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

[greens_dupres]

I just rewatched- it is really fun. And I'm really hoping the Dani/Destiny fight in there wasn't cut- its LH's finest 3 seconds of acting so far.

I just edited to say I didn't recognize that one! And there was one with Tea and Todd near the front that I think is upcoming too

[Dee41]

I hope they keep it. There's so few scenes between the girls they can't afford to cut any. If you look in the background you can see Jeffrey sitting on the couch. He's the wearing the same shirt in one of the clips where he calls Michelle batshit crazy. Something has happened. I wonder if Michelle has done something to Drew.

Forget swearing!!! Here's the PP news we've been waiting for. I was too excited to search for the labor dispute thread.

http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/prospect-park-resolves-dispute-with-iatse-over-all-my-children-one-life-to-live/

All My Children and One Life To Live producer Prospect Park and IATSE Local 52 have resolved the labor issues that led to the two soaps going on hiatus 11 days earlier than planned. In light of the dispute, Prospect Park also was considering moving production of the two shows, based in Stamford, Conn., to another state. Now they will stay put and return to production as planned on August 12.

Speaking on behalf of the New York Production Locals, Local 600 Representative David Blake stated, “We are pleased that that the parties were able to successfully address their concerns in a mutually beneficial way, which will enable these innovative shows to continue to be produced with our talented crews.”

“We thank the entire I.A.T.S.E. organization for their continued support in bringing these shows to fans, and we especially appreciate the efforts of Chaim Kantor and John Ford and our entire crew for helping us to move forward as a unified team,” said Jeff Kwatinetz

Also if anyone feels super strongly about the cursing, the TOLN AND OLTL twitters are now encouraging you to vote in a new SOD poll (hashtag spreadlove- how does one apply to take over the twitter for these shows?). http://www.soapoperadigest.com/poll/1107819/results

so many people robo vote SOD and SID polls..

but yay!!! AMC and OLTL are back taping next month

[greens_dupres]

Oh I know- I posted it mostly because I thought it was hilarious they're asking people to vote in this AFTER they made the announcement with hashtags #speadlove and #foulmouth.

Honestly, the cursing thing is whatever now for me- I'm too happy to hear the labor dispute is over to be annoyed.

The Soap Opera Digest poll on the cursing is now tied, plus 20% "don't care". If TOLN is monitoring it, that may be good news.

Oh I thought they were gonna have Viki say sh-t there...lol

[DramatistDreamer]

Did anyone listen to the full podcast? I stopped listening last night after they played clips from the two shows as the highlight scenes of the week and announced Robin Strasser as next week's guest.

How long did the podcast last?

[John]

It was 62 mins total

[greens_dupres]

I would say maybe an hour and ten minutes? There wasn't much after you stopped listening- he took a few more calls where fans could say their favorite moments (I think one agreed on Viki and one said the Dorian/David/Shaun/Jack/Sam scene) or comment on the Jeff interview & then was putting on the AMC theme after he plugged next week again which is when I turned off.

[DramatistDreamer]

Oh, okay. I hung in there pretty well then.

Thanks.

Good interview with Rob and a new shot of Michelle & Matthew. Nice to hear he seems to really like working with and learning from Jerry verDorn- hope we get more of them together.
