Members Cheap21 Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 those words were about Sydney Penny? She's not white, so I didnt think they were referring to her. I thought they were about Stafford which wouldnt surprise me considerning the other stuff thats been said about her by others who have left the show (who shall not be named) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 IDK. He was talking about AMC before that quote, so I just assumed. Isn't SP half white and half Native American? I remember reading that her father was a country singer or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 Sydney Penny is white - whatever that means anymore - Julia Santos was Latina. And please no one jump on me about the whole race vs. ethnicity thing. I wasn't aware that "the black community" had a problem with Noah/Julia, although looking back now I'm not surprised some people had a negative reaction. This is one of those times I'm grateful that I didn't know anything about backstage politics and how wretched some segments of the soap viewing audience could be. I just watched a couple I loved in a story I loved on a show I loved. I didn't know what a dick KHC was until Andromeda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 yeah she is half Native American. I think Cherokee to be exact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 I wonder if black women were angry at Taylor being turned into some annoying twitchy headcase in order to prop Noah/Julia. I felt like Taylor was recast almost specifically for that purpose. It was all so poorly written it pretty much guaranteed I could not have any interest in the whole supercouple thing the show was going for.

Members Pine Charles Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 I'm not black, but God -- I hated Taylor #2. Awful! The mom was always good, though. Wasn't her name Vivian? She was sorta a black version of Enid Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 SP is a rightwinger. SMG only friend at AMC was and still is the actress who played Maria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alwaysAMC Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 1) After seeing him on Noah's Arc, I'm not surprised at all about this. 2) I had NO idea Sydney and KHC hated each other! I love the drama (although it makes me a bit sad bc I loved Noah/Julia and I will try not to let this ruin my fond memories of them). 3) KHC is creepy in interiews and he really takes himself way too seriously, so I imagine I'd have to side with Sydney, if that even matters.

Members Vee Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 It always tires my ass out when people immediately jump to the cliched assumption that the SMG/SL feud came from Lucci being a "diva like Erica Kane." My understanding was it couldn't be further from the truth, and that SMG has always had a chip on her shoulder. The Buffy set wasn't exactly paradise by the end. But there's a lot of people out there who associate Lucci with Erica, and SMG with OMG BUFFY SO AWESOME. Yes, Buffy was awesome, and she did a wonderful job in the role. She is also a raging bitch. The one thing I will credit Sarah with is that she has always stood firmly in defense of soaps and their value to television. As for Noah and Julia, I liked them but even then as a kid I thought the writing for "streetwise black Noah and his sudden family" was a bit embarrassing and on the nose. It was like Luke Cage, Power Man from Marvel Comics at times. By the time they hit Jamaica, however, I was sick of their asses. When they got to the soap opera fairy tale wedding with this giant bruiser with dreads trussed up for the white folks with their trappings I just thought it was bizarre. That's why I became a much bigger OLTL fan, it seemed more real, though of course OLTL had its share of fairy tale weddings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 My biggest problem with Noah and Julia, aside from the Taylor stuff, was I didn't understand why they were supposed to be sympathetic. This was a big problem I had with a number of AMC's "good" characters at this time (Maria, Edmund, Mateo, Bobby, Anita, among others). I thought Noah just came across as an ass more often than not, and the story was so tired, oh he's falsely accused and on the run. I remember Marlena de la Croix writing about the Disney wedding happening around the same time Disney bought ABC. That was also the beginning of the homogenization of ABC soaps.

Members Southofnowhere Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 SMG is the only person who has ever had a problem with La Lucci. Remember when the DWTS peeps thought she was supposed to act like Erica Kane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 This. I had nothing but good feelings toward Cobb and I was so happy to see him on Andromeda but after reading enough interviews with the guy, I - like the show - wrote him off as a self-important ass and this interview makes me write him off as a bitter, self-important ass. What is he doing now? That article made it sound like he was doing theatre. I didn't make it past the first episode of Noah's Arc. Normally I can give pilots/first eps a pass but that was unendurable, I threw it on the heap with Dante's Cove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 Publicly. A woman who's had enough plastic surgery to rival Cher, yet wants the world to believe her "youthful essence" is from some $19.95 informercial face buffer doesn't strike me as a person without ego. I don't have trouble believing for a second that La Lucci had some residual issues with the fact that she was supposed to be viewed as a mother of a "23 year old" woman... no matter how much they de-aged Erica. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
