Vlad sounds like a Marick and Yuri could be Dimirti

Van Hansis is in his 30’s and he was amazing as a Russian in “Nikita” last year. He would be my pick.

Im starting to wish PP would have just left the shows off the air.Most of the cast members arent coming back, & AMC is going to try & attract a younger audience, so the vibe of the show will resemble nothing what it once did.

Please be Dimitri and Edmund!

They are ‘reoccurring’ so could be the start of a story..
AMC was dead in the water its’ last years.. (and I am a 30yr fan of AMC)
And now it has a bare bones cast of originals so I see many changes and that is not a bad thing. It needs a ton of modernizing especially now that it is on the internet were there is no censoring.. However Agnes will keep things a family rating.

In my mind; there is no actual AMC any longer.. It died with its’ cancellation and I am looking forward to new stories and a newer cast along with how many they get from the original cast.. and Opal (love her) and Dixie characters will not do it “)
So far; Hayward, Cara and her brother are the only good characters- imo 🙂
I do believe PP will use AMC to use their stories/ideas from the soap they were starting to produce for the net/TOLN when the OL and AMC became available to them. and used instead .

I really wish the writers the best of luck with the AMC reboot. The writers for the last few years of the network version left the show in shambles, and I’m not sure it’s really salvageable.

Perhaps Yuri is a recast Anton! I’d love to see Vlad/Dimitri too! 🙂

First I would like all the old cast back. Then if they can’t come now, I would like a space saved for when they could come. Then if all else fails, bring on new characters. I really need to see all my friends and family back on the show. Somehow PP needs to try their best to contact and secure all the previous cast members. There are some out there still waiting to be contacted. I know, I watch their post. Thanks PP for this opportunity. Still need to see Tad, Jackson, Jake, Krystal, and many others before bringing on a bunch of new people.

It sound stupid and another mafia storyline.

It does sound intriguing, Micheal. I actually enjoy the casting suspense, and i hope the end results make me feel the same way when we finally see AMC again.

Anton recast? And maybe Sam gray?

Adam, Erica, Liza, and Tad!

I don’t know but I think I like it. I liked Aiden ! Although I think Aiden was from Australia.

Sounds like Dimitri and his son Anton (who wad once married to Kendall).

i need bianca back .

I rarely watched AMC when it has on network, but just noticing the picture that goes with this article- am I seeing things but from a distance doesn’t it look like a shot of woman’s cleavage with the tile All My Children written across it? I know the old title of AMC was on the front cover of a book, and when I looked closer, I realized it was a still a book, just shot from the side– did anyone else see a woman’s evening gown with her boobs showing instead of a book? If so, it is pretty slick use of the iconic book image to make a sexy new statement about this new show- this is definitely not your grandmother’s AMC

Can someone confirm for me that AMC & OLTL will definetely be free to watch on line and that there are not any hidden fees. I just want to be sure! I went to Hulu and it says
a month & $7.99 a month…. That’s why I am asking if it is going to be FREE to watch OLTL& AMC .

So far the cast for AMC doesn’t excite me, but only so far (with the exception of Dr. Hayward 🙂

Cara Castillo
Griffin Castillo
DR. David Hayward
Zach Slater
Opal Cortlandt
Angie Hubbard
Jesse Hubbard
Dixie
JR- recast
Cassandra Foster – recast
casting Vlad and Yuri

I can’t imagine what type stories will be written for that cast..

I think it’d be better if some of the bigger names from AMC were integrated into OLTL. It doesn’t seem to me like AMC can make it if they don’t manage to get Susan Lucci and David Canary and Michael Knight. I want both reboots to be successes, but I truly believe OLTL has the better chance.

We won’t know what we get until we get.

When Agnes Nixon gave us ALL MY CHILDREN in 1970 it was modern, radical, new. Now, with a new way to see the show (on line) and being in a different world, it seems right AMC take the lead among daytime drama in reinventing itself (as many of us of this age do!). The new AMC will not be the old AMC, but there will be enough to give us a foundation for new stories and journeys. My hometown is not like it was. Core families and businesses are gone. Annual traditions have been lost or changed into something else. It happens in Pine Valley, too.

I do hope the new team can capture the spirit of Nixon’s storytelling in AMC’s heyday. The way she and her team created characters, focused on families, addressed social issues, and took time to really make us engaged.

The final years of AMC were disappointing. Not often does one have opportunity to fix things, so let’s be good fans and support this. If it does not work, then well, it does not work. But let’s not go into it without optimism.

Where are the open casting call?

There have been about four gals playing Colby Chandler and at least four actors that have played JR Chandler and four actors have played Tad Martin (although of course Michael E. Knight is most associated with the role) – I’m a longtime fan of AMC and I’m really happy the show is coming back, but we all have to accept the fact that this will be
a new inception. The actors can’t just drop what they are doing, especially since a good number of them already relocated to the West Coast when the show demanded it. Recasting is not easy, but folks, this is a TV show with characters played by ACTORS. If they want to maintain a semblence of the show’s former self, and have some kind of continuity and flow, then recasting is their only option. Gradually they will introduce new characters, but many characters have come and gone through Pine Valley, just as some people come and go in our real lives. I know we all have our favorites, I mean I really can’t see another Erica Kane, honestly except Susan Lucci – but, if we are to accept a relaunch of ALL MY CHILDREN, then we will also have to accept some changes.

Even with the Easern European sounding names there is no way these roles would be Dimitri and Edmund. Remember the show is jumping 5 years into the future. That would mean Dimitri would be in his 60s and Edmund in his 50s. When they were on 20 years ago they were in their 40s and 30s then.

I’m super excited for this new version of AMC, I watched the show for the better part of 30 years. The idea of an original Internet series is very interestinting to me also, I’ve never watched one before. I don’t know how successful they are, I can’t imagine they get many viewers unless they have an established star or are a continuation of a previously broadcast story. So AMC would seem to have both working in its favor……

As for “Vlad” & “Yuri”, I would love to see Dimitri & Anton return. Anton could be recast ( he was on such a short time), but how great would it be to have Michael Nader return. He was such a strong, beloved character. Dimitri could also bring a child that he and Alex had, perhaps a grandchild also (son of Anton’s). So many possibilities here, some crossover stuff with Anna on GH, generate some interest for webcast.

My thought is that you can’t just introduce a bunch of young characters & expect people to watch. Soaps are not the same as Downtown Abby. People have a 30-40 year connection with them, but also a sentimental one. Their grandmother got them hooked, they watched all through high school, they scheduled their college classes around their favorite soap, they named their children after their favorite character……

So I guess what I’m trying to say is, PLEASE respect the rich, wonderful, unique history of AMC & use it to your advantage. And best of luck! I’ll be watching.
