AMC: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)


Recommended Posts

Since

and her best friend is gone, she really does need to have some storyline of her own. Love interest ideally, but Hell I'd even live with her re-opening the Glamorama. I don't want them to fixate on it too much, but some storyline addressing the lack of her own life would be great, and how she lives through other people's lives (even if she is often the voice of wisdom.)

Jill Larson is far too talented and gifted actress to be given a prop up character without a life of her own (and a romantic relationship). Yes, Opal needs strengthening and a storyline all of her own. and I am sure she misses Erica alot.

Bianca Montgomery (Eden Riegel)All My Children

Eden Riegel made history on All My Children when her character, Bianca Montgomery, married her lover, Reese Williams, in the first legal same-sex marriage on daytime television. The event made her character so iconic that the producers found it impossible to recast. Riegel made it clear in a recent interview with SheWired that she is proud to represent lesbians on daytime TV. In February, Riegel announced that she will be reprising her role in the latest continuation of the show, Prospect Park.

You know, it's possible to both like these shows and not be an "apologist" for the parent company or condone this sort of thing if it happened. Which I expect it did. Time to reset the drama clock again.

    • Oh, let's click the blocked message for a moment and see what you have to say here. What are you right about re: Beyond the Gates? Be explicit with everyone here on the forum about what you mean. Is it guaranteed trash, like you said months before it first aired? Simple yes or no question. And if so, why other than 'I am not writing it'?
    • Mm-hmm, 100% on point. And on account number two or three, at this point?
    • I have no idea WHY you keep talking about me. But I'm right, and you know it.
    • I mean I totally can see how you thought it was his grandkid.  It was the late in life Carly/Sonny pregnancy no one needed.  The little girl is so cute though.
    • Vanguard spent the year before the show aired declaring that BTG was anti-Black 'guaranteed trash' for not using his fanfiction ideas. (Ask him about it, he won't admit it though it's in his posting history across his multiple accounts of the same name.) He now spends most of his posts spamming old clips pleading for them to hire people from bad Tyler Perry soaps. There is a lot to fix about BTG IMO, but there is also better, more valid and serious critical discussion to be had with other posters who are actually not furious that the show is renewed til at least the fall of next year.
    • This show was a gamble on every level. It just doesn't have months of time to pull in the audience. I stated this before it ever hit the airwaves.
    • EVEN WORSE. And LOL I get something wrong at least once a week.
    • Come on in! The water (and my comments which you know how I write from the HW Thread

       ) is fine!!! I am sure my comments should help you along nicely.   And I think you know better than most, I can be fair.  But I can't remember if you were for or against slow burns...cuz Month 2 is full of them. As for characters, I do feel you will love Eva and the SilkPress. And Nosy Nurse since you love Housewives. I feel it's done a good job of giving old school soap, but modernizing it at the same time. Beats ARE getting hit. There's A story (The SilkPress storyline being the best paced so far), B plots, and even C plots. The show is still finding its rhythm, but I don't out and out hate anyone and everyone has gotten time to shine. ANNNND it is having the best May Sweeps so far from what I've viewing (I am behind on DAYS though and GH and I are on break mostly).    But...I agree with others. It has been VERY subjective up in here so you should come in and make up your own mind. I of course, look forward to your thoughts.
    • Lol.  Donna is his daughter.
    • 1976 Pt 7 Brad tells Snapper he’s almost blind now and can’t  keep Leslie from finding out,so he’s leaving her today, right after her benefit concert. During the performance Brad slips out and goes home to pack, leaving a letter for Leslie telling her to continue with her concert work and to trust him when he says this is the way things have to be but it has nothing to do with  her. Figuring he’d do something like this, Laurie follows him, and agrees to let him leave only if he'll let  her help him. She takes him to her apartment. Leslie arrives home to find Brad’s things gone and his letter waiting. She tells the family he’s gone to be with his sick mother and spends the next days reading and rereading his letter, not eating, not sleeping, and in tortured despair. Finally, realizing she has to get out, she goes to the Allegro, where she runs into Lance. He insists on driving her out to the lake house, where she collapses in the living room. While she’s unconscious, Vanessa tends to her, and when she comes to Lance insists on taking her to Snapper for an examination immediately. The next day Snapper tells Les that his suspicions have been confirmed she’ s pregnant. Lance continues to be attentive to her, and Leslie can’t help but respond out of loneliness, but, thinking of her pregnancy, Les asks that he not try to see her. Laurie, meanwhile, has. taken Brad to San Francisco for further tests, but again there is no ascertainable reason for his blindness. Lance and Laurie are fencing with each other again—she won’t explain why 'she went to San Francisco with a friend and he won't tell her who is living with him at the lake. Vanessa, watching Lance and Laurie through her window: vows that Laurie will never get him... never. Joanne now has a new confidence in herself and her future and tells Jack she'll get a divorce. Jack replies that he’s not sure now whether Peggy even wants him any more. Joanne visits Peggy, saying that Peggy must now reassure Jack, as he feels responsible for what she’s gone through. Ron’s attorney, learning from him that Peggy saw himbefore the lineup, petitions to have Peggy’s identification thrown out of court. They will claim undue influence. Ron’s convinced he’ll win. But at the hearing the judge determines that, while Chris had talked to Peggy about Ron, she never described him to her, and that by introducing himself to Peggy willingly, Ron himself created the situation. The petition is therefore denied. Ron furiously tells Nancy he was wronged, that the Brookes’ money and influence in town robbed him of a fair break. Nancy is badly shaken when she finds a paper with Chris’s correct address in Ron’s pocket, as he insisted he had the wrong address. When she confronts him, Ron explains that Chris later gave him the correct address, which he wrote down and kept, throwing away the incorrect one. Nancy dismisses her doubts. The night before the trial is to start, Ron tells Nancy she’s to divorce him if he’s convicted. This upsets Nancy so badly that she goes to the Brookses’ home to implore Peggy not to do this to them, not to take her little girl’s daddy from her. Meanwhile, at their apartment, Ron is remembering how he waited for Chris on that day and then found that it was Peggy he had raped. Momentarily, before the trial the next morning, Peggy, thinking about Nancy’s visit, expresses a doubt about the identity of her assailant, but then the whole thing flashes across her mind and she sees his face. She’s sure now. Laurie worries that Brad’s walking out on her might cause Leslie to break again. Brad assures Laurie that Leslie is a strong woman now, and Les’s ‘success on her next concert proves him right. She leaves for her South American tour, and Brad, planning to study braille and prepare himself for his new life, decides to ask her for a divorce upon her return. ‘Laurie warns him that Leslie won’t consider it without seeing him first.
