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.

Okay, I will have to actually see AMC to have any faith in this writing team. Based on the named and previous work I can't get excited. It makes me so sad to see one of Marlene's friends as Co-HW because I thought her DAYS team was terrible. I did enjoy some of their story IDEAS, but the execution was terrible in every way, Since most (if not all) if her DAYS writing staff was fired after her exit, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire team is made up of those people.

Based on names and body of work, there is so much to get excited about for OLTL. I can only hope both shows surprise us and are terrific.

How do you feel about it??

As I said, no opinion.

I view this being no different than Passanante, Rayfield & Cascio, Brown & Esensten, Pratt or Kreizman & Swajeski. All of which added, shall we say, interesting colors to their takes of AMC. I'm simply racking this up as yet another one. If we can't get Broderick, Corley or even Walsh, then anyone else is a wait and see.

No opinion on the matter. Just meant this wasn't a holiday because news is still coming out when it SHOULD be a quiet day, lol.

Oh okay....suuuure I see what you did there. Nice move sly fox.

As I said, no opinion.

You aren't allowed to have no opinion. You have to greet every speck of news about this project with either multiple orgasms or by jumping out a window and slashing your wrists on the way down.

I'm just messing with him. I realize and fully respect and totally appreciated he doesn't give an opinion on the NEWS he is reporting. That's a good and needed trait of being a reporter. A trait sorely missing from many "Soap Reporters" as most can't keep their personal feelings/opinions out of the news they are "reporting".

I'm curious about what an associate head-writer does as opposed to a head-writer and/or co-headwriter? Plus, I'd love to know how they determined who would be chosen as headwriters for the shows? Were there story bible submissions? An interview portion before selections were made?

Plus, I'm curious why they selected two headwriters with no previous ties to All My Children. On the one hand, it is new blood.. but with one of the selected showcasing how badly she did DAYS (granted her ideas were very interesting and seemed to fit better on AMC then DAYS)... makes me wonder if PP has ever watched a soap opera before.

I believe Assoc HW's are Breakdown writers

Anyone know what stories she wrote for PC, Cheap do you know lol

I loved GH in that 1992-1993 period.

From what I remember of it, I enjoyed Dangerous Women.

Breakdown writers = pacing? If so, then All My Children might have some trouble since the knee jerk story changes and pacing were the major weaknesses of Days circa 2011 thru mid 2012.

I did love Dangerous Women.. and the show was fairly well-paced.. from what I could recall.
