Members John Posted December 9, 2011 Members Share Posted December 9, 2011 No Offense But Nelson is well known for embellishing most of his reports. Take it with a grain of salt. We dont even know if PP is still pursuing the shows. That Variety article seemed way off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted December 9, 2011 Members Share Posted December 9, 2011 Oh I know, I just think it's entertaining tabloid reporting. I'm of the mindset these shows are not coming back, so I don't expect anything to happen with any of this stuff, but it is fun to read. We have nothing else to talk about so we may as well. The most i'm hoping for are DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 An account (with pictures!) of Agnes Nixon's appearance at Harvard on Tuesday (apologies if this has already been posted): http://imasoapfan.tumblr.com/post/13882969787/agnes-nixon-honored-at-harvard A couple of particularly interesting sections: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 Thank you for sharing this! I love real information. I guess I had blocked out the Indian gifted 2 hr. finale once the PP plans were popping. You can really sense how well that extra hour would have been utilized, the whole party could and should have spanned an hour. I wish I could have been in that room when they dropped the recasting bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 Thanks for posting that, LeClerc...so interesting reading what was and what was supposed to go down. I am so upset that ABC took that extra hour away for AMC...why? I don't understand why they'd take it away all because of Prospect Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 If they had recast each show completely, most would have ran far far away. Thanks for finding that account of the event with Agnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted December 10, 2011 Members Share Posted December 10, 2011 Been absent around these parts for a while, but I would like to chime in on this. I called this months ago that the finale would be screwed up due to PP and that I was doubltful PP would even get off the ground. So, now my worst fears came true that we were gypped out of a true finale that would do this show justice. Instead we were left with a bunch of silly cliffhangers. I've made peace with it, it just irks me the fans were jerked around like this, again. The moving to Canada and recast thing is just mind boggling. Mind boggling.

Members Dana Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 What's even worse about that is how PP assured fans via several articles that the cast would remain intact. I mean, it makes sense to cut costs and at least they seemed to be thinking about it, but they also seemed to be playing a two-faced game of saying they wanted the original cast and talking to several of them, while making plans to do otherwise.

Members SFK Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 "She spoke to John Danelle, an African-American actor who played Dr. Frank Grant, about her concern. He suggested that at the end of the story, his character should beat up the pimp (named Tyrone) using his karate skills." LMAO, I wonder if this was nearly as funny as I'm imagining. That is so '70s.

Members nell17 Posted December 11, 2011 Members Share Posted December 11, 2011 Here's some insight into the govt. funding of online projects. Look's like "Diary of A Single Mom" received money. Here's a better one: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/dec/1/online-soap-opera-cleans-up-with-stimulus-broadban/ Here's the original article I read: http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/online-soap-opera-starring-billy-dee-williams-received-stimulus-cash/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
