Very cool read. Thanks for finding it! Hopefully she has no regrets about her decision to stay.

Had she left, she never would have won her Emmy.

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Well to answer the question about why SL didn't leave daytime, she said in her intimate portrait that she did have primetime offers but she made the decision to stay in daytime because it allowed her to be the wife and mother that she wanted to be and not be gone all the time.

Had she left, she never would have won her Emmy.

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

She would've won a Primetime Emmy and an Oscar!

And Bill Bell adored Brenda Dickson's diva behavior :lol:

LOL! I give Susan props for turning herself into a well known celebrity. She knew the limits of her talents so she did her guest appearances, tv movies, and a Broadway show. Nothing wrong with that. Lots of soap actors would give their right arm for her career and income.

She's a personality. An entertainer at the very most, and an actress at the very, very least. She's also a nice head of hair and shiny white teeth.

Not that I'm one to refute something DC posts, but I have to go with what I'm given...AMC nor OLTL are moving their sets.

Confirmed: Despite "rumors" All My Children and One Life to Live aren't moving production to Los Angeles!

Thanks Errol, this is what we all figured anyway. lol

Daytime Confidential tends to make stuff up or be wrong about things.

Thanks Errol. I think we all knew that, but official confirmation is best. I think what made everyone interested in this was that it was so silly and so out there to begin with.

He actually had a secret crush on her.

With Erica, Susan Lucci took "diva" to another level, something that the TV audience had never really been exposed to before. If you look at some of her earlier work on YouTube, she was able to play bitchiness and camp perfectly. That's why she became famous, along with her losing streak, of course.

You're right on both parts.

She really did take bitchiness and fierceness to a whole new level. In the beginning, she was only supposed to be on every other Tuesday. I think because she played a 16 year old brat so well and was just so devious, that's why the fans grew to love her so quickly.

Well you know, she was his "muse." :lol:

Susan Lucci is the most visible daytime television actor/actress, no doubt. Even people who don't watch ABC daytime or even daytime television at all know who she is. I remember watching the Daytime Emmys during the losing streak and my non-daytime watching friends and family members would ask if Susan Lucci lost again. I can't think of any other daytime actor/actress whose Emmy win got a People magazine cover story.
