One Life to Live MORE AMC/OLTL: May 2013 Episode Discussion Thread

[Cheap21]

no it was 3 years. 5 years from 2011, which would equate to 3 years from today in 2013. People keep forgetting or ignoring that we progressed 2 years in real time as well

I couldn't take anything involving Beth or Edna Wallace seriously after the monkey fell in love with Luis

There you have it.

And this is how you introduce a brand new character, start them out in the background.. and support for other people's stories. Their reactions and actions as support in established characters stories helps paint a picture of who they are.

Once viewers are used to them, then start to explore their backstory on screen.

I like Celia, but I feel that the show is rushing her and Pete. I want to know more about Celia since she does give off a Jane Eyre vibe.. but I think having her in scenes with Brooke is a good first step in tying her to the show. Then once she is fleshed out, then move forward with her and Pete. Even though Pete was on before, we don't know much about him.. how he went from geeky chem dude to hot shot techie dude.

I will say that Ginger Smith seems like a no nonsense boss, and I think the show needs that right now. She doesn't seem a type that would give in, without a fight.. so Frons wouldn't have had her as EP if the show was still on ABC.

Ginger Smith should've been AMC's EP when it was on the network. JHC was a friend of Frons which is the only reason she went to AMC in the first place. Frons had to cancel Port Charles so he gave JHC another job and she was allowed to continue to fail year after year after year. Say what I will about Jean Dadario Burke, she at least grew up on this show the way Ginger Smith did. JHC was GH bred which is why, after Wendy Riche was fired from both GH & PC, she became the EP of Port Charles... where she was supervising producer. So, I have no doubt that Ginger Smith is taking her job seriously. She has a show, staff and cast that she's come to know and love for years to protect.

Burke's AMC was largely uninspired (though she was there for Bianca's coming out and that short Nixon period)--and Iw as disappointed because I thought her work at Loving and The City was innovative but showed respect for the genre. But I'm not surprised that Frons dumped her very early on in his run and replaced her with JHC--who was obviously a complete yes man to Frons (I guess the only real positive I can say for her is the cast seemed to like her?)

[EricMontreal22]

The format of the show--product pimping aside, could actually have potential. If theyinvolve more creative people, like headwriters in the questions part, etc.

It was nice to meet Jennifer Pepperman former ATWT director, one of my favs, on screen. I had no idea what she looked like. It was great putting a face with a name. I always pictured her as a blonde..lol

[JONNYSBRO]

The exec producers and head writers of these shows have a lot more leeway on prospect park.

More AMC is up

http://www.hulu.com/watch/488652

Debbi Morgan & Eric Nelsen are the guests, plus were getting a BTS look @ the red carpet premiere ;-).

[AllMyDaysatGH]

I LIVE FOR DEBBI! "Listen, if that big guitar didn't cover everything, WOW!"

The editors need to get it together. They spelled Eric's name wrong! It's "Nelsen" not "Nelson"

There was an Erica Kane shout out & trivia

Cady McClain & Julia Barr were also interviewed in between shooting a scene. Good stuff. Cady says they have an intense story coming up that will knock our socks off.

They talked to some hair/makeup people. The head hair guy demonstrated some of his work on Sal (Cassandra). Sal was looking like she didn't want to be bothered. LOL.

OMG. They showed some previews for next week. Looks good!

I would say it's worth the watch!

[KMan101]

I was going to watch to support it but wasn't really rushing to do so LOL, after last week. This one doesn't sound bad. I'll check it out.

[DavidsMuse]

They heard us: sneak peeks for next week AND NO LIFESTYLE SEGMENTS!
