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.

RUMOR: PP has made a deal with HULU to Air both AMC & OLTL

Were did you here that?

Looks like former AMC (and later ATWT) producer Carole Shure has been added to AMC's production team:

I figured she would be involved somehow as PP hired her as a consultant the first time around to write up budget proposals, find studio space etc

I have no doubt Chris Goutman is on the phone with her as we speak, trying to get a directing spot.

I remember her as someone who was highly respected. David Canary thanked her in one of his Emmy speeches for putting together his reel.

I recall that as well.

Issues with Goutman aside, I thought ATWT had a pretty solid production team and I think she was his second-in-command there. Minus when they started going outside more near the end the show looked good IMO.

I agree about ATWT. It usually looked pretty good.

ATWT had some sort of budget stuff I always wondered about - for instance, how they could afford to keep so many very tenured vets around, and most of them on contract. I know they probably took big pay cuts but you never heard the huge contract drama or firings or recurring controversies you did with most other soaps, including their (once upon a time) sister show GL.

I just think most of the ATWT kept a lot of things close to the vest. Only after the show ended did you hear a tiny tidbit or two about backstage dynamics from vets like Eileen Fulton and Martha Byrne. I think the most telling though was in Larry Brygmann's departure-- if memory serves me correctly, that was primarily about salary! Larry felt he had to downgrade one too many times (he didn't have much storyline by then either, I believe) and he was outta there (lol). Of course, having a successful B'way career probably made it easier for him to say goodbye.

Yep I won't pay to watch either AMC or OLTL, and i have a feeling alot won't either. If true it's most likely going to be hulu plus, I'm sure they'll want to get something out of the deal

Jamey has amended his earlier report about Carole Shure: She is working with PP on the AMC reboot but hasn't been hired on as a producer.

Don Hastings briefly wrote for ATWT while also appearing as Bob.

I think the last she did was directing again at ATWT after GL was canceled.

They should have done more with her but considering that I'm not sure how popular she ever was compared to Meg Ryan, I suppose being more of a B-heroine was inevitable. What I've seen of the pairing with Josh has some compelling moments but is more about showing us he's a good person rather than being about Betsy.
The relationship does get one of her best scenes (one I'm not ever sure was from Marland or a strike writer because it feels much more out of control than most of his ATWT run), where she digs at him for sleeping with "cousin Meg" and when he can't take it anymore, nearly asks if he's going to rape her before she stops herself.

Thanks for the clips and mini-reviews @Maxim . I appreciate that you also recap the moments you don't show.
I didn't realize the hot therapist stayed around this long. I suppose it makes sense to keep bringing him back to unwittingly cause chaos. About a year before this Another World had an evil female psychiatrist, plotting to get a man. There was something in the water in those years as the big screen and softcore movies loved that theme too.
The scene with Viki and Bo is moving, but I wish they'd brought up Viki's late husband, Joe. Like Sarah, he also "died," returned from the dead, and died for real. I guess they may have thought connecting to recently deceased Megan was more organic, especially as Sarah was her sister.
The Dorian on display here is who we'll be getting for a while to come, just in a much more outwardly neurotic and histrionic form once Elaine Princi is gone. I don't love when the show uses Dorian this way, but I know they need her to move the plot along. The moment where Viki nearly snaps is great.
Your mention of the "circus" with characters like Alex reminds me of how some fans talk about novelas, and the cores of them. They too are critical of some that have a "circus" atmosphere. Alex would probably fit into that type of show. Actually, much of OLTL at this time does remind me of them - Blair's schemes with Asa, Addie and the scissors, Clint/Viki/Sloan, Dorian, Luna and Death, Marty, Suede, etc. That high octane, operatic feel.

I think Frost is a really unique presence. She was not suited for being chained to what seemed like an already dated couple. I wish they'd made more of her time post-Steve, though I will reserve judgment on the controversial pairing with Josh.

There was a scene with Alex in the drugstore, eating some ice cream on a stick. It was hard for me to imagine Marj's Alex doing that, although Marj did seem to have fun with the moment (and her Alex was initially given a more common touch, like playing basketball with Buzz - I'd love to see Bev in those scenes).

I agree Bernau managed to find the line. I think Raines could have too, but not as easily.
My biggest issues with Raines were a lack of charisma and lack of chemistry with leading ladies. Clearly, he had that in his stage career, but I rarely saw this in his work as Alan. Bernau is fascinating in every glimpse, whereas Raines would have been a slightly sourer grandfather in the Werther's Originals ads.
There also seemed to be no real long-term plans for him after the Mr. Tashiwa nonsense, maybe due to the frequent writer turnover in JFP's last year. The best they figured out being a pairing with Tangie does suggest JFP had another actor in mind, although I have no idea who. I wonder if she may have wanted Jed Allan. I think pages ago there was a list of potential Alans mentioned in Soap Opera Update or another magazine at the time. I can't remember the names. Joe Gallison may have been one, but I am not sure.
