Very Interesting Indeed...

An article that appeared on TheDailyBeast.com recently has gotten quite a big reaction, from fans and actors alike!  The article talks about what went wrong with Prospect Park's plans to launch AMC and OLTL online.  But I think it's Cady McClain's (Dixie) rebuttal of the article that I find most interesting.  Check out the article HERE, and Cady's response HERE.

It is, and has been my quiet opinion all along that we were had.  That it was far too good to be true.  And that it would never happen because there was no way they could come up with the money to make it happen.  Quiet because so many were so excited and optimistic and I didn't want to step on that with my glass half empty attitude. After reading so much on what went wrong I guess I wasn't too far off.  It's sad.  Sad all around.  For the cast and crew, for Agnes, for us.  I said at the very beginning of all this, "I wish they had let AMC go with dignity," and I still wish that.  Now we will forever have a half assed ending with no resolution.  What a shame.

As The Soaps Turn...

The continuing saga of Prospect Park and will they or won't they air the soaps.  This article really breaks it all down.  It doesn't solve anything, but it definitely puts it all out there!  Click HERE.

Oh, This Doesn't Sound Good

A new article posted by Studio Briefing states that bringing the soaps (AMC and OLTL) online has hit a snag.   Well shoot, fans already knew that.  Filming would have to start very soon if they were going to start airing on the internet in January and very few actors (on AMC anyway) have been nailed down.  Let alone all the other problems that seem to be cropping up.   Many of us have speculated, just how are they going to get the money for all this?  That's pretty much what the article is saying too.  The saga is turning into it's own soap within a soap... As the Internet Turns.

Another Actor Signs with Prospect Park!!

Finally! Prospect Park has signed another actor for the continuation of AMC on the internet and it's a biggie! Darnell Williams (Jesse) joins the already signed Lindsay Hartley (Cara) and Cameron Mathison (Ryan). Jesse will unfortunately be going on without Angie though since Debbi Morgan is now on Young and the Restless. 

Susan Lucci on CBS Sunday Morning!!

Tune into CBS Sunday Morning tomorrow, September 18 for an interview with Susan Lucci (Erica) on the set of AMC.  Susan will talk with correspondent Mo Rocca about her time in Pine Valley and what's next for the daytime diva.  CBS Sunday Morning airs on CBS from 9:00 - 10:30 am EST.

Prospect Park Sends Out Actor Proposals!

Looks like things are moving along.  Walt Willey (Jack) via Soap Opera Weekly has said he received his first proposal from Prospect Park.  Walt seems optimistic that things will work out, with both AMC And OLTL starting up on the internet in January 2012.  I hope he's right.  So far Debbie Morgan (Angie) and Jacob Young (JR) have found new gigs, and several others have eluded to being ready to move on.  It will definitely be interesting to see who lands where in the coming months! 

Vincent Irizarry Weighs In..

Still so many questions.  It's hard to know what to believe or what to think about everything.   Slowly but surely, information filters in.  Vincent Irizarry (David) took to his Facebook page to give his thoughts.  Here's what he had to say...

To be or not to be on AMC... that is the question

I've been getting a lot of questions from many of you, asking 2 things: am I going to the AMC Fan Event, and will I be staying with the show when it transitions to the internet? The first is easy, yes, I plan on being at the AMC Fan Event at the end of the month. The second, not so easy. Some have even informed me that it was reported somewhere that I'm staying with the show. That is not at all true at this time. Until I hear from the new producers to learn what they're offering, I have to work under the assumption that my contract with the show ends on Aug 31 and plan accordingly, which I am.

Lots of Questions, Not a Lot of Answers

Since the announcement Thursday that AMC and OLTL have been bought by internet based Prospect Park, there have been tons of questions and even more speculation.  How could this possibly work?  Who will make the move with the show?   How can they pay the actors, crew, production costs, etc.?  Will we have to pay to watch it?  Just what the heck is going on!?  Both Prospect Park and ABC aren't saying much and a new article in the LA TIMES addresses these concerns without any answers.  I know I've heard that the actors contracts end August 31 and that Prospect Park will have to renegotiate with each actor they want to continue with the show.  That will most assuredly mean pay cuts.  And what about how it seems that none of the actors knew this deal could be in the works.  It stands to reason that some, if not all or most, have started making other arrangements for themselves, whether it be auditioning for other roles, negotiating a return to a former soap, moving back to NYC... any number of scenarios.  Hopefully the coming weeks will shed more light onto this very confusing story!
