Location, location, location: PP is planning to produce the shows in Stamford, CT. Studio space and sets are currently being designed.

In a deal between PP and Disney, the licensing fee for AMC was valued at a half-million more than ONE LIFE! Here are the deets:

AMC licensing fees: $4.5M per year through 2014 / $5M 2015-17 / additional $0.5M per year 2018-21.

OLTL licensing fees: $4M per year through 2014 / $4.5M 2015-17 / additional $0.5M per year 2018-21.

Plans are for the shows to be 30 minutes each, four days a week with a recap-type show on Fridays.
 

Branco has even more deets, including Prospect Park's executive summary for the project and information about streaming platforms. For additional information download the latest issue of Soap Opera Uncensored!

The important ones are still on the east coast - important to me anyway. Susan Lucci and Alicia are on the east coast, as is Ray McDonnell. Thorsten Kaye and David Canary are even in CT. I think Rebecca lives on both coasts. Lots of people could commute - that's what happens when you are an actor in general. People travel for work.

I don't see a huge amount of people from AMC working full time on the west coast so I don't see this as being a problem.

Agree, donny, I can take what they are pushing out. If it means saving the industry and having the actors jobs, I am all for it. I hope that it is true and that it is a hit.

Susan Lucci is in demand in Hollywood and PP won't be able to afford her with that budget.
