Members dragonflies Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yeah she did, so that means they must have reverted back to ABC, which means they can do what they want with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dana Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 The Variety article said PP still has the digital rights until sometime in 2012. What does that likely mean? And yeah, getting around the unions is not going to help them snare the top talent on either show. If they are going to try that angle, they may as well start fresh.

Members JaneAusten Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 So ABC put them in storage? what about AMC? I thought PP owned the sets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 Maybe PP Put them in storage somewhere. PP has the online rights of AMC Til Sept 2012 and of OLTL Til Jan 2013 According to Variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm wondering if PP getting the sets meant getting the studio too, and since that didn't happen, maybe PP didn't have the money for the sets either. Hard to tell. If PP had them in storage would ES know that? I can see her knowing that if ABC had them in storage, but PP not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 How can PP circumvent the unions. These soaps are signatory to WGA, DGA & AFTRA. I dont see that changing anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thats what the article in variety said. wasnt that why they looked at moving to Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 Canada has an actors union ACTRA Unless they plan to use ACTRA which could already have Internet Rates in their contracts. I do know ACTRA does have an agreement with AFTRA and SAG when their actors appeared in prods covered by ACTRA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 The Variety article says that PP only has the online rights for a year after the last episode air. I thought originally we were told they got 10 year options, what gives or is my memory playing a trick on me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted December 7, 2011 Members Share Posted December 7, 2011 I think the 10 year thing kicks only if the shows go into production @robinstrasserrobin strasser Just saw NEW Prospect Park prospects MAY be ahead. I love their reassertion of proprietary ownership #AMC #OLTL. Territorial claim seems poz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted December 8, 2011 Members Share Posted December 8, 2011 why do I get the sinking feeling this story is being released just as ABC is ready to drop one more bomb Seriously do these PP people have some hardon about not retooling these shows?

Members John Posted December 8, 2011 Members Share Posted December 8, 2011 @JimRomanovich Jim @johnwalterseip @LewisJJr Sounds like they want to get help to either pay unions or move the show to a non-union location 1 hour ago via web @JimRomanovich Jim @johnwalterseip @LewisJJr Union talent work with non-union crews all the time. 1 hour ago via web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
