Members Cheap21 Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 PC had an identity. It was a hospital based drama for the first 3-4 years of its run and the final 2 it morphed into one centered aroung supernatural elements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 GH had several spinoffs so I doubt OLTL or AMC would've gotten one had PC been sucessful. And Nixon had two similar soaps in addition to AMC and OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marco Dane Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 I always wanted a spinoff for One Life To Live. One a little bit like the edge of night with some mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 Port Charles-- before the telenovela story arcs--- was, in my opinion, a generic basic soap opera. Just like Loving. No distinct qualities, characters or characteristics that really truly stood out in the grand scheme of daytime soap opera. It was just there. I'd put Generations in this same category. JMO. Perhaps if all these shows had had more time (except Loving, 12 years was plenty of time) or PC had begun airing a decade earlier before the dramatic ratings decline of the late 90's, it would've had a chance to make a true identify for itself.

Members cityfan01 Posted August 17, 2012 Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 I also feel that PC could have been much more successful had it been on right before GH. They should have moved AMC & OLTL each up a half hour and then put PC between OLTL and GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted August 17, 2012 Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 This show sucked and ABC only went with it because it was cheaper than the Labine's soap. The Labine soap would have been produced in NYC and PC was produced in LA. ABC has never had a successful soap in the 12:30 time slot with the brief exception of Ryan's Hope.

Members Khan Posted August 17, 2012 Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 IMO, PC's original EP, Wendy Riche, appeared to be more preoccupied with GH, which spelled trouble from the start for this spinoff. As good as Riche was as a showrunner, PC needed a strong EP of its own (such as Shelley Curtis?) to launch the series and then move it in the proper direction.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 17, 2012 Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 So those soaps could've fell faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 17, 2012 Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 Actually, timeslot-wise, I felt PC would have been much more successful had it aired after GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 17, 2012 Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think so, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted August 17, 2012 Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 would have made sense especially when the shows had alot of crossovers in the early years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marco Dane Posted August 17, 2012 Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 I kinda wish there was a resolution when the show was canceled in 2003 on General Hospital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
