Members Vee Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 No one could fault either of them for not wanting a contract at this point - though I would be surprised if both did not at least appear on a recurring basis. I always think Erika Slezak is ready to retire, but then she surprised me when she said she had been prepared to move to LA for the show. Right now my going impression is that the shows will only vaguely resemble the existing ones, at best. I also don't believe they'll have the same EPs/HWs - ABCD has already begun re-assigning FV and RC. And, okay. At this point, with this kind of massive shift, why not. It's not like they're putting on a spectacular show at the moment. Give new people a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 I was just at a fundraiser with my friend who watches soaps. He says to me, "What is this I hear that I might not have to give up my shows after all?" "Yep that's true," I say. "Another production company bought the rights." "Where are they moving?" he asks. "They're going online," I say. His reaction: "I'm not going to watch that [!@#$%^&*] on my computer!" PP has their work cut out for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 That's why I think they really need to make DVD releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 If they go with a telenovela format that will be a lot easier. I'll also be interested to see what other content this "channel" has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 I was thinking more of GL's last years but then I remember those Harley/Cyrus hotel scenes and you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 I had to laugh at your friends comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 They arent really saved. Yes, they will continue but not on TV, another network. The shows will be completely different. The audience will be even less. Marceline friends comment...red flag.... If its free...Ill watch OLTL to see what it looks like. If I like it ...I might watch more than a few times. If its a whole bunch of newbies with awful looking model...set up... I wont watch Internet OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 I think if the AMC and OLTL had just two or three more years on network TV this transition would not be so rough. By then most people will be used to TV/computer being one in the same, I think. Even if that means having internet content streamed to their TV. I'm not an "early adopter" of tech and I haven't yet transitioned to TV/internet being synonomous yet. Still, I can feel it coming. That said, all we can do is hope for the best.

Members dragonflies Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 CameronMathison Cameron Mathison I love my job at AMC and I will definitely consider staying! Tell you more soon. You guys probably made this happen with your campaigns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 At least I'll get to hate on Ryan! I love Cameron as a person. He seems like a pretty nice guy. That's why I love to hate his character. Instead of just Ryan going and dying somewhere. I wanna see what stupid thing he does next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kylie Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 Depending on what we find out about cast and quality...I'm hoping there's an international license or some way I can watch in merry old England. Cause yeah, it's miserable enough over there when it's raining everyday, but to not be able to watch AMC? Ugh. That said, if the cast and quality are total [!@#$%^&*], I don't care if they show it in all fifty states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
