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

[Soaplovers]

to me, even though AJ hasn't been in every single episode, he's been in a lot more then others have. When the show was splicing episodes together, I wish they had cut out some of Aj/Miranda's upteenth conversations about their friendship.. ugh.. we get it.. it's you guys against the world... no need to have countless scenes between them. I do like that Miranda had scenes with Zach lately and AJ had scenes with David awhile back.. but if both were not featured for a couple of episodes, I wouldn't miss them LOL

ABC aired the Watch What Happens, tonight, with the actor playing "Shadow Man" (who we haven't seen in a while) as a dad encouraging his kid to buy booze.

I'll be praying for them.

This is what many are saying. AMC needs to start getting the actors back out there again to push even harder for promoting the show considering OWN's first numbers coming in for the summer short term airing of repeats. The actors have got to get back out there in full force, with Aug 12 coming up in a few weeks for their next round of intense block shooting schedule.

The show cannot afford to simply sit back and watch and wait.

Why aren't PP sending the actors out to talk shows, not just pod casts and internet shows? At least Susan Lucci made mention of All My Children being on OWN when on Watch what happens Live. If it wasn't for Susan Lucci mentioning AMC/OLTL on occasion during interviews, there would be no promotion outside of the internet.

Also, I think 2 episodes per week is not enough.. but I also think 4 episodes per week isn't feasible either with the current filming schedule both shows are doing. Since PP opted to premiere the shows too soon, this is the cards we are dealt.

I'm think 3 episodes per week would be a happy medium. The writers/EP could view each weeks 3 episodes as a trilogy of sorts.. a beginning/middle/end for that week's progression of stories/scenes/plot-points. It would be enough time to advance plot, but also employ some character moments as well.

To me, All My children has suffered in regards to the character beats as opposed to OLTL. At the same time, OLTL has suffered plot-wise while AMC has been firing on all cylinders in regards to plot movement.. just think it's time to get the Celia Guardian story going and get David/Cara/JR to the next stage of the plot since we have established JR/Cara, David/Card, and JR/David quite well in these 30 episodes thus far.

I don't think it's so much a question of sending actors out for TV shows so much as if the TV shows will have them. They aren't exactly A-list guests to have, not to mention it being summer as various talk shows are on more erratic schedules if not outright hiatuses. That said, PP and OWN could stand to purchase more commercial time on other stations as PP did for the April launch.

[marceline]

Isn't this just a re-hash of the "PP isn't doing enough promotion!" micromanaging panic we had at launch?

[EricMontreal22]

Well of course.

[dragonflies]

it's a rehash, doesn't make it any less untrue.............
