How can someone say the casting is bad when we have not seen any of these actors in these roles yet?

Rob Wilson is not the joke here, I promise.

I know but I assume, maybe inaccurately, the cemetery is somewhat close to the club. They at least have to be in the same neighborhood.

Same here, but why is OLTL - which had a lot of teens in its last years - somehow golden for you and not AMC - which will now have a lot of teens?

I stopped watching AMC in 1996 due to the departure of SMG and CMcC as they were attached to my two favorite story-lines on the show (Erica/Kendall, Tad/Dixie). I also quit because the Santos family had overtaken the show and there were suddenly a bunch of teens that I was not familiar with. Bobby? Kelsey? I'm familiar with Miranda and AJ and Petey and they will be central to the teen and young adult story. I don't see any major new family (Griffin and Cara are just brother and sister) marking the scene.

Are you just upset about MEK (<-- who made the choice to wait)? If I'm remembering posters correctly, I think you've been a little upset about no-MEK for some time. If I'm incorrect, nevermind.

Also. Nowhere did I say that OLTL was golden for me in it's later years. I hated the teen cast. I watched for Viki, Dorian, Clint, Bo, Nora...ETC. The teens where an annoyance over there. Hell, I almost started watching OLTL in 2006. But, I watched one episode and it was all teens (Cole, Starr, Langston, etc..at school) I shut it off 30 mins in and thought it [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] sucked.

Silly girl, negative opinions are frowned on by some lol

actually I remember that being stated by reliable sources and the casting basically backs it up

Yep. It was stated by Daytime Confidential, insiders on various boards, and alot of blogs.

No. I'm not just upset of MEK. I'm upset that they decided to cast people who aren't actual actors.

Like I said. The real joke is the Petey recast.

You are judging without seeing and it feels like you're expanding that 1-2 into 10-12.

A lot of actors who enter soaps don't have a lot of acting experience outside of some school plays and community theater. A lot of them have gone on to be great and/or huge fan favorites.

OMG it said they were going younger & they did but the young cast is tied to core families. However, AMC still has tons of vets as does OLTL. Lots of them are on contract too. Some just like to bitch just to bitch I guess.

Yeah. But, for every Vanessa Marcil. There's a Charity Rahmer not far behind.

Bitch....Whatever...I'm "bitching" having a different opinion is "bitching" Everyone has to drink the Kool Aid. Pass the [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] stuff around.

Funny how whenever someone bashes Ron Carlivati it's not bitching...Or, when they bash actors that the majority of the board don't like they are not bitching.

Ignoring facts to make hyperbolic statements is what's frowned upon. Let's not get it twisted.

I kinda get her point. Casting models in roles, especially models with no previous acting experience doesn't inspire confidence. However I can't write off a character without seeing them first.

Even in the Holiday Miracle thread it was pointed out many times that they were going to go with a more "youthful" AMC. Yet, that gets ignored.

Rob Wilson is not the joke here, I promise.

LOL!

Point one, DC has been putting AMC down for OLTL for years to an extreme. Point two, I doubt they said something like all the older character will be put into a home and only be seen when the teens and 20-somethings visit them. Of course, they want to attract younger viewers especially considering they're on the internet. The best way to do that is with younger viable characters included in the cast.

Will the teens be or become 90% of the entire show? I'm not saying that won't happen but it's not written in stone.

I'll concede that point but you are saying OLTL is in such a better position than AMC when the OLTL cast still will have a lot of (now older) teens. One minute teens are the issue, the next it's models NOT that I'm saying you can't have multiple issues with the show. My thing is that you're having these issues even before the show airs.

For me it's concerns, and not issues persay. The model's stuff is something I know I'm used too.

I get that AMC might be doing a nod to the way the teen scene of the 80's, but why not ease into it, instead of trying to cast the show as "Pine Valley High"

Yeah. But, you all are praising it like it's the next thing since it's sliced bread before it airs.

Your "opinion" isn't based on anything substantial, though. You say OLTL is bringing back 90% of it's people, but you've yet to back that outrageous statement up. You say AMC has "limited vets," but you've yet to tell me what vets are missing besides Lucci, Knight, and Willey. When you make overwhelmingly negative statements out of left field that seem to be grounded more in over-the-top exaggeration than in actual facts, people will question your meaning.
