Members PAsoapfan Posted June 17, 2008 Members Share Posted June 17, 2008 I think they should have made her Jake's wife Carolyn instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms Deeve Posted June 17, 2008 Members Share Posted June 17, 2008 Carolyn would have at least made some sense... TIIC wouldn't want to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted June 17, 2008 Members Share Posted June 17, 2008 This is a joke, right? If this is a sign of things to come, I'm frightened. I've got a feeling Pratt's outlook is bedamned history and his aim is to totally reinvent the show. Just 1-1/2 years shy of the show's 40th anniversary, the show should be embracing its past now more than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted June 17, 2008 Members Share Posted June 17, 2008 This is completely going to flop. And I bet, to make matters worse, Taylor will have some past with Special Ops Devane. I liked Thorsten Kaye's idea for Beth a whole lot more. They should have listened to him. Seriously the only thing people have to say in support of Pratt is that he wrote for Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty...which isn't even true. He didn't write for them. I'm pretty sure those shows did well in spite of his association with them, not because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jumps Posted June 18, 2008 Members Share Posted June 18, 2008 I am just thrilled she is not gonna be Liza. A new character is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 23, 2008 Members Share Posted June 23, 2008 I hear that the role Beth passed on Y&R was that of Paul William's sister, Patty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NEWMANJABOT Posted June 23, 2008 Members Share Posted June 23, 2008 First I'd like to say welcome BETH ETHLERS!!!!!!!Secondly they have made pairings of actors who have been couples on other soaps and its flopped lets not go that route amc.While my preferred soap opera is GENERAL HOSPITAL I could get GUIDING LIGHT at 9am and would watch her on there.She is a good actress and I enjoy her tremendously. So she will be real treat to watch.But with Pratt at the head we are in trouble here.Just like GUZALUZA who he wrote with on GENERAL HOSPITAL back into the 1990's to the mid to late 2000's he is the one that helped to make what GENERAL HOSPITAL is today CRAP!GUZALUZA is just continuing on with the tradition here. I HATE FRONZ!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 Beth has an interview in the new SOW with Hinsey, she says when she signed her contract it was for her to play Liza, then they came to her and asked her if it was okay she not be Liza. She said Liza is a character everyone knows, but is glad she didn't have to play her cause she feels she'd be limited by her history and she wants to make her own character She also talks about coming to pick up her stuff at the GL studio with her kids, and they wouldn't let her in the building and they had her "credentials" removed They also had her listed as "requires escort" Beth talks about how her kids asked what was going on she told them they had to come back tomorrow and her kids said "I think they're just mad that you're not staying" Me: Beth has some smart kids LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LeClerc Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 And, if there was ever any doubt how involved Frons is, she says that she's not Liza because Frons didn't want her to be Liza, and Taylor is blue collar because Frons wanted her to be blue collar. Basically, although she also mentions Pratt briefy, it sounds like Frons is mostly responsible for developping Taylor. Now I actually agree with those decisions by Frons but I hate how involved the man is. Also, and this was rather disturbing to me, BE says that the production changes that have been made to GL will also be made to AMC, but hopefully handled differently. God helps us. And let me guess, AMC will be the only ABC soap that has to scale down its production model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 When Frons hand picks an actor or actress to come over to one of his soaps, I think that is the only time he really gets involved. Michael Easton, Kelly Monaco, Throsten Kaye, Beth Elhers, Laura Wright, the ones who he takes....Otherwise for non name brand actors, I think that the EP's and Hw's do that work. I am aware that some I named were already with ABC but it doesnt negate my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 He had NOTHING to do with Thorsten coming to AMC, that was all Carruthers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 Since when does ABC and Frons do press releases for actors going to soaps, like they are writers or Executive Producers? Never! I could picture it now. "John Brotherton to OLTL, Daytime Prez Brian Frons announces!!" Right. Lynn Herring Jon Robert Lindstrom Kin Shriner Julie Pinson Debbi Morgan Michael Dietz Rachel Ames Sarah Aldrich Marie-Alise Recasner Marie Wilson Kimberlin Brown Thorsten Kaye Kelly Monaco Michael Easton Kiko Ellsworth Tori Falcon Brian Gaskill Erin Hershey Presley Ian Buchanan That right there is a list of Port Charles cast members who Julie worked with also. Did she bring them to AMC? Did Frank bring Michael Easton to OLTL? Did Jill bring Kelly Monaco to GH? No! The common denominator here is Brian Frons. Just because Julie worked with Thorsten doesnt mean she brought him on and as you put it, it was ALL her. Easton, Monaco, and Kaye were former PC's stars who were loved by not, Frank, not Jill, not Julie, but FRONS. You said he had NOTHING to do with it? Yeah right, he had EVERYTHING to do with it, hence the big ass press release, and not just a nod in the coming and goings section in SOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MTSRocks Posted June 28, 2008 Members Share Posted June 28, 2008 She passed up a better role IMO. But I understand she wanted to be closer with her kids too, and RPG of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted June 28, 2008 Members Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yeah, those actors who do that bi-coastal thign with their families are just asking for trouble. I'm not sure it's ever worked long term - for the job, or for their marriage/kids. (Naturally, I say that, and I'm sure eight people will have at least twenty different examples of how it has. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
