B&B: John McCook(Eric) Comments


Recommended Posts

  • Members

John McCook earlier today did a live chat on a B&B related board with his fans. I don't think I'm allowed to give you guys a link to the other site.

To summarise: John talked about:

1. How much he enjoys working with Susan Flannery and Katherine Kelly Lang

2. He and his wife live in the same street as KKL and her family, so they are always meeting up with each other off the set.

3. Eric won't be going back to Stephanie for now, he is in love with Donna

4. B&B are still taping episodes(I guess the writers strike isn't affecting them). John and KKL today taped a whole day of scenes, something top secret JM wouldn't give us any hints about - a Beric reunion of some sort? :o

He's a really nice guy, great with his fans, and he answered everyone's questions!

Thanks JM! B)

Oh I'm glad. There's so much more mileage out of keeping them apart and I would love for Stephanie to get some romance of her own from another source. Brad Bell's biggest mistake is constantly throwing them back together all the time.

The show is never more entertaining than when they're at loggerheads and I've never bought this "great undying love" they have that's only been written as such since like, 1999. It's hollow.

I don't mind Eric and Stephanie being apart for right now but I can't stand the Eric/Donna romance. It gives me the creeps for some reason. I guess it is because I am not a huge fan of Donna's and the love story just isn't working for me. I would like to see Stephanie involved with someone else for a while though. A younger man, perhaps!!!

IMO, Eric/Donna isn't working, because viewers aren't the least bit sympathetic toward Donna. Mac and Rachel, on ANOTHER WORLD, were in a similar situation (wealthy older man, notorious "bad girl" from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks), but neither manipulated the other into the relationship. Harding Lemay allowed Mac and Rachel to become friendly first, and then lovers.

Thank you so much for posting this Evan! He really sounds cool! I wonder what this whole Brooke/Eric thing is about, but I don't think it will be a reunion. That will be too messed up and I doubt Bell would do this when he has Alden to advice him....

    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
