Members Jonathan Posted February 11, 2010 Members Share Posted February 11, 2010 La Lucci is on the Rachael Ray Show tomorrow, Thursday, February 11. http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/show/view/938/ Did anyone ever catch that RR show where they were having a garage sale of backstage items from All My Children? Any clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted February 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Just finished watching. La Lucci talked about the move, said it has been seamless so far. She talked about being in hi-def, and jokingly said she wasn't sure she wanted to be in high def and would prefer to watch sports that way. Talked about the death of James Mitchell and how it was shocking news. She spoke about one of her fondest memories of him when they were prepping for their scenes and James came up to her and started dancing with her. She noted how he was an accomplished dancer on movies and broadway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I always thought she debuted on the show from the very first show but she didnt come on the scene till episode 10. I didnt like the advice segment. What was with people asking her what would Erica do in their situation? You dont apply Erica logic to real life. It came off as dumb. Other than that it was a pretty good show and interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I learned several years ago that Erica was referred to offscreen before she was introduced. They wanted to build up curiosity about her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I wonder if Susan has ever mentioned Erica's relation to AW's Rachel (Robin Strasser) in an interview. I remember fans from AMC's early days saying on WoST that they could have sworn Susan was given tapes of Robin to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I have heard that story too (probably from WoST, as I was a member there for a period of time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 Considering only a handful of episodes of Robin as Rachel exist, I'm not sure how much truth there is there... Is thre somewhere online I can see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 But there would have been plenty of tapes still available in 1970, no? Or forget tapes, she could haved just WATCHED Another World. Not reporting this as fact btw, just relaying the impression that some fans from back then got. If indeed true, I doubt SL would ever admit such a thing. But I see no harm in watching a handful of scenes to get the gist of what they're trying to establish on their brand spanking new show, then you venture off and make it your own. Gathering from what I've read over the years, making tapes of their predecessors available for recasts seemed to be fairly common practice, the choice to watch was up to the actor. Apparently, Paul Rauch gave Elaine Princi tapes of Robin Strasser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 No, there wouldn't have been. They reused the tapes, Agnes has said, often within a week. But she could have watched live, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 Speak for yourself. I have a "What Would Erica Do (WWED)?" bracelet from high school that says different. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 LOL!! I want one. Speaking of "WWED?", I loved La Kane's reaction here: (skip to 4:00) <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" Please register in order to view this content name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> HILARIOUS!

Members SFK Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 Oh man, I LOL'd when they cut to Adam snickering with his feet up sipping champers, hilarious. Erica is HILARIOUS, I'm so mad that so many people just don't get it. Damn if Jane Elliot can't work a Sassoon bob/blunt cut. Her head has been looking snatched for years.

Members Jonathan Posted February 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 I completely get it. We don't get Erica like this anymore, and it's a shame. I always felt that ABC should've given La Lucci a shot at a sitcom pilot. She does comedy so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 She really does, and so many people write it off as bad acting. But there really are OTT people like that in life. And we can't forget that Susan is acting what's on the page and Agnes Nixon ain't no slouch. I get so tickled watching those old clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 Danielle: Who else would have the nerve to put their picture on the cover of the first issue of their magazine [but Erica]? The very first issue, published under her name? Me: Um...Oprah? They should bring back Danielle. Erica could use a "no-talent tramp" for a neme--. Oh, wait. Annie. Forget what I said.
