Creepy. Hopefully Errol doesn't come back with a ghost.

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'll leave my response at a very polite, "I disagree" That's not easy for me, I like to go in!

I get what you're saying, but at the same time, it goes back to what I was saying. For me, there's no disconnect between writing and character.

I get what you're saying, as well, but as I said when we're going to the murder of a show for me it doesn't feel sensible not to note writing especially if the comment has some twist of "killed the show" in it. I'd feel a little ridiculous saying something like "David killed the show" because I didn't miss it at all after going through that storyline - and that's true even with the less dramatic "for me" added at the end. I don't think you said anything about murder to be fair.

That said, I think we've probably reached the end of this discussion as we're just reiterating our points

I love the casting for JR too. The smartest new cast member decision they have made so far.

As much as I liked Jacob Young at times, I think it was beyond time to take the character from lost boy to man and physical stature (looking older and being older) helps a good bit with that.

he only people with acting experience they have hired so far are Denyse (Miranda) and Ryan Bittle (the new JR)

Everybody except "Hunter" and "Peter" have acting experience. "Cassandra"? jfung says commercials are acceptable experience

-limited vets

-limited returns

Hasn't every "long-term" cast member agree to return for at least a recurring or guest sting except "Erica," "Tad," "Jack" "Kendall," (<-- all of whom appear to plan to return at some point for potentially long stints if things can be worked out) - and to a lesser extent Ryan," & "Greenlee" & I guess "Krystal"?

I'm sure OLTL isn't at 90% just looking at the group whom wants to stay on GH alone.

You are aware that acting is a tough business right & having other intrests will keep u creative & pay the bills while trying to land acting gigs. So the fact that Daniel Colvin (Hunter) owns a clothing company doesn't mean he is not a serious actor but a smart guy to be doing other things especially in this economy.

Exactly. Not enough jobs in show business period so he may have studied acting (Either formal or informal) but decided to own a business until he gets his feet of the ground. I understand that because that is how I am with my photography!

More than just those two have acting experience, and what does limited vets even mean? We have Julia Barr, Ray MacDonnell, Cady McClain, Debbi Morgan, Darnell Williams, David Canary, Jill Larson, Vincent Irizarry (all 10+ year vets), not to mention Eden Riegel. Possibly Lee Meriwether and Jennifer Bassey. Besides SuLu, MEK, and Walt Willey, who is missing?

They will be limited in appearances though. They want AMC to cater to the younger crowd.

He doesn't even have an iMDB profile. I think that is saying something.

IMDB doesn't include stage work

AMC was also the first TV gig for Susan Lucci, Josh Duhmael to name a few and for OLTL's Erika Slezak. So I dont get why your so down on this Daniel Colvin kid?

Exactly! Not to mention Susan, Josh, Kim Delaney, Michael and the rest were nothing to sneeze at so we shouldn't be to hard on the models.

Just keep thinking the best. But, yeah. The ship sailed when it left ABC.

Possibly, but you haven't seen AMC 2.0 yet to state that widespread "limited" as a fact.

I'm sure Lee and Ray and even David Canary may be limited but Lee and Ray were limited on ABC too. The state of Canary's return is most likely by choice. Julia Barr was often somebody ABC considered fired.

So, another one of the AMC newbies just runs a clothing company IRL. Why are they hiring people who aren't actors? Seriously. The only people with acting experience they have hired so far are Denyse (Miranda) and Ryan Bittle (the new JR)

Are they really just hoping AMC will flop and OLTL will live on. Cause, it's looking like that more and more every damn day.

AMC:

-[&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] writers

-5 year time jump

-Casting people with no acting experience.

-limited vets

-limited returns

OLTL:

-90% of the cast back.

-Dorian back...Who wasn't even on for the finale

-Good writers

-No [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] stupid ass time jump

-Only 2 recasts out of the younger group. (Matt and Destiny)

-Only a little bit of sorasing. Even Sam gets to come back! YAY SAM!

AMC got the short end of the stick. And, I [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] hate that. I love both shows. But, damn. I'll support and watch them both...but DAMN. *smh*

Look up Elizabeth (Betsy) Snyder's writing experience and compare her Writer's Guild and Emmy nominations and wins to the other writers. AMC got the long end of the stick in that respect, plus an EP with over 20 years experience working on the show.

Now go look up what Thom Racina especially is infamous for writing in the past. Talk about a [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] writer!

More than just those two have acting experience, and what does limited vets even mean?

+1. And the guy who runs the clothing company is only recurring.

Wait hold on. 90%? Dafuq.

No, I'm sure it's not 90% without Roxie, Jessica, etc. Unfortunately, they're bringing back the weakest actors on the show, the kid who plays Jack and Destiny's brother Sean.

They will be limited in appearances though. They want AMC to cater to the younger crowd.

But you have like...nothing with which to back that up.

People think I'm so against AMC though. I'm not. I want it to succeed. That's why I'm so disappointed in the decisions that PP is making. Compared to OLTL. AMC looks like a bad joke.

And, you all have nothing to back it up that it's NOT going to be all about the teens and newbies. So, quit getting your hopes up.

I'm a realist dammit. I'm not going to settle for something that is going to be fit for the Disney channel instead of a real soap.

Thank you!!! Just because an actor recurs doesnt mean they wont be on the show a lot. It allows the actor to chose when they work & their pay is usually less than contract players.

Kim Zimmer was recurring for the last year OLTL was on ABC & she was on a lot & even drove story

Kim Zimmer had experience though. And, alot of it.

The majority of the teens & newbies play roles that come from main AMC long time core families. IMO that is the best way to introduce new characters, thru the vets.

Oh snap, she's speaking in undisputed truths, y'all!

Yeah. But, when the vets go up to the Martin Attic in a year....*whistles*

Oh snap, she's speaking in undisputed truths, y'all!

Well, you all always seem to.

I'm just stating my goddamn opinion.

This is not the way to relaunch AMC.

Period. It's a joke. Do you all really believe that good casting entails the guy from the Price Is Right to play a character from a legacy family like Petey Courtlandt? Really? REALLY?

Everyone knows I watched AMC for the past 6 years just like OLTL and GH. I loved all three ABC shows. I was thrilled when I heard they were coming back. But, from a writer's point of view. This is not the way to get something like this off the ground.
