Why the f would they ask Marcy if she wanted to come back? She's made no bones about the fact that she's done with acting. She lives in North Carolina and works as a children's pastor. She's not coming back to acting. Even my dog knows that, peeps.

Move on; Marcy has!

I disagree with that. I think they should have asked her out of respect for the character, respect for the history of the show and respect for her fans. Oh wait, I forgot this is ABC, they couldn't care less about their actors, show history or fans.

I agree but clearly they didn't have Marcy in mind for this incarnation of Liza.

BWAH! Daytime Confidential comments on Prasshole's TV Guide Comments:

Lord have mercy, will some PR rep tell these executives to close their yaps? They make it too easy for me! Last year you had Barbara Bloom telling Guiding Light fans who balked at her new production mandates to "lighten up", Chris Goutman preaching about how soaps should be cut to three-days-a-week, Ken Corday calling Deidre Freakin' Hall, a "spoke on a wheel" and now All My Children head writer Chuck Pratt is telling TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan that the cast of his soap had better "watch out" for Jamie Luner. Say what, say huh?

Luner was brought to AMC by the soap’s head writer Chuck Pratt, who wrote and produced several seasons of Melrose. “Back then, Jamie’s nickname on the set was ‘Turbo’ because she’s such a ball of energy and you can throw anything at her,” says Pratt. “I warned her that joining AMC would be daunting and crazy. What with 30 actors and all the behind-the-scenes stuff, it’s like high school. But they’re the ones who have to watch out. Jamie’s not an ass kisser. She’s very straightforward. She’s going to shake up the cast in a very good way.

Heck Chuckie, you do realize the daytime landscape and its fans are pretty war-ravaged after years of fans having to endure the losses of our beloved vets, many on the show you're scripting, i.e Julia Barr, Cady McClain, Marcy Walker (Yeah she's found Jesus, but she was booted off AMC, don't re-write history Julie), etc. So...yeah, maybe you might not want to set poor Jamie Luner up for failure by popping off at the mouth? I don't know about y'all, but I smell another "Real Greenlee".

Agreed. She certainly doesn't scream "Liza".

If she can play older that's fine.

She just looks more Beth Ehlers age than Debbi Morgan's.

Zach and Liza.... yeah Pratt is pretty transparent.... he's going there.

So that means more Rendall?

UGH.

I believe JHC's comments about Marcy Walker. For her to basically say "I understand how people feel; I'm a Marcy fan too" is actually a big deal coming from her. Good thing Pratt is in L.A. or he might have gone all Ryan/"I am that monster" on her.

And what would Marcy's Liza have done if she came back for a brief stint (which is all Marcy has said she would ever do)? Volunteered at Brooke's homeless shelter? Knitted some new clothes for Opal? Gushed about how cute Taylor and Brot are? Liza was already completely watered down when she left and part of that was because it's what Marcy requested!

UGH.

It would seem so.... I mean who knows maybe Pratt is being truthful in it not being set in stone....

But Thorsten Kaye re-signed for a reason..... and perhaps it was because he'd get to work with a new sassy vixen.... Pratt has shown he clearly does not give a damn about the Zendall fanbase..... his agenda is clearly to break them up.

I am fine with that, but HATE HATE HATE that his alternative for Kendall is Ryan....

That's not true at all. Marcy never asked for Liza's edge to be taken away- the writers did that all on their own. She didn't find Jesus and foist her beliefs onto the writers- that never happened.

She looks hot in that pic. She's definetly aged well

I agree. I didn't like the watered down version of Liza the last time we saw her. I'm glad they're revitalizing her and giving the character back her edge. However, I just feel that Jamie's Liza would be too much sexpot and not enough substance. That's not who Liza was. This is just my prediction. Hopefully she'll prove me wrong.
