In some ways I do too but I think in some ways thats sort of a cheat. And does this definitely mean no Greenlee on AMC. Yeah!!!!

But...but...but...but only THREE people in the whole entire world like Rylee AT ALL, and their names are Brian, Cameron, and Rebecca! She's a LIAR!

I'm looking forward to seeing some of the actors who don't move on to AMC and OLTL 2.0 start telling the truth about life at ABC Daytime. Once the shows are over, I think we'll get a some hardcore interviews and I think she'll be one of them. I just hope that these people get interviewed by someone who isn't so interested in staying in PP's good graces that they do a spin job.

She's had pretty decent treatment over the years, especially if her biggest complaint has been her romantic pairings. I do hope some spill but I don't think she's going to be one of them.

If you and I knew each other in real life, I'd challenge you to a friendly wager.

Granted I've complained about where Maya fits in during these final months but I have to admit that I really like this actress. I think she's done great work in a lousy situation and she's certainly held her own with Debbie and Darnell. I think/hope that we're going to see more of her in the future.

I think shes incredibly lucky too. There are probably only 3 actors that would be career enhancing actors to work with on AMC. Debi is one, David Canary would have been, and Lucci another.

Still waiting for any AMC actor to tweet anything remotely positive about the final scripts...

VI was quoted in SID that he's happy with how David ends on ABC, so if he's happy, I'm happy!

Katie's new talk show will be called....

Thats cool. Did he sound like he's done with AMC?

I was hoping for Couric Events. I hope the logo is K8-T.

Don't take this the wrong way, but lately on the subject of Prospect Park, I am most intrigued by the soaps they were working on that didn't happen. Hopefully that's a, "Yet." I still think 5 days a week is unnecessary if not unfavorable. If one of the big so-called complaints about soaps is the commitment, why not do something about that? Lessen the commitment, up the quality of the investment. I also think the novella idea is a good one. If I may use my own obsessive compulsive new millenium brain as proof, TV fans like "seasons", they like being able to wrap their minds around a set number of episodes so they know that they've accolmplished something while being entertained in their busy lives. Getting through the five seasons of The Wire is more than just an indulgence but a badge of honor, a certificate of completion. I don't think a lot of today's fans like to feel that they've missed something good. If they can't have the full experience, they are less interested. Unless of course they are sheep who watch the shows they're *supposed* to. We want to attract new fans, we don't merely want to keep the ones we had, so there has to be some compromise in terms of appealing to both. We don't want those hours OLTL and AMC air on cable being little vacuums that appeal only to us.

BTW, I don't think a little stunt casting would hurt these shows at this new stage. I would hire a couple Teen Nick/Disney actors for my next teen scene characters and incorporate some standouts from popular primetime cable series into arcs when feasible. It's not the James Francos of the world who will bring fans to a soap, but the actors who are already appearing on soapy shows that are more likely to draw in the right people.

Ad for Katie.

Debuts September 6, 2012.

While the idea of making one's first name the title of a talk show was originally "cute," it has been so overdone by now that such a title is now suggestive of a dull and boring show.

One of the reasons why I remain pessimistic about AMC's and OLTL's chances on PP is because (I think) both soaps will have such a hard time overcoming their reputation of being failures (in recent years). Yet, there is a complete double standard over at ABC regarding how the soaps are treated versus how "Katie" is being promoted: while ABC has stated their soaps needed to go because they were failures, they are promoting the "Katie" show as something that will be hip and trendy (and ignoring the fact that Katie herself was a massive failure in recent times).

Both "Katie" and The Revolution seem like tired old concepts that have been tried before. The Chew, on the other hand, is something that looks unique to network television. Therefore, I will give that show a try. (I know some have stated The Chew doesn't belong on network television because we have The Food Network, but I view this type of logic as flawed because the same type of reasoning would lead one to claim that sporting events should no longer appear on broadcast television because we have ESPN.)

Edited August 23, 201114 yr by Max

To me The Chew seems very unsure of itself and is also very poorly promoted. These people have a lot of TV experience and yet they still look terrified in the ads. That doesn't suggest confidence in the product.

I don't think that AMC and OLTL have to overcome a rep of being failures. They have to overcome a rep of being irrelevant. That is what soaps became. There was never a huge adoration following by fast loathing of most soaps - it was a long, slow death. So that might mean a chance at some small success, in the right hands.
