I miss PineValley so much!!! I hope you all are well! At least executives are hinting about maybe rebooting some of the best-known former soaps. There might be. But rights to both shows reverted back to ABC in , and with luck the increase in ratings and fan response to documentaries like The Story of Soaps might just get them thinking along a new — but also familiar — path.

The Incredible Dr. I don't know really what to say about the cancellation. I feel that some of the actors on this particular soap can't really act. One of them is Erin Hershey-Presley.
I really don't feel like her acting is superb and Lynn Herring, who's been a veteran soap star for years is lacking in substance too.
Maybe the writing for them is too teeniebobpish. I guess they need to shoot some pilots and show them to test audiences. I feel like bad acting and indecent writing is the reason why Port Charles is being cancelled. What's next, General Hospital? Ever since the show adapted its "book" format, the show has improved dramatically, both in writing, acting and quality.
No longer the little stepsister of "General Hospital," the show has molded its own image by creating daring, supernatural plots that engage viewers. And the book format allows the plots to move at a fast pace, as opposed to the slow payoff for other daytime shows. The best book by far has been "Tainted Love" which introduced Michael Easton as vampire Caleb, but not Easton's back in the new book, "Naked Eyes," which so far looks promising. If you haven't checked out this show yet, I dare you to watch for week and not get hooked!
About four years later, the format switched to story arcs, and vampires, angels, demons, and werewolves abounded. Lucy Coe, one of the long-running characters on GH became a vampire slayer on this show. One of the characters on this show was Livvie Locke, who was the long-lost daughter of Kevin Collins.
Alison Barrington, granddaughter of Port Charles' society maven Amanda Barrington was also a presence here. Unfortunately, this show was cancelled way before its time. Show axed: Actors relieved GodsStar 4 September It took only moments for me to formulate an opinion of this show.
Once again, the brilliance of acting must suffer to mind dead scripts geared toward the key demographic that is, painfully, thirty and under. Soap opera actors are a breed apart. The actors here are no different. I can see that if they were given a REAL script to work with they could be extremely dynamic. This re-treaded idea that was sorry when it was "Xena", which was borrowed from the Hercules sagas [The Legendary Journeys] [[garbage], which borrowed from old Sinbad story lines that was campy GARBAGE back in the sixties and seventies.
The actors must be positively relieved to not have to be chained to this foolishness any longer. This generation believes that since there's about one hundred years of recorded media to "borrow" from that they don't have to "waste time" by thinking up something NEW.
This rubbish hit me in the gut as hard as when I heard the singer Little Romeo, "borrow" from Biz Markie's song "Just a Friend" a few years ago. That "artist" had borrowed from a song barely a decade old. How soon will I find myself looking kids with tall, box cut haircuts and "Cross Colors" yet again?
I await rebuttals against what I've written here, no doubt presented in ALL CAPS, run together sentences, ridiculous grammar and lots of sentences using lowercase " i " to refer to themselves with. You'd think a generation raised on computers would know how the spell check function works on their word suites but then again, who do you copy THAT from? This show was screwed from the begining!
I hate to say this, but from its inception in , the show had been screwed. The show was supposed to take place in Brooklyn However; that fell through, so GH decided to use its other "silly couple" Kevin and Lucy. One problem Kevin and Lucy were a comic relief, twice a week attraction during their days on GH. On PC, they got old very rapidly. The other problem with the show from the inception was the interns. From the get go, all but two of them, Chris and Eve were dull and disgustingly sweet!
Some, such as Karen, were recasts, with little resemblance to the original Karen on GH, because of this, I didn't buy her as Karen, or care about the character! Its interesting because of all the original interns LEFT on the show, only Chris and Eve are still there after 5 years! The writers quickly caught onto these first two "inceptional problems" and spent the second two months trying to fix them! They killed off some of the initial interns, anyone remember Jake?
In the process of the infamous "K'eve" they completely destroyed the character of Kevin! Eventually the show deteriorated into "psychic espionage" at which point I gave up and never looked back! I'm glad I did too, because later on they imported some teens for a "teen storyline" then "vampires. Eddie Matos Before I ever saw an episode of this show, I thought it was dumb that they were doing supernatural things, especially having a vampire on the show.
But a friend convinced me to watch it and boy was I hooked. Even through all the supernatural things they did, it was the classic elements that made the show so good. Wonderful acting, although they wasted their best talent which most soaps do actually in Nolan North as Chris Ramsey; strong ties of human relationships including a heavy importance of family and friends, which isn't really seen often on soaps but adds so much.
If ever a soap did supernatural the right way, it was this show. The later arcs got a little tired but their "classic" time, being the arcs of Tainted Love, Tempted, and Miracles Happen, kick butt. Kudos to ALL the actors in these three arcs; they made this show what it was. The last arc was promising though, and rumors had it that the next planned arc would have shown more of the Ramsey brothers together, which I always ached to see more of.
I love familial relationships, especially between siblings, and tire of seeing soaps use the dead plot of ruining family relationships over love.
That's why I was happy to see Chris and Jack's relationship do just the opposite. It's things like this that made me love the show so much and value so much the tapes I have of this show. I just want to say one more thing about the acting: what a superb ensemble cast.
