AMC: Daytime Confidential confirming production moving to LA

Oh gosh no. I can't stand SMG. Overrated. I know some people don't like Alicia's acting, but I prefer Alicia to SMG. Plus, I'm biased towards La Lucci and I know SMG and La Lucci had their issues. I don't want to see SMG anywhere near All My Children even if La Lucci is no longer part of the show.

I'm in the camp that hopes Alicia Minshew goes. (When is her baby due? Wouldn't she still be on maternity leave when AMC moves to LA). I used to love her, and her Kendall, but years of overexposure has tarnished the character's shine. This show needs a break from Kendall (and Zach, for that matter).

Although, I fear that ABC would easily let Haskell out of her OLTL contract so she could move with TK if that's what he chose. I think the network values TK more than SH.

Or maybe they'll give her a role on GH, heh.

Edit: Apparently I can't write today (Sunday cocktails were not a good idea. hrmph).

Oooh, I like this idea, though! I think SB would prefer to work for JHC over JFP. Remember she called JHC up for an AMC role (pre ATWT) but Frons nixed it?)

Alas, ABC wouldn't let SB leave GH. Whatev.

I don't think ABC will transfer TK and AM to OLTL. I think ABC's reasoning is that if they won't be around to benefit AMC, they won't waste money to keep them on a show that has trucked along fine without them. It's all about cutting costs, folks.

ALSO...this is expected but Bobbie Eakes confirms on her Facebook that she and her hubby are moving back to LA. She says that she is sad that many crew members will be out of work.

Is this for real? Why would ABC only want Sarah Brown on GH when she will end up playing the same Carly character when that character is already on the canvas? That makes little sense. I am already surprised that ABC took her back after her meltdown at the CBS chief. You would think that they would not want that kind of crazy in their house.

So Bobbie Eakes said that there will essentially be an entirely new crew in LA. So does the current crew not even have the option of going to LA in order to keep their job? I mean if one of the technical directors were to say "I'll move to LA and I'll pay my own way just to keep this job" he/she will be told to get stuffed?

    • 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!
