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

[DRW50]

My grandmother used to have a blouse so much like Debbi's - it's a little disconcerting. But Debbi looks great. One thing I'll say with PP is they seem to be trying to realize a lot of those the industry sees as old hat are still beautiful and desirable women.

[DRW50]

Sorry.

Julia looks truly cute in this pix - I hope that the wardrobe department leans more toward her natural chic/hip/cool vibe (much like her 2010 run). I think it will also help to draw in younger viewers if the older crowd keeps a mature, but is still more fashion forward, style. Imagine Brooke English in Uggs! Love it!

Brooke English should not be dressed like that

[EnglishTea]

I like that Brooke dresses her age, and always hated when SL was wearing age inappropriate clothes, and I don't mean that Brooke English should literally be dressed as JB is in the photo - but the mature style that was presented in 2010, which still had a hipper element to it was much more appealing to me for Brooke than her always being dressed in a suit.

[DRW50]

I will take anything over the years where Brooke wore white stretch slacks that made her look like she had half of Pennsylvania stuffed down her pants.

Jane reminds me of Karen Fairgate.

[All My Shadows]

She actually reminds me more of Janet Thompson (extra points if you know who that is).

No, really, she reminds me of Chef offa South Park because she keeps wearing that damn apron!

[Jonathan]

I can't My stomach hurts.

Or the years of "Brooke English: Frumpy Queen of Love" in the mid-late '90s. That was even more implausible than when they did it with Reva on GL in the Rauch era. As a result of that forced, awkward material for women of a certain age it took me years to fully appreciate both Julia Barr and Kim Zimmer. (And then there's Marcy Walker)

I think they should make AJ an artist. That would bring a lot of good bonding time with Stuart. They could feature Stuart teaching and talking about art to AJ.

[alexisfan07]

That'd be really cool

[R Sinclair]

Ugh! They refused to acknowledge Marcy Walker had a waistline for the better part of her last 4 years on the show!

[DavidsMuse]

How about an AJ conflicted between being an artist and fulfilling his Grandpa David's dream of becoming a doctor? Plus he has no interest in being involved in CE business, confounding his father and Grandpa Adam!
