I am very saddened to hear that AMC is moving their production to LA. I have been a dedicated viewer for over 40 yrs of all three ABC's soaps. Though I don't get a chance to go to the city, I have had a long time dream of one day going to the studio to meet the actors/actresses. I guess my dream never come true.

Will someone please tell me why AMC is moving to the "left" coast? Isn't Pine Valley supposed to be in PA, with OTL close be? I guess this will be the end of crossovers, which got me to watch OTL. LA just doesn't compare to NY!

How far in advance are shows taped? Alicia Minshew is still showing no signs of a baby bump!She has only a few months to go in her pregnancy! She's so tiny that you'd think she would show early! I loved her interview in Soap Opera Digest. It was so heartfelt. Alicia's openess to share such personal and meaningful news with her fans is a testament to what a special & caring actress/person she is. I'm so happy for Alicia,her husband Richie & their families.

I am upset by the move of AMC to LA and OLTL to the AMC studio because I have visited NYC and both studios and OLTL actors were the easiest ones to get to meet and talk to. I enjoyed every encounter.My visits were on my birthday and to meet the stars and have my picture taken with them was some of my best birthdays ever.Also, on my 38th b.day I saw Agnes Nixon the creater of both shows outside OLTL studios.I am truly going to miss those oppertunities.

I want to know which actors are not going to make the move to California. I think this can hurt them in the long run.

did someone have a nightmare & come up with this dumb idea? you would have thought the powers that be, would have known that this will totally hurt all the actors and all of us faithful watchers.

AMC -tell me why the writers keep writing in that the fathers claim the baby. Who carried the child nine months? who endured the labor pains. The mother that's who. And question -- how can a mother kidnap their own child? Please give David Hayard something to do besides trying to claim a baby.
