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

[AlexElizabeth]

Ewwww.

[alexisfan07]

Only four weeks? Omg depressed

[Mr. Vixen]

Thank goodness

[leahanna]

so if RH is only doing 4 weeks then back for good to GH, does that mean ME and KA are doing the same? Thanks

[Vee]

That is about what I'd expected to happen in the first place. Then the Internet got my hopes up.

Well, maybe he'll come and go. Or maybe he'll just come back to GH to visit? Or maybe it's a visit to Llanview and that's that. There's so much bullshit floating around.

Psych! LMAO!

I read an interview he gave about a week and he kept stressing that the "timing just wasn't right." I wonder if perhaps he has some awareness of all of the haters out there that poke fun of his weight gain and his full head of grey hair and he might be trying to get back into shape or at least shed 10-20 pounds (?).

I'm not saying he should be doing this because I love Tad just the way he is/was when the show ended in 2011. Actually, wasn't there a brief story arc where Opal suggested he dye the gray out of his hair to try to impress Cara, a good twenty years younger than him and he put an end to the idea halfway through. That was something I could completely see Michael E. Knight suggesting to the writing staff.

I don't know, I just want him back just like Ilene Kristen of One Life to Live. Two of my go to people for guaranteed good laughs and good acting.

I was reading Debbi Morgan's tweets. Some interesting tweets over the past week...

Person: still thinking Frankie's recast although I was praying for CSJ to reprise. IJS he is Frankie Hubbard!

Debbi: Still not sure what's going on with that?

Person: I really hope that @CorneliusSJr will reprise his role as Frankie Hubbard on #AllMyChildren reboot!

Debbi: We all hope!

Person: Debbi, do you have any say in who will be cast as you and Jessie's children for the AMC reboot?

Debbi: Actually, I haven't suggested anyone because I don't know any actors in that age group I can think of that would be right...

https://twitter.com/damedebbi920/status/299715696672243713

Person: One thing I love about AMC is that it always tackles issue that no other soap has. Like the whole Cindy has aids episodes.

Debbi: Yes, and that's when Agnes Nixon was so involved with story. Thank God she will be this go round too!

https://twitter.com/damedebbi920/status/299176616637104128

Person: Do you think we can expect some new editions to the Hubbards, like some grandkids? Read that Cass will be back.

Debbi: Yea, the character of Cassandra will be back. Unfortunately, Ya Ya DaCosta had other commitments so the role will be recast...

https://twitter.com/damedebbi920/status/299176167217455104

Person: Will you guys have more input in the sl for the new AMC?

Debbi: possibly...but too soon to know for sure...

https://twitter.com/damedebbi920/status/299714921929789440

Person: bet ya can't wait to start taping... I can't wait to see the shows again..

Debbi: Yep, we definitely start taping on the 25th...for sure, for sure, for sure!

And, this one just makes me LOL:

Person: is Angie still blind?

Debbi: she'd gotten her sight back just before we went off the air!

Well that's disappointing about Roger, oh well. At least I have a lot of my favorites coming back.

[Darn]

I don't mind the weight OR the grey hair, what bothered me is that he looked...bad. He wasn't overweight and making the most of it, he looked sweaty and uncomfortable and the way they dressed him made him look disheveled (and why was Tad always in an ill-fitting suit? As far as I recall he didn't have a job). And MEK looked miserable, I recall a number people asking if he was sick, in fact the immediate response here when he said he wasn't coming back right now was "Is he ill?".

[Vee]

He just always looked close to death to me. But he's looked that way for about ten years.

[Darn]

The yin to my yang.

But yes, this.

It seems like I've heard of this guy before....he may have been a dayplayer in the past on OLTL. Can't remember...but he kind of seems a little desperate....

Paul Desiderio ‏@PaulDesiderio

I'm trying to get my HS and Resume over to Prospect Park. I would die to work with the talented cast of OLTL

Paul Desiderio ‏@PaulDesiderio

Who is doing the Casting for Prospect Park?

Paul Desiderio ‏@PaulDesiderio

@SeanRinggold NICE!! Are u going to Prospect Park? Who is casting?

And there's more on his Twitter page....

[DramatistDreamer]

I see what you're saying Darn.

I've kind of compare him to Jack Abbott, actually the way Jack used to be, because they've gotten into writing Jack as a 'sad sack' over the past several years.

But in their heydey, Smilin' Jack and Tad the Cad were sharp dressed guys with swagger. I wish they would've kept those aspects of their personalities even as they age and mature.

I remember seeing MEK on that soap themed episode of Oprah where he was making self deprecating jokes about his appearance. It just seemed like he was trying to poke fun at himself before anyone else could get the chance, even though he was in a room full of adoring fans. And when two women in the audience gushed about how sexy they thought and still think he is, he genuinely seemed taken aback.

Does anyone think that AMC's budget was part of the reason why MEK looked so disheveled and uncomfortable? I know Victoria Rowell had some complaints about hair and wardrobe. Is it possible that due to his weight, MEK might have felt slighted his last few years on AMC somehow?

[Scotty]
