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.

This is probably old news too, sorry if it is lol

Prospect Park continues to shore up its production ranks. Vivian Gundaker has been named Coordinating Producer of both AMC and OLTL, according to her LinkedIn profile. From 1995-2010, she worked for P&G as producer at both ANOTHER WORLD and AS THE WORLD TURNS.

Thank you, Prospect Park, for emailing me that press release you sent out like 75 days ago about AMC/OLTL's principal production dates. Thank you.

I just got my PP press release stating that production will begin on the 25th. Wow were they late...lol!

They just sent me mine. If you dont mind me asking what does your last name start with. Mine is W so I am wondering if the reason why it took them long to email me is because my last name is at the end of the alphabet.

Mark Collier is way too old for JR, but I doubt PP would care

He'd be great for McBain. If only. Sigh.

Go Laura! Loved her finally having the courage to stand up to Leslie. The Anita/Eva scene was nice too.

Now that makes sense. I do feel the Ronnie story only existed because of ES. You could take that entire story out and absolutely nothing change - except for Laura asking Martin to move out. Even that rift was healed the next time they were together (debate night). I kept wondering, who really cares who gets the Q Estate, compared to all the other stories that had been sidelined just to fit that in.

Ahh I see, ok makes sense... not that I like it, but that makes sense haha.
So that makes me wonder - when Kate Mansi directed Tuesday's show, does that mean she only directed a few of the scenes that episode and not all? Makes me wonder how the directing/writing credits get assigned in that model.

I just found out (from a reddit post) that Robin Strasser returns in February 1993. That soon. I can't believe my time with Elaine is ending. It's soooo disappointing to see her go after all she's done with and for the character. She WAS Dorian. Being center stage almost half of 1992 makes it hard to believe they are replacing her. The character grew so much - facing Blair and Addie/going back to her childhood/re-experiencing past trauma. I wish I could read an interview from that time to understand her feelings after leaving. If one even exists.
I've been watching the German 1980 episodes and enjoy RS's Dorian... A LOT... she does have a different energy. RS's Dorian feels more pretentious and self-absorbed (and a little bit adorable)... while EP's Dorian was darker, moodier, a bit like a broken bird... I like both. Of course a lot of these impressions are influenced by the writing for the character and not only the portrayal. I can't say which is better, but I connect more with EP's Dorian. Maybe I'll change my mind when I start watching RS in English. (I can't judge properly when it's dubbed over in German.)

The show is assembled from taped scenes out of order and the episodes recreated like a puzzle. So B and C stories, and ones not featuring pets or Frank’s personal favorites at that time, get dropped for weeks sometimes, or get shoehorned in as an afterthought. It did not used to be so obvious, and it is slightly better at times now. But it’s been a pattern for awhile now.
As has a bored Valentini interrupting the flow of stories and changing almost everything quickly, dropping months of plots/couples and often never returning to them. The fast pace they were running on when Rory arrived as the recast really covered the seams a lot too, but something changed with the Ronnie story and Britt return as far as momentum, so we are seeing more of the cracks in the way they assemble the show.

Yep - she acted on GL for a year in the early 80s.

Lois Kibbee (Geraldine Saxon) wrote for The Edge of Night while on the show.

I'm noticing there are some issues with follow-through/up on this show. Like Ric being drugged/tortured by Alexis/Ava - after all that, we just sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn't happen? Same with Ned's heart attack - I guess this was just a fast plot point to move other things along, but we're not really supposed to care how he is? We haven't seen him or Olivia since he got to the hospital...
Otherwise, there are fun things I like about the show. It moves quickly, so it's not boring like others. The sets are amazing, and they have so many... probably the best I've seen in current times. Great acting generally.

ALL: Soap actors that also worked BTS on their shows

For the purposes of this thread I think this is cool information to have compiled, but not quite the same as actors that fully transitioned or wrote for other characters while also still acting in the show. Although I know Rowell was instrumental in stories too, and Bill Bell had a lot of respect for her ideas.
I mean Finola/Tristan/Kimberly improvised whole scenes, rewrote dialogue, etc. Tony Geary was famous for this too. And as I said earlier, Geary and his writing partner wrote two story treatments that GH accepted and used with the writing team to develop them. The Luke & Laura returns story, and the horrible Cassadine Endgame, which Geary said had virtually zero in common with what they presented and sold to ABC. Genie Francis came up with the idea of a baby Laura left behind that Wendy Riche and Guza used later on.
Wasn’t Megan McTavish a performer on soaps before she wrote as well? And I just recalled that Pam Long wrote and acted on Texas when the show was winding down.

I’m not gonna lie today was pretty good! Gina dragging Phyllis for the filth she is and Nina and Amy (glad to see her mix it up with more people) making it clear how much they detest Cane for everything! I even got a laugh over Esther being the culprit of the mums being sent to Christine to cause her allergic reaction.

Has Patty Weaver retired from singing IRL? My heart sank a little when Gina said she was a former singer. I guess I was kind of hoping she was gonna serenade them like she did at their first wedding with “starting here, starting now”
