AMC: SOW Preview From New Writers

[proteus]

New head writers Donna & David preview the show well into the summer:

-They say Alica Minshew will return as Kendall permanently at the end of the summer.

-Expect a recast Bianca. They want to rebuild the Kane women. Erica is getting cast a new man. The show is searching for an educated but rugged man for Erica. DK says they are looking at a lot of different people and the most important thing is finding someone who is up to the task.

-David & Donna's scripts won't start airing until the last week of May.

-A lot of stories will spring off from Palmer's will reading. The Chandler/Cortlandt rivalry will be revived. There will be several new character brought on connected to the Cortlandt family.

-Adam exits in May sweeps and that will have major repercussions. The whole Chandler family will be jockeying for positions. They will then be connected back to the Cortlandts, fighting over something very important.

-Jack will be fighting for a prize too, Erica. He believes they belong together and they find themselves back in an easy relationship before Erica even realizes what is happening. But there will be a twist when a new man comes into Erica's life that is the opposite of Jack and the opposite of anyone who Erica would think she would ever belong with. It will be a fun new story for Erica.

-Erica will be seen again in a romantic comedic story and feisty while going up against Greenlee. Greenlee and Erica's battle will last well into the summer. It has to be remembered that Greenlee is not just Greenlee. She is married to David. David and Greenlee together are going to really inadvertently sort of step on Erica.

-Annie is going to be bereft without Adam and the power he provided, and she is going to set her sights on JR and Scott. It will be fun to watch who, JR or Scott, will win Annie.. A fun surprise will be Marissa stepping up to the plate because she is David's daughter but she's been the meek wife in the background.

-Annie and Marissa aren't the only ladies who will be experiencing changes. Fusion will be revitalized in a fun Sex and the City kind of way, with all the girls hanging out and talking about boys as much as having heavy storyline.

-Madison will be played as the girl on canvas who is living paycheck to paycheck and who is struggling with the economy. They will be trying to make her a little more real and look at who she is. As Madison is taking her first baby steps, Ryan is the great person that will be there for her.

-Angie and Jesse will take center stage. Angie will get something dramatic to do and Brooke will be in the mix. Brooke will be a big catalyst for what happens to Adam in the next few weeks. She's connected to everyone and will always be a fabric on the show.

SOW says AMC sounds perfectly outfitted for summer.

[Adam]

Fusion revitalized in a Sex and the City kind of way?

Its 2003 all over again.

[Cheap21]

that all sounds good except for the Annie/JR/Marissa/Scott crap

[Eric83]

God why?!

Re-build the Kane women my ass. They just want to stick it to Eden Reigel for going to Y&R.

JR and Annie?

Ew.

Now THIS sounds good.

[Southofnowhere]

Did they mention if Bianca is being recast right now or what? Any timeline?

[Khan]

In other news, Tom Pelphrey has been cast as the new Ryan Lavery; Cam Mathison will be recast as Palmer Cortlandt, Jr.; and starting September 1st, AMC will be renamed THE P.V.

[LoyaltoAMC]

The Cortlandt/Chandler rivalry stuff, including some new Cortlandts, sounds really good, as does the Jesse/Angie/Brooke prominence. Just hope the writing can live up to the hype. The Fusion as SATC crap...WTF? They're still trying to beat that dead horse that was DOA. That really needs to end. Any guesses which ex-GL/ATWT actors will be Erica's new love interest? Robert Newman seems most likely if they were to choose from that pool of actors, but would he want to relocate?

[Cheap21]

it sucks that AMC finally does a Cortlandt vs Chandler story after Adam and Palmer a gone. For the Cortlandts, I hope Bobby and Sam return

[LoyaltoAMC]

I hope they remember too that JR (or whatever the hell he's calling himself these days) is part Cortlandt. When is Bobbie Eakes' contract up? Krystal just seems totally irrelevant. They don't seem to have anything on the horizon for her, and she must cost a pretty penny.

I had the same thought

I had the same thought.

[MichaelGL]

This new guy = Jeffrey O'Neil

D&D are just itching to bring on Bradley Cole and pair him up with Susan Lucci's character.

[detroitpiston]

I'm not liking the sound of any of this. Hopefully it'll play better onscreen.

[LoyaltoAMC]

Although if he shares most of his scenes with Lucci, maybe he can get the same deal she has. What is it, again? One week in LA to shoot a month's worth of scenes, the other three weeks back in NYC?

[Jonathan]

I think it's 1-2.

I'm really hoping that they screen test a bunch of guys, not just ones who have daytime experience.

[LoyaltoAMC]

I hear that William Russ is available.
