Members DaytimeFan Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 Not necessarily. They have outs in their contracts just like the actors. Cycles, cancellation clauses, all sorts of options. Valentini and Carlivati both likely exercised an option, on their side, to go with Prospect Park's offers.

Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I don't doubt it's cheaper, I just wonder if that's going to be enough, especially if this ends up being their peak. All the ingredients (no pun intended) were there for this show to be a hit. Something else will get the same ratings for less cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 That makes her sound like a noble fighter. I guess she must be well-respected in the industry, even if she has some bad moments. I continue to be amused at the idea of "movie star" (AKA B or C list actor who had a part in one big franchise) Franco being any kind of real coup. Weren't there rumors for years about GH being overbudget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trish672 Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 To where? The place where OLTL sits now ratings-wise? That's really the best case scenario. OLTL's resurgence didn't stop ABC from telling cast and crew to get their asses off their property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I hope we hear some dirt. I'd especially love to hear her views on Sweeney, since JFP's most...creative...years at GH were before Frons came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 That's what's great about JFP, she's both a villain and a victim. If she hasn't been working on her memoir (a la Julia Phillips' You'll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again) then she should really start. It'd be a New York Times bestseller.

Members BingCherry Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I wonder if Phelps is gonna take a bunch of the cast with her. She seems like the type who'd be like "Are you with me or are you not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think most of them are probably going to base their decision on whether they want to stay on a dying soap. Some may want the money to the end, others may want out early to try other options. It will be interesting to see what NLG says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ER Tosh Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 So maybe if OLTL ends on a cliffhanger also, Ron can have Skye show up on GH and she can spend three minutes explaining what happened in the two Pennsylvania suburbs that she used to live in.

Members John Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 Why would they go with her. Its not Like Days, B&B and Y&R will hire JFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I assumed that those two signed contract renewals with ABC and not OLTL unlike the actors 'cause it was so expressively stated when they re-signed that will remain part of the ABC family for another 2 years...

Members JaneAusten Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 People like Burton and Geary always claimed no one other than Guza could write for them. But then neither of them bolted when he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 Everyone who works for ABC Daytime (producers, writers, actors, crew etc) are ABC employees and their contracts are with ABC-Disney. Regardless of the length of their deals, there will be out clauses in them to the benefit of both parties. Valentini is likely working on a short term deal with GH, same for Carlivati.
