Members Adam Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah not exactly sure how..... but the song and dance between those two has been going on for like 20 years now...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 Touche. Adam & Erica were so much fun together though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 Do we know that? Or is "blame the fanbase" the new catchall excuse? I had no desire to see Adam and Erica together and it had nothing to do with being part of any fanbase. I just don't think it makes sense to go there again.

Members Adam Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah, and seemed to be generally well liked.... hopefully it will come back, because nothing was better than watching AMC's two most seasoned actors do their thang. IMO David Canary elevates Susan to levels we haven't seen her achieve in many years. Of course I don't know it, its just a theory..... I mean.... Jack and Erica seem to be disliked more than they are liked, online anyway for the most part. There has to be some wing of fans out there or why would they contin ue bringing them back together, and more importantly keep giving Walt Willey contracts? What does Jack really have connecting him to the canvas anyway after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 I know what fanbase you are refering to, but I have to say in all honesty that the writers obvious don't give a damn what they think. Practically every writer has passed on jerica but they have been successful in helping walt keep his job if this was any other show he would of been gone years ago. I really don't think they are going in that direction, because I don't see jackass approving of erica behavior/actions if pratt goes the way I think he will go with erica.

Members EricaKane70 Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 As a former jerica fan, I know that this fanbase has a letter writing campaign everytime erica is put with or has potential to be with someone else. So I just put two and two together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Caramel Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 I don't think Pratt is pandering to ANY fanbases, really. Zendall is CLEARLY in for a shake up. Jerica is STILL on the outs (unles they bond over dead children) Adica has not progressed further than flirtation (which, Adam and Erica ALWAYS did well, in addition to their fights; they are good friends/allies) Ryannie is dead Rylee... DOA Grach (friendship or otherwise)- dead and forgotten The only couples he has given focus to are his: Take and Reeks (who he is doing some crazy ish with!) I WILL give him credit for making the show more varied, like a real soap (A story, B story and a C story... and various background people comment on the events of one or all of these stories). However, I am NOT liking how he has propped some (Ryass for example) and tore down others (the continued crazy writing for Kendall, now Zach, Josh and Bianca; possibly dismantling the Knae-Slater clan while further distancing the Kane-Montgomery disfunctional family dynamic), but that is JMO. RE: Grach I felt there was chemistry and I could accept grudging friendship- but not at Kendall's expense. As a Kendall-fan, I am SICK of them thrusting not only Ryan, but Greenlee into her orbit; ESPECIALLY with Greenlee wanting- yet again- something she has because Greenlee is unhappy and incapable for taking responsibility for her own problems and actions (and I LOVE to hate her- she is an Excellent bitch to Real!Kendall's vixen a la Brooke and Erica: the next generation, family edition... but this Greenlee is NOT it, sorry, but she sucks!). And Earth-Mother-Love!Kendall is interesting, but HELL NO, that is NOT who she is all the time... she is a bitch and schemer with a heart. Both of these women should be complex and NOT dependant on a man! JMO and end of my rant on this. *L* And THANK YOU! for someone saying that B&E was VERY Zach-biased and was decimating Kendall to do it. And you know what? If they wanted to end Zendall, they should have just allowed Kendall to be herself, not become a doormat and crazy neighborhood meddling shrew! That is about as crazy as Greenlee being sweetness, kindness and light. Just, no! So, perhaps TK is not happy with how his character is being played; I think we all agree with this POV. Again, JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 I just wish a writer would settle on something for Erica or I fear she will go the way of Lisa on As The World Turns as she gets older. They bounced Lisa from man to man all her years on the show and when she would get a rival they usually wrote the rival off so that there was no history even from that point. And none of her men except for Bob had ties to other families in Oakdale for the long haul. So Lisa even though she does have children has very limited ties to Oakdale. Settling Erica into some type of family unit for the long haul is actually good for the characters longetivity. People talk about Jackson's ties - well Erica's ties are not getting any better. When Binks goes back to Europe and Josh is dead - Erica has Kendall left as far as family. And she is down to 2 ex-husbands now. With Josh gone and Jeff no longer around her ties to the Martins will be gone too. And Opal is her only friend left now that Myrtle is dead. If Eden Riegel won't take a long term contract, they may seriously need to reconsider hiring a permanent replacement. I was not the biggest fan of Erica and Jackson, but at least it tied her to a family unit. Erica is just getting at the age where all the bouncing and forth between men is getting old too.

Members Southofnowhere Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 1000000% agree with recasting Bianca! There's no logical reason for her not to be living in PV fulltime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 Just add Angie to the list of characters that KWAK has ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 Why anyone would want to see Jackon religated to holding Erica's purse, while she cheats on him, I don't know. But it's hard for me to believe that Pratt just unPOD'd her, only to put her right back into the Montgomery "good little housewife, who Jack disapproves of" role again.

Members SteveFrame Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 Oh believe me Kylie, I do not want housewife and matriarch Erica back. Some characters are fit for that. Erica Kane is not. Erica should be to AMC what Dorian Lord is to OLTL. But sadly the writers keep getting rid of Erica's ties in Pine Valley. All of her rivals that can provide a lot of history are gone as I said above. And slowly the former men in her life that provide some history are leaving too. If they don't watch it is seriously going to limit the legitimate characters for Erica to relate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
