AMC: The great Jill Larson GONEl More to follow

This is just sick. AMC without Opal? That's INSANITY. Seriously, AMC is dangerously heading into OLTL territory (i.e. when you tune in, you find yourself saying "Who the [!@#$%^&*] are these people?") Why is it that all these so-called daytime "geniuses" can't see that familiarity is immensely important? Hell, sometimes I tune into DAYS just on the off chance I'll see Alice or Maggie. same with ATWT's Lucinda, Kim, Bob, & Nancy. Opal, Palmer, & Stuart fit the bill over at AMC for that. There's absolutely no reason to dump a vet like Jill Larson, who probably makes a modest wage when compared to other AMC talent. And to slap her in the face and not even give a definitive offer of recurring status- COMPLETELY DESPICABLE. Seriously, I think an AMC boycott needs to happen- organize the fans & tune out of a week. Or a month. Or a year. Or forever. But turn the [!@#$%^&*] channel cuz it's a crap-fest over there, run by bald, fat, disgusting bearded men eating Gyros with cheese hanging from their chin. And if you think that's a gross picture, tune in to AMC the day you see Palmer, Opal, Brooke, Danielle and Jackson removed from the credits and replaced by Colby, Annie, Kate, nuJamal, and Colby's hot girl posse. :blink: What the [!@#$%^&*] is going on over there? Susan Lucci, open your damn Pie-Hole for once.

That statement made me LMAO..... :lol:

It's true though Susan does need to speak out about the state the show is in, AMC is getting to be like OLTL (which I watch every so often) where you can tell from the actors and actresses demeanors that they aren't happy doing what they are doing......If that makes sense.....

This [!@#$%^&*] sucks ass!

Sorry for the harsh language, but this is one of the stupidest moves ABC daytime could make. Opal is one of their most famous characters who should have been used more, especially when JR nearly killed Kendall (since JR was raised as her grandson and Kendall is her best friend's daughter). What a dumbass decision! :angry:

This is horrible. I agree Steve, this [!@#$%^&*] sucks ass and is a dumbass decision. Jill Larson(Opal) should STAY on AMC and BE ON CONTRACT. Also with Jamal being brought back, Tonya Pinkins should stay on contract as well as Livia.

I sure in the hell don't want James Mitchell(Palmer) to be next but I'm afraid he just may be.

AMC does NOT need to axe Sydney Penny(Julia), her return was botched but I love her and Julia & Jamie are a cute couple but I think Julia has more potential with Josh (whose also more her age). I like Alec Musser(Del) and want him to stay and am interested in a Del/Amanda pairing. I also want more airtime for Terri Ivens(Simone), I love her and she's one of the hottest women on AMC.

AMC should axe most (if not all) of the Laverys-----I cannot stand Jonathan (although Jeff Branson is a very good actor), also I could care less about boring Connie Fletcher as boring Erin. I sometimes like Ryan, sometimes cannot stand him and even hate him at times, so Cameron Mathison can go too. Also Aidan Devane has no ties to the show, so Aiden Turner also needs to be axed, unless you pair him with Simone. I think Aiden should go to GH. I also wouldn't mind Bobbie Eakes(Krystal) being axed, maybe kill off Krystal. I think I might even drop Leven Rambin as Lily, who's also now as irritating as hell as Jonathan, her hubby?!?!

Well [!@#$%^&*] - That seriously pisses me off. :( Doesn't really make sense to be honest. But I unfortunately believe this is what we have to expect from soaps - especially during these damn summer months. The industry is killing itself by taking chances and making changes like this though.

    • Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. It is odd she wasn't asked back. Maybe they just gave up.  Harley/Philip is one of those relationships which lingered on longer than it should have. I never got the sense the show had any great interest in them together beyond the first six months or so, and there was little to no chemistry between them after that point.

    • I am just so happy with the new writing. Everything feels so much more mature. The connections between plots and characters reminds me of the eighties, and I just plain old LIKE everybody. I very much enjoyed Philip's apology tour with his two exes, and both of them being gracious to him. This version of Philip is so interesting, very flawed, but trying to do better, and I do believe he wanted the brother bond with Xander very much and is hoping to get that back. Speaking of brothers, we got Xander's first ever mention of his other brother, Bo. And how interesting that Titan is also working on a cure for sepsis. If the one with Dr Russell falls through we have a back up plan. And the seamless writing continued with Sarah trying to get out of a conference and Kayla needing to get Dr Russell out of town, I love when things just make sense like that. Shout out to Xander with cucumbers on his eyes lol And under the new regime I am not hating Stalex. I think this couple was just hammered by Ron by constantly making them sleep with other people. It was hard to root for them when the writer didn't care about them as a pairing, just about getting Rob naked. I am happy to see what happens here too. Stefan got a get well card to EJ? I wonder if it had a coded HELP ME in the message. Glad Kayla turned him down. She should never forget how he used Steve as a pawn back in the day. Characters are actually remembering this stuff these days.
    • That happens sometimes on cbs/paramount. Just refresh the page and it should work.
    • In a 1997 SOD article, Ehlers mentions that she was asked to return several times, but was surprised she wasn't asked to return for her "mother's" funeral.  This was when she returned for the 60th Anniversary event. They were a really popular pairing for a few years ago.  As an older viewer, it seemed strange seeing Beth as the odd one out, but 1998 Beth was a totally different character.  She was written as a manipulative, vixen.

    • It seems obvious based on the initial material that Korte was going to take another foolish run at Jason and Carly a la 2021 and hoped Mulcahey being back would make it work, as he wrote such famous material for Steve, Sarah, etc. I think a couple good dialogue scenes came out of them together very early on, but there was never any denying that Steve and Laura have never had and will never have any romantic chemistry, plus the audience doesn't want it. So they pivoted to her with that useless dayplayer (Brennan) and now here they all are, spinning their wheels doing nothing of value on the show. I do think PM had planned to do much more with Jason's sons and that rivalry/friction, but once he was gone so was Jake. I've rarely seen any of the core mob 3 feel so totally extraneous and directionless on the canvas. Not that I mind. Anything that makes Jason easier to get rid of works for me.
    • I just edited the 1998 SOD Awards & Laura Wright won Best New Character for Cassie on GL. Also Philip & Harley won something of some name for them as a couple & when they finished saying their effusive thanks at the mic, Grant picked Beth up & literally threw her over his shoulder & walked backstage that way. I mean, it's great that Beth Ehlers is a good sport, right?
