Members John Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 They do mean the original liscening agreement. There was not a new one. Just a addenium was added for borrowing the seven OLTL characters. The lisence is good for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 Depends on if they had to name Todd, Starr and John in these particular contracts because they were PP property licensed to them. It's not usually done, but with a case like this - has there been one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 The roles were NEVER limited and PP knew this. My guess is that PP needed the 3 to be walking billboards for OL while on GH. Cut the losses and GH finally did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EnglishTea Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 I thought they were talking about Tomas and Alcarzar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 The legal departments for both networks for one. PP and ABC had been negotiating and talking till ABC realised they were really going to get the shows off the ground and they world lose their characters. That's when ABC/GH broke off contact and negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 Everything I have ever heard - which could all be scurrilous bullshit, admittedly - suggests PP wanted to negotiate, and GH wanted to run for the hills and create new characters immediately to lock them in. They didn't want to negotiate at all. How do you know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 To you because you are for some reason are pro-ABC.This is a legal dispute which has nothing do with who is "looking worse." It is about property, money and profit. Unless there is some secret legal contract out there, PP clearly has solid legal ground, but there is no way that it has the finances to push the lawsuit. Ultimately, PP and ABC will settle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 Does PP even have a chance of winning against ABC/Disney, really. I mean Disney probably has a legal team on retainer........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EnglishTea Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 I also think a lot of this is to keep them in the news - soap opera behind the soap operas. If money they get from the lawsuits helps keep PP's AMC and OLTL online longer, I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 And yet they said nothing? PP licensed the characters to GH for a year, and if at any point, they didn't like what was happening, they could very easily reference this agreement. My guess is that PP didn't think OL was getting off the ground and was going to offset the outgoing expense (Licensing Fee) with the incoming income from the 3 characters. That said, they were so unhappy that GH breached this agreement that they went into negotiations with ABC/GH a year later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 Soaps In Depth ABC @soapsindepthabc There are also inaccuracies. They say Todd moved The Sun to PC. Not true. He changed the name of the PC Gazette to The Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 I actually watched and limited is not what anyone should use to describe the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 Absolutely. It seems obvious as others have said, that PP were willing to go with all of this--they really prob don't care about Cole and Hope at all--and play nice to keep ABC in their good graces and willing to share or part with the characters. Now that ABC isn't they're going over EVERYTHING ABC did that was questionable as revenge or sour grapes, when really they were willing to just ignore it.
