I am still wondering how the GH/DOOL/Y&R/B&B writers/producers will react.

They won't.

Who knows? He might holla back. (We live in strange times.)

Meanwhile, I'm not feeling the exterior shots in that preview. They're too Peapack for my taste. Disagree all you want, but I think soaps just play better on a soundstage. #KimZimmerKnowsBest

I think, for the most part, when characters are supposed to be outside, they will actually be outside. All of the outside stuff we've seen so far is stuff that needs to be outside -- Pete driving (and looking flawless), Jesse'n'em doing their thang, etc. The only "exterior" set they might have is that open-air mall thing.

They won't.

Didn't we get an article or something a few weeks ago where some of the people from other soaps were basically like..."Yeah, they're not gonna last lol It's cute for them to try, though. LOL. LOL."

They won't.

When the shows get more viewers than Y&R then they will care. Steve Kent of SONY doesnt see AMC & OLTL as competition for Days & YR. Im hoping FV & RC are hoping AMC & OLTL do well.

And Yes I do believe both AMC & OLTL will have more viewers than Y&R has on CBS

I'm sure Franklin and Ronald are salivating at the chance to stop pretending like they care about GH and get back to their Llanview playground.

Ironically, though, I think soaps in general did a much better job with the on-location/exterior stuff in the '80's, when each soap practically ripped apart their pocketbook to send actors all over the globe.

I don't know, I've seen some location shooting from the 80s and some of it was pretty amatuerish, the 90s were better. And I feel like "Looks like Peapack" is now the go to insult for any location shooting no matter the quality. The little of what we saw with AMC looked good to me.

I thought that was fantastic.

And I'm so tired of any location shoot being equated with Peapack. We've had location shoots for decades. I thought the lighting, etc. on all that material was fantastic, particularly the night work and the car footage from inside and on Pete. It was about a million miles from Peapack, IMO.

David and Cara still look hot. And I think Eric Nelsen is great. God forbid he look like an actual teenager, particularly one who seems sheltered and cossetted by a rich family from a traumatic life. A.J. looks like he's barely seen the sun in ten years, which is appropriate given his history.

Perhaps. But the artificiality of it, for lack of a better word, just calls out to me more in this case than it does on a primetime show, or even one of the primetime soaps, like DALLAS or KNOTS LANDING.

Yeah Eic Nelsen was on twitter months ago saying he needed a Tan

And yes, I do want A.J. and Miranda together. I see absolutely no reason not to do that. It seems clear he will be longing from afar.

Yeah Id like that too but I do bet he hooks up with Celia.

I like the fact that the exteriors look like Pine Valley and not Los Angeles. Those park scenes at the end of the network run looked lovely but they sure as hell didn't feel like Pennslyania.

Terrific trailer--and I'm glad it seems to prove even more so what a number of us have been saying about how they are keeping the feel of the two shows complimentary but distinct.

I still remember when he and Mick Hazen were cast (for one damn day!) as Ross Marler's SORAS-ed kids, Jason and Kevin, on GUIDING LIGHT. "Oh, good," I said, looking at them sitting side-by-side at Ross' funeral, "they think Ross's sons look like Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy."

Absolutely agreed. These shots actually looked like what I would picture PV.

It looked good to me too. I watched ATWT and GL (to a much lesser extent) toward the end and I would have liked those exterior shots to look like these. I've shot and edited scenes for a film techniques class and what I did on my first try looked about as amateurish as the stuff that GL trotted out before they got cancelled. Perhaps we both had the same sh*@ty equipment.
