PP will have to walk a very fine line to figuring out a way to retain loyal and dedicated lifetime viewers to get the core to stay with them and try to incorporate new viewership without losing the core base that kept the show alive and on air for the 41 years that it did. If they start losing too much of the core because they see too much change going on, they will decide to walk away, meaning AMC is over. again....

The Online Network announced two cast additions today. Brooke Newton, who has appeared on GLEE and MAD MEN, will take on the role of Colby Chandler, daughter of Adam and Liza. The part was last played by Natalie Hall from 2009-11. Newton will first appear on May 16. In addition, Jason Pendergraft will play the part of Dr. Anders, described as an "all-business physician." Pendegraft played the short-term role of Lance on ATWT and had a multi-episode run on ARMY WIVES as Dr. Blake Hanson. He'll debut on May 27.

Ah, enter Colby and this new Doctor. AMC has to get more characters in there to strengthen the show, overall. Gotta start filling holes/spaces/gaps ASAP.

Tribute To Pine Valley FB website had a poll on how the first week went and it is not great. Some -2, -1, 0 and a wide range of numbers. Definitely quite a few that say they won't continue to watch the show unless Tad, Erica, Greenlee among others come back in a timely manner. Alot of negative on the TTPV FB site. Some want their old show back/characters too. Some gave the show a 9, if Tad and Erica come back. I think that all of them deep down want the show to succeed, BUT. Those rabid Zendall fans out there, the Rylee fans out there, well I just don't know what to say. But The Tribute To Pine Valley FB page and reading the complaints/grievances/wishes and wants was for sure very enlightening and a little scary too. Apparently some of the posters there have very little hope of AMC succeeding and that gives pause but I hope that everyone will see that this is ONLY the second week and Ginger Smith has said. more core characters are coming so it's gonna take time folks, and patience.

Peter Bergman talks about AMC and OLTL

“You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone in daytime television who isn’t cheering them on,” says Bergman, of the new Web-based soaps. “I hope it is a massive success and I’m one person who’s going to buy Hulu Plus and check it out.” (Though the first episodes of AMC and OLTL went live on Apr. 29, Bergman said he planned to watch later in the week—one of the advantages of online viewing.)

Bergman says that he never believed the network would actually cancel the shows, but knows that the salad days of soaps have long passed. “I got to ride the crest of the wave back in the ‘80s,” he says. “It was an extraordinary time. It was a national phenomenon, this daytime thing. Those days were heady days and they’ve passed, but what’s there now is still really significant.”
