Rumor: AMC to LA?
Daytime Confidential is reporting that some of their insiders say that ABC is considering moving the production of All My Children from New York to Los Angeles, where network partner General Hospital is currently filmed. One insider cites a reason as the cost of breaking down sets, and in LA permanent sets will be used. The network is said to be trying to keep making the shows profitable, and may be willing to lose a few stars because of the move." If this happens, will the stars agree to commute, or will big NY based vets Susan Lucci, and Michael E. Knight, or even perhaps the NY based Alicia Minshew not agree to move?Or could they agree to commute, and even LA based ex-cast members such as Rebecca Budig agree to return? A DC insider also reports that at one point, One Life to Live was being considered to move to Florida, but the vet cast refused. This move would perhaps save ABC's three soaps for the time being, as earlier it was rumored that a talk show, hosted by Aisha Tyler would be added to the ABC daytime lineup, but ABC denied the report. Also, even though GH has the lowest ratings, if cancellation were to happen, it is historically the network's most popular soap, while AMC is considered the legacy soap in which longtime stars are identified out of the soap, which OLTL never created those types of stars. Well I'll say about the soaps what I say about the daytime veterans, anything to save 'em!
