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

[SOAPSFOREVER]

I think this is probably true too. DAYS was a mess when she and Darrell were hired. I'm sure that meant more "involvement" from the EP, network and Sony, which may have been counter-productive ("too many hands on the creative wheel") to their (Marlene and Darrell's) vision.

I'm going to give MM a chance mostly because she has most of the initials of my favorite AMC writer. Yes, I did say that! *snaps fingers* lol

[SOAPSFOREVER]

I think certain head writers are more suited to certain soaps than others. Just because they're successful with one doesn't mean that success will transfer to another. McTavish had some success at AMC, but was much less successful at GL and GH. Maybe AMC was the show she liked writing for the best, and was why her ratings were better there, at least for a time.

[Angela]

When I mention ratings and her being my favorite writer, it's always AMC I'm referencing. Same for LB.

Megan was by no means perfect at AMC (she would start out good and then by year 3 be a mess; additionally, I didn't watch her late 1990s return), but even at her worst with story-lines I still think she had a way with the characters. As a conscious viewer and not just a child watching the show, I loved her good work more than I loved anybody else's good work on AMC.

To all concerned, I have not yet been contacted by Prospect Park..as per usual, you will probably have to tell me if I am! #lastonetoknow

[All My Shadows]

I totally agree, but everyone knows that already. I can honestly say that in the ten years I watched AMC, McTavish's first two years and the final year-and-a-half were the best. I don't know if I would have ever gotten into the show as much as I did if 2005-2010 AMC was my first taste of the show.

Also...ugh. I'm not here for five-year jumps. I loathe those things, and I find it especially unnecessary in AMC's case. They could easily wrap up the cliffhanger and jump into the present -- a year and a half is far enough into the future to write out certain characters.

[LeClerc]

Errol are you talking about returning cast or just who've they've cast as JR, AJ etc?

Wow! @prospectpk has some balls!

Why do I feel like they're killing off Bianca?

[leahanna]

I think they are recasting Starr, just a total guess based on KA's tweet

[alexisfan07]

Oh that's a good thought too

[SalemPlace]

I really don't think recasting Starr would be a bad thing. I actually hope they do that. IMO it would be a refreshing change that is long overdo.

[alexisfan07]

I wonder if they'd then allow KA to stay on GH as someone else
