AMC: The Moving/Not Moving Thread

And even if AM decides to relocate or commute, they're going to have to use Kendall a lot less. A first time mother with a newborn does NOT need to be working 5 days a week, 10 hours a day away from her family. This, again, is just all my personal speculation, but it seems as if she worked it out to suit her just right. Not only did she get married last year, but she renegotiated and renewed her contract ensuring her job... two months after she comes back to work, she gets pregnant? To me, it looks like AM and her husband planned it. They got married, secured dual incomes and then got pregnant -- only to be thrown this loop. Not only that, but only given three weeks to think about it and come up with a decision. And for AM, she hasn't even given birth yet, so there's a whole REALM of variables that haven't even been dealt with.

While I still think it's ridiculous to think switching studios (face it, that's all this is -- coasts aside) is going to be THE ULTIMATE DEATH OF ALL MY CHILDREN -- I do think it was dirty pool of ABC to spring it on them and give them 3 weeks to make a permanent decision.

Lucci I can understand. But losing Zach and Kendall, ZOMG! This soap has suffered the loss of so many other more popular and tolerable "supercouples." An AMC without Kaye and Minshew is an AMC I could finally watch again (and I wouldn't have to look at a lame red wings jersey every other day, too!).

Leave the lame Prohibition gang on the East Coast!

AMC has no male actor talented enough to take Canary's place as the anti-hero protagonist. There was a time I thought that Jacob Young could be groomed into the new Chandler patriarch, not any more. Over the years, they have removed J.R.'s spine as he was forced worship at the altar of the Carey women. Zach and Ryan are jokes. Too bad they dumped Petey. He was clever and learning to scheme with Adam. I could see Petey as the next Courtlandt heir pitted against the Chandler heir.

If Minshew leaves the show, I might just start watching again. She is probably the #1 reason why I can't make it through an entire episode, so her departure would be the best news possible for me. And in a way it would be fitting that it would take the entire show running clear across a continent to escape the worst airhog slash supporting actress in the history of television.

From the Associated Press Article about Debbi Morgan:

That is, for some of the "All My Children" cast. Debbi Morgan, who has been with the show on and off since 1982, may not make the cross-country trip with her colleagues. Morgan was married just last June, and the couple is still discussing the possibility of pulling up stakes.

"We are going back to the kitchen table because I love, love, love my husband," Morgan said. "I love waking up with him every morning, and going to sleep with him every night. And I love my job."

Would she do a bicoastal commute, as Vanessa Williams did when "Ugly Betty" was filming in Los Angeles.

Pratt has been saying that he is going to give Angie her own big story but it sounds like he is totally BS-ing. He is giving very general statements like "It will have lots of twists and turns" that leave me unconvinced that he has actually developed a story. 50% of Debbi's work on AMC these days is playing Doctor #1 and the other 50% is playing a supporting role in a story centering on Denise Vasi. They certainly have not made it particularly tempting for her to go to LA, unless she needs the money.

    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.
