Yes PP was shady during its first attempt. However I buy PP's claoms. Its classic ABC/Disney Tactics. Finally someone is calling them on it.

I don't think abc has any plans to cancel Amc. I really want to see abc suffer in a weird way for what did to us on black Thursday. None of this would have happened if they had not been so greedy to have their cheap low cost shows and spit in our faces. I don't get why abc wouldn't promote this and want this to work. If pp makes this a success they make tons of money in royalties and don't have to pay a cent.

Ok, I'll buy that. The problem is, why would PP negotiate another agreement and not address this - because it was not a problem until ABC/GH refused to share the performers.

While PP was getting it together and re-planning to launch OL, it would have been a good idea to ask GH to resurrect Cope. Instead, they focused on 3 characters played by 3 performers contracted to ABC. They should not have negotiated and asked GH to make the changes. Problem solved. Cope means nothing to them, but the 3 performers were ratings for PP, at least they think they are. Sour Grapes!

It does seem beyond petty that the show can't even mention the character's names (or Llanview I assume)--and of course means Todd and Tea will have to refer to "that place" and not Port Charles a lot on OLTL.

There was no new agreement. The 7 OLTLers on Gh was an addendum to the original agreement. It says so in the Lawsuit.

I'm guessing that change coincides with the filing of the suit which is a pretty good indication that ABC wasn't acting in good faith on that. Honestly, if all the suit accomplishes is getting those domain names for PP then it was a good move.

Oh please honey, this Los Angeles. Do you know how many housewives are out there trickin' to make ends meet? Karen Wolek wouldn't rate a ticket let alone a court appearance. tongue.png

ABCd are ODBs for sure, but PP was still in bed with them until they lost the coveted 3. Now, they are bringing up everything that "bothered" them but NEVER ADDRESSED because they were too busy focusing on the "important" characters. Now, they are forced to focus on OL as a whole. Good luck with that!

I finally got caught up!!

On a side note, this reminds me of the court cases I read Irna Phillips's filed. I guess this is really history in the making......

FRon are too arrogant for sour grapes and they feel they got "the prize", the 3 performers.

I thought that was clear to everyone! I see I'm gonna have to be more direct.

    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
    • A white twunk with no purpose?? On Days of our Lives??!!
    • It feels like the show hired Hank Northrop first and are still deciding what to do with him lol. I don't have a judgement on the character yet, but this non-story (so far) has been happening for at least a month and he's only made 2 appearances lol. Also, this may be a stupid question, but is Chad's name really Chadwick?  I can't find any evidence of that in a quick google search, so I assume it's just a silly nickname Leo calls him?  I feel like I've heard other characters (EJ?) call him that though too.
    • I know Anita mentioned that she no longer was investing in the trust, while Leslie had stated that the interest was multiplying at a decent rate... but I do have a feeling she'll wipe through the trust in a short amount of time with the amount of spending she's doing. The show always throws in tiny nuggets of foreshadowing and having Anita's remark and Eva warning her mother not to overdo the spending tells me that Leslie will be blowing through that money eventually.
    • I honestly don't care if Laura is friends with Sonny.  She's been friends with him for decades.  The way she goes about the friendship is stupid.   She has no sense of self-preservation or awareness about the optics of parading her friendship with Sonny around town.  She practically celebrates it.  There's no reason in the world she can't just keep the friendship low key and explain they share a grandchild and frame the relationship that way.  A lot of Laura's choices, like getting into a public fight with Dalton, just make her look silly and like a fairly incompetent mayor. Carly is another PC lady that's starting to look silly.  I know she's explained her plan a lot, but it's still stupid and moving at a glacial pace.  If Joss is 45 by the time her revenge plot unfolds, what's the point?  Just dump Brennen and move on please.
    • On that same note, it's astounding to have mobster Sonny in the same office with Mayor Laura chatting it up about their mutual grandson. Think about the reaction if John Gotti and Mayor Eric Adams had a friendship

      ?? I guess the Logic behind Sonny & Jason acceptance is like when i saw a documentary where FBI agents said they'd rather deal with the mafia than terrorists or cartels---they're the "lesser of 3 evils". Anyway I'm about 30 years late on this convo.
    • Im confused. Does Jessica know anything about June's relation to Tyrell? At the start of the episode, it seemed like June was gonna slip that he was her son but she caught herself but later in the episode she referred to him as "my boy" and Jessica had no reaction like that wasnt a surprise to her No, Anita was putting money in the account every 6 months but we werent told how much was in it when Leslie became a beneficiary. The show has set it up that it was multiplying based off the interest so that its really worth quite alot now. I dont buy it but thats what they've told us
    • What was the point in Lori's return as Mrs. Max Hollister? That little story never made much sense to me.  Were there plans for a permanent return? Or even a new family with her as the matriarch?  
    • I guess it depends on your device.  I can watch CW shows via their website on my Windows PC.
