Members DaytimeFan Posted November 13, 2013 Members Share Posted November 13, 2013 This is such a non-lawsuit. I can't wait for Prospect Park to lose. It is the height of frivolity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 13, 2013 Members Share Posted November 13, 2013 I think this is just PP's lawyer starting to ramp up the drama before the December court date in the hopes of getting a settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wizzerkat Posted November 13, 2013 Members Share Posted November 13, 2013 They are probably trying to get at least something to cover their losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wizzerkat Posted November 13, 2013 Members Share Posted November 13, 2013 Too bad they put time into this and not a short announcement about the shows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dee41 Posted November 13, 2013 Members Share Posted November 13, 2013 Just how far in advance did ABC know PP were re-launching the shows? Hasn't this lawsuit always been about PP trying to make a quick buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 13, 2013 Members Share Posted November 13, 2013 To be fair, one has nothing to do with the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 13, 2013 Members Share Posted November 13, 2013 Well there have been rumors that since Cartini took over GH that they wanted to merge GH-OLTL-AMC into one soap. Plus PP had a year to make this work and if ABC were trying to do this during that year to Jan 2013 than it may be seen as another form of sabatoge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members electrorat Posted November 13, 2013 Members Share Posted November 13, 2013 It all makes me roll my eyes, but I especially love this: ABC even went so far as to induce the actors who had been playing some of the more popular characters on OLTL to sign secret, exclusive, multi-year contracts with ABC ― all without a word to Prospect Park." I guess Prospect Park forgot that their licensing deal was for characters, not actors. The actors owed them nothing, especially after that first failure to launch.

Members John Posted November 13, 2013 Members Share Posted November 13, 2013 However when U know that you have the characters for a Year but sigm the actors playing them to three year contracts, that could very easily be seen as sabatoge. The complaint it limits PP nrgpiating with those actors when PP took control of the characters. Since ABC had deals with RH, KA & ME they can block them talking with PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
