My take/guesses/observations/predictions:

Dara baby is alive, but David and audience believe differently.

Dixie is wearing an engagement ring/wedding ring combo, so she and Tad are/were married again at some point, so I don't think that Tad is in a coma.

Marissa is dead, but not at the hands of JR.

Miranda/AJ are best friends in the beginning, and slowly fighting an attraction, with each not realizing the other is having the same growing feelings of something more.

I thought the promo was well done, but they should have cut out the physical fights because soaps don't have enough time to make them look realistic, and when taken out of context, they look even worse. Also, should have cut out anything that required Cameron "acting" because he is too cheesy soap opera.

Thanks for confirming. The thing I like best is the exteriors and the realization Pine Valley is not SoHo with trees. That was part of where AMC went wrong ages ago, when all of a sudden there was hopping nightclubs and fashion empires in a town supposedly this sleepy hamlet with families dating back to the mayflower.

Watching this got me excited. I always had faith since it was announced it was happening, and I just hope soap fans take to it the way people went to watch Kevin Spacey on Netflix or Battlestar Galactica on Youtube. Hopefully this is the success it needs to be to pave the way for when GH, DOOL, Y&R and B&B eventually get booted off the airwaves and need a new home.

LOL, huh? What does that even mean? Why are you telling me not to watch? I will watch no matter what, but I am just sharing my opinion that the promo was not that good. Compared to OLTL's, which vividly established Viki and Dorian, Bo and Nora, David Vickers, Jack having issues, Todd and Victor, AMC's seems scattered, depressing. I did watch the AMC promo a second time and liked it better the second time though.

As for GH, my history with that show goes back to the early 90s. The show is appealing to old fans like me to lure us back for the anniversary, and it's working for me. I've now watched two weeks since my return and am still liking it. First impressions aren't perfect, but can still tell you a lot about how a show is doing.

I understand your feelings of defending something you like. I am the same way with things that I like. But I just honestly was not that thrilled with the promo.

that video was ok, but im not sure what the point in it was. I agree with jfung that it sure is not enticing me to watch, i guess it was sort of like a prelude to the series? The production values on the new clips are great though and look similar to AMC before it left.

I do hope there is something more along the lines of a trailer to entice people to watch though.
