Members Juliajms Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 But that would be boring. I'd rather speculate like everyone else in this thread. I'm not saying this person is right about PP any stretch, but they aren't just a random insider either. They've been getting things right for months now and definitely have some sort of inside track.

Members Dana Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 Regarding that "insider' info, if ABC really retains some veto power, that's not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 Given that ABC will still own the Nixon soaps, it is no surprise that they will have some say over what happens at PP. And it is hardly a shock that both AMC and OLTL will be radically altered from what that currently look lilke. Because today's AMC and OLTL (even with the latter's ratings "surge") are considered failures, PP (or any other new company that gets involved) will naturally want to make drastic changes (even if those changes turn out to be huge mistakes in hindsight).

Members Carolyn1980 Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 There is NO way that anyone would license the ABC soaps and still let ABC have veto power over storylines. The idea is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 The idea is totally ridiculous. Seriously, why would PP bother to get involved if they weren't going to have total control? The only thing ABC is doing here is collecting money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 Maybe it is just me, but the way it was worded made it seem like ABC has veto power over whatever PP wants OLTL to do for the finale. The poster said that PP influence will be seen in the show's final 3 months but ABC could still veto things they don't like. ABC doesn't care about these shows anymore so I doubt they care what PP does with them after September 23 and Janaury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 Maybe they think ABC has better access to market data not that they ever used it. The only part that leaves me a tad skeptical is that these people are former Disney execs and Frons cronies. But I think I;ll wait until someone from PP clarifies all this. I don't think anyone really knows what these shows will look like. I like the telenovel 13 week arc approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 You know I'm the first person to admit that a lot of these last few months on AMC have been a hot bowl of ass but I'm grateful that AMC doesn't have to go through more months of PP vs ABC and tons of rewrites done on the fly based on whoever decides to go to the new show. Things are choppy enough but in a month it'll all be over and we won't have to deal with BTS chaos affecting the finished product. Once the show is done, all the energy and resources can go into developing All My Children 2: Pine Valley of the Dead. They can concentrate on making that show good in its own right instead of essentially trying to sync up two separate shows on two completely different "networks."

Members skiman12082004 Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 I am sure that all of our questions will be answered soon enough. However, I am extremely optimistic that this is going to be really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 22, 2011 Members Share Posted August 22, 2011 LOL of course ABC is going to have some control, otherwise they would have just sold the soaps outright to PP. No way they'll keep their hands out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 22, 2011 Members Share Posted August 22, 2011 Don't they make more money out of licensing? I don't think they will care about the decisions on the shows once the shows are off their networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted August 22, 2011 Members Share Posted August 22, 2011 I read on another board that Frons is on the board of PP. I hope its not true because if it is it much be these PP people think they need him in some capacity involved. Ugh I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 22, 2011 Members Share Posted August 22, 2011 If that's true, there's no point in even considering watching these shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
