Smoke?

We all know by now that I'm over the moon thrilled that Prospect Park plans to relaunch All My Children.  For the last week or so, information has been leaked from various sources regarding actors and actresses signing on, agreements being reached, locations, and budgets.  Amidst all this craziness, nary a word has been spoken of writing.  Please tell me, what is the point of getting everything else lined up if the most important element is missing?  From what I'm hearing, with a launch date fast approaching, nothing is set in stone on this front.  Solid long story is THE ABSOLUTE MOST IMPORTANT component of this genre!  Without it, there is nothing!  Prospect Park is delusional if they think this venture has any chance of being a success at this point!  Am so upset!  I don't know how to feel!  I'll tell you right now, if this has all been smoke and mirrors, with no real plan in place, I'll probably lose my mind.
