Members marceline Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 Wait, do you still believe the whole "Prospect Park won't let us hire her" stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yeah I do, they own the rights to everything, that's been confirmed many times(and not just by FV) The new person in charge of ABCD even confirmed that the rights for AMC will revert back to ABC in Sept. so I don't get why some don't believe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 If they own the rights to everything than how are the writers allowed to name drop certain OLTL character names? And how come certain characters came over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 I didn't even have to open the thread. Just the subject title alone immediately made me say "...and I bet Marceline's right up on this, spreading her special brand of cynicism." Indeed... indeed. I've spent too much time around you people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 Obviously, I can't speak for everyone who remains skeptical, but I don't believe it for the simple fact that TPTB are trained to lie and should never be trusted about anything they say, positive and negative.

Members marceline Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 I don't question the PP owns the rights. That's obvious. I question (read: don't believe for a [!@#$%^&*] minute) that PP is exercising some uber-powerful control over who gets brought over. That doesn't make sense. Damn right and I'm not about to apologize. That article is filled with the kind of magical thinking usually reserved for Disney movies and rehab clinics.

Members Khan Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 Especially when it's clear they don't intend to do anything with them at this point, and probably never did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 My "special brand of cynicism" aside, I would love if ABC or another network decided to do an AMC/Pine Valley spinoff as a telenovela. Preferably something less mainstream and vanilla than current soaps. Give me a season of shows about the Hubbards of Bianca/Marissa written and produced by someone who loves the soap genre yet is willing to reinvent it and I would be the biggest cheerleader ever. But I'm not going to pretend to want AMC back regardless of the circumstances. I'm just not that "loyal" a soap fan. Also that article is very poorly written on a number of levels.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 I don't want to see any soaps have any more failed spinoffs. Just use that same money to create an entirely new soap instead of trying to capitalize off the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Posted September 16, 2012 Members Share Posted September 16, 2012 It seems like an eternity to me, too, and I'm really hoping ABC is smart enough to put out some DVDs in the near future. If only Agnes Nixon and/or Lorraine Broderick could help put together a collection of the best stories/couples from 1978 onward! La Lucci definitely has no reason to return to Erica now that she's hosting her own show! Wasn't FV supposed to be in charge of both shows on PP? I cringe to think what he would've done to AMC! That said, I wouldn't mind if 20 years from now someone rebooted the show focused around Miranda Montgomerey and AJ Chandler trying to live up to their family legacies.
