If I'm recalling the story correctly, Bryan Singer was in the middle of the Superman copyright lawsuit. He ended up on the opposite side of the studios, but it was then one of those studio executives who hired him to be lead director on "House."

Lawsuits happen in showbiz, but opposing parties often end up on new projects together, it is the nature of the business.

Fritz was a stage manager on the shows

Spent the day in CT yesterday - packing up my office. Lights are being taken down and the sets dismantled. AMC & OLTL are done for the year and certainly done at CFC.

However, Prospect Park has not cancelled the shows (as much of the press has reported) - but merely back burnered them for the time being. A new year is just weeks away, filled with new hope and promise.

I mean Mitch Lawrence, James Stenbeck and numerous others came back from the dead multiple time, perhaps our beloved shows will too. Thanks for all your support and stay tuned....

Thank you John.

I never trusted actors for BTS info. Half the cast of DS claims that it was aired Live not to mention Susan saying Agnes went to guiding light when it was failing on the ratings on NBC and her creative talent of bringing the show to number 1 is what got ABC's attention.

So I really don't think Debbie is correct.

I do feel thats what Debbi was told by her manager . Truthfully, contracts with talent crew, unions and studio expire soon if some already havent already done so. PP cant hold on t the actors until the shows came back. So I take it more as we are releasing the actors and If and when this returns we will contact you.

I really feel for the crew members, even more than the actors in some ways. You could tell they really worked their asses off on these shows. They looked wonderful from sets to costumes to lighting to hair and makeup. I really wish there was a way to let these people know how appreciated their work was.

Some Creative Daytime Emmy nominations would be a good start. The Hair and Makeup people were flawless (contrast Debbi Morgan's hair on Y&R and on this AMC) and yes, some people clowned the sets but frankly, I think Chandler mansion looked a he** of a lot better than the new Newman ranch.

Yes, some of the sets were a bit on the diminutive side but it's not like it was Peapack or anything.

If they really only had 30 mil for both shows - and they looked better than GH which is running on quite a bit more than that - that's really remarkable, and I thought the shows looked fantastic. I would hate to see some of those sets and particularly the crew responsible for making those sets and outfitting the cast gone for good. Cortlandt Manor, the Hubbard house, the Chandler mansion, Shelter (yes, Shelter looks a damn sight better than the "clubs" on GH and on ABC's OLTL), La Boulaie, Natalie's place, Pete's, even Téa's wacky, beautiful house - I loved it all. (I'm not counting Llanfair because it was basically identical, and perfect.)

I think we're back where we started, really, only we have more information this time around, which is why the AMC cast, at least, and some of the OLTLers surprisingly don't seem too upset (I'm pissed at how they've been left out of the loop, myself). It's dead, sure, but at this point, it's going to take at least two years for OLTL and AMC to be more than Princess Bride "mostly dead" for me. Anything could happen.

Oh, the galas looked wonderful. And again, a hell of a lot better than the Nurses Ball on GH this year, which was a lot of fun and done with a lot of heart but I'm sorry, you go back and look at the performances; that room was a half-empty barn. They had maybe 30 people in there, including a large portion of the contract cast.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By xtr · Posted

      Some other thoughts on today's show. I don't care for Bill/Hayley as a couple. I think that Bill is sexy and looked good on today's show. But I don't think that him and Hayley really have any chemistry. They seem mostly isolated on the show unless someone like Dani is sparring with one of them. I do wonder what is going on with Bill's hand and why it is trembling. He is trying to keep that from Hayley. I also don't care for June right now. I like Jacob/Naomi but would rather see them do something else than what they are currently doing with June right now.  I liked Nicole/Dani continuing to support one another after the fallout from their marriages. I think it's interesting that Nicole asked Dani if something was going on between her and Andre and Dani lied about it. I do wonder if Dani/Andre are starting to have stronger feelings for each other (maybe even falling for each other a little bit). It does seem like stronger feelings are developing between them and I wonder where that may lead for their storyline. And I enjoyed Anita/Vernon as well. I like that he supports her and wants her to do the reunion with the Articulettes. It does seem like at one of them really doesn't want much to do with her after she reached out on today's show. But maybe they will reunite and there will be drama between her and her bandmates. I am interested in seeing who the show may cast as her bandmates. I hope they get a couple of good actresses in the role.

      Looks like the Townhouse to me, I've been calling it Paulina's Townhouse (which Marlena and Kayla also use).

      Angela Bassett was also on somewhere in 1985 wasn't she. The NY soaps did so much for struggling actors. That's one of the reasons I will never stop hoping we get more of them.

      Oh, yeah as the episode went on, I love that they gave a plausible reason for him to back out. Most soaps who use an idea/story point to define a character would just drop it and make it seem so jarring and out of character. So I love common sense...or the SilkPress craziness...won out.

      All these years later, and Shelly Burch is still one of the most striking women I've ever seen.

      I really enjoyed today's show. Today was the most I have ever liked Martin. It was very sweet how he invited Eva to get to know his family. He has good chemistry with her (along with Kat). I liked how she got to know and started to bond with his family including Samantha who was understandably standoffish with her at first. I thought her styling Samantha with different looks at the end was cute. Martin's family is her family now too and I liked how he made that clear to everyone at pizza night at his home. The twins have a new Auntie.

        I think it will be interesting to watch Martin/Eva bond along with her bonding with the rest of his family. And seeing how others including Nicole and especially Kat react to that. I thought for a moment that Kat might actually show up at pizza night after Martin invited her but she didn't. I also enjoyed Eva trying with Kat. They do have chemistry together and they are cute, lol. I do think they could end up being twins, but even if they aren't I still enjoy them together. Whether it's sparring or Eva trying to bond with her or whatever.

      There were lots of spoiler pics for week of May 5-9 of Devon/Lily/Holden/Damian/Amy/Nate/Audra. I posted them on the spoiler thread that week because they all looked so pretty. I was hopeful.  Sorry to read in the recaps that it was mostly discussion of Dumas!

      Random Hump Day Reactions Despite my better judgment about commenting on appearances—what is going on with Philip’s skin? He looks distractingly sunburned. Did the makeup team forget to use foundation? Or powder? Or that they’re broadcasting in high definition? Meanwhile, Kristen looked like the saddest Alice in Wonderland. The dirndl was cute, but everyone in that mansion could desperately use a pop of primary color—and a reason to smile. It’s one thing for Belle to be blinded by love for EJ. It’s another for her to hear him admit to kidnapping Rachel and treat it like a punchline. Overall, there's zero urgency from anyone about getting Rachel or Kat back to Salem. Most of the time, Kristen and Cat seem to forget their long-lost mothers are still being held elsewhere against their will. At least when Doc, Kayla, and Kate went missing, people cared. Paulina even talked to that urn! (Still waiting to find out who was in the urn, by the way…) Raise your hand if you believe Rachel innocently brought up Tate’s baby. If your hand is up, do not click on any suspicious email links today. You’re vulnerable. And finally, deep breaths: Jamey—or someone he edits—named the miracle drug Versavix. Fun fact: real drug names are developed by branding teams after the research is done. Versavix sounds like the draft name someone scribbled during a Red Bull crash and forgot to replace. This isn’t even a good fake drug name. It’s like they forgot that the same show once gave us a literal ‘love potion’ that made Sami fall for Austin. Versavix makes me nostalgic for the days of ‘L-dopa’ and Stefano’s mind control chips, at least they didn’t sound like a discontinued allergy medication. (crud, another day, another broken promise to stop complaining about this).
