All My Children AMC: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)

[EricMontreal22]

That caller was one of the more intelligent ones otherwise--but no. SHe was an abandoned baby found on the street and I think her mom could have been a drug addict (the story was kinda rushed as it was finishing) but yeah, no AIDS baby. I believe Angie on The City did have some issue with AIDS and prejudice early on in her clinic, but....

I am never going to attempt to call Michael Fairmen again. My only question turned into 7. So it may be a good thing he never answered!!

[cassadine1991]

what were you going to ask???

[EricMontreal22]

All in all a reassuring interview--Ginger really seems to have a vision for the show, something Julie never seemed to. About half the callers were idiots ( ) but...

[cassadine1991]

I know I certainly wasn't one of them

[EricMontreal22]

I meant you, specifically.

Nono, of course not. Even out of the people who asked the horrible "is so and so returning" some were fairly intelligent about it, others....not so much.

[greens_dupres]

Yes and because she has so much history with the show, I don't think she'll be led around by fanbases at all. Its good I didn't call in- I would have been like Ginger, no one is here for Rylee or Brot & Natalia and please don't kidnap David Canary from well deserved retirement for a wedding so just forget those other people.

I am seriously going to maybe call next week for OLTL anniversary but with a solid question plan in mind.

Ugh you couldn't get through? Sad- they should have screened out some of the endless return/couple ship questions.

[cassadine1991]

yeah some were pretty hostile toward Ginger..

[greens_dupres]

Oh well at least no one accused her of hating Jesse/Darnell.

[~bl~]

Did they say exactly what next week's show was going to be about or just OLTL?

[LeClerc]

One of Monday's episodes Ginger was describing sounds really good.

Did I hear right that although they haven't approached Carol Burnett she said Agnes has something written for Verla Grubbs?

[EricMontreal22]

OLTL's 45th Anniversary with "Surprise guests"

Ginger did give a spoiler for next week's AMC (not sure which one as she just said the 15th)

[cassadine1991]

I do love that they remembered Cass and Colby were friends in High school

[EricMontreal22]

She said AGnes has written TO Carol--and that cameos like hers are more likely now that they have a production schedule more in place. She handled talking about missing actors really well I think.

And thanks to Cassadine, it really was great to hear how much Agnes is involved. I wish I knew more which story ideas were hers (the impression was Agnes liked and approved of the Cass story but didn't necessarily suggest it)--all she mentioned was the Billy Clyde/Joe scene which she did as a sort of favour to Ray McDonald who doesn't get much material like that. But the impression I got was that everything has to get Nixon's OK (and she obliquely touched on Nixon being less welcome at ABC in the last little while, which we knew).

[greens_dupres]

I am really excited with those previews- it sounds like next week shows will have a lot of heart and some good dramatic stuff. I've been watching OLTL first but Ginger has me pumped for AMC next week so I'll switch it up.
