What I mean is that all of these events took place after FRon knew of PP's interest in the characters. PP could have put a stop to all of it and/or had FRon make the changes that they claim were damaging to them.

The agreement said they have a year. They had til Feb 2013. It doesnt matter that they suspended things once. They didnt quit on it. They were working on it for that year

Y'all, this ain't, well, ONE LIFE TO LIVE. IRL, courtroom trials are hardly that exciting.

SMH. I am not even going to read through this thread because I don't have the patience for it lol. ME, RH and KA are not worth all of this! This is so lame.

That's not the point.


The point is not what was done - all of that is easily undone if you so choose. The point is, they allegedly had no right whatsoever to do it. And then allegedly screened out PP when it came time to deal with the situation as it was in the last few months.

While I have no doubt PP is doing this now because of what's recently happened--I do think there's a question of audience loyalty. There were a lot of OLTL fans who, despite most on this board :P, followed the characters to GH to see them. I don't think bringing back from the dead, and acting like nothing happened with these characters for the new OLTL--oh and recasting several, is really the best thing to do for the audience (though I don't think this lawsuit is really about that.)

Its like the easiest resurrection ever. We've had to believe much more ridiculous things- hello Tale of Two Todds. But more than that, do Cole & Hope really need to be resurrected? You would think they killed Viki from the language of the complaint.

Matters not when there were no damages. This is exactly the point. PP has to prove damages - I wish them much luck with that. If they thought for a minute that FRon's actions would cause harm to the new show, they should have intervened. They did not because they didn't care. They allowed FRon to do as they pleased because they wanted to share the performers. Idiots!

Bringing back from the dead could have been done on GH and recasting was inevitable. PP was trying to avoid it because the performers were the draw - not the characters w/out them.

Nobody cared about Cope, especially PP!

I think they should pay GH for killing Hope since saddling Starr with a baby was a huge mistake. For Cole, I will give them $20 for the original version or $30 for that cuter recast. I wish they could have just worked out an agreement where Roger went to One Life and John stayed on GH where he worked better. Then they could have flipped a coin for Kristen if really necessary.

My biggest ha ha over this is...

2 years ago ABC canceled 2 soaps. 2 years later, ABC is being sued over allegedly sabotaging efforts to reboot the same 2 soaps it canceled 2 years prior.

    • He definitely had it going on back in the day
    • I have long given up on logic and Mayor Laura Collins! It makes about as much sense as Luke being elected mayor over Lee Baldwin in the 80’s, maybe even less sense. She committed manslaughter as a teenager, was involved with a mobster (I guess credit for them taking Smith down), had a shoot out in her home and killed another mobster in self defense, thought she bludgeoned her stepfather to death, then was catatonic for years. Her current husband had a twin that was a serial killer, had his own breakdown that threatened lives, and most recently hid his brother for treatment and that allowed Ryan to escape and kill again. And had hook killer Esme as a houseguest and is raising her child. I don’t care for Sonny anymore but their relationship is just another thing that involves suspension of belief to watch the show. I wish someone on this show would remind these adults that they used to pull way worse stuff than this! I would love a scene where Laura is sitting with Lulu and tells her while she is not happy this is nothing compared to what she got up to when she was young, and maybe even some understanding that she would also do stupid stuff if she believed in the cause. Olivia reminding Dante that he was wild as a teen and this isn’t that. Felicia reminding Anna that they were being shot at when pretty close to Emma’s age. These characterizations are just so basic. Have some fun with the actual history of the show. That kind of wink would mean more to me than just name dropping some random fact.
    • There are no dumb questions here, we've all known each other long enough to fill in information without shaming each other.  We want you to be happy @carolineg.  Your POV as one of the few women here is vital. So, please, I hope you never feel as if any question, idea, or opinion is ever silly or stupid.  Your daily reminders about the realities of manicure and menstrual management has become a part of the personality of this thread. As for Hank, while I'm confident there's a plan in place.  It is frustrating that they announce these casting so far in advance that it is tough as an audience and wait it out until the thing happens.  I'm happy they didn't blow it the second Mike was in town, a week after meeting Liam. So, it is a slow burn.
    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
