Breaking: David A. Gregory (Ford) will not be joining Prospect Park's #OLTL. (via Gregory's facebook)

Good. Now I can run my David Gregory piece where he talked to me about this very thing

I'm kind of smirking at this news if there's no On Line to Live regardless.

Even if this news isn't true--and both AMC & OLTL make it online--I think that it is a very realistic possibility (given all the money problems PP is having) that these shows are going to look dirt cheap (like like the last 18 months of GL did). Although both options are horrible for Nixon soap fans, I think it would be to their benefit for PP to throw in the towel as opposed to putting out half-assed productions.

What upsets me the most is not the prospect that either soap may not make it online, but rather that this whole long-shot venture robbed AMC & OLTL fans of closure (and of satisfying finales) to begin with. The fact that none of my beloved P&G soaps weren't saved had nothing to do with my feelings towards this venture. (Honestly, I'm glad that my emotions weren't toyed with and that I didn't go through this bullshit.)

LOL that's all we've been getting anymore, nothing confirmed one way or the other. Someone shouldn't have to say rumor.

Sorry Errol, there's so much that fits with what Richard says, the actors about the AFTRA stuff, and the lack of AMC actors being signed and so on. I think there's alot of truth to it.

and yes I'm skeptical, and I don't give a damn what anyone says about that

Oh I don't doubt the story is true, I just doubt they researched anything.

Research? What's that? Why research anything when there's twitter? Research doesn't allow for cherry picking...

Oh I don't doubt the story is true, I just doubt they researched anything.

lol Errol so true

LOL now that I agree with Errol

Oh f#@%

From SID's twitter

Saw this coming: Sources say Prospect Park won't be moving forward with #AMC, they've decided to focus on #OLTL exclusively. Deets soon...

My heart seriously dropped to the floor reading this. I'm really crushed. I know it might've been "expected", but still. Just... I am depressed.

I dont see why anyone would assume the shows would look cheap when the WSJ article said their financial targets were based on the current budget of the shows. Maybe I am an optimist.

AMC makes me sad but its not unexpected. But I would not assume OLTL is dead. It kind of depends how far they have progressed in raising money. Its not shock they have had difficulties with a sluggish economy, Hollywood projects in general having difficulty getting funding, and the overall skeptimism of this venture by potential investors. It would be a hard sell in a thriving economy. I still think that OLTL might have a shot

Question...any confirmation on where OLTL will film once Prospect Park takes over? Had a piece on this for weeks and now I'm given the go to run with it, but I'm just checking to see if it is already out there.

Anyone know?

I want them to be wrong. My excitement at the thought of AMC continuing was at an all time high. I am so disillussioned by all of this. I am sad but beginning not to care anymore.

My guess is ATWT's old studio in Brooklyn.

I can't "confirm" anything, but I've read Broadway Stages in Brooklyn, over in Greenpoint.

I Heard Broadway Stages

Talked To PP. Told them about the AMC Rumors and asked they made a statement. Secretary said We are aware of rumors but right now have no info to give out

Am I understanding this correctly? You actually called PP?
