Pine Charles

Yes, but poor Natalie was finally rescued...

Kate Collins in the early ‘90s on AMC.

Thanks!! I’d love to see the whole episode. Eddie was so evil, and raped Brooke shortly after this.

Yes!! Thank-you!!

Yes, she’s fine. Just fine. NOT Daytime’s answer to Meryl Streep. Some of her acting with the other alters was cringe-worthy, IMO.

•I never enjoyed the David Hayward character on AMC, nor Finola Hughes. •Erika Slezak isn’t THAT great - and didn’t deserve all those Emmys.

Can you link that interview again?? Btw, and this has nothing to do with her comments regarding Ruth, but I find McKinsey annoying and overrated.

Not just AMC...but the show is mentioned a lot, LOL.

I believe the story was that Erica had a psychotic break after she miscarried her baby with Phillip Brent, and Phil and Mona had her committed to Oak Haven.

1975

Erica did not interact with Palmer Cortlandt until 1983, when she and Palmer became friends in their joint effort to bring down Lars Bogard. Erica did not interact with Liza Colby at all until the mid-‘90s, when Liza became station manager of WRCW (where Erica’s talk show was being produced). After Erica moved back to Pine Valley from NYC into Linden House, she didn’t seem to interact much with Dixie (even though Dixie was Palmer’s niece and Opal’s daughter-in-law, who were both good friends of Erica’s).

I believe they tried going there in the early 2000s w/ Laura and Bianca.

“I will NOT have her piggy, little face on the cover of MY magazine!!” 🤣🤣

AMC didn’t really start to rise in popularity/ratings until around 1972-1973, with Erica’s abortion storyline, the Jason Maxwell murder trial (Mona Kane did it), as well as a presumed-dead Phillip returning from Vietnam shortly thereafter.

Yes. While I feel Susan Lucci is a better actress than most people give her credit for, the quest to get her an Emmy sometimes prevented more worthy actresses of obtaining nominations - particularly Kate Collins, IMO. Kate should’ve been nominated for her work in 1987-1988 (and WON, IMO), as well as nominated for her work in 1991-1992.

Remember when Erica went to jail for insider trading, and all the inmates LOVED her?? ”This is America - Freedom for Erica!!” 🤣 And then that hip-hop boyband serenaded her from the yard or whatever, with their “Erica Kane” track?? I have to admit - I sort of enjoyed the “train wreck” aspect of it all.... but it was such a stark contrast to when Erica went to prison in 1983 for shooting Kent Bogard - and the inmates LOATHED her, with her cellmate, Kathy Bates (‘Belle’), tormenting her daily. Much more realistic.
