So true--the park is gorgeous (and compared to that UGLY weird park space they use on OLTL it stands out all the more), but it's too much. I mean, are any of us fooled that the building site for Scott's carriage house isn't simply some wood piled against a tree in that park? :P That said, recently they've gotten sligthly better at using different outdoor locations (and at least not always using the SAME area of that park...)

Ironic when you then watch General HOSPITAL.

It's not QUITE as bad as it was a year or two ago--actually in New York as well--when I actually started feeling clausterphobic with the constant daily hospital. Now I'd say the show is equally based around restaurants--there seem to be many episodes where characters go back and forth between conFUSION and Krystal's, scene to scene. And maybe throw in the yacht club restaurant. I know Agnes Nixon has said that to make soaps work you do things like use hospitals as a sort of town center, restaurants far more than real people would, etc, but...

Gee ABC you'd have money if you got rid of the pointless dead weight :nbe:

Remember that two-hour finale for All My Children I told you would be happening? Well it looks like it's being scrapped, now that AMC is set to continue online, courtesy of new production company Prospect Park. According to sources, AMC will now only be getting a normal one-hour finale on ABC Daytime.

In other news, I'm hearing what was planned to be lengthier story arcs featuring such fan faves as Adam Chandler (David Canary) and Brooke English (Julia Barr) had to be shortened due to budgetary constraints.

"Agnes[Nixon] and Lorraine [Broderick] wanted Adam and Brooke for three weeks, but it ends up being only a handful of episodes, because of the budget," says a source.

All My Children's star-studded network television finale airs Sept. 23. Prospect Park has stated they plan to launch an online continuation of the serial just three days later on Sept. 26.

First of all, Prospect Park doesn't need to chase down most of AMC and OLTL stars and production crew...they will be completely out of work if they don't want to move to the online show. Ask some of the GL/ATWT actors and writers...Jill Hurst, co-head of GL, took an office job when money ran out. Now she's working on Venice. Most creative artists are poor and starving and out of work. Most of these daytime people would jump at the chance to be online, if only for the exposure. They are not going to get hired on other daytime shows for the most part. The writers have even less opportunity.

Seconly, would all you naysayers just go slit your wrists somewhere else. The viewing formats are changing...we are in a media revolution right now...big transitions. This move is good news all the way around as it's the beginning of the transition of serial storytelling online in a big way, not 10 minute shows like Venice or Gotham, bless their hearts but I'm not going to be loyal to a 10 minute program. I'm much more likely to tune in to a Broderick written show to see what she does with a different production company as the boss...Soaps were a lot of fun in the 70s and 80s and they can be again, especially if we get to see some of these hot actors in the buff:)

We don't know that they ARE expecting this to be on the air by 9/26. That was one of the things Logan said he heard. Just like he "heard" that Susan Lucci had signed on. There's been no confirmation that they expect to launch in Sept.
