Members Adam Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Couldn't have said it better myself! The overexposure is a big reason I got turned off from one of my favourite characters... it just became too much. Alicia never ever had the acting chops to sustain the role they were carving out for her long term. More than adequate ensemble player with a lead story every once in a while.... but she never was lead actress material. Personally I was also never ever that comfortable with Erica and Kendall becoming as close as they have..... I still think something should have happened to throw a wrench into that. I was a long time advocate of Zach and Erica having a tryst. It would have been a much better story than Ryan and Erica gallivanting around with Kendall off on some boat in the Mediterranean for most of it.

Members Angela Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 1993 was an exciting year for AMC and for all soaps. I think Kendall/Erica's story with both SMG and AM was one of AMC's best, not just Kendall's and SMG's first year in that story started this story and was pretty damn glorious. It was definitely terrific, can't miss drama until the story seperation. I thought the story was so dynamic for both characters. Despite the stupidness of having Erica raped at 14, and bringing on a 16 year old Kendall, I thought the age frame was perfect as Erica could damage Kendall more for adulthood, lol. I never hated either Kendall or Erica in this story. Kendall was acting out because she didn't just want but she needed the acceptance. Erica couldn't accept her because she was a constant, living reminder of the worst time of her life. They both kept on messing up with each other on the path, but you could tell there was something just underneath the surface that kept on pulling them to each other. I love how long the story went on and that it wasn't easy for them to get to love. That's what makes soaps so rich, the fact that you can play out a story like that in real time. I feel like we need to disect the last 40 or so posts into a Kendall/SMG/AM/Erica thread? lol. Nah, it's AMC history so relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Would Susan Lucci bar it from happening tho? I don't think so. She doesn't seem like the type. And I never heard SMG hated working at AMC...I know she had problems with SuLu, but I never heard she hated the experience as a whole. And I'm with you. They never gave a proper explanation of why Kendall was so eager to hurt Erica again. They made peace, and if anything, Kendall should have stepped in unexpectedly to HELP Erica. I don't know. Just another reason that AMKendall bothered me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Message from David Gregory via his facebook Would Lucci? No, but why would the network risk pissing her off in the show's final months? The two had issues which I dont think were ever resolved. They ALREADY have an actress playing Kendall. Theres no place or need for SMG to return for the finale. And I dont think SMG would return bc all her friends are gone. She was close with Eva La Rue and Sydney Penny, both of whom are gone. Most of the actresses and actors present now are people she never worked with. She'd be the odd person out and it wouldnt be like coming home.

Members All My Shadows Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 LMFAO. "Leeza tells us his mother has no plans to retire." It's like a fake newscast they would have made for Erica in the early 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angela Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Many would argue SL isn't a good actress in the true sense of the word acting. IMO, whatever AM doesn't have in chops she covers for in charisma, much like SL. She's been fine in lead and is IMO capable in lead. Was she over-exposed? Definitely, her along with Mathison, Budig, and Kaye. Bad writing in combination with over-exposure is not a good thing. She's got a show on CBS for the 2012-2013 season. Erica hadn't contacted her once in seven years until she needed help for Bianca. A 5 minute make-up session wouldn't be enough healing to make up for Erica not contacting her in 7 years until she needed help for Bianca, or/and Kendall being so willing to throw Erica under the bus at her first chance. LOL, I think so. I'll see what I can do. Give me 15 mintes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if Eva LaRue came back, anyway. Not full time, obviously, but for an appearance or two. Like she did for the anniversary. I'm sure whatever problems SuLu and SMG had are done. It was 16 years ago. Unless someone murdered someone or slept with someone's husband, what could have gone down? And I wasn't suggesting SMG play Kendall, but rather a little wink to the audience-type short scene WITH AM. And I don't think the network cares about pissing SuLu off....Did Brian Frons not lie DIRECTLY to her face about AMc being cancelled? And make her look like an idiot when she announced it on national TV? Yeah, that ships sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Not sure if this quote was posted: I thought it was interesting since he seems to be claiming GH is so much better off than AMC and OLTL. Looks like they will be doing things like product placement, which I wish the soaps could have done more of. http://michaelfairma..._medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 This is where we disagree. I don't think AM has charisma at all. That's why in my opinion, she can't carry the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
