Members Ann_SS Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 I don't believe that ABC cares enough about Erica to play hardball with Susan Lucci. I suspect that they would be relieved if she stuck around for her 40th anniversary and then did guest appearances with the occasional story arc. I bet they are working much harder to get TK to make the move than worrying about SL. ABC prizes its male actors way more than its female actors. I can easliy see Frons thinking that AMC would collapse without Zach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JinxxAvery Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 GH dropped Rachel Ames from contract on her 40th anniversary, so, sure, that cpuld be the plan with them dressing up Lucci's recurring status as "special guest appearances". Next up, Dee Hall as Silver Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 Susan Lucci would sh!t a purple turd if they replaced her with Deidre Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 I think they should crossover an existing or past ABC character to be the new queen bee at AMC. Maybe someone like Tracy Q or Sydney Chase, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 That is so funny, just the other day when I was watching that clip of Morgan on B&B I was thinking how great it would be if my Sydney could guest star on L.A. AMC. I was thinking more of a recurring rival for Erica though, not so much a replacement. It would especially work if Jack was still in the picture since Sydney and Jack had a fling (Syndey once asked Jack on The City, "You still with 'what's-her-name'?"). Oh, and of course there's that pesky issue of Sydney being murdered by Molly in the final episode, but this is a soap and I never believed that she was really dead, maybe she was just "knocked out".

Members Pine Charles Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 Deidre Hall as Erica Kane replacement?! Um, no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cityfan01 Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 No way in hell did Sydney Chase die. I actually have some fan fic written with her alive and kicking in it. I say bring Morgan to AMC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 wow, Deidre Hall is just about the only name I can come up with who can possible replace Susan Lucci as the star of the show. It would be hilarious to see her play Erica (and I hope for a special tag in the credits "and starring Deidre Hall as Erica") but maybe she can play a new cosmetics tycoon who of course relocates to Pine Valley, PA.

Members DRW50 Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 Will Frons even remember The City? He may think that means people want to see Speidi cast as the new Jack and Erica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ha! That would be so funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 If ABC brings on Deidre Hall, I doubt they will make her play a recast Erica if Lucci doesn't want to relocate. If ABC has the balls to make her play Erica, I think what little viewers the show has left will turn off AMC for good. I may not be Lucci's biggest fan, but I still believe most people tune into AMC to see Lucci as Erica and if someone else plays Erica, viewers wont be too happy and ABC will be in a lot more trouble. Any respect the show has left will definitely be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 No, no way they would ever try to recast Erica, no one is that stupid. I can see stunt casting someone like DH to trumpet their L.A. arrival, but I don't see them just giving her or anyone else the show in Susan's hypothetical absence. They would beef up Kendall or Bianca, or even more likely, try to convince us that Ryan was the new Erica before they would throw down for a top dollar soap vet.

Members quartermainefan Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 Is it even possible to beef up Kendell??? There just are not enough minutes in an episode to accommodate this self-described supporting actress as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 What about DH as Tara Martin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well, I know they probably wouldn't recast Erica with DH... however, they might write an Erica-type character for DH to play in Erica's absence. In any case, please, NO. DH seems like a pleasant enough woman, but we really don't need her on AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
