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

[Vee]

I think it could be read either way but I can't be bothered to think anything of it just yet. If there's anything new to behold it should come out in the photo shoot. And it's clear OLTL hasn't finished casting yet.

[Mr. Vixen]

Shoot me, but I'm looking forward more to AMC. I think they're smart building up their younger cast now rather than later. That's what's going to provide a future for these shows.

Looks like DC's Jamey Giddens didn't get an invite to the PP/TOLN PR Event for AMC & OLTL and apparently hes not getting any ABC PR for GH either.

Hes been whining all day!

I've had a rough day and came home to find I might have nekkid Cutter in my life come spring. Hallelujah!

[jams1234]

Sorry Queen. Now don't Queen out on me

[Pine Charles]

I won't shoot you.

I don't mind the teens if the writing is good and the actors can sell it.

AMC in the early '80s had many teen stories and the fans (young and old) enjoyed them. The actors were charismatic and the parents/guardians of the teens played just as pivotal of a role.

I would love it if this new teen scene was like the early '80s one.

It seems like Daytime Confidential actually opted out of the affair. Which is [!@#$%^&*] insane to me. What do they do, if not this?

I'm very encouraged about AMC, but it's important to note that a lot of the focus is likely coming from their starting production first. I'm sure OLTL will get as good a rollout when the time comes. They (AMC) also have an all-new cast of young people for everyone to coo over and speculate about, which has been very exciting for me as well. With OLTL there are some new people, but others are still being cast and the rest are known quantities. I love the AMC hype train, but I look forward to the OLTL one too.

FACTOID: #RyanBittle didn't have to audition for the role of JR! @allmychildren

[All My Shadows]

I guess I didn't really mean audition per se as much as...

Agnes: "Hey, you know who would be good for the Evelyn character?"

TPTB: "Who?"

Agnes: "Francesca James! We should phone her and see if she wants to do it."

Unless of course they created Evelyn with the intent of making her connected to Kitty and Kelly or just plain wanted to make a role for FJ.

[Vee]

I don't think Agnes Nixon and AMC ever just bring in Francesca James by chance. I have to believe the character is tied to Kitty and Kelly.

Or maybe Aggie just loves James that much, which we already knew.

[PeterAKer]

I think Francesca James's new character Evelyn Johnson is an Identical Triplet of Katherine "Kitty" and Kelly Tyler and to reintroduce a Tyler back into Pine Valley.

[alexisfan07]

So AMC has 7 all new cast members and one returning after decades away, out of a 20 member main cast. Damn!

I think OLTL basically considers Sean Ringgold, Shenaz Treasury and Nick Choksi 'regulars.' It's not like they listed any of the AMC recurring cast in the press release, which was strange.

Today's one life shoot was amazing! Pinching myself. This is happening. In a big way. #OLTL

[Vee]

I just want to know if KDP was crying her way through the whole thing again like when OLTL wrapped taping. (And Bob Woods, for that matter, who I heard was out in the street with fans in tears, as was Austin Williams.) I can't deal with Bob Woods crying like he did in the finale.

[alexisfan07]

UGH this bitch

SO EXCITED for everyone! RT“@kelleyrmissal: Today's one life shoot was amazing! Pinching myself. This is happening. In a big way. #OLTL”
