But look at which one still has a place in pop culture conversations 👀

And it's mostly thanks to one woman - need I say whom, lol? - who might not be the world's greatest actress, but who captured viewers' attention and imagination nevertheless.

I mean, people loved Tad the Cad, and Greg and Jenny, and especially Jesse and Angie.  But you really can't think of AMC without thinking first of Erica Kane.

The online AMC revival would have had plenty of funds coming in had Erica Kane appeared on it.   That is a hill I'll die on.

The online show had a perfect way that she could have fit in without the toxic weight of Jack around her neck.   Dimitri was back, plus Brooke was back with a talk show.  I could have seen Brooke and Erica having competing talk shows with Adam egging on the feud between them because why wouldn't he like his two ex wife's battling it out.

Frankly, @Soaplovers, David Canary was in no condition by that point to participate more in the revival than he did.  Also, I think it would've been much more compelling to see Brooke and Erica attempt to co-host a "Hoda & Kathie Lee"-like chatfest, with "the network" believing that their history and chemistry would make for "appointment television," lol.

Happy Erica Kane Day!

 

A small-town girl who had but one goal: to conquer the world.  That is Erica Kane, and that is why I love her and miss her to this day.

Of course, I love the modeling stuff from the '80's.  I thought those sequences were so well-produced.  But if I had to choose the quintessential "Erica Kane" moment, it'd have to be when she posed as a nun while on the lam for Kent Bogard's murder, hands down.  In fact, it's one of the reasons why I balked at the show's efforts years later to ground Erica in more realistic storylines involving drug addiction and childhood rape.  You might be able to tell those stories with Brooke, or with Natalie, but Erica was too larger-than-life for gritty dramas such as those.

^ I need to find some of these cards! Never knew they existed. SL is prominently represented.. the guy opening them is a little annoying though. He didn't watch the show.

Erica Kane - Supermodel - Happy Erica Kane Week!

 

I'd almost forgotten that Holland Taylor once was on AMC as a fashion designer.  Was she doing the show at the same time as she was co-starring in "Bosom Buddies"?

Why is January 2 Erica day and not January 16, the date she made her first appearance on the show?

January should just be Erica month, but look, since Susan's birthday was just last week, we can celebrate La Kane from December 1 to January 31.
