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.

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.

That's why I think they really need to make DVD releases.

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.

At this point Llanview would be best off being blown up. The survivors can move onto the websoap.

"In the end, there will be cockroaches...and Fords."

I know there's a good chance none of the vets will be involved and this might end up being glassy-eyed 19 year olds staggering through Motel 6 bathrooms.

IOW, more internet porn. ;-)

I was thinking more of GL's last years but then I remember those Harley/Cyrus hotel scenes and you're right.

I had to laugh at your friends comment.

Errol's article said that PP got a grant from the government to be able to pay for these shows, as the governemnt were giving out grants for companies looking to invest in New Media. Why would they purposely take on shows that they know they can't afford? The people in charge of PP aren't amateurs so I am going to wait and see. God some of you are so negative, you spend months saying you want the shows saved and they are and you still have a problem. If it fails, at least SOMEBODY tried.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Aaaaaand with that I go back to hating the SOS movement. Thanks a lot. *cracks open vodka bottle*

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.

I truly wonder how well Cam will like it without being Frons' pet anymore
