So may questions and not any real answers but still many are hoping....First let me say while the press has good intentions they are always the last to know what really is happening. When OLTL was in it's first quarter in 2011 the ratings and budget were well within the numbers. There was hope this show would be ongoing and ABC said in no uncertain terms that OLTL would have another season. This was what the press was told would happen. Well guess what they lied!!! RC was truly shocked when ABC canceled OLTL. After the shock that ABC had canceled 2 of its long time running dramas more information started to unfold. It was said that ABC and its affiliates struck a deal what we thought would be good news turned out to be more then fans could handle. Consequently this outcome resulted in the cancellations. What we now know is that nothing would have saved our shows, minds were made up and there was nothing anything could do about it. The Chew was put on and although ABC says financially The Chew is better, OLTL continued beating their ratings. It appeared nothing was going to change the minds of the stuffed suits over at ABC. And now The Revolution is also being spanked by General Hospital and again ABC are keeping mum on what they intend to do with GH. ABC likes to stretch the truth. ABC Daytime is once again playing a game, if "your soap" can meet or exceed these ratings goals and cut the budget, we won't cancel it. ABC realizing they made a mistake have offered the time slots back to the affiliates and guess what, they told ABC to "go fish" they refused to return the prior hour (which is now The Revolution's) timeslot back. So what does this mean? If ABC wanted to continue on with GH, they could easily place it in The Revolution's current spot, again this is not up to the affiliates, it is all ABC. It is very important that ABC has a strong lead-in to the Katie Couric show, and The Revolution is not cutting it. In fact, it is dying a quick death. As of right now there are no other shows in development for this timeslot that currently belongs to The Revolution. So keep your fingers crossed! GENERAL HOSPITAL: GH is on a major lock down. What sources were able to find out have become harder. Now this doesn't mean we will have nothing to report but the way RC and FV work is interesting to say the least. RC loves to mislead the audience about his real story direction onscreen as well in any interviews he gives. FV's new vision of GH as we know it now will change drastically, (thank you Lord) he's going with a mixture of past and present. There will be pink slips given out in the coming months and ABC is behind this. If you haven't figured out by now Valentini is a businessman. One actress mentioned that FV's way of producing is nothing like the (present) cast has ever had to do. It's a one stop shop. It's coming and it's not going to be pretty..........Sonny and Kate's relationship reaches an impasse (1) her supposed appointments with a shrink and (2) her connection to Jax. But all is not what it appears to be, I see a DID (Dissociative identity disorder) story in our future. Remember this is Ron C we are talking about and duel personalities are right up his alley......No word yet if Ted King is returning but insiders have said that FV wanted King on GH as Tomas, but RC wanted him as Lorenzo. Guess we will know who will win soon or later........Big moments at the Metro Court, news comes out that affects Sonny and Dante, their lives flash before them. Literal and figurative fireworks!......Holly returns to town and Ethan wants to know why she is there and what she wants! Helena is up to her old tricks which is part of the reason Holly returns. Look for more Laura mentions, that comes from Helena's deep hatred for Laura. Cassadine craziness is a coming people!!....That villain that everyone is talking about I hear just may be Faison, but nothing concrete yet, will it be a recast or will Anders Hove return?......Kin Shriner (Scott) is on his way back and he brings news of Laura, what this means is unknown for now......It is rumored that Robin’s “death” is mob-related, and Robert vows revenge. Is this how John McBain comes to Port Charles? Did Robert know former FBI agent McBain or possibly work with Robert in the WSB back in the day?...It is being speculated all of the on-screen stories the mob/the Cassadine’s/the Spencer’s/Robin’s “death”/JaSam’s baby will connect somehow, someway, and in the middle of it all, the one with all the secrets/answers/solutions/resolutions is…Tracey......I have also been told they would love to go into Sam's background with a Sam father story but it depends on if they get the actor they want....What if this was the end for Helena Cassadine for good?....What if Robin and Laura's fates mirror, ala the Ice Princess?....What if Alexis had a secret related to Sam?....What if FV considered bringing on Erika Slezak (Viki, ex-OLTL) for Luke if he can’t get Genie Francis back? http://www.soaptownusa.com/Loose.html |
