GL doesn't need anyone else picking on them for their ugliness at the end, but I remember I had a friend visiting from Australia the last Summer GL was on the air and he has a fascination with soap operas--from any place, so checked out each of them one day. He said he couldn't believe GL looked and sounded like *that* and was on network tv--I have to agree.

OMG!! ALL MY CHILDREN!

That video was amazing. Love all the location stuff. It did seem more like PV to me, I got the vibe that the Jessie/Angie 2008 train scenes gave off.

Jessie at the steering wheel? Wow.

Bianca LUNGING at JR! DAMN! And Miranda seems like quite the little spitfire vixen. I cannot wait to see what they do with her.

The Celia stuff was strange. The f*ck was that creepy guy in the mirror?! sad.png That had a very gothic feel to it, even the room she was in.

Aside from that, her & Pete seemed ridiculously cute

David/Cara is going to be damn good.

They could've thrown a little clip of our Kendall in there after that shot of Zach at the end icon1.gif

The AMC book really got to me. I will die if they do a modernized version of the original opening for this!

The trailer looks AWESOME. I was a bit concerned that some of the outdoor stuff was borderline Peapack-esque but better lit, better shot and of a much higher quality (I am sure that flicking the HD switch on those handicams and investing in a tripod would have worked wonders on some of GL's outdoor stuff, as would reaching out to local businesses to allow shooting in local cafes etc instead of the cheap sets they used, but that's another matter...). The stories look very exciting, it seems basically a given that Marissa was the one who got shot in the finale, but I'm okay with that. Miranda looks interesting and I'm curious to learn what this Celia chick's deal is. I am excited for AMC's return!!!

I think the outdoor stuff with Jesse and Zach at night looked great but I'm not sure how I feel about the Pete and Celia stuff. I think after seeing artificial lighting on sets for so long, natural light ends up looking false. laugh.png

Ps, everyone in the trailer looks very...pastely. Not sure if it's the makeup or the colors of the clothes but the trailer made me think of Easter.

    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
