Agnes said she wasn't going to wrap everything up in a neat little bow before PP was ever a factor. She wanted to give the feeling that life goes on. I suspect that even if everything had gone to plan there would still be people bitching about how the flash-forward showed that Character X or Y didn't get a happily ever after. Some people want their stuff to end like Grease while others are perfectly comfortable with West Side Story.

For all its flaws, I think Agnes and LB gave the show a fitting ending. It went out with its dignity and a lot of heart and soul. I'm not entertaining the bitching. As for Richard saying it was the worst finale ever, [!@#$%^&*] that noise.

The last scene had this odd ring to it, it was like the room was simultaneously charged while all of the air had been sucked out of it... it was exciting because I knew the show would live on, and perhaps now it'll forever be grouped with Soap and Capitol. I won't pretend like that wouldn't be disappointing, but again, I'll live. They did a good job considering what they thought the future held for the show.

I have to say, I continue to be very curious about TOLN's future, with or without AMC or One Life. I'm dying to see what's going to become of this thing.

I'd just like to know what else PP has planned. If they're only going with one soap what does that mean for the 12 other shows they supposedly had in development? What else are they working on? Are they really going to try and launch TOLN with one show? I still believe that if OLTL is successful, PP will revisit AMC and then they'll actually have something to offer the actors other than empty promises. But until PP takes care of its financial and union issues, I'm not expecting much.

I am officially over all of this and I am done. I loved AMC the 4 years I watched and I really wanted it to continue but I am wasting too much of my time worrying about a TV show and things I have no control over. I am going to stick with B&B and DAYS and when/if they go I guess I will be done with soaps.

- underscored by series legend Susan Lucci turning down an offer to stay with the series.

Was this ever confirmed??

AMC is dead in the water. Who is going to wait and see if it gets started....by who I am mean the actors. They are going to look for other work. Yes, they can recast but AMC is going to be a totally different animal. I wish they would just find someone to release some DVDs of AMC.

    • She absolutely needs to be on this show.
    • they need to bring her back for a role! I say expand Bill's family and have her play his meddling aunt that moves into his house with he and Hayley and goes head to head with Anita
    • I'll be brief with this response because it is veering into Classic thread territory, but I agree about the Taggert writing especially when the show revealed he worked with/was mentored by Deke and knew Sonny killed him.  It gave Taggert a bias that was unnecessary and made it seem like he was a poor judge of character, so the audience was already primed to dislike him even if Taggert was right. Plus, Garcia and Taggert were pretty obnoxious, especially early on lol.  
    • THE ROAD OF LIFE from 12-13-1984 to 7-1-1955. But this soap had been on radio & very popular from as far back as 1937. Then in 1954 P&G suggested to Irna Phillips that she develop this project for television & P&G would sponsor it. It may have been the beginnings of the sponsor-owned soaps.
    • SOD Where Are They Now? She left daytime more than 25 years ago, but GUIDING LIGHT fans have not forgotten Lynne Adams (ex-Leslie, GUIDING LIGHT, 1963-71; 1973-76; ex-Amy, SECRET STORM, 1971-72). She's one of Digest's most frequently requested "what ever happened to...." GL alums — a pleasant surprise to the actress. "I'm really flattered," she smiles, then admits that fans still occasionally recognize Leslie Jackson Bauer Norris Bauer. "It's amazing because I haven't done it for so many years." By Melissa Scardaville   The years that she did spend there were good ones. "My main memory is of all the women I knew on the show, like Charita [Bauer, ex-Bert], and Fran Myers [ex-Peggy] used to be a great friend of mine." Adams's main storyline — the tortured triangle of Mike/Leslie/Ed — was also a bright spot. "I really enjoyed doing it, until the character got married [to Mike] and she was happy." That, in turn, was the impetus for Adams to leave. "The character got boring, frankly," she shares. "It was very conservative and boring and happy. Not that happy is bad; happy is great, but it's not that great on a soap opera. You want to have some conflict and drama, and her biggest drama was that she was worried that her stepdaughter was going to get involved with some guy. It just wasn't interesting, so I left."   GL has ties to Adams's current project, Made-Up, a comedy about our culture of beauty that she wrote, starred in (with her sister, Brooke Adams, as well as brother-in-law Tony Shalhoub and Eva Amurri) and produced with Sister Films, a company she founded with Brooke. "The whole time I was on GUIDING LIGHT, I used to dye my hair because I went white when I was about 16," she shares. "After I had been off the soap for a while, I let my hair go, and it was shocking the difference in the way people treated me. You feel like you've disappeared and you're not a viable person somehow. Then, I would go to an audition wearing a wig, and suddenly it was a whole different story again."   That experience led her to write a one-woman show, Two-Faced, which she performed for nine years. Adams then embarked upon the arduous task of taking a version of the play to the screen — "One time, we had the $5 million in the bank and Kevin Kline couldn't do it and all the money fell apart." But, thanks to her husband, George Fifield, a media arts curator, she eventually got it shot on video as a mockumentary. "It's a movie that people who used to know me would love to see," she notes. To check if the film is coming to your area, log onto www.madeupthemovie.com. Adams also points out, "If you click 'Contact,' that [e-mail] comes to me, and I'll answer it."   Sure, her plate is full now, but would Adams ever return to soaps? "If you had asked me two years ago, I would have said yes. If you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have said no. Right now, I live in Boston, so that would make it kind of impossible," she chuckles. "But I loved doing soaps. It was a hard job, but it was really fun. I used to have some relationships with some of the people who watched the show who would write to me. I miss all that."
    • Thank you for this!  My guess is that they had actresses audition as backup in case Tunie said no. Debbi Morgan mentioned she was asked but turned them down and I imagine it was likely for Anita as well. I love that they sent her a letter acknowledging her advocacy.  I hope that down the line they consider her for another role. We need two Articulettes! 
    • Very interesting - thanks, @P.J. and @DeeVee!  This makes me want to go back in time and start my watch at '89. I think I'm going to power through just a little more of '96 right now just to see A-M/Lucy marry (so I can see their happy ending), how Phillip enters the picture, more of Alex vs. Amanda (because that's so funny/amusing to me), and what happens to Blake's twin babies (the only things really keeping me going right now).
    • Today marks the 139th anniversary of Emily Dickinson’s death. She died on May 15, 1886 at the age of 55. WalMart has said their prices are going up. As ideas go, I am againsr this one.
    • Just finished yesterday &  SEX Bill & Hayley & I'm looking around, waiting for them to be through, not into it. Dani & Andre
