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

  • Member

WTF!!!!!

EXCLUSIVE: Here is a great holiday gift for soap fans: I’ve learned that Prospect Park has revived its plan to continue cancelled ABC daytime dramas All My Children and One Life To Live online. I hear the company behind USA hit Royal Pains has inked deals with SAG-AFTRA and DGA for the soaps’ production, eyed to begin in the first quarter of 2013.

That doesnt mean squat. Lucci has been doing HSN for years now & they way they will shoot AMC & OLTL niw im sure itll be easier to get actors if they want the job.

Prospect Park owns the license for use of OLTL's characters. ABC was allowed as licenser to use Todd, John, Blair and Starr however they chose, but on a somewhat limited basis, due to Prospect Park's decision to not move forward with AMC/OLTL online the first time. Now that things are moving forward again, ABC and PP have to come to an agreement regarding the use of these characters on "General Hospital," which is what Frank is actually referring to.

Prospect Park will likely not get Starr or Todd as Roger Howarth and Kristen Alderson were never interested in moving to the online version and their contracts are with ABC itself, but John may move back to Llanview as Michael Easton was willing to do so the first go round. If Prospect Park does get Todd and Starr, it will NOT be with Roger and/or Kristen in the roles, which is clearly going to have to happen or else it wouldn't work. I'm sure ABC will allow the actors to film scenes as it pertains to story though for OLTL's continuation, but the characters will definitely remain on GH with those actors in the roles.

Why would Valentini lie about that?

Why wouldn't he? It's not like he hasn't lied before.

That excuse keeps people tuned in and leaves him blameless.

HSN....

Most of the callers on the testimonial line say, "I miss you on All My Children", and act like they don't even want to talk about the Malibu Pilates chair. LOL

Susan and the host seem kinda annoyed. Well, they have big grins, but you can tell. ha

That clears it up, thanks Errol

Yeah they recast Todd they're idiots of the first degree. I don't see why PP can't use Todd and Starr once in awhile, John too

Repetitively boring.

I can't believe that boring ass trick will be writing AMC! I'd rather have MMT back

A boring no idea mess of a show.

Okay with Marlene McPherson I don't think she get a real chance at DAYS. MarDAR won their first emmy and DAYS first emmy ever for writing. I thought they were better than Tomlin/Whitesell who has been so boring. The show was more watchable and I think Marlene never got a really fair shake at the show. Marlene was very highly regarded by Jim Reilly and she would be maybe good with a different co-head writer assisting her with the project.

If Marlene indeed has the AMC job, I'm excited. While I do expect "network" interference for these writers and producers, I expect much more leeway since its a startup. Anything goes is the idea as you want to make as big of an impact as you can beyond just name recognition. From my talks with Marlene, she knows what she's doing.

All the above are boring...it seems Whitesell and Tomlin let MarDar invade their bodies...

Marlene's DAYS was indeed boring.

I'm open to her at AMC, without any so-called interference (which I believe NBC probably did interfere), but I'd be a lot more comfortable if they could find someone with AMC history who's a little more trusted with the show.

OLTL HOPEFULLY struck gold with Thom and Susan. I can't wait to see what they do. Like someone else said, it's rare for lightning to strike twice but I feel very comfortable knowing they are writing. However, I remember being really happy that Malone was returning back in the day too.

I still remember all the hype she got...what a mess child....lol

I don't blame Susan and the host for being annoyed. I understand that she wouldn't even be in the position to hock that dirty laundry rack piece of exercise equipment if it weren't for All My Children, but after you hear a couple of fans phone in and give her AMC love, why keep blowing up the line and doing it without talking about Malibu Pilates (especially if you're not even buying one)? I equate this with fans blowing up stars' Facebook and Twitter. Just practice a little restraint. There's a time and place for everything.
