WTF!!!!!

EXCLUSIVE: Here is a great holiday gift for soap fans: I’ve learned that Prospect Park has revived its plan to continue cancelled ABC daytime dramas All My Children and One Life To Live online. I hear the company behind USA hit Royal Pains has inked deals with SAG-AFTRA and DGA for the soaps’ production, eyed to begin in the first quarter of 2013.

LOL he never occured to me when I typed "MM"

You could have been referring to him as well

Ron please, I just ate

Speaking of Hogan Sheffer, SoapSuds, i could see him being tapped to co-write AMC. Wasn't he interested in AMC at one point long ago? And I don't think he's doing anything now.

I shared the following in a PM with a fellow post-er who liked it; so, I thought, what the hey, I'll share with y'all as well.

* * * * *

As AMC 2.0 begins, we open on a scene not unlike the final scene of ABC's AMC. However, the Chandler mansion looks nothing like we remember (not even the L.A. version). Jackson looks nothing like Jackson (but, God willing, looks amazingly like Peter Bergman), Opal looks nothing like Opal, Brooke and Adam look nothing like...well, you get the idea. The only one who looks like herself, of course, is Erica. (God, I hope Lucci signs on. Otherwise, this scenario is useless.)

Just like before, Erica begs "Jack" not to leave her, "Jack" tells Erica he doesn't give a damn what she needs (then turns and starts to leave), Erica and "Opal" have that exchange, Erica says that infamous last line -- "Just watch me," or whatever it was -- and then starts after him when the shot rings out.

Of course, everyone in attendance panics at the sound of a gunshot. The shot hits Scott (er, "Scott") narrowly missing Erica and sending others scurrying to the ground. "Jack," however, turns back and rushes instinctively toward Erica before the second shot hits him in the back. "Jack" falls to the ground. Erica alternates between crying hysterically and begging "Jack" not to die and yelling for help.

There is a closeup on "Jack" as he looks as if he is about to say something. In a split second, however, the screen changes (probably, to "Royal Pains" or "Wilfred") as Erica, off-screen, protests.

In the next shot, Erica is at home with the real Jack, who has a remote control in hand and says, "Oh, come on, Erica, how many more times do you need to see what happens next?"

Erica: "But it's one of my best moments!"

Jack: "It's also one of the most false moments. I didn't ask you to forgive me for walking out on you."

Erica: "Sometimes, Jack, you can be so unsophisticated. Haven't you heard of a little thing called 'dramatic license'?"

Jack: "That would explain the blow-dried weatherman they hired to portray me."

As humorous as that exchange might be (to some...okay, to no one), in the next moment, the doorbell rings, Erica (or her maid...probably her maid) goes to answer the door, and it's Jack's physical therapist, who has arrived for his next appointment. Together, with Erica (or the maid), he helps Jack off the couch and into his wheelchair, thus revealing the ultimate outcome of Jack's injury.

Also says she wants Jerry Douglas for Victor SR

Well at least that would justify why I was so disturbed every time John said "My beauty."

Thank God I've sworn off chocolate, sexual and otherwise.

That's fun. I was wondering where you were going with it at first, a nightmare or what, but that's cool. So Erica does in fact make her movie (while Jack lays up in the hospital! ).

So Erica does in fact make her movie (while Jack lays up in the hospital! ).

Yes, and with Jack's blessing. Erica, wanting to stay at Jack's side at first and aid him in his recovery, felt she should pass on the project. However, Jack convinced Erica that she owed it to herself to see this dream through.

Unfortunately, "Valley Girl: The Erica Kane Story" flopped at the box office. But Erica didn't care. Jack needed her more. In turn, she and Jack co-authored a bestselling book about how his paralysis and ongoing recovery have reshaped their lives, the proceeds of which have been donated to charity.

This may sound gross but I wonder if the next "Social Issue" they could tackle should be Porn Addiction. I am serious. Maybe their issues stem from Jack become so "Into" porn that he can't "Get It Up" unless he watches porn. That actually happens. It could be a comical yet a serious story.

I am serious!!!!

I love the show-within-a-show idea. It would also be a great way to drive home to viewers just how much Jack has lost, in a way beyond having him just sitting in a wheelchair at the start.

I could see it even maturing Erica a bit, realizing there are things out there bigger and more important than her.

I agree with the assessment that Marlene McPherson's stories on Days were boring and usually never lead anywhere. And she even had a dead character (Alice Horton) behaving out of character. When she was fired, she claimed that the network interfered and wouldn't let her and Darrell Thomas tell their stories.

I know someone who know someone, etc, so take this for what you will. But the network and Corday did interfere with their stories, and when they tried to put veterans in the forefront - the ideas were never given the green light.
