ATTN PLZ! In My Opinion: 1) Whatever transpires #ProspectPark #OLTL #AMC I believe #PP BELIEVED & INVESTED in us & deserve RESPECT for that!

2) DUH ME-I JUST learned that some #Twitter peeps are NASTY-BULLYing good & well-meaning people? How MORTIFYING? I'm embarrassed & saddened

3) DUH ME deux: only last week did I figure out how to "visit" & "check-in" on "conversations" eeuw- Now I know..what am I going to do now?

You know this aspect doesn't really bother me. Granted, I was one of the fans who said I didn't want a finale that wrapped up too much. These are continuing stories, and I'm fine with having it in my head that they are still going on in their own little world. If PP is done, than we got a nice little epilogue.

And you woulda been thrilled to have Emmy WInner Jean Passanante write the finale :P

When PP tried and failed to revive AMC and OLTL the first time around two years ago, they gave out a press release immediately saying they were shelving the shows due to lack of funding, and PP has yet to give out a press release this time, which I think means that they haven't given up on the shows yet!

I wonder if they would make any money putting the much older episodes online. Do they have the rights to all of the episodes? It seems it would be free money to put them all online and rake in whatever advertising $$ they can. I bet a lot of people would love to take a walk down memory lane and watch some of the older stuff. Not to mention the newer viewers would like to see the history they've only heard about. I don't know if it would take too much manpower to actually have the shows put online though. It's just a thought that I would love to see happen. Then again I would probably never be able to stop watching. I don't really watch the old stuff on youtube only because the quality isn't good.

Soaps are about continuing stories but many of them come to a permanent or temporary resolution at some point before the next problem or story comes along. I personally prefer that they end at the point where things are more or less resolved. I don't think cliffhangers are needed to get the sense that these characters lives are continuing.

I have been saying for years that TPTB would make a killing releasing old episodes form the 70s a dollar a piece of I tunes. Or even a 10 dollar package for 20.

I liked the cliffhanger on ABC and the one on PP. I like the idea that the shows go on, the stories and people. Do I like that PP left it that wide open in so many stories without a resolution, no, but they had intended to pick that up.

But I've given up predicting the final demise of those two shows. I think sooner or later - possibly sooner - we will see them again in some way, shape or form and some of those questions will be answered or at least put to rest.

    • July 2012, Abe organized a gala that was an autism fundraiser in Lexie's honor.  This was the huge event everyone was attending (except Gabi and Melanie in the tunnels).. -- when the gas explosion occurred and the building collapsed.  The "Daysaster" cliffhanger before the Olympics break.
    • I think maybe Andre is subconsciously looking for a caretaker/nurturer in his life to replace his parents. That would explain his attraction to both Ashley (nurse) and Dani (older woman/his aunt's sister). I don't see any chemistry between Ashley and Andre though. In fact Andre and Derek had more chemistry in the pasta night episode than either of them have ever had with Ashley.
    • My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
    • a) you would not be sorry, but  b) full episodes from the first half of '89 are hard to find. 
    • Ya see..., that's why I can't watch this show on my own!

      I'm ripping it for being dumb, meanwhile half the episode goes over my head.  Hello pot, I'm kettle.
    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
    • I am fine with no one mentioning Bob-ette again.  It's frustrating not ever knowing what was up with him truly or why we wasted so much time on that to never get a conclusion.  I am willing to forget it though. Abe being on the board makes more sense to me because of Lexie and Theo.  I think there was a wing dedicated to Autism research or treatment years ago possibly named after Theo and Lexie was the chief of staff at some points and worked there for years.  I could see Abe having interest in the hospital still.
    • TR eventually came to be a nickname for Theresa Regina, the name her kidnappers gave her. Estelle never referred to her as Rebecca, though, always Theresa. I guess that was what TR wanted.    TR went to Switzerland. Jane returned for the last week.  After Ryder died, TR never had a love interest. I assume they gave up. I wouldn’t have dropped John Loprieno as Danny but he got squeezed out by Quinn, really. A TR/Evie/Jerry triangle might’ve worked.    David Forsyth and Jackie Schultz had good chemistry. I liked Luann though. I think Sharon Gabet would’ve been a more interesting recast, and she might’ve kept Joe Lambie on as Lloyd.    But Suzi and Wendy were gone, and Liza was talking about leaving town to join Gary in Africa, so before the cancellation, I do believe Liza was getting phased out.  Sunny and Patti and Evie were set up as heroines, and it was a small show. 
    • Andre/Ashley are a mismatch and not in a cute opposites attract sort of way. He is a very stylish photographer, independently wealthy, wordly  and she is a simple, struggling nurse with limited experiences. He has been having a covert sexual relationship with an older divorced woman and she is involved with a meat and potatoes blue collar  dude. Just  don't see what the attraction would be on either side.
    • I read that somewhere too - maybe it was mentioned in that book? I hope it's true.
