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

[Khan]

I am so glad that Susan Bedsow Horgan and Thom Racina will be HW'ing OLTL 2.0 that I honestly have no "wish lists," per se, for the show. I just want PP to allow them enough space to do whatever they need to and do it to the best of their capabilities.

(I can't believe I've fallen down the rabbit hole again. Please save me, marceline!)

[Khan]

Why am I so gung-ho about OLTL 2.0 all of a sudden, you ask? Well. Two reasons: 1) no Frankie and Ronnie. (For right now, anyway. You never know what the future holds.) 2) Between SBH and Racina, you have two people who have some clue as to what good storytelling is supposed to be. You might classify Racina's work on DAYS and GH as campy, but at least his campiness was more genuinely entertaining; and his stories, for the most part, respected the audience for caring, for getting involved and being intelligent. Whatever happened in one of his stories, you could take seriously. There were no lame asides or in-jokes to make you feel as if everything unfolding was a complete and utter waste of time.

Whoa, what is this Adams Morgan show he created with SBH? I'm from D.C. so that really caught my eye.

[Khan]

IIRC, "Adams Morgan" was supposed to be a weekly, one-hour series centered around the young movers-and-shakers working in our nation's capital. Sort of a cross between "The West Wing" and "Melrose Place." At least, that was my impression. I could be wrong.

[SFK]

Cool. Adams Morgan, 13 Bourbon Street, these people are killing me with the what-ifs.

Adams Morgan has very large Latino and Ethiopian/Eritrean populations among others, I'd hope that the show would have included characters from these backgrounds as well. There's also a sizeable gay population though not as famously as Dupont Circle. D.C.-based shows that merely focus on young, white, non-natives trying to make it on the Hill is pretty played out, not at all creative or truly representative of the wealth of life in D.C.

I grew up in DC and didn't have the money to blow down there.

With getting Marlene McPherson as headwriter for AMC. And, someone good like Thom Racina for OLTL. I do say that OLTL is being favored. That's just my opinion though.

MarDar's DAYS was horrible.

[Mr. Vixen]

That ain't no rumor.

[~bl~]

No McPherson was part of MarDar and recently was writing Days.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Okay. I edited my post.

I am giving her a chance because it is no secrete Networks interfere.

[Mr. Vixen]

I had no idea.

[Cheap21]

Even Molly Burnett was bored as hell while taping Marlene's Days

[Eric83]

[Mr. Vixen]

What the hell was she doing?
