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

[Delia]

Whatever.

[Pine Charles]

Well, you know that attention whore Cam Matheson will do it. God.

[dragonflies]

This sums it up perfectly LMFAO

*sigh* Prospect Park is like that ex who keeps making you think they want to get back together when you're really nothing but a booty call

[Dana]

I don't trust Prospect Park. Like, at all. This will have to actually be on the air (or the Internet) before I believe it. I highly doubt they can get the important folks from AMC to do it; they were pretty wary and burned out the last time.

[Pine Charles]

I hear Prospect Park has contacted Megan McTavish to write for AMC 2.0.

It's been a while since I've had to do this...

SLAP!!!

[Marco Dane]

Why her UGH please GET NEW FRESH WRITERS FOR HEAVENS SAKE!!!!

[Dana]

And I don't believe (and never have) that they can put on a daily 1 hour show on the Internet for the same amount of money ABC was spending (or actually a lot less money) or pay the actors the same amount they were getting. If this ever gets off the ground, it will be produced in Canada with Canadian crew, writers and producers and probably cast members. The cast won't get paid much.

[ChitHappens]

Who's shelling out money for actual writers? If broadcast soaps get hacks, onliners won't be getting anything better, especially being attached to ABCd. I don't think this is happening, but if by some small chance it does, these 2 soaps are going to be the cheapest unrecognizable productions money can buy!

The conspiracy theorist in me says this is distraction. I think the hammer may come down on GH, and if it does, viewers will be relieved to have the other 2 back and can rely on GH going online. Something aint right here.

[Khan]

Oh, please. Even if this thing is actually "on" again, can't they re-hire Lorraine Broderick instead? Or maybe even hire a completely new, untapped writer? I can't imagine PP affording the salary even of someone like MMT, so it's a good way to get fresh talent at half the cost. Besides, with the new platform, you have an excellent opportunity to start nurturing the Bill Bells and Agnes Nixons of the Internet Soap generation.

Aaaaaaand we're off....

Which soap editor said AMC and OLTL were dead? And never coming back? (They won't with Prospect but they may with another prospect....)

[dragonflies]

Nah GH is fine, it's out performing Katie & the Chew, especially in the demos. I read ABC is happy with them, unless ratings & demos for GH really bad, I'd bet money it's safe till 2014

What kind of budget would this have, they couldn't pay the actors like anything

[Pine Charles]

LOL

[alexisfan07]

Ok this is NOT the news I expected to read. Like literally ever...mostly because I assumed PP had become a non-entity after this debacle. If they can get some of the regulars back, I will absolutely give them a shot but I'm not holding my breath. Fingers crossed for beloved, semi-watchable soaps coming back though!
