I wonder what directors will move to LA or transfer to OLTL, and if Francesca James/Shelley Curtis will want to join full time now that AMC is in LA.

Wasn't there an interview about a year ago with Shelley Curtis where she basically put down soaps and said she was done with them for good?

Casey Childs runs "Primary Stages" in New York, so he probably won't go. Conal O'Brien looks to me like someone who does alot of Broadway stuff so he probably won't go.

Angela Tessinari is the only one I'd hate to lose.

Yes, Curtis said she's done with soaps for good.

Woah, AMC's going to HD too. Poor OLTL getting "left behind" and staying in SD.

I have a question. What's the big benefit of going Hi Def for a soap opera? GH is now being produce in Hi Def right? I don't watch it so I don't know if makes that big of a difference, but it seems odd that they're going to that expense while simultaneously changing the production model to include more of the location shots (which never look very good and can't see them improving in Hi Def). We've complained about the production quality being compromised for years, and I can't understand why bad lighting and poor set design and horrible wardrobe will be improved in HD.

HD? You mean the medium that cost GH millions and did nothing but bleed money and ratings? Is this anything like GL's equally "revolutionary new production model?" Yeah, I'm not too worried about OLTL not going HD.

OH yeah...I thnk so.

But hey, a job is a job, right and I believe she's still good friends with JHC.

I think Angela will move to LA. Jill Ackles will probably get a contract now. I could see Lisa De Cazotte maybe getting some of her PAssions directors now - like Karen Wilkens, Peter Brinckerhoff, Jim Sayegh.

I just recently got an HD tv and I don't think GH looks any better in HD than it did before.

AMC looks like crap in HD though

From ABC Spin...err...ABC News:

'All My Children,' 'One Life to Live' Moving to New Production Facilities

Soap Operas Make Moves but Will Still Air at Same Times

By SHEILA MARIKAR

Aug. 4, 2009

"All My Children" and "One Life to Live" are getting new homes -- but you can still catch them at their old times.

More PhotosABC Daytime announced today that it would move production of "All My Children" from New York to Los Angeles and that "One Life to Live" would move into "All My Children's" former New York space, giving both shows facility upgrades and streamlined production models.

"All My Children's" new facility is twice as large as its current one. It includes two stages, which will allow it to keep more standing sets. It will also allow the series to switch immediately from standard-definition to high-definition TV.

"One Life to Live" will enjoy similar upgrades when the show moves into "All My Children's" old home, which is 30 percent larger than "One Life to Live's" current space.

After the show relocates in December, "All My Children" will begin taping episodes in Los Angeles the week of Jan. 4, 2010, and will begin airing in HD in February. The move of "One Life To Live" to its new home takes place soon after "All My Children" relocates.

"All My Children is one of the most recognizable brands in television, and we are committed to continue telling and enhancing the stories of the residents of Pine Valley," said Brian Frons, president of the Daytime division of the Disney/ABC Television Group. "The move to Los Angeles enables both 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live' to dramatically improve the series production models and achieve significant efficiencies while enhancing each show. We had to examine every option on the table to combat the current economic realities, and rising costs of production, and we are doing it in a way that makes each of our shows stronger."

"I am so grateful for the wonderful commitment from ABC to 'All My Children,'" said Agnes Nixon, creator of both shows. "While I will miss being able to run over to the show ... it feels a little like I am sending one of my children off to be married. ... I am glad the network is making moves that will enable the team to continue telling stories about Pine Valley. ... There are many more secrets to be revealed."

"All My Children" has been on the air for 39 years,"One Life to Life" for 41, and both have enjoyed critical acclaim since their inception. "One Life to Live" was the most honored show at the 2008 Daytime Emmy Awards, with a total of 13 nominations that garnered six wins. "All My Children" earned 19 Daytime Emmy nominations.

Despite the changes in production location, "All My Children" will still air from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. ET every weekday on ABC, with "One Life to Live" following from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET.

I've seen a HUGE difference in GH in HD lately. The lighting is really cinematic now and the picture quality is exquisite, it's really starting to look aesthetically beautiful.

The colours really "pop" on the show in HD.

GH had looked so mundane and flat prior to the HD move, but I think it has settled pretty nicely in HD over the past few weeks.
