HOLIDAY MIRACLE: Prospect Park Back On Track To Revive AMC and OLTL

[Soapsuds]

Bwhahahahahahaha

If MMP and DRT had been allowed to devote more time to showing Jack and Bo & Hope's respective therapy sessions with Marlena it would have done nothing to change the fact that the show was b-o-r-i-n-g.

I keep remembering more and more of their awfulness. Like when they devoted an entire episode (might even have been more than one episode?) to the "climax" (and I use the term loosely) to their lame online gambling "story" (and I use the term loosely). Quinn and that stupid martial arts spa. Carrie and Rafe's riveting search for a missing cat. God it was awful.

[dragonflies]

What about what they did to Alice Horton all that crap for nothing.

[jam6242]

Don't forget Rafe and Carrie spending what seemed like almost an entire episode rubbing ice cubes over themselves! Not to mention eggbaby.

Anyway - these are ideas I had for an AMC story last year. I never did write it up. It's a lot of crap but some you may enjoy or see as workable. I'll put it in spoiler space so it won't clog up the thread.

[Cheap21]

lol and the next writers ignored it by saying J/M and B/H are married without ever acknowledging that retcon plot

[allmc2008]

In my fantasy world Peter Bergmen leaves Y&R and joins AMC 2.0 (Once AMC 2.0 is up and running) and reunites with Nina. That would certainly boost the ratings!

[SFK]

Me too! In either case, I would enjoy hearing Shane or Erica Kane dub their respective Jacks "Jack-off".

[SFK]

Carl, this is great stuff. I could picture much of it, namely the confrontation between Dixie and Opal. Is there more to the person saying Skye and Will look exactly the same? I thought you were about to reveal another long lost character.

[Mr. Vixen]

The porn story?

The fellow writing the OLTL book is teasing that a "biggie" is close to finalizing a deal.

I hadn't thought of that. That could work, especially since that era (89-91) had so many come and go.

I also had a little more with the Hubbards - I would have Frankie become depressed after being shot and breaking up with Randi (who wasn't actually pregnant). He focuses a lot of his pain on a city councilman he sees as lazy and corrupt and out of touch. Angie knew the man well when she was a young woman and this causes some conflict between mother and son. The man dies, and Frankie runs for the seat. Someone who doesn't want him on the council airs his past mistakes and he reluctantly drops out. Angie decides to run in his place, and wins.

I just saw that. I hope it is true.

And regardless of who else jumps on board new boot, I hope Erika does....It is just wouldn't be OLTL with her.

Here is that conversation....

  Llanview in the Afternoon: An Oral History of 'One Life to Live' And apparently in the right way, too -- it sounds like the smaller budgets will force a sharper focus on character-driven stories rather than explosions and "events." I guess they're also planning on building regular hiatuses into the schedule, which should do a lot to improve the writing.

Boost ratings? No offense, but I doubt they'd cause a spark.
