or Broderick? Now Jamey is saying its a done deal? Yeah I find it hard to believe only 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Wasn't he the one who said one reason he was hesitant was because PP was asking people to sign before people knew who the EP and HW were going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yep. It's obvious to me that he (and Looch) want answers before they signed themselves to this. They don't want to be stuck doing the same show they've been doing for the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 I don't get why we're hearing of HW and whatnot for OLTL but yet nada for AMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Watching the video of JHC giving her speech at the cast photo was too funny...some of them were like "Is this bitch serious?" and others were like "Who IS this bitch?"

Members JaneAusten Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 What is the issue with JHC other than that she can't manage a budget and seems to let the HW's and Frons run all over her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Agreed. It does worry me having Melissa and Michael Easton both back, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 He accused Kristian Alphonzo of getting Crystal Chappel fired. You know what a fanboy he is of CC's and how much he hates KA, Well the Hope and Bope fans got after him and complained to TV Guide. 2 days later he "resigned" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 I think it's progressively gotten worse actually. I mean even stuff like the Kish love scenes seem like they wouldn't exist (no matter what the character's gender) in the past year of OLTL. I always wonder if this is just sorta an honourary title, or if they actually get more say. I know when Pratt went to AMC he got (as he usuallys eems to) a consulting producer title.

Members JaneAusten Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 I just don't get this big boost OLTL supposedly got. It was really the 2 Todd story that pushed them ahead. Gaining ground because GH continues to lose audience as does BB and YR to me is not a gain. And look at TeamEric's numbers. OLTL is again behind their demos from this time last year. They have just lost less ground than the other shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 RC definitely has helped with the camp and shirtlessness, though it seems FV is all too happy to go along with it. To be fir, OLTL has increased viewers at time when soaps generally aren't, even if it was anceled, so I'm sure that's a point in his favour. (and "man flesh" or not, as annoyed as I am with some of OLTL right now, I'll still take it over Higley's horrific tenure). Oy yoy yoy.... I am horrified by the idea of what Whitesell's AMC would look like, even if he co-HW with Broderick like they did at OLTL. Funny, and I thought one of her few strengths was meant to be that the cast "adored" her... So JHC is on board? Meh blah. At this point I just picture him lounging around, getting drunk, and tweeting whatever pops into his head... Lack of vision. To be fair, I think it was hard for an EP at AMC to have a vision, when the vision mandates seemed to be dictated by Frons and other execs--but a good EP should have some creative vision and pull, even if it's largely just guiding the HW in the right direction and tone. JHC exhibits absolutely none of that. I'm actually still not really worried. They seem to be in very different places in terms of cast, timing, everything--although I agree news of a HW would be nice, and seemingly should be made by now.

Members marceline Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 I know some people are worried/excited about the thought that PP is focusing on OLTL "over" AMC. But as somebody whose "loyalties" are well documented on this board, I can say that I'm not upset. If it's true that PP has decided to focus their time, energy and money on OLTL, I don't think that costs AMC anything. In fact, I think it benefits AMC. Let's imagine that PP chooses to launch OLTL in January and "table" AMC. If OLTL is wildly successful that only increases the motivation to launch AMC. If OLTL flames out, then they're they ones who get raked over the coals and no one gets to write the "Is the Webby the new version of the Daytime Emmy??!!" headlines. So even though it's not my show, I want PP to focus all their attention on OLTL and I call on my fellow AMC fans to support them. OLTL's success is good for all of us. Even the PGP fans. Who knows? Maybe we can resurrect other shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
