Members Khan Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Why do I feel like Robin Mattson is about to come unglued in that interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Wasn't that the end for Robin on GH (or close)? Gloria was very lucky that she was allowed creative freedom. JFP is someone who is considered to be demanding and will tell actors what they're doing wrong, and so on, yet she has been sat on by Frons and Guza for most of her run.

Members Adam Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 I remember back on the WoST forum years ago someone claiming Susan Lucci was a huge reason behind Megan McTavish's dismissal from AMC in 1995. I am not sure what was said to have irked Lucci so bad that made her throw her weight around, because at the time of Megan's firing ratings were not suffering that bad. In fact, AMC was consistently rating as the #2 soap still. Anyone else heard anything about this? I mean it makes sense.... look at the year Susan Lucci/Erica had in the wake of the Megan/Broderick transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 I thought Susan was generally very well served under McTavish, at least the first time around. Not so much the second run (the third started out very well for Erica and then ended badly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yeah, I always thought so too.... I have no way of validating what I posted, I just remember it being discussed. Its interesting her weight would have been thrown around then, but not at the time of the unabortion (that we know of). ABC Daytime had been so micromanaged by that point in time, even Lucci's weight might not have made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 I don't know anything about a smear campaign against Gloria Monty, but what she did to GH with the Eckerts and how she fired the actors en masse was pure hubris and it hurt the show. I will never forgive her destruction of my fave couple at that time Dawn and Decker. First, she brutally killed off Dawn, Guza style and then she sent my beloved Decker away.

Members Cheap21 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 did she have something against Dawn and Decker? What was the deal with her during her second stint? I know she had issues with Finola Hughes, but who else outside of her? Did the actors not like working with Monty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Is Decker the one she claimed was already planning to leave before she arrived? Still it is no excuse for brutally killing off Monica's daughter - that could have driven years and years of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Did they ever get the casting right for Dawn? It seemed like every time you turned around there was a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 for real. I couldnt beleive that Monica's daughter only lasted about 2 years. That was such a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 From what I've read over the years, the last Dawn, Jennifer Guthrie, had turned the corner with the character, and fans liked her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
