Members Mr. Vixen Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 They're saying that Prospect Park will only let them have 3 characters at a time. They were able to isntantly get Starr and Todd, because KA and RH never signed with PP. And so when they tried to get characters from PP, they were only able to get three and I guess chose or were given of Tea, John, and Blair. So the holdup with Natalie is that PP doesn't want to give them any more rights to the characters until they're ready to give them the next batch of three. Is that bullshit? Sounds like it. But that's their story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted July 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 and it seems like they're only letting them use Tea & Blair for short stints as it is too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 How convenient. RC never wanted to write for Blair - if this was the reason then someone wouldn't have done that SID story falsely claiming it was her choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 Why on earth does there There have to be any reason other than they don't have the money. Good heavens does every former OLTL actor need to be on contract at GH and used. It's going to become like Y&R. They brought the folks on contract they wanted that's it and they didn't want or feel they needed or could afford KDP or FL or MA. Women in general in this industry are second class citizens.

Members Cheap21 Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 I find this hard to believe. If they are beind hild off to a contract then that would imply that they are being paid. Is PP really paying all those OLTL stars without using them? Thats what makes no sense whcih is why I refuse to believe this To be fair SID/SOD always put false information implying incorrect facts on their covers to sell mags Seriously, you cant make that sh-t up! Would make for a good soap scenario. Whenever it comes to issues of immigration they almost always have the characters marry someone they dont love to stay in the country. Imagine if OLTL had done this with Vimal/Rama when his sister came. She gets in trouble and screws over her brother in the process. Or AMC could have had another Castillo sibling come and mess things up for Cara instead of having Amanda rat her to immigration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 Cheap it isn't the actors that are the problem, it is the characters. Pp owns the rights to those charactes. Allegedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 I wonder what Frank was thinking when he decided to blame PP. Did he think people would just accept that or was he actually hoping that this would get people talking about McBam and Liason by working up the Nat fans? After all, Frons or no, ABC loves to troll fanbases. Prospect Park is red meat to the soap "press" and the hardcore fans. From what I've read most of this panel was spent trying to convince the press that GH is still viable. Re-igniting the PP hate is a good way to generate buzz with onliners while deflecting responsibility for what's happening on-screen. Plus it also gets people focused on dead OLTL instead of live GH and that's still what FV cares about whether it matters or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 A lot of people will always accept this stuff. People still say it's all Kassie's own choice that she isn't on GH, because of a magazine claim she denied. It's always someone else's fault with "Cartini."

Members John Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 The actors arent under contract to PP anymore but PP has the rights to the characters til January 2013. RC & FV had to ask permission for Blair, John & Tea. PP doesnt seem to want to let GH use the Natalie role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 PP is NEVER going to do OLTL online so there is no reason why Natalie shouldn't be on. I think this is made up bc FV doesn't want to ruin but John/Sam but I really don't care anymore. All of the OLTL people on GH are irrelevant to me except Todd.

Members John Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 Supposedly PP has the rights to both AMC & OLTL until the first anniversary of their network finales. That means their option on AMC & its characters end in September but OLTL's doesnt end til January 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 IA. If PP owns the rights and refuses the character of Natalie to be used at all, then why was her picture used on GH? I dont buy this either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 I've never understood how photo/image use rights work on these shows for actors who aren't on contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted July 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 Exactly and you gotta love how some want to discount something just so they can bash Cartini LOL. PP has the rights till the end of the year and for AMC they have the rights I think till Sept. If I remember right it's for a year after the show went off the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 Well this isnt an actor contract thing.....its the character. If PP is using the character license to block GH using her, then her likeness should be off limits as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
