I actually like that idea. I generally try to stay away from fantasy casting but I really like that. I'm also still on board with whoever suggested Mark Lawson as nu-JR Chandler. I'd also like to re-state my vote for Daphne Duplaix as a Randi recast. I won't even attempt to think of a Frankie recast. Cornelius was perfect. Since we're losing the Hubbards, now might be a good time to bring back the Fryes. I believe Derek 1.0 is on the west coast. Although to be honest, I'm not expecting much in the way of diversity on AMC.com.

I can't see it

I absolutely love CSJ as Frankie but I have thought of some possible replacements before since I really would like to see the character on the show still (though it's unfortunately unlikely sad.png ) Pooch Hall is at the top of my list!! Also I think Tristan Wilds could make a good Frankie although he might be to young.

IA. I think part of the issue with shows like AMC and GH is the characters they have shoved on non stop for years with no break or balance with other stories. Its why Carly, Jason, and Sonny are such used up characters. Kendall, ZAch, Greenlee, Ryan could all use a break. The problem is when they are on so much you burn through too much story too quickly, AMC could easily survive without even Erica I think if you brought Brooke back, Jamie and rebuilt the MArtins and if they could recast JR with a strong actor and maybe bring Skye back. Although RC's acting is very rusty these days.

ITA but IMO everything we've seen and heard about PP tells me that they aren't interested in rebuilding, innovating or evolving these shows. They're all about the status quo and if the news from Deadline can be trusted - and I'm not sure it can - PP would rather flush away the money they've already spent on AMC rather than try something original.

I am not trying to dampen the AMC fever but honestly what have they spent on AMC? Sets? I have no idea what kind of investment that is at this point? They paid outright for the rights to AMC or is payment simply fees if they decide to move forward producing the show? If they plan on producing other shows sets can be reused. And status quo is disappointing. THis canvas needs a lot of work whether it gets great writing or not.

PP has paid Millions for the sets, wardrobe, Props and the Lisence rights of both AMC & OLTL and that aint cheap. They Offered Lucci her Current Contract Salary At ABC & has Offers out to other AMCers. They have signed 4 major OLTL stars and now its Rumored Melissa Archer and Jerry Ver Dorn. That right there says these are pros who have the money and intelligence to do this. Plus with knowing they never have Produced one let alone two daily dramas they hired Frank Valentini to continue as EP of OLTL But also as VP of Serialized Dramas at PP. Frank who has Kept His show the only show on ABC Daytime to continously come under budget is a great hire here since he knows how to produce and direct daytime drama. All This right here is why PP will be successful in this and both AMC & OLTL will live on for many years to come.

    • Ana Alicia was far more dynamic and charismatic than McGeehan or Vernon though. Some of it due to the writing of course, but not all of it.
    • It actually felt like TM-G was a bit softer in her scenes with nu-Ted that kind of matched his meeker energy as Ted on Friday. I was very curious how she’d play off him and now I have my answer.
    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
