Members SFK Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Frankly, I don't understand why Marissa is still around. Talk about keeping all the wrong people. She's like the Meg Griffin of AMC, minus the humor of the running gag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Well, she has had a steady paycheck for 14 years...And she worked before that. She probably has a pretty penny saved. Not to mention, I suspect Frons had a lot to do with her being let go from GH. Nonetheless, if they offer her Annie, I sure hope that she accepts. I think AMC might be the only soap that wouldn't waste her if they hired her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Can she play a snarky/funny bitch like Annie? If not, I don't want her. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 IDK about that. Her final scenes were taped last week, she last airs next month, and Annie sort of jumped back into BSC mode rather abruptly after just being bitchy and devious and fabulous for most of last year. I think this is their way of writing her out while trying to do something big for sweeps. And the show was TOTALLY going for JR/Annie all through the fall and early winter. Annie was well-received almost universally, she was driving story, one of the top 5 in appearances, definitely on her way to another Emmy nomination, etc. MCE was sitting in a pretty plum spot, and, not taking into account any behind the scenes drama that might have led to her decision to leave or any other personal issues, she really didn't have any reason to leave besides the ones most young actors have for leaving soaps: bigger, better things. And she'll definitely get them, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Please do, and mention that name (BECKY HERBST) while you write it. Just drop a subtle hint, dear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 A massive, unsurprising mistake. Melissa Egan has been carrying this show for a while. But you could tell by the spoilers, the day to day writing and the writer's comments on Annie/JR/NuMarissa that they wanted Annie out. This show is done.

Members Soapsuds Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 I didn't think she was that special . I don't know what all the hoopla is all about. AMC must really be in deep s h i t if this is big news!! She probably realizes that AMC doesn't have much time left and she wants to find another more permenant job.

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 She's got the snark down but I don't know about funny....she is not a brilliant as MCE, though at any of it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 To think Pratt is the one who saved Annie too. Thanks Angela for checking for us. I hope they tell you something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Annie was the ONLY thing Pratt did right. He loved writing for this character to, it was obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 She can do both! For sure! LOL. And AllMyDaysatGH, uhmm...Sorry but Becky is at LEAST on MCE's caliber. I mean, they're playing such different roles ATM that it's hard to compare...But RH is just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 In terms of Snarky/Bitch, um no sorry. Not as great as MCE IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
