Soap Opera Network has compiled soap actors tweets regarding the jump into the digital net. Here's a sample, but hit the link to read them all..there are a lot!
Kassie DePaiva (Blair): "Wow!!! What a u turn? Don't know what it all means yet. Very happy for our fans!!! VERY!!! You deserve to have these shows continue after your years of support!"
Catherine Hickland (ex-Lindsay): "I want to be excited about this news for viewers but need to know more about everything. hated seeing you know who's quotes in article. STFU. If ANYONE made something happen with shows moving forward, it's the FANS! #get it?? And know that it is Agnes Nixon who fought alongside of you all tirelessly, never letting go of her "children" for even a second!"
there was another post by someone on FB and I will try to paraphrase it. (this isnt mine. not stealing!!!)
ReplyDeleteok, so Soaps started on Radio (Guiding Light) and then as technology changed, they moved to television. fans revolted and no one thought television would catch on. and yet, it did and soaps survived (for the most part, you know what I mean...)
now? technology is advancing. and just as soaps moved from radio to television in a means of survival, they are moving with the advancement in technology to internet.
if you look at it from a historical perspective, this is a natural progression and history is repeating itself. Lets hope lightning strikes twice.
I wonder how much they will charge for a subscription to watch soaps online.
ReplyDeleteSo, I do not really suppose this is likely to work.
