JaneA, I disagree on AM, I thought she was a more layered Kendall than SMG (yeah, I said it again!) and played an awesome anti-heroine. I think it's the "supercouple" pairing that watered the character down as much as she's been since late 2007 not the writers going off AM's vibe. It happens with any character, male or female, when they get into a popular pairing that overtakes the character to a detriment. IMO, only Susan Lucci and David Canary in the canvas of AMC has been able to avoid the curse.

Agreed. Adam and Brooke, of course, also cannot be recast IMO.

We can agree to disagree I don;t like AM's Kendall at all and I can see why people hated SMG but she to me was like SArah Brown was as Carly the essense of the character was just lost once she left. People say Carly grew same as Kendall but I just thought both characters continued to get diluted with recasts.

Yeah I guess any long term vet shouldnt be recast. I didn't include Adam and Brooke because they aren't on the show now but IA.

Since ME is staying as John On OLTL and KB & CS return soon as Marcie & Michael, Do U think PP will want them and what about Tina and Cord. Both would be cool

Kathy Brier is pregnant so even if PP/OLTL wanted to bring her back there's her maternity leave to consider. Since the show has chosen to keep John McBain bringing Michael back into the fold would probably be a good idea. But...even though I'm not the intended audience and I have nothing against Chris Stack, I'm still Team Marston. It would be nice to see him return even if it means David Hayward resurrected Al Holden while working for Irene. (How's THAT for a crossover? )

OLTL is making Marcie Pregnant so they could here at PP after she gives birth

I would love to see Tina and Cord but to be honest I don't think they fit into the vision they have for OLTL anymore. They seem less focused on family these days and more on camp. And Marcie and Micheal don;t get me started with frons on that one.

I'm definitely wondering what effect FV being VP of PP Daytime will have on AMC considering the current state of OLTL. OLTL is not bad but it's not classic OLTL, it's a show that has a lot of young, half naked handsome people having naughty sex and fast-shooting, out of the headlines stories. That's extremely far from where AMC currently is and what it has been. But it sells.

True. I'm just wondering about the timing and how much KB would want to work. That's all.

I hate the thought of Valentini getting his sticky little paws on AMC. His involvement is the reason I've decided not to watch the new show when it launches. I prefer to remember Agnes Nixon's AMC. If, after a couple of months, the show manages to keep its heart and soul, I'll give 2.0 a shot. But I'm definitely not tuning in to Porn Valley.

The thing is people keep talking about FV as some great EP how do we know. Everything everyone has said about FV is that he is a money guy. I don't know if thats true. If hes like a traditional EP he has had creative input and direction and I don't like OLTL now or the campiness of what its become.I enjoy some things on there most things I don't. And I would have been more comfortable if PP would have looked outside of the current daytime landscape for someone new. But maybe he won't be providing creative direction and thats left to the HW's.

I think PP realizes they never did two soaps 52 weeks a year 5 days a week and were smart to hire FV. FV is also gonna EP OLTL so I bet He will just work with JHC to get her to get AMC Underbudget

Bad camp is OLTL's worst trait in recent years - especially since so much of it involves rape or rape fantasy. Drama is what they would be best at, if they really went in that area.

Tina will always fit into OLTL. So will Cord. The characters are timeless. It's the writing and lack of vision and daytime's lack of interest in decent leading men which hurts them. Cord was out of place when OLTL became more about rapists and con artists as leading men.

Its smart to have someone who has Produced and directed Daily Drama for the last 25 years and keeps his show underbudget to be VP of Serialized Drama, Then bringing in someone who has never done it before.

Yeah, Fusion is played out but the show needs another business to replace it. We need to keep the workplace/business angle and it looks like Chandler Enterprises is history. If SuLu signs on, I think she should get something generic like "Kane Ventures" where they could pull in Fusion, some Chandler stuff, Project Orpheus, etc.., That way we get to see the women at work without having to deal with the "Sex and the City" bullshit and it would be a great way to pull Colby and Petey back into the fold.

I would start using WRCW more often.

I Loved WRCW. Also OLTL needs to use its TV station more. Maybe someone could reboot Faternity Row?

Ed Scott is a respected EP, Wendy Riche also. We are not going to agree on FV so its probably pointless to keep discussing it. We can just agree to disagree.

I wish this new venture would let them go back to the midsized town format, where people go to the big cities for heavy business deals. Let people have small companies in Pine Valley, or WRCW, and then Enchantment or whatever could have a lot of New York focus. They could do probably do more location shooting if they're online.

Ed Scott is at B&B and Wendy has her own Film & TV production company. They R Busy

I'm wondering which stars actually cleaned out their dressing rooms and which ones did not. Unless everyone was told to do so, I think if actors left their belongings behind, they intend to take part in the online venture, if asked. For example, both Stephanie Gatschet and Denise Vasi cleaned out their dressing rooms

Happy "hump day"..... Sad day here as I'm about to go clean out my #AMC dressing room *sniffle sniffle*. What's everyone up to?
