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

[jfung79]

I'm hoping David is going to be more grounded, less mastermindish, less the town pariah, and still together with Cara as the show starts. He can still have an edge and an arrogance to him without everyone always hating on him.

I believe Ginger Smith was with AMC for years? Debbi, among others, are constantly singing her praises, but I'd like to know their visions as well.

ICAM! I loved Project Orpheus because it fit into the structure of the show very well with all the characters David had saved over the years and it corrected some of the worst mistakes McT & Pratt had made.

I think I read somewhere on this board that Ginger Smith was with AMC for about 20 years and worked her way up through various positions backstage eventually becoming a supervising producer. I'd like to hear her vision, too.

Well said!

One can't ignore the crappy writing for nearly a DECADE but some do cause they want a convenient scapegoat

I may hate Sonny, Carly, Jason years on GH, but even I know they weren't the ONLY problem with the show, it was mismanagement, bad writing and Frons

[JackPeyton]

Writing may suck, but when one couple that is awfuly written dominates the show and the worst written stories then yes, they can be blamed.

Dont even try and act like Sonny, Carly & jason were not blamed. While not taking 100% of the blame, they got just as much as zendell do.

OLTL question:

Do the writers feel any extra pressure coming off such a successful tenure for OLTL? Especially since the writing staff is completely different from the one before. How will their OLTL differ from the style that Ron Carlivati wrote?

And a question for both is if they will have any regular outdoor shooting? Both shows had it towards the end of their ABC run (and it looks good on both shows). Also, will there be any outdoor standing sets?

Strange to walk into AMC 2.0 and not recognize (or be recognized by) a single soul. Don't you people know who my mother is?!

@KassieDePaiva It's a date!

Mornin' guys. Off to a photoshoot for @allmychildren as we speak with @SaleishaStowers @L_Hartley and co. #AMC

[IcyOne]

I think AMC and OLTL need separate discussion threads. This has been a big week for AMC news, and trying to sift through all of these AMC related posts to find something about OLTL is becoming tedious.

[KMan101]

Come March 11 it will likely shift to mostly OLTL discussion so this thread is fine until like April probably then split. I see your point though.

[allmc2008]

See what you mean but some of this news is pretty universal.

On my way to an @allmychildren photo shoot with the cast! Nothing like trying to look good at 6am...key word being, "trying".

[Antoyne]

I agree with separate threads...

[Ryan Chamberlain]

I wonder if the photoshoot Denyse is talking about is for the new opening! I really hope so.
