Members Soapsuds Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 The ABC soaps should have just ended in September. I don't see many paying to watch online. JMO of course in all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 I was happy to pay at WoST. I think I paid like fifteen bucks for three years' worth of content. There were so many donations and people interested that the site was paid for for like two years in advance and Brian never charged any of us again (which he certainly could have). Some people objected to paying on principle which really vexed me as it was such a nominal amount and the stuff being uploaded wasn't exactly found at your local Blockbuster.

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 That's because HBO,etc are paid channels to begin with. ABC is free. You cannot just move these shows online and expect viewers that have watched for FREE for 40/30/20 years to just pay for them all of a sudden. Especially when half of the actors and actresses they are accustomed to are leaving. Oh and SFK. I can imagine WoST being different. $15 for a backlog of things otherwise unavailable. But, I can already see PP being a monthly thing. Like $10 a month. $120 to watch two soap operas a year. That's a bloody joke if that happens.

Members alexisfan07 Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 Good question, I can't remember. I wanna say like 10 dollars a month? I remember it being absurdly high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 I've made that mistake with more posters than I care to admit and there are still a few here that I haven't figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 I would pay to watch a soap a) if I thought the soap was good enough and b ) if they will consider showing full episodes of material from the 80s, and what is available from earlier than that. If the show is good, then something like $5 a month, I could do. I pay more than that for Skinemax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 Well Robin confirmed more than likely she would not do the internet version of OLTL. She is a major part of the show. These soaps are going to tank online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 The only character that could leave and the show not feel the same is Erika Slezak. Robin Strasser has left before and the show was just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 LOL, Ron I'd say 90% of your posts since the announcement have been about how much these online versions are going to tank. I think we all get the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
