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

[Vee]

He's being polite to you because you are an very persistent fan. In reality your repeated questions with no variation are exhausting to both the actor and your fellow fans. You don't realize how it comes across, but the rest of us do. It's like you're carpet bombing the actors with questions. Take a break.

One Life to Live about an hour ago Think you know everything there is to know about Emmy award winning actress Robin Strasser? Test your Robin Strasser (and Dorian Lord!) know-how on TOLN! http://bit.ly/17PzNbQ

Missed the first one.

If I were PP I would work on the production model for AMC & OLTL such as how many episodes to film this season & how many weeks each soap will film their episodes.

Then I would renew the lease with Conecuit Film Center & then go to actors and sign them to new contracts

Given that both soaps already have scripts ready, then I would set production start dates and finally premiere dates.

Yes by my timeline, both soaps would not begin production on season 2 til early 2014. However, I strongly believe that PP can't rush this and needs to take its time.

As fans, even though we may have wait months,I would assume we want quality over quantity and if taking this time will result in that, I am all for it.

Fans keep the faith

I agree John, they need a VERY clear plan. I totally understand the rush this first go around and figuring everything out and what would work for them. I get it, but it was frustrating as they came off as so unprepared and oftentimes just seemed so unprofessional with how much of a mess things seemed to be (which I think made it hard for them to be taken seriously, JMO).

I hope we aren't hearing anything right now because they ARE taking their time and figuring things out. If they had a solid game plan the first go around, better publicity during the middle/end run, and a clear gameplan for the next seasons, I think I'd feel a lot more secure about them right now.

I'm trying to hang in there but their silence just bothers me, even though everytime they opened their mouth it was a mess. I felt bad but they really need a solid game plan.

Not sure where to put this but Corbin did a recent photoshoot. I miss seeing him on this show

[allmc2008]

I know it is Nelson but he has been right about many things. Anyway, has anyone bought this issue yet?? It is regarding the lawsuite. Not sure if I should buy it or not. If anyone has can you send us excerpts??

Read the lawsuit and it seems by the expert in SOU that its too early to tell what wuill happen RE PP Vs ABC

[EricMontreal22]

I'm shocked theat there's no news from Nellie

[allmc2008]

Good thing I chose not to buy it......

According to Lynda Hirsch's soaps column from creators.com, the court dates for the PP/ABC lawsuit are 12/3/13 and 3/13/14.

[John]

I heard that too. Thx. I guess December is a discovery motion

[BKuzak]

Obviously i'm pretty stupid but what does this lawsuit have to do with the "new" One Life? I'm saying why did they have to "take a break" from the new episodes because of the lawsuit. GH already got rid of Todd, Mcbain and Starr. The actors are all playing different characters. if they win does that mean the actors will be pulled off of GH? (not that i mind, Micheal Eastern just continues to play bascially the same role/atitude with every 'new' character. Although i like Kristen and Roger's characters.)

Why can't they put new episodes on OLTL dealing with the characters they already have on OLTL and wait until the third season to do whatever with Todd, Star and Mcbain. Unless they just can't do two things at once (producing One Life and fighting in court).

[CBRVA83]

PP is suing ABC for killing off two OLTL characters (Cole and Hope) and mishandling the other OLTL characters on GH in their storylines, and claiming that Tomas Delgado from OLTL was really Lorenzo Alcazar on GH (both characters were played by Ted King)! And PP filed the lawsuit a couple of weeks before PP launched both AMC and OLTL online, and they still taped more episodes of both shows for their first seasons, so I don't see the reason to shelve both shows and not start production on both shows for their second seasons because of that stupid lawsuit!
