Members EnglishTea Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 Exactly. This was never going to stop Disney from doing business with these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 Fritz was a stage manager on the shows Fritz Brekeller 3 minutes ago near New York, NY 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 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.

Members marceline Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 Also the dresses for the Chandler gala. They brought the glamour for that whole event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
