All My Children (AMC) and One Life To Live (OLTL) fans have suffered losing their beloved shows not once but twice after decades of dedicated viewing. First, the network canceled the shows. Then, the production company that acquired their rights re-canceled them when they halted production.
Now, the production company that leased the rights to the shows is in bankruptcy. In addition, their is a multi-million dollar lawsuit in the courts between the show owners (Disney/ABC) and the license holders (Prospect Park) regarding one of the shows. The result has been a long, drawn out legal battle that may continue for years while rights to the two shows remains in limbo.
In the meantime, AMC and OLTL fans continue to miss their shows and remain vigilant in letting everyone know they want and would support their return. When the shows restarted online, they turned out to be very different flavors of Pine Valley and Llanview than fans were used to, even with some familiar settings and characters. If someday the shows are released from the current legal quagmire they are in the actors from the original shows will have aged and many have moved on leaving little likelihood the shows would ever again look and feel like the beloved originals.
Right now chances of seeing these shows again seems very slim. But die-hard fans of AMC and OLTL will never give up hope.
Do you think we will ever see AMC and OLTL again?
No.....but I hope we can save the remaining four!
ReplyDeleteI'm positive that they'll return, because ABC TV has dug themselves into a much deeper hole made a huge ignorant misstake on cancelling them, they have already sank into! So I'm not giving up hope and not saying NO.
