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

Bittle looks so similar to Cosgrove in the photo shoot picture

I'm impressed at the actors who are willing to be in these Twitter photos, clearly with little makeup, and in extreme closeup at some points. It's impossible to not look like death much of the time in those situations. I was surprised at how good Thorsten Kaye looked, actually.

@Brooke_AMC Julia was there. She was amazing. I have some quotes from her to post a lil later. @allmychildren #amc

I'm amazed Agnes Nixon is up for helping out AMC & OLTL

they do better than me because I've never been able to get into all that twitter stuff

[DRW50]

Me neither. I'm mostly happy to see some soap people not making damn fools of themselves on Twitter.

I don't think most people on Twitter come across as "fools," and certainly not any of the AMC cast.

My reactions to today ...

Glad to see all the happy, familiar faces in the photos! Glad to see tweets continuing to be enthusiastic (except for Eden Riegel's weird one about not recognizing anyone and no one recognizing her -- really?). Liked reading Dan Kroll's tweets from his talking to various actors. Glad they are all grateful to the fans. I am so glad the shows are back, not only for us but for them too. The live tweets from today's shoot are another reason why it's good there's Twitter. Back in the day, we would be waiting forever for news even from a big event like this, and that news would be "spun" by the people who released it.

Nudity? Yuck. Contrary to popular belief, most soap fans do not watch for skin show.

Well so this is the full cast list. Glad Ray MacDonnell is contract! More random new characters - bleh. Did not know Francesca James used to play a character back in the day on AMC. I just remember her name from directing/producing roles.

Angela, I think commercial experience counts as acting experience when it makes enough of an impact that you gain a following from it. LOL at your semi-dig, I did go through the whole thread so I did see it, hehe.

Jerry verDorn and Jordi Vilasuso picture made me think GL reunion. Glad to see Jordi seemingly becoming more popular among AMC fans now. A little bit of the legacy of Guiding Light lives on. Jordi and Jill Larson continue to be the main source for news and pics so far. Who knew this "PaosRevolution" thing would actually matter so much a few months ago?

Soapcentral says that Francesca's character, Evelyn, will be the "headmistress of a girls' school"

Is Miranda going to be attending an all girls school? Interesting if true but I was looking more forward to Pine Valley High....maybe they're going to tell Miranda's story at the girls school and AJ's at PV High? And eventually Miranda will leave the girls school? Man, who the hell knows. LOL. Interesting indeed though.

Does anyone have any video of when Eric Nelsen was on GL as Kevin? I can't remember it. I wonder if he knows that he was in the same room as Kevin's dad Ross for the photo shoot on Wednesday - Jerry verDorn was off the show by the time Eric Nelsen made his appearance or appearances.

Interesting news about the girls' school. I was looking forward to all the teen characters being at the same school too.

I think people have commented on JV's "real" age ever since Guiding Light. Maybe he just always looks older (though he's a year younger than me--I would have thought at least mid 30s)

As for Ray--I think he ooks great considering his age--and I don't think he looks much older than when we last saw him--that candid shot there is done with a horrible flash and shows off all the lines more.

[EricMontreal22]

Hrfmm and she has a BIG secret. I am shocked!

[jfung79]

Yeah, I think he still looks about the same. David Canary seems to have aged more. But they both still look healthy and happy, and I'm glad they are back on the show!

I don't care about the headmistress's big secret, although I think it is likely tied into the show's past in some way. It already sounds like something that's supposed to be good/impressive but will fall flat. I am beginning to fear what these Marlene McPherson "using history" stories are going to be like, after her reputation on Days. I would rather a "big secret" driving story be coming from an underused but emotionally rich character who is established on the show already, such as Opal, who I care about.

Eden Riegel tweet was a joke to make fun of the fact shes Erica Kane's daughter I found it in good taste and humorous.

[jfung79]

Oh okay, good. I hope that's what it was. I thought she was serious that she didn't recognize anyone.

We both watched Guiding Light. I'm just glad they're indoors and not doing their own makeup/wearing their own clothes. Indoors is a major coup for me after that.
