Soap Cliffhanger: Prospect Park Creditors Include ABC, Erika Slezak, Agnes Nixon, and Lots of Lawyers
Yikes! Prospect Park Productions — Jeff Kwatinetz’s company– has quite a list of creditors in their bankruptcy petition. This includes everyone from “One Life to Live” Emmy winning star Erika Slezak ($205,000) to Kwatinetz’s own partner, Rich Frank. They owe ABC TV $1.7 million! Other creditors include actors (Tuc Watkins, $60K) and Agnes Nixon Productions. The publicly available list of creditors includes a lot of law firms, too. What the heck was going on here? From the looks of things, Kwatinetz et al were not paying bills. I guess Susan Lucci really dodged a bullet by not joining up for this episode. Really, this is a complete and unmitigated disaster.

I did say in that story the management side is unaffected. Thanks for the compliment. There’s more about Prospect Park. And it all leads back to the owners, no matter the semantics.
Dear Roger, I love your site and you may be more accurate than Variety on this as you often are, but they are saying that it is the Prospect Park Networks, the company that was to digitally distribute soap operas online, that is entering bankruptcy protection, not Prospect Park Productions and not their management arm. http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/prospect-parks-digital-soaps-unit-files-for-bankruptcy-1201128914/
