I think Debbi was living in LA before she came back to AMC.

I think Darnell will move easily.

I think AM will move.

Doesn't AM's husband own a business in NYC? I'm sure there are many considerations for the actors. The people I feel sorry for are the crew. I doubt many of them are even afforded the opportunity to go to LA with the show.

Agreed. IMO, this is pretty much the equivalent of a factory closing and moving overseas.

C'mon. They're moving to LA, not being outsourced to Bollywood. Though it will be interesting to see if ABC allows GH to accomodate Steve Burton's desire to commute from Nashville and not any AMCers from New York.

If they're actually doing it to keep the show alive, and not to spite the actors into leaving, then they will probably bend over backwards to be accomodating. If they want them to quit anyway they'll tell them to sit and spin, our way our the highway. We tell you when you f*cking be there and that's the long and the short of it. Comply and you have a job.

I'd say though if I was moving and everything I'd want a tight contract for at least a few years, it better be worth my while and none of this we can still kick your ass out every 13 weeks, a real honest to god 3+ year contract. If I was going to the trouble, I'd want assurances.

The melodrama of it all.

Denise Vasi: AM SURE U GUYS HEARD...ABC has decided to move "All My Children" to LA.... CRITICAL THINKING!!!

Please, Denise, let it involve you realizing you can't act to save your life and rid us all of your inexplicable abundance of screen time. (crossing fingers!!!)

^^ LOL. BTW, can somebody translate for me what Vasi meant by "CRITICAL THINKING!!!" ? Is she pissed? Psyched? Trying to look on the bright side?

I bet ABC will buy a house in LA close to the studio for the cast to stay when they're commuting, outfit it with hidden cameras and do an AMC BIG BROTHER REMIX

Bahahaha

Denise does a lot of modeling in NYC and has grown up in the area so I think she means she has to weigh out moving with a consistant job or remaining with the field she first started in.

Whatever Susan decides,it will be workable.

She'll either move(or commute)and stay on,go recurring(it will be dressed up as special appearances)or quit-in which case the show will get lo's of publicity as a soap icon retires,

I think she'll stay. But I'm worried though what they will do once her contract runs out. Based on older news articles that I've read, it seems that her contract expires around the Fall. I remember when they went on location to Budapest in the Fall and they had just re-signed her then. But of course that was years and years ago and her cycle may have changed.

I remember way back when there were rumors she was working without a contract for a while as well.

I'm referring to the crew. The reason they're moving is to do away with that expensive union labor correct?

Speaking of the crew, A NY1 news video report concerning the move.

I think she will stay. She is definitely the most associated person with daytime and I cant see her leaving the show she has called home for almost 40 years (40 years January 5th). ABC has recently send her as one of their reps for Daytime gives back, to Africa, a few weeks ago and filmed some stuff for the show while there, so it looks like they are still invested in Susan.

Hell no to Pratt being headwriter & EP. I don't want Lisa de Cazotte either, the production values for Night Shift 2 were awful IMO.

Amen!

I think they're invested in her too. If she leaves, I want her to leave on her own terms, not because she was pushed out. As DaytimeFan once pointed out, she's made ABC a ton of money over the years so I hope they treat her with respect.

The mainstream media is reporting this move to LA and all are assuming that Susan is going to make the move. It's us niche fans who are questioning the revolving door.

She made a lot of money for CapCities when they owned ABC. Not so much for Disney.
