As it happens I can't stand Christel Khalil and I detest Lane. the sooner Khalil gets her pink slip the better. Buy thank you for "giving me the please".

Members MoTheGreat Posted August 31, 2012 Members Share Posted August 31, 2012 y&r _fan I already gave you the pleasure of responding to you twice this month try again in October for another response. Anywhoo, I didn't read your response to my CK reply. But I would add this, CkLily was laughable confronting Chloe, Dru daughter would have put fear into Chloe heart. Dru daughter would have went after Phylis after seeing her mother went over the cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeeeDee Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Cornelius doesn't want to do soaps anymore & after the way AMC treated him it's hard to blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MoTheGreat Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'm surprise any black person still wants to do soaps after the way they are treated by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 BET sucks at original programmnig. They ruined The Game, TVone would be a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 I thought the Game should have been a soap. I think OWN should try it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 They wouldn't have to if existing soaps would write for non white actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 When all soaps are off the air alphanguy74 won't have to ask about why BET don't air any. & I'll be celebrating the end of soaps. While he still be wondering why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 They do, don't they? TVone does a GREAT job with the unsung series. Totally fascinating. Showtime was pretty successful with Soul Food weren't they? And Noah's Arc on LOGO was well done, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 I've looked into it, and TV One is uninterested in scripted series at this time. My guess is an obvious one, that they are too expensive. Unsung is a great program yet very inexpensive to produce. Honestly, Unsung always leaves me feeling like they've just scratched the surface, I usually enjoy them so much I could go for two hours. BET and TV One are both headquartered in the D.C. area. With tax breaks, they could certainly work something out for a scripted series if using Tyler Perry's budget friendly model down in Atlanta. Tim Reid and Daphne Maxwell-Reid have a studio down in VA, and The Corner, The Wire, Veep, House of Cards, et cetera, have had minimal built sets, almost all on location/rented out office space.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 OWN should try, Oprah has the resources to do it. I more than understand her not wanting to pick up dying soaps but an original soap would be good for her network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
