Packed Up So Soon?

Disheartened Actor DA is full of hurt these days. He thought he was given a new lease on his career after his last movie unexpectedly hit it big. DA was so thankful as the movie’s success came at the most opportune time, like a shot in the arm, just when he was already considering a plan B. It was a major turnaround for DA as the movie’s success paved the way for his current Television Series TS project.

However, DA never thought that the initial euphoria would be so short-lived. Soon TS’ ratings became discouraging – and alarming. Heard from the grapevine that a TV Executive TE had “notified” DA of the figures, citing reasons that TS may not be hitting its mass appeal. In showbiz parlance, it subtly meant that the ball is now on DA’s court to help fix it or else … see its untimely demise.

DA acknowledged, but he believed that had he been given enough support, things would have been different. Reportedly, DA gripes that unlike other network soaps where there’s a gathering of major stars, TS seems like an orphan left to survive on its own. With hardly any bankable star to help sustain viewers’ interest, TS is now gasping for breath…and rightly so. It’s short of saying that DA felt that the burden of TS’ ratings was left solely on his shoulders.

To be fair, DA did his part to nurture the show very well, but he said that he could only do so much. There was a problem with one production head which was remedied by replacing him, but it did little to arrest the ratings issue, as the script is allegedly ill-suited as well. Hence, DA reportedly raised his hands up and left it to TE and the production to do what they deem best.

Will we see TS bidding us adieu soon? Uh oh …whatever will be, will be.
