AMC: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Sadly, I need more time than would be allowed to prepare my dialogue with Debbi Morgan about how unfortunate she is to have to have to carry out Ginger Smith and Prospect Park's plans to desecrate the First Black SuperCouple of Daytime, but I know how upset she already must feel about it. I do have several questions though to ask her, mainly about when Ryan and his Green Butterfly will be back to save this skeletal version of All My Children for season 2.

Well, since I probably won't stay up past 10 p.m. EST, for me you could ask how it feels to be such a major part of the reboot, what they think of the sex trafficking story, if they're pleased with the abortion angle and/or whether either of them would like Angie to sleep with David.

Do you mean you think the scripts are better than the overall stories? No, I wouldn't say that at this point.

Some of you have asked about my original soap series...

Yes, I have been working on it for some time now, with the participation of Linda Dano and Julia Barr. It's a soap dramady about three women who each have a mid-life crisis, whose lives suddenly and dramatically change in ways they never imagined would happen, and the creative and funny solutions they find and the friendships that grow from that journey. It's called "The Vindicated", because they do conquer their circumstances, it's sort of in the style of Desperate Housewives, and was cast entirely with actors from AMC.
We made a nice teaser and did some promoting, but we couldn't quite find the right formula for monetizing the project. The internet is an entirely new frontier, we are only now seeing certain projects finding ways to bring original programming to audiences online, which is why it's so exciting to be a part of this experiment with AMC. Although we did pitch the show to Andy Cohen at BRAVO, (2 days after hurricane Sandy!), and he arranged for me to meet the west coast head of original programming, we haven't yet gotten it off the ground.

I still love the project and think it would have a real audience, especially with the women who watch AMC, it's about them and for them, and I hope to get the chance to produce it someday.

    • Love my girl!  Thank you for posting these!    P.S I've lost interest in this show once again. 1, because I don't have time, 2, because I can't tolerate Bradley Bell's version of sickness and dying. He should S-T-O-P telling these stories. It's like watching Eric's storyline once again - so boring. Liam should have been bitten by a snake and died instantly. If you don't have the dept and the sensitivity to tell these stories correctly... please stick to mid 60s Brooke in a thong and Daphne Rose spraying perfume in slow motion, Bradley.  Stick to your strengths and let the serious drama go. 
    • How cute Bo was back then!  
    • Exactly. Eva made a horrible first impression. Kat was and is completely justified. Her instincts proved right. 
    • Who is Ken Howard? I think you mean Howard Keel.
    • Hehe. Wrong thread.

        Overall, I would agree. However, it has been interesting while I'm waiting for something to happen to see her experimenting with finding characters' individual styles. I feel she's slowly getting it. But yes, it has been hit and miss.    Like when she tries to give a particular style to one person and think it will work for someone else. Like she's lightened up Nick's style which was...different. Almost like she was listening to JM's own style, but keeping it within Nick's bandwagon. Then she tried a similar style on Billy and it just didn't work.
    • It's been pretty well-known since that that BBG was offered a similar deal as Ken Howard (ie 4-6 episodes) and she told them to fudge off. With Jane Wyman, I don't doubt they were willing not to hold her to her contract, but in those early episodes where she appears, she's written sitting down or in a bed for a reason. Her health genuinely seemed in decline.
    • Agree, but I am talking more about the initial casting. Melissa might have only lasted a season if Ana Alicia hadn't impressed.
    • I'm not that impressed with the costuming, still very hit and miss,not much improvement and some of the outfits for Nikki in particular have been awful. Maybe Mariah's secret is she encountered Ian and killed him? That might work except for the fact that her mother has done the same thing.
    • Ana Alicia was far more dynamic and charismatic than McGeehan or Vernon though. Some of it due to the writing of course, but not all of it.
    • It actually felt like TM-G was a bit softer in her scenes with nu-Ted that kind of matched his meeker energy as Ted on Friday. I was very curious how she’d play off him and now I have my answer.
