Members Maxim Posted Tuesday at 11:55 PM Members Share Posted Tuesday at 11:55 PM There is something indescribably magical about this early 80s Erica. It's that girl that everyone talks about in every small town. That girl that makes people crazy with everything she does. It's almost like you know her. Ah. Thanks for sharing. We need to get lucky and have the early 80s in full available years... These people with VHS-tapes out there... MUST have them. I am going to put this in my next prayer when I go to church. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Wednesday at 12:07 AM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 12:07 AM I think it's because they have the balance just right between Erica's sincerity and her drive and her camp - we are still seeing her grow, still seeing her as the little girl finding the big world. The show being brave enough to keep her out of Pine Valley for years was also important for the character. And Susan Lucci just had such a spark, before the inevitable ossification/"legend" status that tends to stunt character and actor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alwaysAMC Posted Wednesday at 12:00 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 12:00 PM (edited) Thanks! And some local Santa Barbara news as an add-on! Please register in order to view this content The quality of these episodes is so good. There was nuNatalie, I see. Man, I haven't seen an episode with her in so many years. While I was always team Tad/Dixie and really loved Tad's return, I remember still liking Brian Bodine because of the Hayley/Brian pairing with the first actor. This second actor was good too, but some of Brian's bad boy persona got lost. Edited Wednesday at 12:01 PM by alwaysAMC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Wednesday at 12:11 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 12:11 PM (edited) Brian is one of those characters where the previous actor (and I know he wasn't the first either) embodied the character enough to where without him the character just seems like a stranger. (and didn't he magically become a singer, as also happened when this guy played Sam Fowler on AW?) Melody Anderson is OK, I remember her doing good work in a short stint on St. Elsewhere, but you can't replace Kate Collins. They seem to be trying to style her like old Natalie with the hair, a bit in the clothes...it works if you are not in closeup. In closeup she reminds me of Christopher Norris. I think I dislike Dixie's hairdo here more than her short cuts. It's much too...mall-ish. Edited Wednesday at 12:11 PM by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted Wednesday at 01:43 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 01:43 PM I watched a few episodes with the New Nat once the Carter story and blindness story were over.. in order to see how she would do with Nat when not in peril. She wasn't too bad as Nat at all. She had a warmer and less neurotic demeanor.. and did well the few times the show bothered to write Nat with a bit of wit/sarcasm during her stint. She was a good actress, but playing the wrong character. @MaximErica in 1983, from what my mom told me, was her in peak form. She had obtained her life and career in NYC during that time and would come back to visit Pine Valley for events where her observations were so out of sync with the rest of Pine Valley.. it was almost comical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted Wednesday at 06:56 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 06:56 PM (edited) May I ask anyone to either confirm or deny this memory of Cliff & Nina's (first) wedding? Please register in order to view this content I recall that Phoebe did not attend because Palmer, following Nina's wishes, invited Dr. Tyler, who would be bringing Mona (seen center-left, daring to wear white to a wedding ). Dr. Tyler worked with Cliff, and he was part of Nina's treatment team, so it seemed like a natural request. But, Phoebe lived next door to Palmer, so she would be invited, despite the fact that she did not want to be in the space as the new bride of her ex-husband. However, I can never remember if Erica went to the wedding or stayed in the city? I always thought of there being a rift between Erica and Phoebe (given their various interactions throughout the 70s). Despite the idea that later writers tried to sell them as respected ol'pals. Which I track as starting at that anniversary episode when everyone gathered at the Martins (including Erica), to look at old family picture albums. One could hardly image Ruth Martin inviting Erica Kane over for tea and memories. But, it shows what a gracious hostess Ruth, and Mona, could be.

Members Jonathan Posted 21 hours ago Members Share Posted 21 hours ago I don't recall any scenes with Erica at Nina's wedding. She was probably in NYC at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
