Members EnglishTea Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 Loose Lips just repeats others' - I don't think she has had an original scoop ever. As far as Michael Logan being made to look foolish, his ego is huge and he is used to be the king of daytime scoopage, but I'm pretty that PP doesn't care about catering (for good or for bad) to the soap press.

Members marceline Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 A scapegoat is someone who is blamed for something they didn't do. Logan is being held responsible for the fact that he said something would happen and it didn't. But I have no doubt that if and when an announcement is made, be it next week, next month or next year, he will take credit and claim that he was right all along.

Members John Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 well of course as will anyone with a blog who thought the shows would always fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 All of that sounds lovely, but you can't do that in a GOOD way with just a few episodes, which is probably the most we could get from PP at this point. You'd need a whole second season for that...and then people would be bitching that they still want to know where characters X, Y and Z are and do AJ and Miranda grow up and get married and live happily ever after? And do Cara and David eventually get back together? Do Erica and Dimitri end up together? Where is Jack? Do Tad and Dixie get back together (again)? What happens to JR? Etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EnglishTea Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 I think a two-hour MOW could accomplish a lot, and then there would be a few open-ended storylines that would leave the audience wanting more (we always do), but it could end on a more hopeful note. Then again, while I liked the opener (episode 1), I also thought that PV came off a little too depressing after five years (it took a week or two for me for the show to feel lighter) from the shooting. IMO, it should have opened with a celebration - Brooke and Adam's wedding day, and then the pieces from the night of the shooing unraveling with David's release and JR waking up - but that is just me. Like I said, it would be nice, but I'm far more content with the feeling that the lives of those in PV continues after PP's revival rather than ABC finale.

Members Vee Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 I think it would be classy to wrap the shows with some 60-90 minute thing for each which takes care of some of the major storylines while leaving other elements open or leaving hints to future intrigue. But either way, even if they're never picked up again, I think the healthiest thing for a soap is for there always to be the sense that the story, the place, the people, the community goes on, day to day. OLTL's network finale got that right in a big way IMO, and if the PP soaps leave it there they will also have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 Personally, I don't want or need a new finale. I don't think it will change anything. I think that most of the people who claim they want a proper finale mean that they want a happy ending for their character or couple. I get that because I have characters and couples that I'd like to see a new ending for too but that's not about the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 I really don't care that much, since I expect sooner or later someone will pick the shows up again. But even if they didn't, I'm happy to have the story ongoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted November 11, 2013 Members Share Posted November 11, 2013 Very well said and I agree. Personally, I'm happy Todd and Blair are together and I'm glad I got to see Dorian and Viki again and see the next generation of AMC's kids grow up and see some AMC fan faves return. I couldn't have asked for much more, despite the cliffhangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted November 11, 2013 Members Share Posted November 11, 2013 All of this hearsay bullsh!t does absolutely nothing for me. It isn't hard to see that nearly everyone involved in any current soap publicity has an agenda or is helping someone else's, so you just can't trust a single thing you read or hear. Sad.
