So, another one of the AMC newbies just runs a clothing company IRL. Why are they hiring people who aren't actors? Seriously. The only people with acting experience they have hired so far are Denyse (Miranda) and Ryan Bittle (the new JR)

Are they really just hoping AMC will flop and OLTL will live on. Cause, it's looking like that more and more every damn day.

AMC:

-[!@#$%^&*] writers

-5 year time jump

-Casting people with no acting experience.

-limited vets

-limited returns

OLTL:

-90% of the cast back.

-Dorian back...Who wasn't even on for the finale

-Good writers

-No [!@#$%^&*] stupid ass time jump

-Only 2 recasts out of the younger group. (Matt and Destiny)

-Only a little bit of sorasing. Even Sam gets to come back! YAY SAM!

AMC got the short end of the stick. And, I [!@#$%^&*] hate that. I love both shows. But, damn. I'll support and watch them both...but DAMN. *smh*

I get what you're saying, but at the same time, it goes back to what I was saying. For me, there's no disconnect between writing and character. When I say Zach and Kendall were a large part of the show's problems, I'm referring to the way those characters were written. Same in regards to other characters like Ryan and Greenlee, whom people never seem to have problem blaming for the show's decline.

You are aware that acting is a tough business right & having other intrests will keep u creative & pay the bills while trying to land acting gigs. So the fact that Daniel Colvin (Hunter) owns a clothing company doesn't mean he is not a serious actor but a smart guy to be doing other things especially in this economy.

More than just those two have acting experience, and what does limited vets even mean? We have Julia Barr, Ray MacDonnell, Cady McClain, Debbi Morgan, Darnell Williams, David Canary, Jill Larson, Vincent Irizarry (all 10+ year vets), not to mention Eden Riegel. Possibly Lee Meriwether and Jennifer Bassey. Besides SuLu, MEK, and Walt Willey, who is missing?

Jill, the cast and crew of All My Children and One Life To Live, Agnes Nixon, and members of the Soap Press are gathering today for a photo shoot and press junket. More on that coming... stay tuned!

AMC was also the first TV gig for Susan Lucci, Josh Duhmael to name a few and for OLTL's Erika Slezak. So I dont get why your so down on this Daniel Colvin kid?

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
