Title: OT: Sam Hall Lawsuit
Post by: Uncle Roger on January 09, 2014, 02:37:15 PM
Apparently Prospect Park is not the only one suing ABC regarding One Life to Live. Sam Hall has filed a lawsuit claiming that ABC has not paid him residuals for iTunes and Hulu airings of OLTL!

Interesting. I wonder if that has to do with characters that he created?

a friend of mine is a neighbor of sam I believe in upstate New York and mentioned a lawsuit(local gossip)to me awhile back. he seemed to be under the impression it had something to do with the depp/burton film but I guess this must be it.

Perhaps he has another lawsuit in the works.

That would be really interesting!  I'm trying to think what he could sue over, though...  Art Wallace gets the credit for the main family.  Barnabas and Julia were introduced before his arrival.  That leaves... Angelique.

There is a video interview with Sam on one of the DVDs (and thus, the interview pre-dates the inception of the Burton/Depp film project) where he takes credit for the creation of Angelique Collins.

Another problem for Prospect Park. Robin Strasser has stated that she expects to be paid for the balance of her contact. She signed for a year but only worked for about 11 weeks.
Still no word from Prospect Park about the status of the two shows, other than they have been shelved. However, the licensing deal that was made with ABC states that if Prospect Park does not produce any further product the rights revert bac to ABC i

Sam's legal name is Alison Samuel Hall.  I think the journalist was just trying to be cute as I have never seen Sam referred to in this manner except in biographical materials.

Interesting!  I wonder if there will be a suit involving Depp Shadows then...   [snow_smileydevil]
