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.

Why are we talking about the amazing Vanderbilts?

Also, another quote is "Just the other day he told me about the first time he saw you as a baby" (JR is arguing that his father doesn't love him). Who else would Adam talk about that stuff to?

I just hope David Canary is up for making appearances but referring to him off screen doesn't look good But yay for Brooke!

Why are we talking about the amazing Vanderbilts?

It's referenced in the script side, I mentioned in an earlier post

It's going to be hard seeing anyone else as Frankie given how great CSJ was

I don't see Rebecca Budig as a pet of Frons

Oh she most certainly was, used to have lunch with him all the time. Angela basically summed it up lol

The more I think about the more I think a Ryan/Greenlee/Zach/Kendell free AMC would be wonderful as they really ate the show alive in its final years.

Then again, I wont be watching.. so...

I see both Cameron and Alicia returning as part of AMC's "recurring" cast. Rebecca? For some reason I feel like she was more a pet of Frons (let's not remind ourselves of the REAL Greenlee promo tour), so I just don't see her on except for a VERY limited capacity. I think for her it depends on Walt and Susan, if anything.

Now I'm going to say this though...if Susan Lucci does sign on (whichever capacity), my gut tells me we won't hear the news until the day before or day of filming for bigger press impact.

I hope you're right in all respects.

I don't see Rebecca Budig as a pet of Frons. She, and Greenlee, were front and center well before Frons took over ABC Daytime. The show was awesome with Leo, David, Maggie, Trey, Kendall, Greenlee, and Anna all as this huge extended family. Prior to that the Jake/Greenlee/Leo triangle was also compelling.

She and David were also quite interesting for the few months they were together toward the last year of AMC, before the show shifted direction.

There are still many stories to tell about a complex (anti-)heroine of her age, with her history -- Kendall was getting too tragedy queen by the end of the show's run, but Greenlee retained her spunk throughout. I really hope Budig will be on eventually as Greenlee once more.

Greenlee lost her spunk when she married Ryan, imo. She became a dull, Stepford wife.

Greenlee was amazing, and EB was why. Of course when she became a worshiper at the alter of Saint Ryan it totally ruined her. They had her back for a hot minute with her amazing wedding to David but then threw it out again. She should be a bitch, a super bitch.

Kendell, with AM, always felt so "poor me, pity me, im amazing, why dont you all love me" to me. I could never get into her.

I would be thrilled to see SG return as madison. She was great!

I liked Kendall until she became all about Zach. The real Kendall wouldn't have put up with her husband having a child with her sister (yeah, it was Pratt's bad writing, but still...).

SMG's Kendall was pretty much the same way (I don't think either had that "I'm amazing" complex but I think there was an "I'm amazing" complex within the couple writing) - just more evul. The only time I didn't enjoy Kendall was within the supercouple-heroine complex of 2007 or 2008 onwards.

For most of RB's stay, I thought Greenlee was one-dimensional - a bitch for the sake of being a bitch. I rarely liked her. I rarely like characters like that. I like my bitches to be vulnerable. I'll say it again, twas Greenlee who damaged Ryan. Of course it came around in that the pairing was all-around damaging egotisitical suckage.

If SG was to be asked back, I'd do a Frankie/Madison/Scott triangle.

alexisfan, could be. Faith keeps on saying "Your father" which ruled out Hayley, Colby and potentially (but not completely) Skye for me. The thing is why would JR be so pissed about Brooke getting the power? JR is pissy like that, I guess. I'm a little sick of drunk JR stories. He's such a hopeless character in terms of always failing and always chasing for Adam's approval. I'd hope they would eventually come up with something new for him in terms of story.

I disagree completely about Greenlee being one-dimensional. When she first came on, she was vulnerable. She was like a mini Erica magnified because she felt abandoned by both her parents.

I wouldn't mind Madison coming back, either. I really enjoyed her and Scott at the end.

As for "Faith", it sounds like it's not one of Adam's children and I really hope it turns out to be Brooke, but it sounds to me like it might also be Liza or (hopefully not) Krystal.

RB is and isnt a Frons Pet. Is because he loved her and would have goven her anything, isnt because without him she still would have been front and center.

Ugh, Thorsten is returning as Zach. I was hoping he'd stay away from this project. Hopefully they take him in a different direction instead of the same repetitive toxic merry go round with Kendall, assuming she returns, which i cant imagine she wont with he and Griff back

For me the biggest issues with Greenlee revolved around Budig's coldness and lack of chemistry with people. I think there's a danger in making blatant clones of previous characters. Greenlee was supposed to be like Liza, to a degree, with Scott as Greg, and Becca as Jenny. Then Greenlee became like Erica. Whatever she was, I never believed in it, or wanted to do so.

I never got a Liza comparison with her. It was always Erica. Her first triangle could be seen as early Erica with Mary and Jeff

So hopefully we're getting some Julia Barr news soon.

I just thought of something. What if Erica and Adam are both in a coma because JR shot them?

To me, Kendall looks better on paper than on the screen. A lot of people liked New Bianca better than the old one yet nobody could really imagine a different actress playing her. I think a new Kendall could be a success. I think Sarah Brown would be good but some may disagree. I don't know if Sarah Geller would ever agree to do the role again (Especially with SuLu).

They should recast Liza. She should be older. As for Greenlee, the recast was Sabine Singh & PP needs to ask her to reprise the role.

the character of Greenlee is not vital and can go away. Id rather they bring back Jamie Luner as Liza

I think Beth Chamberlin or Kim Johnston Urlich would be a great Liza Colby
