AMC: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)


Recommended Posts

Just read about OLTL's new theme and I am happy for them because it seems to fit with their theme song history in the sense that they will have a song with lyrics, but I seriously hope PP isn't thinking of having AMC open with a theme song performed by some rapper and one of the artists from their label. AMC shouldn't have a theme song with lyrics period. Honestly I am still hoping they were able to obtain rights to the theme ABC had been using (Direct TV did it with Passions), but if they can't or won't just no lyrics please.

Let's just relax and wait to see what happens. It's become pretty clear that PP sees and treats AMC and OLTL as completely different shows. I hope and pray for the day that the people on this board do the same.

I have nothing against lyrics. Think of all the classic TV theme songs with great lyrics (All in the Family, WKRP, Friends) That doesn't negate all the classic instrumental theme songs (MASH, Dynasty, Dexter). I'd be intrigued to see a Philip Glass or Craig Armstrong style interpretation of the AMC theme but, hell, if Beyonce and Jay Z wants to take their shot at it, God bless.

I love my Hubbards but I completely agree with this. I always hated that Jesse and Angie were kept in this bubble. It's like some fans only wanted to see them kiss, eat and pray.

I get that they are your favorite couple, I get that they are legacy to All My Children, and hold a special place in history as truly, the only African-American supercouple - and ultimately, they are characters who will realistically always make their way back to each other.

I don't agree that we, the viewers, can dictate story, make ultimatums, or picket outside the studio - if the writers choose to break up the characters because it works in the context of the story that they are telling - I'd rather have that happen, than having the couple(s) together at a time in story when it would make much more sense for them to be apart.

Supposedly, Josh was attacked in prison for killing a kid. It required reconstructive surgery, which is why he looked different. He popped into Brooke's life as the unrecognizable Eliot - a minister, not a priest. His initial visit into Pine Valley was to check on how Brooke was handling life since Laura's death, but when both of their feelings started developing into something more, he revealed his true identity. I'm just thankful that they never slept together, and the story was dropped quickly.

I wished they had explored more of a relationship with Dimitri since he didn't end up with Erica at this time anyway. It could have been a good triangle with Edmund.

I LOVED the Erica/Dimitri/Brooke triangle that was beginning to form in late 1998/early 1999. I felt like it could have transitioned into Edmund realizing he wasn't over Brooke and Erica realizing she wasn't over Dimitri, and then we could have had the storyline we SHOULD have had in the early to mid 90s with all four of them living together at Wildwind.

My only issue is that I really and truly loved the David/Erica storyline that resulted from her accident in 1999, which is when the Erica/Dim/Brooke stuff was dropped.

I may set up my webcam to record my emotional reaction to the first episode of AMC while I am watching it to my computer. It won't be a commentary but me staring at my screen and watching it as I cry my eyes out. I am saying this to everyone because I think everyone should do it so we all can see each others emotional reaction as if we are in the same exact spot. Maybe we can set up facetime or skype at a certain time like 1:00pm and watch the first episode together. Maybe Erroll could do a contest on who has the best "Ugly Cry". Not sure what the prize could be. Maybe Moderator for the day?? Who knows????

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people. Edit to add: The reason this may be impossible to source, and therefore of no use, is because it was not a public statement. She is supposed to have said it at the show, about the show, to colleague/s, one of whom repeated it in public, but that is convoluted to try to track down, so feel free to ignore. I did do some looking & I am not optimistic.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
