Members alexisfan07 Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 I agree, that was beyond strange of them to do. I'm assuming perhaps the publicity people were just told to keep doing their jobs, since evidently no one knew it was over except the higher ups. The actors didn't even know.

Members marceline Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 SOD is the one who posted the rumor that the AMC would start filming on 10/21. I'm just going to wait to see until whatever announcement gets made good or bad. I'm beyond done indulging peripheral drama whores looking to make themselves feel important.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 Ugh this Bren is no better than the others -- I hate how it becomes a contest to announce what they assume first, becauyse some how this gives them some sort of credit in the industry or something?

Members cassadine1991 Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 yeah.. for people who call themselves soap fans they really seemed like they wanted these two soaps to fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 Now on that, we agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 It's like they just can't help themselves. It's more important to prove that they are in the know and are right. (and hopefully to get that info out there FIRST!) It's essentially the same as trolling and it ALWAYS gets a reaction, so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 I think it's more important to preserve what's seen as the internal consistency of the online soap fandom and that whole press circuit. If it's not in the club, it's not okay. A lot of these people seem to see OLTL and AMC going away after not being done "the right way" as righting some sort of balance where they all felt very out of sorts. All I can say is watching three different soap operas masterminded by the same old network and, ostensibly, the same two dudes - which, BTW, is absolutely not going to happen - would get very old very fast. But it's what a lot of people know and are comfortable with. It's the landscape they understand and feel versed in. And it's dying out. Whatever happens, happens. I always said if I got one good time out of this whole thing I'd be happy; the productions they put on were far more than I had hoped for so soon after cancellation. I've given up guessing the future. I'm just going to go watch some movies and screen the rest of this mess out for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 The weird thing is that they seem to think PP crashing and burning would somehow be good for the genre and the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 AGREED. If PP cant get more seasons out of AMC & OLTL, then what this will say to other companies is dont try. It didnt work and if these soap blogs that feel ABC getting AMC/OLTL rights back will help the four remaining daytime network soaps, they are moronic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 I feel like so much of this antipathy stems from that moronic situation with GH because otherwise there's no excuse for it. PP didn't take any viewers from the network soaps. I know some people tried to say that they did but that was just myopia and ignorance. At the same time I wonder if the soap press would've been supportive even if there hadn't been that stupidity. If PP had brought back AMC and GL and there hadn't been this ridiculous hostage crisis would they still be standing outside Stamford with a gas can and a lighter waiting for the chance to dance around a bonfire? I actually think they would. It's not PP they hate, it's change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
