JL hasnt done PT regurally since the late 90's

Jamie Luner could probably carry on a somewhat decent guest-starring, TV Movie run if she wanted to end her run on soaps. But, yeah, her last good run as a series regular was from 1996 to 2000 with Melrose Place, Savannah and The Profiler. She also appeared on 10-8: Officers on Duty in 2003-2004. Before that was the successful comedy run with Just the Ten of Us and some Growing Pains in the mid to late 80s.

I know she's done at least 3 or 4 Lifetime movies and a slew of PT guest appearences and I am trying to remember the NBC show. She took over as the lead for one season and it was tied to Michael Weiss's show.

The Profiler. She replaced Ally Walker.

HOnestly I would not be shocked to see her not stay. I think she only came to AMC because of Pratt but if they are tryng to sell this show to a cable channel she is recognizable probably moreso than a lot of the cast because she's done things like Melrose Place and several Lifetime movies.

I suspect she came on due to Pratt too, but from all reports (not that we heard much from her) she grew to really like the work and cast. So who knows....

SHe was on Just the Ten of Us? (I assume her Growing Pains gig was cuz 10 was a spin off). I'm shocked--to be honest I never really knew her pre AMC, I had basically lost interest in Melrose by the time she joined.

Feeling a lot more confident that the show is going to be fine with Darnell Williams signing! I was worried for a long time there hat there were no more after the first two.

As am I--even just one name makes me feel that the rumours that they'd basically dropped any progress with AMC were exagerated.

Yeah, she was Cindy Lubbock for the full 2-3 season run.

ETA:

Personally I'd rather see Jessie over Ryan on AMC anyday even if its without Angie.

Oh absolutely, and despite not being a fan of Jesse in cop mode (I am otherwise), he does have important ties tot he history of the show and is a good addition I think.

Wow I haven't seen the show since it first aired (I always forget you can usually find this stuff on youtube) and don't remember her. Considering she was a teen there, she already is very much the same as she is now. All I remember about the daughters was it was one of the few non Elm Street major roles for Heather Langencamp. I don't remember them havign a girl group--I hope they never tried to actually sell any spin off singles from it cuz... they're not great.

Oh, I totally see her bolting. I'd be shocked if she stayed. She's a great actress and she turned a lot of crap into gold.

Part of good marketing is not only releasing information but managing and controlling the release of it.

I am not going to justify how I feel and how unprofessional I think some of this is. I am happy about Darnell but not how they dealt with Lucci thats for sure.

Honestly, I don't expect PP to issue a press release for every hire.

My complaint with PP remains how they did NOT market TOLN during AMC's finale week. They missed a huge marketing opening by not just hiring Lucci to do a 30 second commercial to check their website for updates!

I feel PP has done nothing to market this move. Maybe they need it all locked down with unions before making it official. But so far their lack of PR is very lacking.

I've credited a lot of the silence from PP to the fact that the plans got out by the NY Post all those ages ago. I don't think they have an operational PR/Marketing arm for TOLN. They're still building up the infrastructure and finance of this venture, I suspect the PR contingent is non-existent.

Lets not pretend like Budig has done anything worth a damn outside of daytime.

As for who the actress is that SOD is talking about, my money is on Denise Vasi who's in 2 upcoming movies, 1 of them directed by Stephen Soderbergh starring Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey. Sure it's not a Cheri Oteri movie but Denise seems to be doing alright post AMC.

LOL Well Marls ....I didn't say what she did was "worth a damn" whether you like it or not & whether you think it's respectable ...is up to you, thus subjective.

I simply stated she has in fact done OTHER things where as Minshew really has not. As pointed out Minshew has been been on boxes of hair color and Tampax ads. Budig has been in some of today's most popular PT TV series ....CSI...Castle....HIMYM.....just to name a few. She also has appeared in TV movies and reality TV. Minshew has done......what???........ please enlighten me.

Also I'm very happy for DV.....I've always been a fan but again as pointed out to you DV can't really be considered as one of AMC's leading ladies. And I'm glad she doing alright ....not sure why you stated that as if I down played her or said she wasn't.

That quote reminded me that despite disagreeing with Marley about Vasi and the blind item, I did want to second her response to the Budig part, lol.

RB was in Please Give....starring Catherine Keener, Amanda Peet, Rebecca Hall, Oliver Platt ....it was in fact critically acclaimed, nominated for several awards, including a WGA and did in fact win the prestigious Robert Altman award....among it's other wins.

So SURRRRE it's not a Channing Tatum & Matthew McConaheyheyhey movie BUT in fact......award wining and critically acclaimed!

I have some old AMC episodes from the late 90s and in several of them AM is there doing Tampax commercials. (not that I have a problem with that--people have to start somewhere, but it did make me laugh reading your post).

Thank YOU!

*******

Also Marls .....Just to be clear I'm not knocking the Channing & Matt movie ......Soderbergh has produced some of my favorite movies & documentaries ....not a GIANT fan of his directing but I do respect his work...so I'm truly happy for Denise V. I honestly hope she hits it big!!!

I just wanted to point out that for a SOAP actress ...Budig has in fact done a lot of work outside of Daytime. Quite a bit compared to other soap actors ......I mean your man JY ...whom I also love ....has done WHAT? outside of daytime??? ANYTHING?

This is so childish but I'll bite. Without going to IMDB and naming every single little insignificant guest appearance, JY has been on Broadway and had a pretty big part in "The girl next door" (a movie I surprisingly love and not because JY is in it).

Broadway + motion picture > dead stripper on CSI + skank nr. 87 on HIMYM.

ETA: and Jacob did those jobs WHILE he was still on a soap. He didn't quit his day job 5 times to "try different things" or "move on" and then come crawling back when that didn't pan out.

What did he play on Broadway? (I'm honestly curious and not trying to be catty--I know he has singing chops, though his pop album didn't really appeal to me). I had no idea he was in the Girl Next Door, and I think I even saw that (it's the weird teen falls for a ex porn star neighbour flick right?)
