AMC and OLTL Will Move Online!

[Max]

If I was a lifelong AMC fan, I'd be fuming right now. These folks were robbed of closure--and of a satisfying finale--in order to satisfy the demands of executives who never were certain in the first place if AMC would continue online.

The way in which the "visionary" PP executives exploited the hopes and fears of AMC fans is beyond unforgiveable.

[All My Shadows]

If that's true, then I'm disgusted.

And anyone who wants to say that I shouldn't be needs to step back and STFU.

I'd rather see it end like this then have PP half-ass it then drop it after a few months. I was pleased with the ending. The cliffhanger doesn't bother me the way it seems to be bothering some people.

Of course this makes me think that PP's money problems might be even worse than the WSJ made it sound.

Eh I'd say OLTL's chances just increased more. Now they'll get all of AMC's finances too.

If these rumblings of Prospect Park not continuing #AMC are true, I go back to my original assessment of ending: Worst. Finale. Ever.

It's just the fact that fans have been through the emotional ringer...it's not right

[marceline]

I understand the sentiment but for this soap watcher, "right" hasn't been a part of the equation for a very long time.

[dragonflies]

I never understood why PP wanted AMC actors to commit to 4 years yet were willing to let OLTL actors do one year commitments

[dragonflies]

Richard doesn't seem to think OLTL will happen online either:

@Sonny_Kate I think it has more to do with financing. At this point, they haven’t secured much. Which MAY not bode well for #OLTL either.

[reallyhateskateonlost]

Had a feeling this was going to happen.

[OLTL_fan]

I want a real ending RC!!!!!

[marceline]

This is why I'm glad that most of the AMC actors decided to peace out. They already got burned once. Once bitten, twice...getting the hell out of here.

To be fair Richard was nebver a fan of PP to begin with

[dragonflies]

I agree. ABC does need their asses kicked for catering to PP and giving us the ending we got. I didn't completely hate it, but still, damn that sucks for AMC fans

He never once said that, he was skeptical, as were many of us, that doesn't mean he wasn't a fan

[JaneAusten]

Yeah Richards livelihood depends on soaps. I don't think he never wanted the shows to move over.

BUt I am bummed about AMC only because I liked the orignal idea for the ending they talked about

I agree with you I am just kind of saddened about that original concept for the ending we never saw. Oh well
