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

[John]

People have been dogging Eric's look & others have defended him already

[ellabelle]

Oh God yes! So would I! There are so many outtakes and things of that sort that I've heard about and would love to see if they exist in a vault somewhere!

At the very top of my "I would pay serious money to see this from AMC" list is the rumored Erica Kane/David Hayward wedding from 2003. Julia Barr was quoted in the soap press as saying that a wedding had just been filmed in fall 2003 during the Cambias murder storyline, and she was certain it would take everyone by surprise. The only couple who had any reason to tie the knot around that time - and whose wedding would have been really surprising to fans - was David/Erica, and there was a ton of fan speculation at the time that they'd wed to protect each other and avoid being forced to testify against each other. All of the David/Erica scenes at that point in the Cambias story hinted strongly that either they'd killed him together or that Erica killed him and David helped her dispose of the body. There's a shift though in the attitudes of some of the characters around mid-November or so of 2003, and the story is clearly spun off in a different direction then. I'd love to know why that was changed to have Bianca as the killer, and IF that wedding does exist, I'd LOVE to see it!

Hey ABC/PP - you could make a lot of money selling this stuff off in some sort of downloadable format. Hint, hint.

I completely forgot that she was there for Pratt--he wrote the Jesse was with someone in the past story right?

Ha, I prob built it up too much in my head--but I thought we tended to disagree more than agree, especially when it came to AMC (not as much with OLTL...)

[EricMontreal22]

There is no reason Tristan should even know who Nixon is (the closest connection I can find is that she was technically story consultant for all of ABC Daytime briefly in the 80s when he was on GH)--so it just strikes me as WTF material.

[Angela]

Yes. Angie/Jesse returned under B & E. Pratt wrote the Rebecca/Natalia story that pretty much indicated Jesse was off hooking up and making babies within months (?) of his fake death.

There was never much in that story that indicated to me that it wasn't Kendall that was doing the cover-up with the help of Boyd from the start with the wedding to Michael. It was always pretty clear that it was either Erica or Bianca who did the murder - proceeded by a case of amnesia - or that Kendall at the very least believed that.

That is interesting about the wedding.

[EricMontreal22]

Umm, yeah. That just made me facepalm. And lose some of the goodwill I've been trying to feel for him as not just being a "male model." I wouldn't mind as much if he tweeted dumb things about not being able to do as many sit ups due to studying his script....

Look EricMontreal, she played Deena :

Maybe we can get a musical episode!

I think I'd like him better if he allowed his eyebrows to grow in....

[CookieMonster]

I hope David isn't in prison! Please, be a flashback!

[EricMontreal22]

If clothes on the floor mean having just had sex, than my room has seen a lot more action than I've known. I think the overly groomed thing is just being a model--though I would be happy if the online shows had a bit more body hair, myself...

[EricMontreal22]

eah, I'm still happy to give him a chance. He seemed more interesting and lively in the brief interview seconds on ET than I've seen from his Price is Right work, so...

[Angela]

The casting really isn't bad in terms of features:

[EricMontreal22]

I think the reactions were pretty much equal, actually--but it is interesting that they cast the two, and the reaction (and I play a part in this) of assuming one is a better actor than the other. *waits for Eric Nelson to send a tweet of him complaining about eating pasta and showing off his unfortunate body*

Though I still think one's eyebrows are natural and the other's not--you have a point. If he has one tenth of James' talent, I'll be pleased.

I have a feeling the Griffin/Jane pairing speculation based on the photo shoot is true. They seem to be working together (although I guess she'd be working with everyone since she is the coffee shop owner):

I would happily look at Eric Nelsen's body, thank you very much.

I can just smell the patchouli wafting off of Jane in that pic. I think Jane's Addiction is also a head shop.

I think the young male cast is very attractive
