I absolutely wouldn't want you to break any confidences. I've seen so many cases where posters disappear and it turns out they were sick, had a death in the family or something similar. As long as he's doing well, I'm glad.

I get that. I just hate the thought that the ENTIRE entertainment industry has to be centered in LA. I'm not a dreamer. I understand how business works but the...what? Creative side of me thinks that we get better entertainment options by spreading the business out whether its New York, Vancouver, Baltimore (Homicide, The Wire), Louisiana (True Blood) or even Bogota, Columbia (Fox's Mental. It's a sucktastic show but nonetheless its filmed in Columbia.) I could go on but I won't. Let's just say its a "thing" with me.

Damn. Come on man, you couldn't even meet me halfway? Really? What's a sista gotta do? <_<

I never said that her decision rests on the damn renovations.

Last year Susan Lucci appeared on Michael Eisner's show and she said that while she used to re-sign with AMC without question, the last few times she's really had to think hard about whether she wanted to re-sign, that she really weighs the pros and cons carefully. All I'm saying is that this is one more factor in the con column. That's all.

What excites me more than anything is AMC taping in HD. GH and Y&R have both benefitted from being shot in HD. The shows look alot better and it forces the director to fill in those additional gaps.

After seeing the CGI Cars in HD, I cannot wait to see what JFP and Guza come up with for November Sweeps. They absolutely have to do another explosion of some kind. I watched clips of the MetroCourt disaster the other day and it made me sad because I WISHED that was in HD!

Well, if that's the case then... all the less reason for me to worry about whether she stays or goes. I, for one, can go without Erica flirting with her grandson's father just to defy Erica's alleged age of 54. Give this 60+ actress a menopause story already. If they can do it with Blanche Devereaux and get 24 minutes of comedy out of it, they can do it with Erica Kane and get six to twelve months of drama out of it. If not, then Erica's just becoming a running joke and one more thing not to take seriously on this show.

What original cast members are on General Hosptial and One Life to Live?

It sounds ABC is making an investment in AMC if they are willing to pull off a huge relocation to LA. It's not like they're going to move them to LA, and then six months later go, "Hey! We're cancelling you anyway."

With ATWT almost certainly a goner next year, it looks like OLTL is going to be the only New York soap left. That's scary. And I think OLTL is on shakier ground than AMC now, since AMC is getting an upgrade to a "bigger and better studio" in LA...while OLTL is merely getting AMC's studio leftovers.

Hmm.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
