Members marceline Posted September 4, 2013 Members Share Posted September 4, 2013 I think part of it is self-protection by battered soap fans. Part of it is a truthful acknowledgement by some people that they didn't like the product PP created, whatever the reason and sadly, a small part of it is some people who just truly want these shows to fail for any number of reasons: resistance to change, resentment at PP for the ABC/GH stuff, fanbase madness, etc... It's the age old choice: you can either be right or happy. If this all falls apart and AMC doesn't come back, I may have been "wrong" for believing in them but for a couple of months I got to be a blissfully happy soap fan again.

Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted September 4, 2013 Members Share Posted September 4, 2013 A couple of soaps are up in viewers over last year, B&B in particular. If the genre were truly dying, we'd continue to see plummeting ratings on all the remaining soaps, which isn't the case. DAYS and GH are a mixed bag (ratings-wise), and Y&R is going through a difficult transition, but there's still a passionate fan base for soaps. It's the suits and production companies who are making the idiotic decisions that drive viewers away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted September 4, 2013 Members Share Posted September 4, 2013 If it makes any difference I posted the OLTL OWN ratings for last week and they are up! They are in the Summer run on OWN thread. If it makes any difference I posted the OLTL OWN ratings for last week and they are up! They are in the Summer run on OWN thread.

Members Vee Posted September 4, 2013 Members Share Posted September 4, 2013 I think OLTL was rocky and uneven, particularly due to the BTS issues, but still a damn good start for a show that got off the ground practically overnight. It had no right to look and be as good as it was on that turnaround with all those kinds of logistics. It did things right that I haven't seen OLTL do right in a long, long time, so I don't think it was (or is) a failure by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members allmc2008 Posted September 4, 2013 Members Share Posted September 4, 2013 I don't think the lawsuit was PP doing as much as it is Jen Peppermen's. They didn't get upset with GH mentioning Stuart, Pine Valley, and Corinth. Also, they are still using Corinth on GH yet it is Agnes Nixon's property. Ginger Smith has every right to be just as upset for them mentioning Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 4, 2013 Members Share Posted September 4, 2013 Uh, Jennifer Pepperman is a hire for PP. She has absolutely no authority to launch a lawsuit. Do you really believe an individual staffer launched a company wide lawsuit? Do you have any idea how business works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 4, 2013 Members Share Posted September 4, 2013 Exactly--and besides which, the AMC/Loving mentions on GH didn't include killing a character, or revealing one character was someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted September 4, 2013 Members Share Posted September 4, 2013 LOVING is an ABC owned Soap. Agnes never owned it. Just created, Wrote it for ABC. She sold OLTL & AMC to ABC in 1973 0r 75. Since PP didnt lease LOVING, ABC can use it freely as it wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted September 4, 2013 Members Share Posted September 4, 2013 That isn't what I meant. I think Jennifer Pepperman may have provoked the lawsuit by telling PP that ABCD misused the agreement, which was causing issues for developing OLTL 2.0. I doubt PP had someone watching GH every second and making sure they were doing what they were supposed to do so maybe PP didn't know until Someone, such as Jennifer Pepperman, brought it to there attention.
