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

  • Member

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.

Yeah that was Patrick. And frankly it sounded kinda dumb--I dunno, if I was a script writer, I would expect the HW to change and correct my script (i'm sure all too often they don't).

I don't take issue with her doing it, I just imagined lots of angry exclamation marks and >:-(!!! faces in red ink like my French teacher used to make on my homework.

Why did he crash the party again? I completely forgot about that--or Carlivati's ANNOYING jokey titles for every episode they tried for a while ("Incest is best"! Really??? Great title for a show that has dealt with incest...)

I dont recall why he crashed it but man did I hate those opening titles .....lol....I am glad they got rid of them.

  • Member

Wow, I see what he was going for, but yeah, "Incest is Best" is a pretty darn awful and disrespectful joke to make in the context of this show.

You also find Kristen Alderson attractive so I'd expect no less. laugh.png

OUCH. :lol:

I wouldn't go THAT far. I just don't think she's straight up ugly you do. Big difference. ;)

  • Member

Well you said early teens....So I wasn't sure if you were "out"! So you've never had sex with a girl? PM ME!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SOMETIMES.

This thread has officially made me even more confused about the gender and sexuality of various posters on here I assumed were what they apparently aren't. (And Ron, trust me, you're not missing out on much by never having slept with a girl...)

To clarify, lol, I'm straight but if I find a man attractive I'm comfortable enough to admit that I think they're hot LOL and yes he is!

Okay, I just caught up with this thread, and now that I have I will try to lead back to sanity and back on topic:

Who do guys think will sign on to AMC and/or OLTL next? I feel we should have a bet going or something.

OUCH. laugh.png

I'm pretty sure you're expecting her to be the cover girl for People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful list tongue.pngtongue.pngtongue.pngtongue.pngtongue.png

Then what do you consider her publicly rationalizing (I won't say "justifying" because I'm sure even SHE felt wronged by it) the Unabortion? That's my main issue. A woman who'd rather toe company line than speak up for a truly monumental story she DARED to create during a time it was hardly acceptable, doesn't seem to be the type of woman who'll STAND UP AND PREACH to the newcomers about what Soap Opera is supposed to be. I've never lost sight of Agnes' history. She's a woman who caves under a domineering presence. Let's not be fooled. She created All My Children, wrote the bible for it and presented it to P&G and they rejected it. After OLTL, ABC wanted her to write another one and she's gone on record several times deferring to her husband before presenting ABC with AMC. "Oh, do you really think it's good?" All I'm saying is that this woman has shown that she will submit her will to the dominant opinion of whatever the situation is. It happened after Pratt "met" with Agnes as well. He "met" with her, used that as the cliched line of approval to appease the press... and then had her banned from any further consultation. "We" didn't even find out about this until AMC's cancellation.

I said all that, to say this... Agnes will be Agnes. She'll possibly offer her suggestions and thoughts, but if the dominant opinion differs, I don't doubt for a second that she'll back down. This is where I see her failing to pick up the Irna Phillips torch that so many claim was passed down to her. The woman is too complacent. That's why McTavish was able to turn All My Children into Purgatory. That's why Pratt was able to turn All My Children into Melrose Place.

Believe me, I respect Nixon for creating and steering the AMC ship for 20 years. AMC is MY SHOW and there would be no show without her. I wouldn't have had a love for writing without the show being a daily presence in my life. However, I'm that person... I call my own parents out on bullcrap, and I'd die for them. Agnes is just a woman who wrote a show that became popular. She's hardly on a pedestal as far as I'm concerned!

I agree with you there! Love who you love...

Here is my take and lets start the begining

Also, this was a reply to my soap loving proff. So if their are any "Like you saids" or anything like that keep in mind this is a reply:

What led to Irna's downfall was what you said. If she didn't like it she didn't like something and she would change it. She grew up not only when men dominated but in a time were there was no women at all! Before her their was nothing to dominate so she believed she couldn't yield to the powers that be or her creativity would be lost. She would rather cancel a show than to have them control her…which she did!!! Again, that led to her downfall because she made more enemies than friends and NBC/P&G/CBS pushed her of the business and she died a year later. Although she created a MEDIUM she wanted to have a husband, house in the burbs, and 2.3 children! The Ozzie and Harriet life if you will. That was also the basis for ATWT. Anyway, she said if she could trade her legacy for a husband she would.

Agnes learned from Irna's mistake IMO. However, Agnes's father was very discouraging. Agnes did not believe she had what it took to be a writer until Irna told her she was great. Agnes' downfall is that she allowed her father and others to suck away her potential. However, if it wasn't for her father she would not be as great as she is today. Vickie's father was initially Agnes's father. Prominate member of society but demented and over bearing to his kid(s). So OLTL would not have the dynamic hat sparked 43 years thus that show would not have existed. Erica was based off of Agnes' "If I were Bad what would I do" so that dynamic would not exists thus AMC would not be here today.

Double Edge Sword.

I am thinking about that but with REAL money!

I think more people are going to sign up since their is a casting director now.

  • Member

I've felt a few... LOL. I like brunette and blondes

Are you hitting on me? wink.png LMAO

I AM single. ;)

And now I'm getting off topic again. Crap.

But like you, I'm straight, but admit to having girlcrushes on particularly awesome, intelligent accomplished women (lipstick lesbian tendencies? No, girlcrushes works here).
