Taylor Miller on the AMC 40th anniversary

http://www.ourprattville.com/entertainment/movies-music-tv/an-our-prattville-exclusive-interview-with-taylor-miller-actress-speaks-about-her-life-and-all-my-children

Taylor Miller: You know for the 40th anniversary show, I think I had two lines but I did them as Nina because I understand the character. But, that’s the brilliant thing about playing a character for so long because you can look at those lines and you are that person. So, when I went back I went up to the studio and Teddy and Rusty were there … all of the stage managers who had lost their jobs after working there for 30 years – all of the people were there. They were like, “Hey Taylor!” And I’m like, “Nina’s back in town!”

Everybody was hugging me and it was so great! I can’t even tell you what a great experience I had going back. I feel so lucky to have been able to go back and see that again because it was such a great time of my life.

Melissa Parker (Our Prattville): Did you have any scenes with James Mitchell?

Taylor Miller: No, it was not written as scenes. It was written as introducing clips. They didn’t bring the character back to interact with anyone. The things that they show happened back when ABC daytime was brilliant.

Melissa Parker (Our Prattville): So this is a flashback episode.

Taylor Miller: Yeah, a walk down memory lane. And the people who have been watching the show for a while would totally enjoy it or if they have wondered why somebody did whatever they’ll go, “Oh wait a minute, that makes sense now.”

I love that too, because they totally deserve it and like any good family reunion, somebody's gonna get called out. ABC Daytime, you are certainly not what you used to be and you've done your fair share of actors wrong. Don't sleep and think that just because you dusted off some vets, they'll sit politely in the corner with tape over their mouths.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
