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

[Ryan Chamberlain]

I'm so wrong. After seeing the first official spoiler. My ideas on this have changed. AMC is going to be good.

So good.

I really cannot wait till it and OLTL are back!!!

That's the same way I took his comment, as well - he's referencing that the "late-bees" may have trouble fitting in with the cast and crew after the "on-timers" going through this initial experience together.

Maybe she did at some point, but I do know she started out with the other comment when she was asked about Walt and Bobbie.

Hopefully they keep it up. Hopefully they have a lot of time to keep it up.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

I am praying they use the same theme song. Seriously. It would not be AMC wiithout that theme song.

I loved it. Loved.

Every version of that theme song with the different openings.

I agree, AMC needs to keep the same basic theme. A more modern rearrangement is fine (I'd love a rock version or really synthesized-sounding myself, but that's just me), but regardless the basic tune should be recognizable. There's no point in starting over with a whole new song.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Yep. Because it's just classic and reconizeable. It's also a beautiful theme song. It was my favorite after GH's Faces Of The Heart.

[Vee]

I'd be upset if they didn't use it.

I'll settle for OLTL not having that same Supercuts opening they had for almost a [!@#$%^&*] decade.

[Chris B]

OLTL could go anywhere for their opening, including in terms of theme. I didn't have a strong attachment to any of them. I will say, the 90s one with no cast featured was probably my favorite. I wouldn't mind to see that updated.

[Steve]

Yes! I don't want to sound like I'm beating a dead horse, but I'm not on Twitter and I don't want to be. It would be nice not to have everything re-tweeted all the time.

We definitely need daily threads for AMC again!

I love that and once the show starts airing, I plan to steal it from you.

[Cheap21]

So the show is defiantly getting an opening? With 30 minutes, and a lower budget, I just assumed they'd have a 3 second title card

[UKBoi]

I think AMC should do an updated version of the final opening. Yeah, it wasn't the falling pictures/family album in terms of iconic opening sequences, but it was nice and established Pine Valley as well as the cast. Maybe the falling pics version could be updated.

As for OLTL, the blue tinged cast opening with the tour of Llanview backdrop was my all time favourite soap opera opening. I'd like to see something like that again. Their final opening was a hot mess that, while consistently updated more than any other ABC soap, looked very cheap by the end because it was all just close up face shots. I love their theme song so I hope they keep that too.

The thought of Zach Slater makes my teeth itch but I like Thorsten and I loved that interview.

This cracked me up. The man has his priorities straight. I don't know how long PP is going to be able to keep that food service going. Eventually they're going to need to come up with a more sustainable arrangement.

[MontyB]

Let hope they don't do a 15 second blurb like GH.

[Wizzerkat]

It's hilarious how the actors are crushing on craft services Really shows how cheap ABC was.

[marceline]

It also shows that PP knew exactly what to do to make some of these people forget the mess from last year. There's nothing like a well-stocked breakfast buffet to make everybody feel like all is forgiven.

Does anyone no any other details for the new opening??
