Recurring according to SOD

Thanks, that's what I thought

When did people slam OLTL for this?

The last few years of the show!

Paos Revolution: Update on Harlem Shake- this was done on set today. Several actors took pictures and videos but they have been since been asked to not share. These videos provide looks at the new sets. These are things that they want to control how to release. If at some point the ok is given to share the video we will make sure that we provide you the link right here

How will we go on?

I'm totally kidding. BTW.

AMDGH, you want your Harlem Shake as much as some of us want gay Spike

I see casting calls are still using the words beautiful Caucasian

Just 2 among the many highlights of the last 2 days in Pine Valley: seeing Agnes Nixon & David Canary again. Love them both...

LOL! Yeah we will go on. I mostly wanted to see the video to get a peek at the actors/sets/stuff in the background, etc anyway ;-P damn!

Drats. Thwarted again! The Man is always trying to keep a Cookie Monster down.

That video better surface someday. Watch it wind up as a Hulu Plus feature.

Is there such a thing as recurring and on contract with online shows??.....I didnt think there was....

Online is just TV via the web. Same rules apply except when it comes to money/compensation. As a Sony exec told me a few years back, the merging of TV and online is now consider INFOTAINMENT instead of just entertainment. It's where you get your news/information and entertainment in the same place (ie. watch your favorite show while browsing the NY Times website).

So how do they judge how well the shows do online, is it kind of like tv, ala ratings or how does it work

Oh ok Errol...thanks for clearing that up for me.

And most will namedrop All Her Children.

Actually, I don't have much to add--after reading all these pages, and the last ten or so of the old thread, my brain feels fried.

I more or less like the new teen cast, from what I've seen. Personally I think the new Miranda *looks* the part much better, though I get why some are disappointed this seems to mean she won't have much of the bitchier side of Les Kanes.

My one worry is the Price is Right guy. I watched some of the male auditions (what can I say, I was bored) for that show when they were online, and I remember they had to do some tiny acting bits for the challenge and he seemed pretty awful--mind you the acting was selling products. Soapsuds said he was off Price is Right (I did think they were only trying a male model for a brief time), but this morning, coincidentally enough, I turned it on for the first time in a good year while getting ready for work, and he was modelling some product (clothed, I should add)--but maybe it was a rerun. Still, I'm willing to give him a chance--will they try to geek him all up with slicked hair and glasses? I'm sorta having flashbacks to Boyd, the ridiculously gay pretty boy chemist at Enchantment during the Rayfield era...

I just have to when things like "AMC fans mocked OLTL for having teens on their show and now are all excited to have teens on AMC! " are said. I still think AMC has a solid base of vets, so am not worried--we'll see how it's balanced, but if the teens still have a lot of interaction with the adults, and it's not all segregated, I think that's fine. As has been mentioned ad nauseum, this isn't unusual for AMC--going back to much beloved eras like 1983ish when hgih school stories were almost half the show.

Not much else to add... Oh I think the JR casting could really work (and yes, I also had a crush on the actor during Sweet Valley High...) Was this one of the "friends" of Jacob Young he mentioned?

Errol, I can't actually think of any questions (except to ask about Canadian distribution again but I don't think anyone you talk to there would help with that.) I have ones for Agnes, like her involvement level (and if she's much involed in OLTL particularly), but knowing Agnes Nixon I don't really expect her to say much more than the official line we've already heard. But I'm excited to hear the report back from you!

I think it still depends on the site. People are starting to keep track and monitor what shows are downloaded the most from iTunes--and I am sure Hulu reads how many "hits" a show has.

I thought I would share this with everyone

I doubt many will go the Itunes route...the price is rather expensive....

1 are you on your meds and 2 does the door/wall say murder??...hmmmmm......

I can't see iTunes charging 2 dollars en episode given a (nearly) daily show. Maybe 2-3 dollars a week, but...

Oh and I am glad others instantly thought this Hunter guy (I'll never remember the new actors names) has a weird belly button. Very cute, though (in a kinda twinky "so not my type" way )
