AMC - The Homegoing Celebration


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I've been (half)jokingly saying that I wanted to plan a goodbye party for All My Children. Not some mournful sad protest but a full on Irish wake/New Orleans jazz funeral/celebration of life/old style homegoing. Then I saw this tweet from RPG:

This is what I'm talking about! Let's say goodbye to Pine Valley in a way that would make Agnes Nixon proud! Share your ideas here!

That's fine with me! :D As much as I love AMC, I think it would be truest to the spirit of the show and Agnes Nixon if we used the farewell activities to raise funds for charities TBD.

I think it would be great to have various levels of a goodbye blast. Everything from a big party at $10 a pop to an exclusive luncheon for 25, 50, 100 donors. Depending on how many actors could/would be able to donate their time.

I'd want there to be a room where there was a couple of video screens set up playing classic scenes. There should also be drink specials named after various Pine Valley locations. The Goalpost, The Glamorama, The Boutique, The Boarding House, The Unabortion(I don't know what the ingredients would be but it should be red. LOL!)

I also think there should be an AMC trivia contest and an auction. Imagine bidding on a chance to pose for a picture with Cliff and Nina or Jenny and Greg or Susan Lucci and Oprah!

That depends on how drunk you want to get! LOL!

"Oura gues' speaka iz gon' be Sista Rosemurry Prinz from the Oakdilll Baptis' Chutch."

No, for real. All of the food can be AMC-related dishes. Anything that can be connected to AMC. Kate's banana bread, Tad and Dixie's chicken fingers, Krystal's awful chicken parm, Dixie's poisoned pancakes (eat at your own risk!!), Gabriel and Bianca's pâté that looks like dog food, Erica cranberry juice with booze of your choice, Kendall's weird drinks with wheat germ, Verla's Swedish meatballs, etc.

Bah, I'ma miss this stuff. :( And the French aren't going to understand why I want to rent a TV, and try and get some AMC so I can cry at the final episode. BAH! One you best turn a webcam if there is a shindig of some kind.

I will be going to Nexus, where all the movers and shakers go. There will be a party hosted by Juanita Ramsey, a noted introvert who will finally show her face to host the big shindig. Food on the menu will of course be Purdified Chicken, and noted piano player Mark Dalton will be playing music all night long. Carol Burnett will sing standards.

Get crunk on The Bonkers (have you feelin' like a pampered !@#$%^&*] with a smushed in face *POW!*) then recover in the a.m. with a Hair of The Harold... we could have it at Prohibition. ;)

I think you have a really nice idea here. I'm just scared of crazy people. :ph34r:

*takes SFK's hand* Honey, look at what you've posted here. You ARE the crazy people. LOL!

In my perfect world, there's a cast and crew reunion dinner the day before the Homegoing. Something low key and private where they don't have to be "on."

Would you guys want a show? Like a toned down Broadway Cares? A chance for our actors to show their chops. Or would it be better to make this a thing where they sit back and the fans do something for them.

The important thing is to not focus on ABC, Frons, Jamey, Nelson, Hinsey, Sweeney or any of the other haters. It's to celebrate Agnes's vision and how much of it managed to survive in spite of lesser writers.

I guess we need to find a venue able to hold the guests. Too bad Blondies isn't open anymore (#notintendedtobeafactualstatument.) IMO this is the kind of event that should end with a nice big campfire in a park or down by the Pennsylvania Ocean

Remember when GUIDING LIGHT had their grand "So Long, Springfield!" boat cruise? AMC's actors should do something similar: hit up colleges throughout the country, and thank "the kids" who were a huge part of their audience for so long.

I would vote NO on any type of full on performance short of the venue offering karaoke to those interested. I'll just do my All My Children impressions. :P

An evening cruise could be nice and the mere mention of that Khan has me picturing marceline in one of those beaded flapper hats like Erica and Carl coked out of his mind like Kim Delaney.

Prayer breakfast?

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story.
    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
    • In fiction there has become an expectation by some that every Black character should represent excellence and perfection. It's not like we are talking about a Tyler Perry show where none of the characters are happy and everyone hates each other with a passion.
    • And on rewatch, I could've done without the unsubtle praising Matt like he was the only one who ever accepted Van as she was...but TPTB and their agendas.  It was totally in character for Vanessa to shut down emotionally until she was alone. While she could be volatile, both she and Henry believed in keeping emotions private.  Thank God it's still Bryan Buffinton in the role for both Henry's and HB's funerals. It just wouldn't have been the same with Ryan Brown, who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Roll My Eyes.
