OLTL: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)


Recommended Posts

Define tons of money? Its ratings are not significantly all that great, compared to OLTL and even AMC its final years. Anyway, I wasn't complaining about you giving your opinion, but when you phrase it like "Ask ABC! They will tell you!" etc, implying you have done just that, it all becomes ridiculous.

Fritz was a stage manager on the shows

Spent the day in CT yesterday - packing up my office. Lights are being taken down and the sets dismantled. AMC & OLTL are done for the year and certainly done at CFC.

However, Prospect Park has not cancelled the shows (as much of the press has reported) - but merely back burnered them for the time being. A new year is just weeks away, filled with new hope and promise.

I mean Mitch Lawrence, James Stenbeck and numerous others came back from the dead multiple time, perhaps our beloved shows will too. Thanks for all your support and stay tuned....

Thank you John.

I never trusted actors for BTS info. Half the cast of DS claims that it was aired Live not to mention Susan saying Agnes went to guiding light when it was failing on the ratings on NBC and her creative talent of bringing the show to number 1 is what got ABC's attention.

So I really don't think Debbie is correct.

I do feel thats what Debbi was told by her manager . Truthfully, contracts with talent crew, unions and studio expire soon if some already havent already done so. PP cant hold on t the actors until the shows came back. So I take it more as we are releasing the actors and If and when this returns we will contact you.

I hope Rob Gorrie gets future employment because he's just ridiculously attractive. And I'm not one to salivate but he's just so cute.

When the show comes back next year he'll be naked on Day One.

That's right, laugh! No, I really have no idea if the show will ever come back. But I stand by my assertion that no less than a mass execution of the cast would prove to me OLTL is gone for good this time. It's like the Terminator. We'll see it again in some way, however small.

Maybe they will release novels or radio plays like Doctor Who when it went off the air. And in 10 years we'll get a continuation where Sam has survived the Time War.

I always knew Tea was a Dalek.

Carolyn talking to Sonia about how SOD should havve been the vessel o promote these shows and Sonia agreeing, Yuckers.

SOD is Bleh now. Maybe they shoulda talked to Mimi Torchin or the welove soap dudes, Errol & MF. That would have been a good balance. IMO all the others would have not been fair to PP and the shows.

Guys and gals,
I would not be surprised if the judge in the PP vs ABC case, locks up the rights to AMC & OLTL. That way no one can use them until the case is over.

    •   Thanks. I'm glad she got to as I know some producers tend to get mad if actors want to direct.
    • I agree; I just wish we'd actually gotten a chance to see a modern Jack/Nikki pairing. It would have been my dream come true, especially since we got Ashley/Victor.
    • I don't remember that. What I recall is Alan living at Revabend, working as a farm hand and listening to Reva b!tch about money. Truly, I felt sorry for Pilon having to play that.

    • on ryan’s hope, when kate mulgrew (mary) became pregnant in real life it was written into the show. she gave the baby up for adoption, but mary had the baby (ryan) so, when she returned to the show she had to play a happy new mother. can’t even imagine. 
    • I have not found the time to listen to the whole thing myself, but I was tinkering with the Youtube AI helpbot thing (which in the app I found by swiping right on the Comments). The high level summary didn't point to it but it let me ask what she had said about Constance Ford and although its paraphrase was inaccurate it did point me to the mention about 52 minutes in. The only thing she said in relation to Ford that could be construed as negative was that when the interviewer asked what she had thought of her she started with "you devil!" and where she had gushed about how lovely she found practically everyone else, she just said that she hadn't really known Connie well and had never sat and talked with her. She also mentioned earlier that originally she had been very friendly with Jacqueline Courtney but they had later fallen out.
    • Gloria Monty started using tape editing but I doubt that was straight away. Maybe a few weeks/months in. Did Gloria hire new directors?-I would imagine so. She stated that she located the old tape machines used for the late night ABC Wide World of Mystery videotaped movies (some of which she directed). That meant that scenes could be shorter and chopped up, rather than one long scene playing start to end. Lamont was recast, probably with a more dynamic actor and the Mark/Katie story continued till mid 78. Marland brought on Dan Rooney, Susan Moore and Gary's brother Howard. Also Chris Robinson took over in May. So Marland pretty much followed his rules-not making any major cast changes and working/refining what was there. Laura killing David was really the first big story that boosted the ratings.
    • Her description was a bit off but it was 52 years ago so we can give her a pass.
    • Oh. Ok. I just looked at the article. Thanks. Perhaps they changed Jack's name to Stuart, added a daughter and had them all have different hair colors.
    • Thank you. That's what I thought because of the year but who was "Jack with the three blonde daughters"?
