It's stupid and Susan Lucci and SMG weren't even in the same timezone to shoot their "scene". In fact I'd bet money that Freddie Prinze Jr. shot her scenes on an iPhone and sent them to Gellman via Dropbox.

Y'all - calm the hell down.  It was cute, simple and fun.  I personally found a lot of joy in at least something mainstream still talking about All My Children.  No other soap was featured on this show that featured a ton of past and present TV shows.  It wasn't advertised as this big hour-long, expensive reboot or reunion.  As a huge AMC fan, I thought it was fun to watch and made me nostalgic.  Why be so sour and mean?

It's just so odd when even people who were on soaps portray them as such a cheap parody - and it feels so dated, as soaps have no real relevance in current pop culture. It's like going back to 1991.

 

It doesn't help that when I clicked on I saw Mark Consuelos. There are few ways to get me to lose interest faster than seeing Mark Consuelos.

Y'all - call me when they decide to announce a legitimate, budgeted and passionate reboot or reunion of All My Children (or any soap opera for that matter).  Then I will judge with the rest of y'all, albeit a piece of me will still be happy as pie to see anything on TV today about AMC, in a reality where soap operas of the past will have zero relevancy in 15-20 years.

 

This is a Halloween special of Live with Kelly and Ryan.  There should be no expectations of anything beyond a cute little nod to a soap opera, which btw, had way more former stars of that soap than one should expect for a 5-minute gag.

If all they are gonna do is spoof it and highlight things that are used to vilify the genre no thanks. I cant fault Lucci she loves AMC & Daytime

Rippa and her hubby Im not so sure and I wish she would stop doing this with the AMC memory and this sint the first LIVE gas done an AMC skit and the last one was bad as well

I did not expect anything from this skit. I knew it would be dumb, not actually funny or clever. I knew it would mock and denigrate the soap, so I just don't see the point.

 

Yes, it was mildly touching to see some of AMC's former castmates together again, but I felt like a dog who had been thrown a plastic bone. In the end, I'm still hungry for what I want: the real AMC.

    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
