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

[GregNYC]

Either Ellen Holly is lying or Erika Slezak is lying.

[Khan]

Can't it be both?

[marceline]

Yep. Although I think this is a case of two people remembering the same event a different way. There's no third party or individual record so there will never be any resolution. Everyone gets to just decide for themselves what happened. Or, like me, you could just decide not to care.

[Khan]

Yep, lol.

FTR: I'm with you, Marceline. I'm just remembering one of Mama Khan's many adages: "there's his side, her side, and the truth."

Well given all the Praise Ellen has Given Erika and Agnes in the past and now backtracks, Id say she is lying or confused.Read Llanview in the afternoon. There a few actors who say something about Ellen Holly is OFF now a days

In that Book Ellen has the EGO to say that she & the Carla story made Agnes Nixon who she was today. Bull [!@#$%^&*]. O believe a woman named Irna Phillips had way more to do with that than Ellen. Her nerve. SMH

[Khan]

I think anyone, even Erika Slezak, is capable of making derogatory comments, no matter how unintended. But I doubt she ordered whoever to get them Black bitches off her show, or whatever Ellen Holly alleges. I think Ms. Holly might be exaggerating there.

There is alot of buzz about the end of All My Children and while a certain magazine mention one certain columnist would make the announcement last Friday as of now nothing has been mentioned and from what I understand this columnist is not very happy being used as a scape goat in a matter of speaking. So in actuality no one knows nothing not even the actors. So I guess we will have to wait and see if the hammer comes down

She is refering to TV Guide's Michael Logan

This made me howl. Let me find out Prospect Park got the soaps on layaway.

[Dee41]

I wonder if ABC put them on a payment plan

[John]

I could see that

[Vee]

I ain't even getting into any of this thread in the last couple pages.

Good-bye OLTL

I wish things could have turned out differently..

Thank you PP for trying

[John]

Bottom Line Re: @Prospectpk, @AllMyChildren & @OneLifeToLive for me is that PP did give its all. They didnt give up after the first set back. They raised 25 Million. They got a studio, writers, producers, actors. They even worked out new media contracts with the unions. That right there is a new frontier.

From all accounts from the actors while they filmed, PP treated them like royality. PP put money into new sets, HD, catering. The casts had nice dressing rooms. PP put the actors up at an hotel. Most said it felt like they were back in college. Other actors said being on set felt like he shows were a repeatory company.

Ok so PP doesnt have the best PR department and some were upset about the lawsuit. However I would have also sued ABC too. PP bought all things OLTL & AMC & ABC was playing hardball, not cool.

As I said before I feel if PP had started the shows off seasonal and then increased if they proved to be money makers then future seasons may have occured easier.

Bottom line, TV & film is all about the money. Yes both AMC & OLTL were highly watched on Hulu and I Tunes but maybe not enough eyeballs to make the profits they needed. Also ad space on the net costs less than on TV so they didnt make enough money there as they would have if it wa son TV

Once again PP, thanks for the efforts. The cast & crew were awesome. Thank you for this year, it was great to visit Pine Valley & Llanview again.

Question now is @AllMyChildren & @OnelifetoLive fans is do @Prospectpk's rights now revert back to @ABC and if they do will ABC be open to leasing AMC & OLTL to other production companies? And are other production companies interested? #AMC #OLTL #PP #ABC #TOLN

   @debbimorgan it's not on you. You just had faith in what you were told. PP needs to come clean, explain money and communication issues.

@ClaudineGandolf Well not sure any of us will ever get the full explanation. But I must say I think PP really did give a valiant effort...
