Uggg.  I have such a love/hate with her.  The new commercial she's in makes me cringe.  So, I'm in 'hate mode' with her.  I swear though that her popularity was completely manufactured, or at least 75% of it was, because she has the same appeal as Robin Strasser, Sharon Gabet, or Eileen Fulton.

Susan's popularity is thanks to the role of Erica which was written into the stratosphere.  While the ladies you list are all fabulous in their own rights, none of their signature roles were written with the epic scope of Erica.

I'd say beyond Erica it's also based on her work ethic and professionalism. Aside from the SMG stuff you rarely hear anything negative about Susan, any idea that she was some kind of out of control bitch and anything that follows many other soap "divas" of her era.

I was thinking this morning (as I was listening to harpist Carol McClure):

 

On All My Children, what was Melanie Sawyer's storyline?    I know that she did not have much of a storyline because she was not on the show for very long.   I know that she was a first cousin of Pamela Kingsley.   She was a music student and a pupil of Mark Dalton.   Pamela seemed to have an attraction for Mark, which, I am sure if the storyline had proceeded, would have led to more problems between Pamela and Erica.  

 

Was Melanie to be a new love interest for Dr. Chuck Tyler?

 

Why had Chuck and his second third wife, Carrie Sanders Tyler, broken up?

 

Rick Pharr (or Farr) was a character who was a gardener.   Someone fell in love with him?   Was it Betsy Kinnecott?

 

Or, did Betsy fall in love with Wally McFadden?

 

Someone fell in love with Rick.   Who was it?

 

Did anyone else like Sam other than Opal?

Carrie had it with Chuck because she was jealous of Donna and knew about Chuck and Donna's son, known as Johnny Cortlandt.   Melanie and Chuck dated and went away on the ski trip that Donna and Palmer were on.

 

Rick Kincaed was Benny's best friend  (Stephen Parr). I'm not sure about Betsy, but he fell in love with Estelle.

 

Sam had a girlfriend named Tina Benson (actress unknown), he had a crush on Jenny, and was the object of the one and only Verla Grubbs

I love how the host told viewers that if they wanted a copy of the diet they could send a self-addressed stamped envelope.  I mean, why couldn't they just post it online?

What does everyone think is the reason Erica endured as such an iconic character over other characters?

 

When watching the early 1970 episodes, no one probably would have figured she would have lasted over 41 years.  I do think had she been part of the online show...it wouldn't have folded so quickly..imho

      Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.

      While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.

      Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.

      Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!

      I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.

      Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.

      Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
