Members greens_dupres Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm not really pro-PP management or pro-Union here- I'm just pro my shows and I guess trying to analyze this in some way that doesn't equal doom. I don't know the real truth and PP has certainly bungled a lot of things with this release. But I do think they must have had some logical, non-knee jerk reason for stopping production. With the 2 ep schedule, it doesn't seem like cutting 7 filming day is shooting themselves in the foot or killing the shows so I figure might as well remain calm until I know more. I don't think PP is throwing its hands up and giving up yet by any means. I think the fact that we haven't heard much smoke blowing from them since the announcement is actually a good sign that they're actually working with legal teams and financial people to resolve this. I don't know if the shows will go back in production but I'm certainly not anywhere near writing them off just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 I actually do not think it's true that if PP halts production that the ABC characters revert back. I really don't know anything, and I don't mean to try and sound like I do, but based on what I've seen and heard, it sounded like PP had to have something in the can by a deadline (which was extended) to make the contract binding -- but they have the license for 10 years. So my interpretation was that they had to produce one episode by the deadline to seal the deal. As long as they pay the licensing fees, which I would assume are payable annually? And they don't default on their payments -- they will still have a binding contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 At this point, WHEN these shows finally fold, PP should just give back the rights. This way, they don't have to pay the licensing fees that they clearly cannot afford. Two eppies a week so that the audience can keep up my ass!

Members rhinohide Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 So you're saying definitively that they WILL fold. LOL. Well so will GH and ABC will have no use for the rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 Nothing lasts forever. There will come a point when GH is gone, and these PP revivals end. I wish more soaps fans accepted that. Instead of this mockery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYPmZr7k4bg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 No, because realistically, everything runs its course. Many soap fans have an entitled view that just because these soaps have been on for decades, they're immune from ending. It's sad to see your favorite shows end, but they will and fans must deal and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 In case you missed the memo, our shows did end and we did move on. Then they came back. God forbid we enjoy them while they're here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
