In a weird way, AMC/McTavish having Natalie stuck in that damn well felt like a precursor to Reilly’s Buried Alive story. 

Yes, but poor Natalie was finally  rescued...

Kate Collins in the early ‘90s on AMC.

Love all the pictures. Tara is so pretty to me.
 

A almost 3 minute clip from ‘79 Starring Kelly and Eddie and…..

 

Thanks!!

I’d love to see the whole episode.

Eddie was so evil, and raped Brooke shortly after this.

Lol, okay. I think she’s pretty great, specifically in the very limited amount of her work as Iris I’ve been able to see/hear. But it’s very interesting that you say that, because not long ago I was thinking about how I read that she was the GOAT before I’d ever seen her perform and I wondered how that had influenced my opinions of her work. I was raised on ABC and when I started branching out, Marj was Alex. The first time I saw Beverlee was at the Paley Center in a ‘70s episode of AW. I had read about her voice so I was trying to keep it in my head now that I’d finally heard it (this was before YouTube and me buying dvds from Eddie). My mental touchstone for her voice was June Foray as Witch Hazel.

I think he meant this one @amybrickwallace:

She's a fine actress, but shouldn't have won in 1995 - Leslie Charleson deserved to win that year.

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.

I still love Ruth Warrick, but Beverlee McKinsey's account of her has forever changed my view of the AMC legend lol. I mean, I knew she was eccentric. Susan Lucci said RW used to run around the studio in a mink coat flashing people. She comes across as so composed and together in interviews.

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.

ERica was certainly the marrying kind, such a serial bride

Due to the anniversary is anyone watching a classic episode or 2, if so what is it?

How did AMC write off Erica when Susan Lucci went on maternity leave? Neither of her pregnancies were written into the show, from what I understand.

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).

By the way ever imagined If two of their children got together? they would be so desperate they would probably work together to separate them 

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

@Soaplovers Nah i don't believe in that logic. Brooke lose so much she stop being true competition. There needs to be a Equal balance between the two. this clip doesn't work with a loser.

 

@Josephthe beginning starts at 6:15 unfortunately the full episode has been pulled down. Something told me to download those videos last year.

No sign of any other ABC soaps (AMC,OLTL, DS, AWA)

 

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.

You know it's the truth.

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.

Susan didnt deserve those many nominations anyway.  Kate Collins wasn't nominated once and thats a crime.

I did like how Erica ended up at OAK Haven..with Annie pointing out how holier than thou Erica was..considering she committed the same crime.  And even remarked 'and I'm the crazy one' after finding out about Janet and Erica burying Kinder.

I think the Phantom of the Opera mask story in 1999 was the start of the Erica not having any depth.

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.
