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

Errol,

I heard the same thing from Ray MacDonnell and David Canary and I do hold out hope that Patricia will make an appearance at somepoint.

[Dee41]

do you have any idea if they are casting younger roles, older, or both?

[R Sinclair]

Does Patricia Mauceri need a job?

[John]

Arent they still casting Mick Wilder & Billy & what bout Starr & John?

[hsfolk]

I think on OLTL, Jeff King is the black English guy guess, think he works at Buchanan Enterprises

[Pine Charles]

Yeah...

But I don't want a triplet and I don't want her playing a totally new character (like a Clark Kent/Superman thing: "Ha Ha Ha! She looks just like Kitty/Kelly, but no one notices.").

if PP was smart they would watch Revenge on ABC to get tips how to write a great soap

Errol, I'm guessing Colby is no longer a factor on AMC?

Should we expect interviews and/or videos from you tonight?

[Vee]

I'm figuring the actors are going to start leaking their own photos soon enough like Jill Larson did.

Blasting a show with the word "Children" in its title for all of the new youth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0bvNQVbfOw

This reboot is reminding me more and more of Degrassi/Degrassi: TNG. In this case, fans of the original are even more spoiled with plenty of familiar faces. Just embrace the change, the reinvigoration, everything has a season, ride the wave.

:PP is not writing the shows. They actually hired writing teams that know how to write daily drama

I'm definitely intrigued by who Francesca James' character turns out to be, or what the character is all about if it's brand new. I like that we have someone in her age range along with the others and a nice tie to the 70s AMC.

I mean, AMC has Cortlandts, Chandlers, Kanes, Martins ... not to mention a character obviously tied to the Tylers (Brooke) as well as everyone else. I think AMC is in just as strong a shape now as OLTL and has a lot of fresh options. I'm really just hoping for a well written and developed teen set I can actually enjoy watching.

I also kinda just love that we have this woman named Jane running a coffee house named Jane's Addiction.

And I figure with/if "Mick"/Jeffrey and "Billy" are cast, that bumps OLTL up to 19 and I'm sure a few others will pop in. I can see OLTL at around 25, with several recurring. I just think OLTL clearly still has a few needs, like who will Blair and Tea be with? Jack and Dani? I'm guessing Natalie/Cutter/Rama/Vimal will interact. Destiny/Matthew will have Jeffrey, right? I'm wondering where "Billy" would fit (unless it's code for Joey like we speculated).

[SFK]

If she's the principal, there's a good chance that anyone in Pine Valley who would even recognize Kitty/Kelly won't see her for quite some time.

I think this casting is really "lovely" for lack of a less generic term. It's really nice that an actress of her age and soap opera accomplishments on and off screen was asked to participate in this reboot, and I'm sure Agnes Nixon had something to do with it. I hope Ellen Holly is next.

You know what I'm excited about? No Fusion! OK, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.

Miranda's job in six months after they get tired of highschool.

JK.

I hope.
