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

[John]

what is it hmmm

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Yeah, I'm dying to know too.

[John]

I did find that strange

[Vee]

I may not be looking closely enough but the only discrepancy I see is the PR speak.

[Errol]

Yup. There's a hidden nugget in there that the conspiracy theorists are going to be dissecting if I choose to report it

[Vee]

Right, FerenComm's other client is Disney Media, which wants this and the OLTLers back there (versus ABCD, which does not and wants the rights back).

[EricMontreal22]

Oh, I can see something happening and PP firing them etc--but I don't see a HW hired for the AMC reboot immediately walking... For me--and I agree about many of your thoughts on PP, that's just too extreme a reaction.

[EnglishTea]

To be clear, my prediction isn't necessary my preference.

I'm okay with Marlene McP and I do think that Agnes is working on story, but I don't think she is fleshing story out per se, which will leave a lot on Marlene's shoulders. I want a true co-HW, who has history with the show. I want Richard C., because he is so good at dialogue, but I'm doubtful that will happen.

I actually don't care about Zach and Kendall one way or the other, but I could see PP offering it to Susan H. as a way of enticing TK to sign, and I could also see AM give it her full PR blessing.

I want JB and DC to be contract, but suspect because of his age and semi-retirement status, that the most these two will be is recurring.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Couldn't it be a possibility. That with Soapnet staying on air. And, it being a part of Disney Media as well. That OLTL and AMC could air on that channel.

Cause, alot of people do still have Soapnet.

[John]

FerenComm - TV Publicity Specialists

[Errol]

No.

[~bl~]

And the amount of people it would anger if these shows ended up on SoapNet after Disney made cable companies pull SoapNet.

[EricMontreal22]

Right--certainly I don't see DC ever stepping out of his semi-retirement--which would prob leave JB, if hired, to be recurring too (especially with no Liza cast yet).

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Okay. Just throwing that out there.

In all honesty. I just wish ABC would take the shows back to ABCD. Seriously. Just admit what a !@#$%^&*] up they made. And, take them back. But, that will NEVER happen.

[Vee]

ABC wanted the rights to the shows back (after seeing GH's resurgence) and wants to service GH. But Disney, which holds the reins, is tight with Rich Frank and wants in on online media. Therefore Disney has ABC/GH under the yoke on this and is allowing PP leeway to continue to pursue AMC/OLTL and the OLTL actors. That's my understanding, anyway.
