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

That pig, I wouldn't be surprised if he posted a pic of Agnes Nixon with &%# dripping from her mouth.

[allmc2008]

I don't know much about him. What harm has he done??

[Mr. Vixen]

Agnes doesn't strike me as the type to have a scat fetish.

He lives and breathes.

[SFK]

I wasn't talking poop.

[Mr. Vixen]

Oh...Well it bleeped out.

I remember reading a year or so ago (I think it was on the WLS blog) that he was doing some theater production in L.A., I think.

If he's still doing that, I honestly don't know, I haven't read anything since then.

No theatre production in LA would last a year

I already assumed that Brooke would be back based on the audition thing, but it's nice to have confirmation! Once again, I just wish they had some familiar younger characters too. There is little to complain about with the vet characters, except perhaps Jackson not being part of it.

What does McPherson have that people remember? Will Horton coming out and a Daytime Emmy.

[DRW50]

The only part of that anyone seems to remember was him giving EJ a lap dance.

Maria Arena Bell has an Emmy. Lynn Marie Latham has an Emmy. Jill Farren Phelps and Bob Guza have several Emmys. And Will Horton's coming out worked mainly due to the actors, that story didn't pick up (including a romance) until she left. Anything else? Exactly.

[JackPeyton]

Will was going gay long, long before she came along.

And really? Emmy does not equate to talent.

[jfung79]

Vets and a community feel are more than half the battle of a good soap for me, so I think I will like AMC fine! At worst, she will lay the groundwork for a better writer to pick up and write better stories for later. I don't think Prospect Park would be unwilling to fire her if need be before the first year is up. They want to make this work. They wouldn't go to all this trouble if they just wanted to kill the show off again.

But if there was no community feel from the start, that would be hard to recapture later.

Emmys don't equal amazing talent, but they are not meaningless. Especially for a show like Days that has been consistently shunned in the Emmys, to have won a writing Emmy is significant. Y&R/Maria Arena Bell winning a writing Emmy is whatevs, old hat, but Days, that hadn't happened since the 70s.

[JackPeyton]

Ill take a ton of devloping newbies in a good, solid story over a bunch of vets just... being there. Anytime.
