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.

Further, in order to keep costs down, I'd use only a minimum number of sets: the Llanfair drawing room, the Banner offices, a new tavern, a new "fine dining" establishment, and Dorian's new penthouse apartment. If you have a character who is a doctor or a cop, I'd include the Llanview Hospital lobby/waiting area or the Llanview P.D. But I'd use those sparingly, because writers will need to contrive all sorts of excuses for why characters are always there.

Depending on how this all goes down, the sets may also be shared, so the writers may have to find matching sets - Chandler Mansion for Llanfair, Dorian's Penthouse for Erica's Penthouse, Banner Offices for Tempo Offices, etc. IMO, the shows will definitely share more utility types sets like police station, hospital, possibly restaurants.

Wondering will it look more soap operaish or will the look of the show like a movie or 1 camera shot?

Oh, God. laugh.png

Are you drunk (like I usually am whilst posting)?

I turned 21 last August. Since then I had maybe 4 ounces of a Margarita (on my B-day), Two wine cooler's and about a total enough wine to fill 2 wine glasses. As you can tell, I HATE ALCOHOL! I hate the taste, the smell, the burning sensation you get when you go number 1.

No its meds.

I only get loopy at night when I take them.

I think this thread should be closed and a new one to be started b/c I can't with this person posting post after post of unnecessary BS. They know what they're doing is unnecessary but continue to do it to be funny and get laughs

It's not just him, it truly isn't

One person is far from the only problem with this [!@#$%^&*] thread.

THANK YOU!!!

I just read all of your replies. You're so drunk that even Nancy Lee Grahn wouldn't make fun of you on her Twitter.

AMC and OLTL would have to be paired down significantly, which would make it hard to bring back past characters if you want many of those who were on the finale to be present.

IA. That's why I wish PP had struck a deal with the WGA and hired writers before signing actors. It isn't as if PP is picking up things where we left them last Friday. Not only has much time passed, but also, PP's projected budget costs for each show won't match ABC's, no way, no how. Had they hired writers first, they might have been able to sit down, look at where their respective shows were, decide who were the most essential characters -- not actors, characters -- going forward, write a tentative bible for those characters (along with any others, either new or old, who were not in the final cast, depending on story needs) along with some initial scripts, and then sign on actors, cast and recast, depending on availability.

As it is, it appears (to me) PP is merely signing on actors at will; and while I won't say none of those actors are necessary for the reboots, in some cases, especially where AMC 2.0 is concerned, I'm asking myself why and wondering if he/she isn't taking up "space" that might have been better served with another actor/character on-board.

I see know reason why they can't use the same public places like Court Houses and Restaurants. They can maybe combine sets or do a set reversal and re dress the sets. Maybe they could combine the Tempo and Banner offices? That would be interesting seeing Vickie and Brooke seeing each other in the hallway or eating lunch together. That would be a good idea IMO to bring people who were not interested in one soap to give the other one a try. Do some buildings have two penthouses if so maybe Erica and Dorian could live in the same Building which would explain why the Penthouses look similar. And again, having them interact would be cool and easy since they will be using the same studio. In my fantasy world Opal and Roxy would both run some kind of Beauty Salon. Could Dorothy Lyman be a replacement Roxy? Maybe they could be cousins!

I don't know if it is possible to prove I don't drink but I really dont! I am a natural talent of Intoxicating myself naturally! In HS people were always accusing me of doing some form drug but no I hype myself up! Actually, I was always able to do that! I may post a YT video of me when I was 10 which some may find entertaining!

You remind me of Tammie Brown from Drag Race.

No, I am saying I want them to do little crossovers. Like a scene were Vickie and Dorian meet each other in the hallway or something and become an acquaintance. You see, I always loved how PV and LV were neighboring and I would like to em brass their proximity. So short scenes of different characters interacting. Maybe during the prologue. They could have Tempo and the Banner merge together and share the same building. I watched my All About Erica tape the other day and Brooke said "Erica's mouth is like the front page of The Banner" and that is what inspired this example. Of course WERE the offices take place is up for debate.

Another Words I want AMC to be in Pine Valley and OLTL in Llanview but I would like to see the citizens of each town interact with one another.

does anyone have any idea if PP is still insisting on "exclusivity" like they did last time? And how long will the OLTL characters remain on GH?
