I agree obviously Cam was joking...but still the press release went on about the great sets and I just think its sad that when a show like AMC goes all out it amounts to the type of set that is typical on GH. Why is it so much more expensive for the east coast shows to be produced?

I really hope Cady was kidding...first, she would not have given the reason Dixie was gone right? And this is too stupid. Too stupid for McT? There is no such thing. But I still think she was joking.

East Coast soaps are more expensive? Considering that the east coast soaps have traveled to Florida, in and around NYC in the past couple of years and GH has managed to get outside to the parking lot (ONCE)....I would like to think that east coast soaps have a tad bit more money.

Also, I don't think GH has anywhere near as much grand ballrooms or whatever. They show the hospital, the docks and Sonny's home...that's it. If you're lucky, you get the Q mansion.

I think Cady was joking about the flash forzen thing, just the tone in her voice. They would not reveal why she was gone on an entertainment show anyway..... the soaps have big enough problems trying to get people to tune in as it is.

Sure, AMC has spent a lot more money on location shooting in recent years than most West Coast soaps but shooting on the East Coast is a lot more expensive than the West Coast, in all areas. Realty is much more expensive, and shipping and constructing sets in a studio in crowded Manhattan is a lot harder than doing so in the suburbs of L.A.

One thing about Cady that's interesting to note -- She said "co--" but quickly corrected herself and said, "Uh, car accident." Seems like she was about to say coma. But she was laughing and smiling throughout the whole thing so I don't know if we can take anything she said as serious scoops.

A coma would then be realistic..... I think maybe she was in a coma but not for the full time, she recovered and was a changed woman.... obviously in the little we did see of Dixie at Christmas time, she isn't the same Dixie we knew back in 2002.

Okay first of all why would erica invite kwak, amanduh and babe to her ball? Babe and kwak stole her granddaughter and erica blames amanduh for drugging her next week, so this makes no sense to me. As for the dresses I love kendall, erica, dani, and simone's dresses. Anita, kwak, babe, di, and lily have the worst dresses. Janet reminds me of the fairy godmother from Shrek 2, opals dress is eccentric but the hair is a no-no, why do they have brooke all covered up???, I hate the feathers on julia's dress, why does di dress look like they killed a reptile???lol An out of the men david looks the best, and jack looks the worst, and I'm not being biased, I just hate white tuxedos.

    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
