AMC: Susan Lucci's 10,000th episode


Recommended Posts

That TV Guide clip is a little misleading because AMC the show will be celebrating 10,000 episodes and yes, Erica is an original character and been around for 10,000 episodes but Susan Lucci hasn't done anywhere near 10,000 episodes because she certainly hasn't been in every episode.

Even in the early 70s Joe was alwyas one of Agnes' tentpole characters--yeah he had more story back then but for the most part he was a b level character--ther emore for support, to talk to other characters, etc. It made sense to focus on him for the anniversay because of all the characters around him but frankly another show devoted to him--and I love joe--woul dbe deadly dull.

Jack's better at that then most were. Though, Dimitri was giving him a run for his money for awhile before he took off. I don't have to justify hating J&E though, it's WELL known fact that I do. Have since I was 10 years old. LOL

As for what they should do for Erica, I still think it should be something wild and crazy. Something to let her be her, and really live up the milestone. Flashbacks are just to subdued for her. Though, I guess if she's out doing something crazy and has flashback's along the way, it could work. :)

Ha, yeah, and it seems to bother every here so [!@#$%^&*] much. Whatever. Enjoy your show. I'm not sure why this place has such a stick up their ass about people not watching and still having opinions. I've never seen it elsewhere. Oh well. SON isn't what it used to be anyway.

Eric, there definitely was a 25th anniversary special on Oprah. Susan, David, Julia, Walt, Jill, John C., Eva, even Kathleen Noone (and I believe Mark La Mura) made an appearance later in the broadcast. Kathleen talked about how fans she encountered on the street went schizo on her, loving her one moment as Ellen, despising her the next as Claudia from Knots.

It was cool because there were a lot of AMC fans in the audience, and they had no idea of just who was going to be there. Oprah introduced the guests one by one, and as she was giving the character breakdown of her next guest, I remember a lady in the background with her hands ready to clap mouthing "Jack". Of course they introduced Susan last (to MUCH applause), and the panel stood on stage while receivng a standing O.

There were plenty of clips and they played a little AMC trivia. Frances Heflin had passed a few months prior, and they showed some special clips of her. When they came back to the studio, Oprah said, "So we miss her", and Susan replied with tears in her eyes, "I miss her every day."

A guy in the audience who looked an awful lot like Richard Culliton stood up and said that one of his favorite memories was of Billy Clyde and Estelle, how Billy would be in the bathroom over a pot on a hot plate on top of the toilet bellowing to Estelle, "Hold on honey, I'm stirrin' the soup!" He thought that was such a fun, peculiar image.

Another lady (rather annoyingly) stood up and went on and on about how everyone tells her she looks like Erica. They'd recently shown the French maid scene with Erica and Jack in the hotel room, and Susan said, "Well do you have a blonde wig?" I think the lady looked more like Victoria Wyndham, and thought maybe she was confused.

    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
    • Martin and Smitty were designed to avoid the stereotype of gay men sleeping around (which to an extent is true). If you recall Martin had a line about them not being open when Chelsea came to talk to him. The producers are walking a very fine line right now and it might not be popular to say but I can understand it. Establishing enough footing to ward off complaints will let them showcase gay characters more openly later.
    • The week was decent. They have started to rotate their stories and finally got a rhythm going. I disagree about them allowing every character to have a moment to shine though. Nicole really hasn't been given anything to do. I completely agree with all this. I adore Doug and hope he makes it through.

    • There was the one appearance in '96, but otherwise, that's correct as far as I know.
    •   It's working fine now.

        Question for the B&B group: I see @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded multiple seasons from Videoland  (in the folders that are to be put away). They are huge folders and difficult to download so I started breaking them down into months but I realized they are by season so for example, Season 4 spans from March 1990 to March 1991. Now I'm wondering where to actually place them, since we have the Full Episodes section divided by year, not seasons. And most of these seasons we already have in full, so these are duplicates. Not sure if it's necessary to keep the older versions. I could just make another new section for Seasons, so the main folders would be "Behind the Scenes and Interviews," "Clips," "Full Episodes," "Full Seasons," "Music CDs," and "photo archive Marquise" but I'm not sure that really makes sense. Also wondering since we have almost every full episode now if "Clips" can be deleted in its entirety, as it's nearly 300GB.
    • CBS moving Murder, She Wrote from Sunday to Thursday was straight up sabotage. Les Moonves knew exactly what he was doing.
