Prospect Park Sues ABC Over ‘One Life To Live’ & ‘All My Children’ Licensing Agreement

[ChitHappens]

Extreme emotional distress! Anthony abused him for years and pimped out his mother. He'd do no time for that.

lol.

It's not like ABC hasn't done it before. Babe Carey wasn't on All My Children and One Life to Live on the same air dates. Mac Scorpio wasn't on AMC and GH the same air date when he came to Pine Valley to see Anna. By the way, if I recall correctly, when OLTL wanted Adam to reveal Skye wasn't his biological daughter, the story of Marian locking him in the panic room was to air at the same time they wanted Adam in Llanview. So they had to hold off until after AMC got Adam out of the panic room. So they have done it... at least for themselves when the shows were wholly their own and they had something to gain.

BASELESS!

[R Sinclair]

The focus was mainly on C**e&H**e so I don't recall, but was he also implicated and/or convicted of Anthony's murder?

[rhinohide]

Yeah. That kind of saturation always works so well. (See Sabrina and Kate/Connie).

[rhinohide]

It was Frank. He'd planned to do more, but there was signifcant backlash about the OLTL3.

I've heard that GH merely did this out of spite (ie we wonb't even refer to your damn characters by name again then, fine!) and weren't obligated to, but that makes sense.

:lol:

Everyone is thinking this is ALL about Roger Howarth, Kristen Alderson and Michael Easton.. But it's not, it's way more than that

[JackPeyton]

Do you know what a nightmare that sounds like? all around, in terms of writing, of production, what happens if news stops the show from being aired for a day?

Not to mention.. KA and ME didnt sign onto iOLTL...

Well i am thankful to PP for that! lol.

[quartermainefan]

The whole fight seems pointless. If I were PP and RH was starring on TV as Todd I would consider that free publicity and I would be airing ads during his episodes. The two shows don't even need to keep the same continuity, he could have just been "Todd" and parallel universe "Todd" who has no knowledge of his other existence.

[Khan]

You mean, like Skye?

[quartermainefan]

Maybe, I was thinking more like 1950s Guiding Light which ran concurrently on radio and TV with different storylines but I believe the same characters.

[cassadine1991]

no that would be completely stupid even for them; this ISN'T Dark Shadows

[Vee]

That is the dumbest idea I have ever heard.

[Khan]

GH and OLTL shouldn't even attempt to share any characters unless the two were taped on the same coast, at the same studio, a la B&B and Y&R. Travel expenses alone would put a drain on someone's finances.

Well, I wouldn't go that far.
