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

[marceline]

When you put it like that I say "bring on the teens." LOL!

[ER Tosh]

Yep really. People seem to think that shows will be the same as they were in 2011 and things will go back to normal. I look at both PP shows as a experiment that or may not work. .

[marceline]

Same here. I've heard some stuff I like and some stuff I don't but I will judge these shows by what shows up on screen.

[Eric83]

I cant with all the jumping to conclusions and proclamations of how the shows are going to turn out based on NOTHING.

[John]

Another reason I highly doubt OLTL will jump 5 years is that in the castings for Matt & Destiny she was changing Drew's diapers

[Jonathan]

People, don't make me bust out that Milli Vanilli music video again.

[Eric83]

It sure got DAYS to #2 in the ratings and the story was JER's idea.

[alexisfan07]

I wouldn't be surprised if they have Erica be the one that was shot and have her be in a coma until Lucci can film more episodes

[Scotty]

Yeah.....another reason why I don't think they'll jump either. But with AMC supposedly doing it, it does make me just a little bit nervous....lol.

But that would certainly make crossovers a big problem with Llanview in 2013 and Pine Valley in 2018 (unless they try and make it seem as if what happened when the show left AMC take place five years earlier than what it did in real time for some reason).

[marceline]

The key to time jumps is to not specify what year it is. It's just "five years later."

[dragonflies]

Why are people so surprised DC is part of this, I figured he might cause he lives close enough to where the show is being taped and wouldn't have to do it full time

[AllMyDaysatGH]

And one of his first fantastic stories for OnLineTL seems to be about trick turning teen mom Destiny meeting men on a site called SugarDaddy.com.

[dragonflies]

I so bet they recast Bianca with someone older

[Vee]

Not to reignite the old "Agnes Nixon is involved" meme, but setting it around those kids and casting hard for them sounds a lot like the old bird's idea as much as PP's. She's always been very fond of her youth sets. I'm not going to damn it until I see how it works. I don't think it's a bad idea if it's done well.

I do think the time interval is a fine idea on its own but could get messy in terms of crossovers, especially if OLTL doesn't and it doesn't look to me like they are. (And I wouldn't want them to, given ongoing events on GH - the last thing we need is for the GH/OLTL situation is to turn into some sort of Dallas/Knots Landing nightmare.)

I'm not surprised about Susan. She's busy and she's given her whole life to that show. I do think she'll be back later. In the meantime, you can set up story in the shadow of Erica Kane.

[Angela]

Yay to the 5 year jump if it turns out to be true. AMC needed that jump. Hopefully they use it wisely.

Okay so far it is:

Colby, Pete (+ a Good Girl)

Cassandra

Miranda, A.J. (+ a Jock + a Queen Bee)

JR

Dr. Angie, Jesse

Zach

Dr. David, Dr. Griffin, Dr. Cara

Dixie

Opal

Adam (part-time)

Erica (one-episode for now)

(2 Shady Europeans)

Kendall, Ryan (likely to return later on)
