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

[Khan]

Do you realize how many writers' names get mentioned in these threads on average? Come on. You have to do better than that, Errol.

[EricMontreal22]

I suspect cutting Kish was a mandate from him and others--but mostly I agree. We know back when Frons first started, Josh Griffith said he left as co HW because of too much interference, but at some point Frons seems to have lost interest.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

AMC got a shitty writer.

Like I said. Short end of the stick for them.

[Vee]

I've always wanted to see the OLTL commemorative magazine, or at least be able to read Susan's and other's comments.

[EricMontreal22]

It was always a bad timeslot--and many affiliates simply didn't even air the show (or did at 1am)--I think affiliates fropped Ryan's Hope too. Agnes' original plan to snadwich it between AMC and OLTL made more sense.

The City's final three months did see ratings begin to climb slightly--which is significant only because at that time all of the other ABC soaps ratings were dropping. (And yeah Daytime to Remember did get fairly good ratings, much to everyone's surprise--but remember speaking of redheaded step children, they weren't even going to air classic OLTL till fans complained--in the end AMC got three weeks, OLTL got 2 and I believe GH got four).

It was impossible for me to find anywhere--so I finally got it on ebay--I think it really is worth reading, like the AMC one the interviews are actually more candid than you expect from any official soap press nowadays.

[dragonflies]

more than 1 sadly.

[Steve]

Yeah, I guess we need to be patient. Errol said they would announce the writers sometime this week but he didn't say what day.

Can you tell us which poster mentioned it?

[Khan]

Better yet, which page did they mention it on?

[John]

Ok one is marlene who do u say the other one is?

[EricMontreal22]

I don't think EON ever did too well on ABC. Wasn't its first issue the fact that it used to be on, true to its name, late in the lineup--and when they moved it early it lost a big chunk of audience (people have claimed partly due to the large number of women workers and men who would get home in time to watch it)

[Vee]

I'll be damned if I am spending a shitload of money on eBay. Is it digital somewhere? Or can't someone, IDK, transcribe it? Can we pay them in gold?

[John]

i know I said with Marlene , Addie Walsh woud be a great Co-HW. Then got worried that Marlene's CO-HW may be Maria Arena Bell

[Ryan Chamberlain]

That's horrible that they weren't even going to show classic One Life. Glad the fans got their way.

How did they show them in the 30 mins slot though. Did they just split one episode into two?

[Khan]

If one of the HW's is Marlene McP, then I'll say the other is Jeff Beldner. Or Hal Corley. Or Richard Culliton. [!@#$%^&*], I don't know.

[LeClerc]

I'm going to guess no. Someone as lawsuit-happy as Marlene probably ain't eager to split the HW salary.
