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.

Creditors

It was only a matter of time. Prospect Park, the company that licensed then killed “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” has filed for bankruptcy protection.

This is the company run by Jeff Kwatinetz and Rich Frank. The bankruptcy doesn’t affect Kwatinetz’s music management business or his ongoing lawsuit with ABC over the soaps.

But it does speak to the fact that Kwatinetz really never had the resources to launch “All My Children” or “One Life to Live” on line in 2013. He managed to get through one season before throwing in the towel and blaming ABC for his problems.

In short order Prospect Park built an expensive studio, hired hundreds of people ran up bills in Connecticut, alienated the unions and made a mess of things.

Kwatinetz’s past issues with Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Mike Ovitz and The Firm are well documented.

Just as a reminder: Kwatinetz himself is suing Prospect Park, claiming that a non compete clause in his contract is invalid. This would suggest that he’s trying to leave the company he co-founded. His partners say he can’t start a similar company if he does leave.

And that, my friends, is a soap opera.

I’m not a big follower of “How I Met Your Mother.” I do know the end is near, and that there’s been a lot speculation that the Mother (Cristin Milioti) was dead all along, a la “Lost.”

Ridiculous. Milioti says so today in a posted video interview. But also, really, who would end an 8 season romantic comedy in syndication with that bummer? No one.

I ran into Josh Radnor and Milioti at the Independent Spirit Awards back on March 1st. They had just shot their final episode the night before.

“There were a lot of tears,” said Milioti, who comes from a great Broadway run in “Once” with Steve Kazee. She also appears in “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

“It was emotional,” Radnor, who’s directed two very good indie films, said.

So what about the last scene? It must have been a wedding, no? “No,” Radnor said, shaking his head. “The show jumps around in time. The end is not anyone’s wedding.”

That’s all I can add to this conversation. Except to say the idea of Greta Gerwig starring in “How I Met Your Dad” this fall is very intriguing. The show will be shot in New York. If it’s sophisticated and cool, if Noah Baumbach writes any of the scripts, “HIMYD” could be Gerwig’s “Mary Tyler Moore” show. #Hoping…
