HOLIDAY MIRACLE: Prospect Park Back On Track To Revive AMC and OLTL

I wish they'd gotten him for one of the shows

Seriously? I had no idea. In that case I see even less reason to jump on this guy. This is a new venture and it's going to take some new thinking. I admit that this *does* seem like a bit of a jump from his previous experience but a good staff can help bridge those gaps.

I'd hardly call WWE a soap anymore. Ten years ago, yes. And addicting as hell. Now that it's PG. . . -___-. It's going through a slump just like soaps, which is funny because it's the "man's soap."

[Errol]

So what revelations are we expecting next from this ongoing story of Prospect Park and its plans for soaps on the web?

[marceline]

I expect we'll soon get a run of announcements of OLTL actor signings but I'm most curious about who the writers will end up being.

[KMan101]

I'm curious about the writers, definitely. I figure we'll hear about more signings. Have THEY officially confirmed length of the episodes yet?

[JackPeyton]

That doesnt mean it isnt still a soap. In the past few years they have had the love triangles, romances, back from the dead, redemption, heel turn, and family stories of a soap opera. Just because they arent good doesnt make it less of a soap. They did take a step away years ago but they have gone back to being soapy in the past 3+ years.

[DRW50]

Didn't they stop the soap stuff because of some backlash over a story where a man had sex with a corpse (in the story, not real)?

[JackPeyton]

I dont think any one story was why, the soap opera aspect become a bore and they went rated PG and targeting the kiddie demo for awhile, but the past 3 or so years its gone back to the soaps as the audience has grown a bit older now.

[Cheap21]

no. AJ Lee continues to be the main vixen of the WWE, stirring up most of the soapy elements and drama. You should YT some of her stuff

He is on Twitter (https://twitter.com/TheMightyFoz) and I almost feel bad about posting it since when some fans get a hold of it they will drive him crazy

That was the sticking point last time with SAG & PP. SAG wanted the minimums to match that of Broadcast

[Soaplovers]

More OLTL and AMC cast signings... and hopefully an agreement with WGA coming soon (since there was indication of talks starting this week)... and finally writer selections!

I'll say this much: McDermott (I call no one "Foz") has good taste in comics. "X-Men," IIRC, was a particularly soapy comic BITD, written by Chris Claremont. (If I'm wrong, forgive me, because I'm not as big of an aficionado of this stuff as I probably should be.)
