The Avengers is getting a little promotion amongst the soap opera audience this week. Marvel has announced that Wednesday's episode of the ABC soap opera General Hospital will see a screening of The Avengers figuring into the plot.
The official plot description is as follows: "Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) attends a movie screening, along with Matt (Jason Cook) and Cameron (Braeden Walkes) while contemplating his theory who killed Dr. Lisa Nikes."
Fox did a similar tactic promoting Avatar via an episode of Bones in 2009. Joel David Moore starred in both Avatar and on Bones. General Hospital airs weekdays at 3 PM EST/2 PM PST on ABC.
I think this is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteIt should get viewers in.
I don't however know how one episode will get them to keep tuning in. But I'll keep my fingers crossed it does.
