Members AddictedToSoaps Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 Oh thank god this isn't true. Pratt was awful on GH!! I like the show better with just Guza (but that's not saying much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 At B&B...thankfully. The situation at ABC Daytime with Frons is just so horrible I don't think Agnes Nixon herself could save this show. Tomlin and Pratt, I think, are better than Carruthers and B&E. It's just a nightmare all the way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 I wouldn't be so sure it isn't true. I trust SOD's sources more than an AMC rep. The reps lie all the time. They said Colby was not being re-cast days before the re-cast was made official! There has to be some truth to this. The Pratt mention is too random for SOD to just make it up.

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 Well we'll see. I still hope this is not true. I don't want to see AMC turn into GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 These two choices are interesting because Tomlin has more history has an EP than writer IIRC. I would love to see AMC get a new EP so the fact that it's in consideration is great. A new writer won't matter with the same horrible EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another thought just struck me. We'd end up with the awful Chris Whitsell on staff as well because he and Tomlin go hand-in-hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted April 29, 2008 Administrator Share Posted April 29, 2008 I wonder what's SOD's motives are by printing this? If they had the scoop, why not print it as news? Why are they leaking this rumour out and not other rumours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 Okay now that I've read the actual item that Zendall Fan posted I'm not sure how to interpret it. Does it sound like they have been approached about taking over together as co-hws, or that they have both individually been approached and Frons is just going through the his black book trying to find someone who will work with him? Maybe SOD is reporting this just to get word out that a search is going on, but doubt it will end up being Tomlin and/or Pratt ? I don't know.......

Members dragonflies Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 The ONLY good part of this is that it looks like ABC is actually looking to replace the Bears If they were smart they'd get Claire Labine or try to woo Kay Alden back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yup. This would be a new low for Frons. Surely Carlivati has vanted to him about Tomlin; can't he connect the dots and realize this would be a bad idea!? If Frons promised him a job after the strike then let him direct OLTL.

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 So, these two are the ones Agnes has been trying to lure to the show? If remotely true, I think THAT FACT probably saddens me more than the possibility of one of both of them taking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 I doubt Agnes has anything to do with these two contenders. She probably knows Tomlin but wouldn't know Pratt from a hole in the ground (lucky her). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCGio83 Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 I think Frons gets joy out of making bad news for AMC fans. It's like just when we think things COULD NOT POSSIBLY GET WORSE we get WORSE news. I just don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members baller Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 Question---how does Tomlin's Fic-Core status affect all of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
