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.

Wow that's just cruel. JHC needs to be replaced like yesterday.

JHC will probably be in for a rude awakening with the budget come the transition. I can't imagine PP messing around considering how expensive soaps are.

And I'm hoping the reason things are so quiet is that PP is taking this seriously and not just rushing a product on the air.

Nothing new LOL

AMCStephanie Stephanie Gatschet Been asked a lot by #AMC fans about Prospect Park... Just don't know what to tell u guys cuz we haven't been approached yet or given details

AMCStephanie Stephanie Gatschet If I find out anything official, you know I'll share

Wow they are all still in the dark

It's just like any other business. The employees are the last to know. These actors are low on the totem pole.

Wasn't the JHC going to the websoap item in the article that has been debunked? I'm still hoping they won't be involving her.

If they still haven't approached the actors with the idea. There's no way this is going to be online by Sept. 26. Or, they're going to continue it with none of the same actors. In that case. They might as well not continue it at all. But, I don't see that happening.

This.

Pigs will fly or it'll be a cold day in Hell if it is.

I agree I just don't see how they can get all this done in close to two months, especially when the actor's contracts aren't up till the end of August, and having scripts written and whatnot. They can't even be sure they'll have the funding by then.

If they do, it's going to be majorly rushed

Is there any reason to believe anything said in that Logan article? For me as soon as it said Susan Lucci was already signed up, I checked out.

Let's examine. If you strike out the parts that are simply conjecture, guessing and gossip, it renders the article useless.

Can Prospect Park, the company taking ABC's All My Children and One Life to Live to the internet, possibly be ready to make the move with AMC as soon as September? Hard to believe, but that's what TV Guide Magazine is hearing.

Word is, the production company intends to waste no time — or lose any momentum — and will launch the reimagined AMC on Monday, September 26, just three days after the soap ends its network run. There's also highly reliable buzz — unconfirmed by Prospect Park — that Susan Lucci has agreed to move on with the show, though to what extent she'll participate or for how long isn't clear. Most (if not all) of the soap's other top stars have yet to enter negotiations.

We also hear Prospect Park plans to retain current head writer Lorraine Broderick and executive producer Julie Carruthers. But are there major rewrites in the works for the ABC finale? Broderick, working in tandem with AMC's legendary creator Agnes Nixon, had planned to tie up most of the major storylines with nice tidy bows. Now such a finale is problematic, since creating a few cliffhangers would encourage viewers to check out the internet version.

One more thing: There are also some hard-to-believe whispers going around that Sarah Michelle Gellar has agreed to return to AMC for a farewell appearance before the show leaves ABC — a nifty trick since the character she once played, Erica's daughter Kendall, now belongs (lock, stock and Emmy noms) to Alicia Minshew. But, hey, if this is true we trust the brilliant Broderick and Nixon to somehow make it work— they're bringing back Josh Duhamel as the dead Leo du Pres in a way that's ingenious!
