It would be something for AMC to lead to OLTL this time.

 

I think the best part of this is that ABC might finally see some value in something they have ignored and neglected for a long time.  Might even be good for GH in the long run.

 

It is fun to think of Erica on a set that primetime can afford- think of the closet and wardrobes!

I think it's terribly exciting. There's potential there and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Primetime soaps are notoriously difficult but a longtime fan giving it a shot and bringing a daytime soap opera to primetime is not something I'll automatically dismiss. Hopefully, we'll have a good show in our hands.

I loved AMC and will support and watch this proposed program with excitement and an open mind. That being said, I would not get too excited until the proposed revival actually makes it onto the air. A "heightened tone" and a "relationship to soaps"? What does that even mean? It makes me think of the highly-anticipated reimagining of Beverly Hills 90210 which aired last year. What fans hoped it would be, what fans were eager to watch, bore no resemblance to the awful "heightened" new version that we ended up getting. Fans ran away from it in droves. And why not get the great Lorraine Broderick on board as writer? She knows Pine Valley inside and out and various cast members have said she was one of the best scribes AMC ever had. Leo Richardson? From the failure Katie Keene? That does not sound promising. And a cast of "mostly" newbies may be tolerable, but if at least some beloved characters from the original show are not featured regularly (Susan Lucci being only one), fans will be disappointed if not furious. Let's hope for the best but still...brace ourselves.

I think the articles are crediting Leo for "Katy Keene" because it's his most recent or most well-known credit. He actually only wrote one episode of the series. 

 

Here's his IMDB:

EDIT: I see he was a co-producer on "Katy Keene" also, my bad. I still have hope!

I really need to know for whom they are mostly making this. Are they more concerned with targeting old AMC fans (it’s been almost a decade since it left ABC...) or are they focusing on new viewers? That will be a big factor in whether or not we will be pleased.

 

I don’t think we have to worry about a BH90210-style thing too much. That was Tori Spelling and friends wanting to have their own little fun and play pretend. I guess Kelly and Mark could be wanting the same type of thing, but it doesn’t seem likely.

 

It feels weird to not be super excited but we’ve heard so many rumors over the years. Clearly, this has way more traction than anything we’ve heard in the past, but still. I need more.

    • I preferred the Devil spawn delivery of the previous Rachel. She felt like the perfect child of Kristen DiMera and all the dysfunction she’s been through. The new actress is just a sweet girl.
    • I just read a new post where PersonB was quoting personA and I wanted to comment on the post so I started to quote ... with  I myself as the PersonC. I tried to quote what PersonB quoted from PersonA.  It should have been attributed to PersonA, but before submitting the post, I checked to see how it would display, and it automatically misatributed PersonA's words to PersonB.  So I didn't click to submit the post. So yes this is an ongoing glitch. I will need to take the time to go back and find the original post from PersonA to quote that.

    • I think the story in theory is good.  I don't believe Brook Lynn, Lois, and Dante are the right characters for this.  It becomes wild retcon on top of wild retcon. We watched AL's Brook Lynn talk about losing her virginity to Diego.  Dante and BLQ had multiple conversations about them always being friends.  Dante told Lulu nothing ever happened between him and Brook Lynn.  We saw Cody and Brook Lynn meet on the show.  There was no indication they knew one another previously.  Brook Lynn faked an entire pregnancy for Maxie and wasn't triggered at all by her previous pregnancy?  Brook Lynn never once questioned Gio's existence and her family's obsessiveness over him?  I mean, that fact was added like a month ago, but c'mon, Brook Lynn's not that dumb. Am I enjoying the fallout of this story? Yes, but you practically have to throw out everything you knew about Lois, BLQ, and Dante to make it work and that is annoying to me. With Setton in the role we've already lost Brook Lynn's unique style, edge and her singing talent.  Brook Lynn's basically become an entirely different character and not in a good way.
    • The recast really tanked the character.  I was team Sophia when Madelyn Kientz played her.  I liked her more than Holly.  Now Sophia just walks around on the verge of tears looking meek and scared.  I think now that the show has recast and aged Ari, Sophia is probably on her way out.
