Members ChitHappens Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I think she should do it when "The Butler" comes out. That would be great publicity for AMC [and OLTL by association]. I've seen numerous previews, and O looks like she nailed this role. I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 To be honest I thought of P&G too, but supposedly P&G didn't want anyone to have the soaps anyway, as Grant Aleksander and Crystal Chappell tried to make them an offer. Oprah also turned down AMC/OLTL initially, which I could understand, although it still annoyed me. I'm not sure if they'll fit with the rest of her network but I hope they will do well. I really wish she could do a big interview with Debbi Morgan, or Debbi and Darnell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greens_dupres Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Soaps In Depth ABC @soapsindepthabc17m @carlivatiron Exactly. It's SO hypocritical. I mean, it's a great thing for the genre, but really says a whole lot about her. Can he just worry about making fake-out Vanessa Marcil returns covers? Really gross that a soap magazine publisher wouldn't want to spin this positively. Even the DC gang is claiming to be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted June 26, 2013 Author Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 There are more than 40 that we will see on line. They had edited 40 complete shows of both soaps by June 6 but are still editing more. I think AMC had 47 complete and OLTL had 50 The first 40 go thru August on Hulu and they run from july 15-Sept 20 on OWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I guess he takes this as a personal rejection. Too bad so sad. The next time someone tells you that Ron "loves" soaps, show them this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I think what fits with OWN nowadays is what saves OWN's ass. Case in point: Tyler Perry and soaps. So it's fine with me, and I think it fits her audience. And as obnoxious as I often find Oprah, I think there's something very karmically appropriate about these soaps now being in the hands of a powerful black women. Both black and female audiences has been the backbone of soaps for years and years, but more and more they've been marginalized, especially the black viewers. Even Y&R has all but turned its back. I think there's something right about this. I do hope she does PR with them, yes. And appears on the show. And I want Tika to do a guest shot back on OLTL, but I've said that. She is just fantastic on that terrible Tyler Perry soap - a revelation beyond imagining, except some of us could imagine it. P&G will never give up their toys, until someday they do. Maybe. They just don't care. I think he's probably happy, on some level. I just find it incredibly tacky that this is basically his first comment on OLTL since PP returned from the dead - to bitch about Oprah. Given everything his GH has been a party to of late - right down to having extras shout "Todd! Todd!" as RH/Franco enters camera range onscreen - you'd think he'd have more tact.

Members alexisfan07 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 If I recall correctly, Roger's in the first 40 episodes, so perhaps the 40th episode ends with a decent cliffhanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 They are also the ones who took a shot at PP by saying people shouldn't praise Cassandra's story if they were upset with Ron's rape fetish stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I can't get mad when 2 hacks have a conversation on a public forum. It's like when two severely mentally challenged people get together and try to rob a bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Isn't Oprah allowed to change her mind? My goodness. Plus, this is a better deal for her. She's not incurring any production costs, at least that we know of. If the relationship continues, maybe she'll pump some money into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
