OLTL: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)

I wish they would go up to three episodes a week. The main reason is if you only do two a week, it seems more logical to go to a one episode model like prime time instead of two. What some viewers consider filler others love, and honestly I don't want plot and only plot. If they did a show like Oprah's 25, that would be a true reality show/behind the scenes, and while I enjoyed that. I doubt that anyone would watch 50 programs like that unless they were fascinated with the subject. I liked the OWN show a lot, but I wouldn't have watched 50 of them.

Probably biased because I love the character and the actor but he gives really good, thoughtful interviews- I always get the sense that he really thinks through his acting choices and has made efforts to learn about his character's history and about OLTL. Interesting that he seems to be doing a little selling of Matthew/Destiny at least for right now. Definitely get the sense that Michelle's arc would have been over sooner rather than later if they continued taping and maybe that's still the plan for S2.

Those are pretty good picks! Some of the only scenes that really stood out, to be honest.

I would've liked the Rama and Vimal open marriage discussion to have been included, but the storyline itself went nowhere, so I guess that would've been awkward.

Other scenes that come to mind: Cutter and Natalie's dance off, Todd and Jack sharing beers, something with Victor and Tea, and a Viki and Dorian moment would've been nice.

Aug 22 @AshleyFrazer3: @debbimorgan I'm wondering when season 2 of All My Children will be airing on Hulu?

Aug 22 @debbimorgan: @AshleyFrazer3 Sure there will be a pretty big announcement!

Any number of soap stars (Kelly Monaco first and foremost) have done DWTS - with far more grueling schedules than the PP system.

Yeah I'm not fearing for OLTL- if anything maybe Corbin will give it a few plugs. I'm sure he could still tape serious chunks in CT when DWTS isn't live if needed & maybe his original contract included some outs. He was a big get so I wouldn't be surprised if they bent over to accommodate him more than other cast members.

Good for him- with his HSM background, I could see him getting pretty far.

Well, Susan Lucci did DWTS when she was on AMC and other than the fact that she had obvious difficulty picking up some steps, she seemed to work things out just fine in regards to scheduling.

And I bet Corbin Bleu will pick up dance steps very quickly with his ability.

Once the season of DWTS begins it will be obvious that OLTL will be mentioned more than once. A good way to get the word out.

    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
    • I keep forgetting a huge chunk of that year was written by scabs. You're probably right, because by the time the strike was over, they were likely planning an exit for Alan's character as it must have been obvious by then that Bernau was not going to return. If he was still there, it's also doubtful they would have approached MZ and MG about coming back. Wild.
