So many of you guys are skeptical, I don't blame you but we haven't heard anything YET about the deals (Who is aboard? It is free? ect..)

Just wait and see how this deal plays out. We CAN'T jump to the gun right away.

I know Jack and Erica have their fans, but I wouldn't be upset if Willey didn't continue. Erica needs to be free of Jack, IMO. They haven't been written well in a really long time. (Dodges bullets from Jack/Erica fans)

I prefer this to the "Yay! ZOMG, the fans saved the shows!!" cheerleading.

A lot of people simply aren't going to make the move. Others will. And hopefully this new platform will attract new viewers as well. But let's not fool ourselves, these shows won't be on the TV in the nail salon, beauty shop, waiting room of the car mechanic, etc... That's where a lot of daytime TV gets watched.

My friend from a few pages back loves his soaps but he's a caterer and since he does prep work during the day he keeps the TV on ABC. Web soaps don't fit his life and he's not going to make any effort to watch. PP is going to need to replace him.

Things are going to change. That doesn't mean automatic failure. It just means change.

I'm just so interested in how everything turns out. We all were dangled with this carrot of "the soaps are saved" and it was so last minute that we have nothing else to go on. The cast had no idea and Prospect Park is tightlipped.

Hope we hear more soon.

Several actors have expressed skepticism and said they don't know what's going on. I think most of them are just trying to go through or be happy for fans, since it's still so early.

I don't agree that it's a "hollow victory." That's a bizarre choice of words when nothing is known about the plans or access.

He was pretty much written out anyway during Pratt's era. I think he may know that he won't be involved in a new format. After the way he's been on the fringe so much of the last 10-15 years I can't blame him for being dubious. I just don't really like the "hollow victory" line, for whatever reason.

So many "never gonna happens" have happened over the past several months. I think it's time to sit back, relax, let the chips fall where they may, and let cynicism take a holiday because it is truly a waste of energy. Nothing wrong with conjecture, but these matters don't warrant our hand-wringing and premature hate.

I think people are right to be skeptical but I disagree with the automatic looking down on any actors or fans who do want to keep the shows going. I've done that too, I often have an elitist attitude when someone likes a soap and I don't, so I'm as guilty as anyone, but with the cancellations I've sometimes felt like there was almost a rush to look down on anything, even putting out a thank you advertisement.
