AMC: The Kate Collins/Janet Green Appreciating Thread

[Adam]

Yep I knew her and James did not get along at all... and Kate was out of a job because of it.

[Pine Charles]

Yep, I knew that as well.

She actually accused Kiberd of sexual harassment.

But it doesn't seem she held hard feelings for long - considering she made all those reappearances as Natalie (in angel form) and recently returned.

[Adam]

Yeah long after thouh the regime of the early 90's was gone and neither time had to work with James Kibeard.

[Pine Charles]

Well, I wouldn't say "long after". It was just a few years.

McTavish was back when Natalie made an appearance to Janet (Robin Mattson), telling her it was OK to marry Trevor. I suspect maybe the problem was with FMB.

[Carolyn1980]

No, the problem was definitely between KC and JK, lol. It's well-documented. Even JK's wife Susan Keith has weighed in on it. (Don't know whether KC also had a problem with FMB, but the main issue was between her and JK).

[Pine Charles]

Oh, I know! That was the whole root of the problem, obviously. I was talking about her hard feelings for getting fired - for them picking JK over her. She might hold some bitterness for that, but it doesn't seem like it. I don't think JK had anything to do her firing - I mean, at least directly. I think I heard FMB was the one who supported it. McTavish loves KC, so I don’t think she had anything to do with it. It's really crumby that just because 2 actors don't get along one of them has to leave; but charging sexual harassment is a major thing. It would be hard for them to share scenes together! Plus, they tried to pair Trevor and Natalie with different people to ease the tensions, but the audience wouldn’t go for it. That shows what great actors they were. They hated each other in real life, but were magic together as their characters.

Do you know exactly what JK's wife said about the whole situation? I'd love to know!

Thanks!

[Carolyn1980]

She said that her husband was gruff with women, and hard to get to know, and that she too didn't care for him at first when they worked together on Loving (she was the sort of prissy feminine type like KC). But the more they got to know each other, she said she realized he was all bark and no bite, like a big teddy bear.

I guess if he hadn't already been married to Susan Keith, maybe that combustion could've led to something more positive for them offscreen, lol.

[Adam]

They'll never know!

[Pine Charles]

I'm dying here!

[psychofan]

Me too

[Pine Charles]

Now I'm just angry!

[psychofan]

Amanda mentioned Janet today. Could that mean we'll be seeing her again soon?!?!?!

[Pine Charles]

You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

[psychofan]

What people?

[Pine Charles]

The people at AMC.
