No offense taken. I heard the info from multiple sources and it was also confirmed to me by Cameron Mathison, who I interviewed during one of the AMC Fan Club Luncheon events last week. The videos from that weekend and GH weekend are being edited right now and should all be up next week. Thankfully, I'm not doing the editing this time so no late postings are expected ;)

Of course, launching in January may be their intent, but things can change. I reiterate what's been said before, PP would have probably been better off starting off with 1 or 2 shows a week and a much smaller cast, and then grow from there. They got caught flat-footed when their plans were revealed and they way overpromised (imo) what they could deliver in the subsequent press release.

I just realized something. Does the fact that OLTL and AMC are no longer going to be airing during the daytime on Network TV mean that they can now use profanity? Can the actors use curse words? And would those words be bleeped out on Canadian TV? I think here in the U.S. it would still be a problem to have the profanity bleeped, but maybe Canada and other countries are a little more lax.

You wouldn't know it, because most of our scripted tv is either pretty tame/lame or American (it amused me that amongst the just announced Genie awards--the Canadian TV, and movie I think--shows how little attention anyone pays--for scripted drams three, Tudors, the Borgias and Skins, I had forgotten that all of them were technically co funded and co produced by Canadian networks). But technically you can air more risque stuff on Canadian TV, especially where language, and sex/nudity is involved. Still, I believe for anything more than maybe the S word, and "non sexual nudity", it has to air post the 9pm timezone, much like in the UK.

Have any OLTL actors said that PP has definitely asked them to be on their web series? I thought PP would've dealt with the union stuff long before now. That's so basic unless they were hoping to avoid involving unions? I can't believe PP is publicly trying to find a cable channel for reruns before they can publicly say which actors will be on their web soaps.

Brian Frons is an absolute buffoon. Every time he opens his mouth to comment about AMC & OLTL he angers me to no end. He is an incompetent hack who truly deserves to be unemployed. Thankfully PP licensed the shows and hopefully proves once and for all what we soaps fans always knew the soaps are viable and Brian Frons is an ass.

    • I totally agree with this, as most of you seem to. Mary Carney was at least competent and reasonably likable; I just feel like she barely had anything of substance to do before she was abruptly given the hook. And I get the backstory of Kathleen Tolan having done a play with Helen Gallagher, but...at any point did they ever actually READ her before they greenlit her? Because...OOF. First time I saw her on SoapNet was right when this GODAWFUL actress named Charity Rahmer played Belle on Days of Our Lives for all of three weeks before she was mercifully recast; her line readings were straight out of a Charlie Brown special. I remember thinking Kathleen Tolan could have played her mother! In the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle, Delia WAS the one who was cheated on, so I got why she was upset and thought it was perfectly valid in theory at least, but of course it was blown up to Wagnerian proportions including falls involving staircases and tricycles. But with Pat/Faith/Delia I had no sympathy for her...especially because it was mainly with Catherine Hicks's Faith and I really liked her.
    • I was going through those episodes from 1984 and early 1985 before they were taken down. Some of the older characters, like Don and even Tom, looked a little out of place, like they were on the wrong show. But the newer characters were fun. It's too bad they lost the character of Melissa. I guess Jennifer took her long-term place on the canvas.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
