Maybe they could get SMG back in the role of Kendall. After all, isn't she and Freddie based in 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).

If AM won't go to LA, recast Kendall with Sarah Brown. SB's been a dud on GH but that's really the writing. Kendall is the kind of character that's right up her alley.

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.

De-lurking to ask if I am the only one who smells at least a consultanting producer gig for Guza?

No... because he's been consulting producer since before he started writing last year.

Guza, not Pratt.

Oh. But why?

Wouldn't that also mean a consulting gig for Pratt on GH? The principle of reciprocity, you know.

Or better, Guza & Pratt head-write both shows!

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.

Oh. But why?

I have no clue, but the very thought has me reaching for the poisoned pancakes.

Meltdown at the CBS chief?

Sarah only wanted a six month role while her boyfriend at the time was in NY for a movie. Frons didn't want her unless she was willing to do long-term.

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?

She had a short-term role on Cold Case and when it ended she lost her mind and said it was supposed to be main role and that the Head of CBS was behind getting rid of her.

Don't think she got any Primetime roles after that?

I guess they could but they'd have to join a different union. I'm not entirely sure.
