Members vote4llama Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 PP getting these soap continuations off the ground was such a huge thing for the genre. A lawsuit like this is going to be a burden for a soap, whether it's AMC/OLTL or GH. I mean 25 million? seriously? Hope Disney/ABC doesn't pull a Santa Barbara on GH.

Members Vee Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 What's exhausting is the relentless martyrdom for GH from virtually every soap blogger. Which is exactly what GH has relied upon all along to get them through this bluff since the beginning, even if that is not legally actionable IMO. You've already got all of them from DC, whatever that "Source" thing is, etc. out there whining and moaning that no one could ever love OLTL more than the GH team and how dare their intentions be questioned, it was all for the good of the characters and if you think OLTL should have the characters back or ask for control vis a vis Frank and Ron you're ungrateful. Hos, please. I was this team's biggest (and IMO very first, but let's not quibble) supporter in 2007 when they started in Llanview. But they are not the godhead, and they are far, far from infallible. They do not own OLTL - that was simply a perception deliberately fostered by their sympathetic voices in the tiny little soap press world. And that was leaned upon to try and get out of this situation, and they couldn't do it. OLTL is moving on. And while I don't necessarily agree with a lawsuit, I do think GH played dirty and leaned on that sentiment to try and blow the terms of their agreement. Whether or not you like the show they put on, acknowledge that they don't own both. I love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 And as far as the ads lawsuit? They may want to scale back on promoting Roger too much because when he leaves, his fans may go with him. He will be on the show short term, so spending too much focusing on Todd would probably be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 Don't sweat the money. It's all about the settlement. Nobody's going to have to write a check for 25 million or even close. I'm just starting to read the actual complaint. Boy, I hope the legal blogs pick this up. If you think soap boards are bad, they're a kindergarten class ice cream party compared to legal blogs.

Members Vee Posted April 19, 2013 Members Share Posted April 19, 2013 I believe RH may do what he likes, regardless of what these two fight it out over. His contracts are a different story. That complaint cites some evidence regarding character and story control, dated 1/12. The language is OTT, but they may have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted April 19, 2013 Members Share Posted April 19, 2013 You know, it's quite possible 1) Rich and Jeff and everyone else at PP doesn't actually watch these shows, and 2) they're only now finding out "through the grapevine," so to speak, all the [!@#$%^&*] Frank and Ron did with these characters while they weren't paying close attention? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
