FV is a whiz at stretching a buck and producing a show on a budget, I just never saw him as any visionary.

I've seen no sign of FV's real creative vision for OLTL outside of all that singing crap which he gushes over in interviews. The himbos may be him or Frons. It's hard to tell.

The headwriters and Frons been in charge of OLTL's creative direction. Without Frons and ABC's horrible habits, it will be interesting if PP gets away from their big name obsession. Anyone can be recast except Erica, Luke and Laura IMO, and fans would adjust IF the story was good enough.

In terms of casting new roles, losing JBW probably isn't a big deal (assuming she is replaced by someone halfway competent). But losing the relationships she has with so many former AMC actors and actresses from the last 2 decades is a big deal. Especially when the show is likely going to need substantial re-population.

And she was one of the only, if not the only, longtime production people AMC had left. Julie Carruthers, Hope Harmel Smith, Nadine Aronson, and Enza Dolce all started in the 2000s. AMC has essentially lost all its pre- 2000 production people.

If PP wants some Power how about Bringing Genie Francis and Jackie Zeman over to the shows as their GH roles Laura and Bobbie. They could move to Llanview or PV to start the next chapter in their lives. Bobbie's son, Lucas can come too

Ha, I guess AMC gets a new Casting Director once every twenty years. Joan D'Incecco was replaced with JBW because the show wanted a fresh shot in the arm. I think Kelly Ripa was Joan's last big find. It will be very interesting if they hire primetime/film CDs who've never worked the grind of soaps. A Head CD's job won't be all that more difficult, and maybe PP will for budgetary reasons cut back on extras and U/5s so the associates will have a more primetime-like workload anyway.
