One Life to Live OLTL: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)

[Darn]

ABC really did let their soaps go to [!@#$%^&*]. So much so that we act like getting people who can simply do their jobs well is something to praise.

I hope these shows will appreciate the difference between organic vulgarity and simply cursing because you can. I've seen enough cable shows have everyone say the f-word and the s-word and all the words in-between to know the difference.

And I hope the nudity is kept to a minimum or at least not salacious because honestly, I can get that stuff on the next tab over.

I want good stories, good characterization and something to keep me coming back to hulu.com everyday. They WILL need captivating cliffhangers (something AMC practically abandon in it's final years), they don't have the luxury of being a program on the glowy box in the middle of the room.

Is that who took the shots of Corbin Bleu, as well as the new shot of Debbi Morgan and Thorsten Kaye in TV Guide? Or might we have more coming our way shortly?

[Errol]

Can't put out all your material at once, especially when the shows don't debut for several more weeks. Wouldn't make any sense.

[~bl~]

I get the point of staggering articles on different topics, but when I read something with a part one and part two I like to know when the next segment will be like Vee was asking. (If there is too much time between then I tend to either not read the content or forget what I read.)

Do you have set guidelines as to how you split articles into parts?

[Vee]

No, but if it's two parts of one article I'd think it can't be too far off.

I don't think it's possible to have Tuc Watkins in less clothing

[CookieMonster]

I agree. At this point, someone's going to have to rip Tuc's skin off like Willow did Warren on Buffy for David Vickers to get any more exposed than he already has been.

EDIT: Previous comments sounded harsh and was not the intent...

I do have a plan on when/how to release things. Those offended by "teasing" need to understand what promotion is about. If I'm supposed to reveal everything we're going to report just because I merely mentioned a clue, then soaps should be expected to release their episodes faster because they showed a promo.

[cassadine1991]

will we hear from younger actors (20s-30s from either soap) their perspective on nudity and love scenes in part two.. let's see I think Kelley and Andrew are the youngest ones.. KM is 19 and AT is 18

wonder if we'll get their perspective?

[Vee]

I didn't say I was offended. I understand the process of parceling out information like this and I didn't ask you to spill it all nor would I. I was just asking for a rough timeframe about when to expect Part 2. If you won't give that I understand.

I really don't see them writing the two barely legal cast members into nude love scenes. Talk about classless! I feel like it would mostly be men's butts around the late 20s to early 40s range. Perhaps Sal Stowers and Laura Harrier would be ok with it with their modeling background (I think Laura had her boobs exposed in some of her portfolio pics?) but they still might be too young.

[Vee]

I really wouldn't be at all comfortable seeing the younger Mannings in potential nudity situations. Or Laura Harrier, frankly. Love scenes are one thing, if done tastefully with the very young teens. But I'd ease them into stuff like that.

Robert Gorrie OTOH is old enough for love.

[alexisfan07]

Do we know how old Laura Harrier is btw? I don't think it's online anywhere.

[Dee41]

I do believe she's in her 20s

[Chris B]

I feel like I would start crying if they did a nude scene with Kristen Alderson. I couldn't un-see something like that! LOL
