ABC: ‘All My Children’: Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos Developing Primetime Version


Recommended Posts

With Covid it’s hard to say, but typically May is when they announce what shows get picked up for the folllowing season. Due to Covid it was a lot different thing year because they weren’t able to film pilots like they normally would. So in a normal world we’d be hearing about casting the next couple months because they’d have to film a pilot, but who knows? It’s possible the show could get picked up with no pilot, or even turned down without a pilot. CW commissioned a Dark Shadows reboot and declined it just based on the scripts.

Prior to COVID, pilots typically filmed from January-April in order to be considered for a series order leading up to upfronts in May. However, it's possible that many pilots will film in March or April, and we won't know anything until well after the typical upfronts if the Los Angeles situation doesn't get in check soon. Everything generally stands on casting right now. If we hear NOTHING on casting between now and late February, the show will have to really get on the ball to get any consideration for the fall 2021 schedule/season.

@ErrolThank you for that info! I’m hoping everything goes as well as things can and we get casting info throughout Jan and Feb. I feel that’ll do a lot to comfort fans and get them excited. Especially if some of the announcements are people we know and love. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed.

Kelly's wheels are turning when Ralph says Cobra Kai is a karate soap opera.  Cobra Kai is a great example of taking existing source material and using it in a way to create new stories for a sequel while still paying homage to the original.

May-June typically but we don’t know if ABC will pick the show up based on a script or ask for a pilot. Due to Covid it’s hard to put a time table, but at least at that time we should have an update if they decide to pick it up, dump it or redevelop for the following year.

    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
    • Tessa clarified a few years ago that she is gay and not bi.   I find it offensive that the show is teasing her with Daniel. Mariah told Sharon she went emotionally/mentally to a dark place, and while she was out of town on business she got drunk and did something bad.  But Mariah didn't say she cheated.  The show wants us to assume that, but she didn't say that.  She could have taken drugs or who knows what.  All we know is that she feels shame and doesn't want Tessa to know.  Mariah says the inner darkness is due to the longterm influence of Ian in the past, and she hasn't healed from that. With a *good* writer, we could have organic conflict in the Teriah marriage, without cheating.  But JG isn't a good writer.  
    • Was that before his accident? I think it was. Most of us have never seen him before it happened.
