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.

    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.
