Early On Prospect Park was able to secure Frank Valentini & Ron Carlivati To Helom OLTL Thru PP. At AMC Ive heard that PP does not want Julie Currthers to be EP cause she cant keep the show under budget. There are also some actors who will not sign if Julie stays at AMC. Some AMCers wont sign I hear until they know the new EP and HW. PP wants to keep Lorriane broderick as HW But ABC is not quick to Let LB out of her 3 year deal with ABC Daytime which she signed last April. Those facts are part of the reason AMC actors are unsure as well as the time commitment from PP. Some are just burnt out over ABC's treatment of not only them but ABC as a whole.
Over at OLTL with FV and RC on Board, it was easier to sign actors IMHO because they knew who was leading the ship. Pluss even though some fans may not like Frank or Ron, they are widely respected by their cast and crew. Its easier for actors to commit when they know who will run the show.
Even though AMC may be on Hold, PP is still looking for A EP. PP has been talking to Veteran Producer/Writer, Gary Tomlin. Tomlin was the one that originally got OLTL Under Budget in 2001 and Got Days Of Our Lives its recent two year pickup. While PP would love to have Lorriane continue as HW, another name being tossed around is Chris Witesell.
Hopefully once PP settles on An EP & HW For AMC they can help get some of the cast to agree to sign on. Frank Valentini in his other role as VP Of Serialized Dramas for PP will also helping with this. Another venue PP could take is to sit down With the EP, HW and Agnes Nixon to look at show history to see who could be brought back to Pine Valley.
AMC is Not Dead, far from it but Its Hiatus has been extended But soon enough we will once again be visiting Pine Valley on a daily basis for years to come.
