I loved it! I thought the newbies mixed in well with the vets and have a lot of potential.

It was great! High class production and lots of intrigue to watch to find out what happened 5 years ago. Good mix of known vs. unknown stars and characters. When I tried to watch via this link, it got stuck, with only the audio playing. So I went to Hulu and it started part way in. There may be some glitches that way, but I sure hope they do well so they’re able to keep going. Now to go check out One Life to Live.

AMC did the cover up thing not really telling what happened 5 yrs ago, may throw some off. The younger ones did great. I see their potential. As for OLTL seeing Danni doing the drug thing really shook me up, but it does make sense why being Tea is off thinking about the baby she lost, and the supposed loss of her husband Victor Lord. Regardless to say we need some info on what happened not just its past lets move on.

All My Children Episode 1 was really good,imo! Simply cannot wait for the showing tomorrow.
It’s looking to be quite exciting,the way it use to be! Thanks PP and TOLN.
You’ve made a lot of people happy!
WOW! Almost forgot to thank HULU! Thanks to Hulu….. 🙂

Both were well done. The writing and direction (such as one character having problems keeping his towel on; another conversation about the daughter of a lesbian being a “vagitarean” or does she “like meat”; the online format allowed these writers to let their creative juices explode – a less than subtle middle finger to network censors!) The pace and story lines were great (AMC may have been a little too cheesey in the dialogue, but they have to explain the last 5 years in that dialogue). The end of the first OLTL was BRILLIANT! If this continues to develop; it may make other soap producers to take notice – “what the hell do we need the networks for???”

I haven’t watched the show in many years, but did watched the finale. I can say that I was impressed and loved both shows. I am very impressed at the high quality HD and the appearance of the sets. So far, both AMC & OLTL are in the Top 5 on Hulu and I-Tunes. I know this will be a success and very confident both shows will be on TV in no time. I thought it was going to be a little over 20 mintues of content, when in fact, both shows had close to 30 minutes of content, with only 2 minutes of commercials. Very impressive, compared to an hour format, which is only 36 minutes of content after commercials. Can’t wait to see both shows tomorrow!! Great job Prospect Park, keep up the good work.

AMC is back, it is like family coming home.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Prospect Park.

So far, this is a great opening. It will take getting used to, as with all the new faces-I am thrilled our soap families are home. I hope that as time goes on, we welcome many more faces back. (Amc-Erica, Annie, Jake, Jamie, Jackson, ect and oltl-john, starr, christian, oliver, fish, ect). One life to life had the mystery, which it has always had more of-and amc has that homey feeling.

WELCOME BACK!

I enjoyed both shows, and believe they were well written. I just hope Tad is not dead on amc. And Victor raises hell on OLTL. I also notice joe is in the credits, but no Ruth. Perhaps Ruth was the one killed. And as for people saying the shows were not short, did any of you watch the shows on the ABC website without commercials? Each episode was about 35-38 minutes in length. In reality, you only lost about 5-8 minutes. If you don’t believe me, watch an episode of GH on the ABC website, and see exactly how long the soap is with out the ads and commercials.

OMG…what are you people drinking? This is so bad that I am actually at a loss for words. And to think that Hulu Plus wants what? $7.95/mo for this. Ha, my toilet is a better investment for that money. Where did they get Miranda and AJ. AJ is a farkel and a bad actor and Miranda, well, whoever told this rather homely girl she could act. I still love David Canary, Darnell Williams, Debbie Morgan, Vincent Inizarry and, of course, Jill Larson. The rest need to find new careers. This totally stinks!!! And I am being kind in saying that. I said I would give it a try and I did. It did not disappoint. The rest of you who love it, well, GET A LIFE. This is even too bad for mandatory shut-in’s. I am truly speechless after what I have just both seen and said. Good bye, farewell, and I’m positive, in my heart of hearts, you should all start pounding the proverbial pavement again!!!

First of all…let’s all give a hearty shout out that our shows are back! We have to watch them differently, some favourites are no longer here, and characters are able to curse liberally now, but our shows back, so let’s focus on what is actually happening!

The opening sequence was good to feature Brooke and Adam, two of the show’s most iconic and recognizable characters after Erica. We got most of our favourites first, like Opal, and Jesse and Angie as well. It was a fairly lackluster opening, but one that felt like just another day in Pine Valley, which was okay too.

The dialogue in many places came off as forced, stilted, and awkward. We know that there is a mystery dating from five years ago. But why, on this random day 5 years later, would everyone in town be cryptically referring to “that day/incident/tragedy 5 years ago.” It just seems there is a more subtle, less heavy-handed way to reference whatever happened. It also better be something EARTH-SHATTERING and consequential the way people are talking about it.

I LOVED the location shooting! I hope they do some of that regularly. It really made
Pine Valley look and feel like the community we grew to love over the years. I wish it wouldn’t have been wasted on newcomers who had a meet-cute. It would have been nice to see Brooke walking out of the newspaper office, and Adam walking out of Chandler Enterprises and seeing THEM walk around the town. Or…seeing Opal meeting her son Pete as he came zooming into downtown Pine Valley. The newbies and location shoots HAVE to be anchored by the veterans and solid writing if we are to care.

The teen set looks promising, although again…dialogue. Soap writers rarely ever get teen dialogue right. Instead of trying to be hip and modern, they just need to write them as REAL people. I also find this new trend of tweens/teens seeing each other naked or in compromising positions very disturbing. General Hospital did it with Molly seeing Rafe in a towel, and it happened again here with Miranda and Ace. These teen actors are charismatic and given a good story, could soar. I say let the writers watch some episodes of the original BEVERLY HILLS 90210. The characters were all about their school functions, and dating, and exams, and dances, and hanging out…they weren’t just horned up, messed-up, angst-filled pregnancies waiting to happen. They were REAL teens with TEENAGE concerns.

The new Pete Cortlandt is promising. I wish they had brought back Colby for his romantic interest. They could reconnect after years apart…they are both legacy characters whose romance got short-shrift then premature termination on the old AMC. It will be nice having him and Opal in the thick of things.

And good ol’ David Hayward…fresh out of jail with vengeance on his mind. The more things change, the more they stay the same. LOL.

It was a first episode, and while far from perfect, it feels like All My Children. As time goes on, and the stories crystallize, and more favourites return, it will get better and better! Let’s all keep faithfully watching and keep our shows on the airwaves, any airwaves, where they belong!

I was disappointed in this. It wasn’t so horrible I hated it but was missing so many things. All My Children without Susan Lucci was already a big minus

I didn’t dislike the new characters and like that they tied them to core families. However maybe with time I will feel more invested in them.

Out of the 2 I’d say I enjoyed One Life To Live more because I felt it had more happening and went faster. This seemed a bit slow.

However it is only day 1 so still time to decide on liking or disliking the online reboots

I love that the cast is energetic and the sets are beautiful but the writing disappointed me.

I LOVED the first episode of AMC. It feels like the AMC that I once knew and loved. Yes, this episode did have a lot of newbies, but they’re tied to characters I care about so it works perfectly. The teen characters act and talk like real teens and I like how social media was brought into the mix. It felt very realistic.

I loved that the show opened with Brooke and Adam and I’m very intrigued by the shocking events that took place five years ago. I wanna know who David shot! Is it tied to the incident Brooke has nightmares about? I can’t wait to find out. And where’s Cassandra? What happened to her? I look forward to finding out.

What threw me off a little bit were the two bad words used in the episode, but I knew that was coming and it’s not like I was shocked by that. Most teens nowadays curse so that felt realistic as well. The Cara and David scene was risque, which I don’t think I’ve seen anything like that on a soap for quite some time.

Didn’t like the opening credits, but I’ll overlook that. Perhaps it’ll grow on me. I’m just glad that AMC is BAAAAACK!! Long live ALL MY CHILDREN!!!

I was disappointed that they didn’t really answer the question that everyone has been waiting to get answered for nearly two years. I had more questions after watching it. That was disappointing. I thought they could have done better for the first episode.
