Members SFK Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 It added an almost surreal quality to her character. It really complimented the pretentious/dithering/drunk thing she had going. Oh, and while I've got you on the phone, I found your post at the beginning of this thread incredibly touching. The power of the soap opera when at its best. And here's to our AMC-watching mothers! :clink!: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Adam Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Some people call the Natalie In The Well Story as the beginning of the eventual downfall of AMC. To me, the story and Janet Green are among the best things to happen on AMC in its 2nd half. I only wish I was older so I could have experienced full force. Thank god for youtube! Janet Green I think has always been, and now will forever be my all time favourite All My Children character. Both The Collins and Mattson interpretations! Each brought something entirely different to the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Agreed 100%! That summer was so much fun! I remember my mom kept saying, "When the hell is Nat gonna get out of that goddamn well?!?!?"...but it was so entertaining! I liked Hayley & Brian's involvement in the story. Does anyone remember when Hayley caught "Natalie" (Janet) dancing to the heavy metal CD? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Oh, hell. Look at ratings for the week of Feb. 1, 1993: http://www.tadndixie.com/ReunionRatings.htm sad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 I remember this. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see the ratings for that week because I knew All My Children was on the verge of dethroning Y&R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 I remember the buzz... but I didn't really pay attention to ratings back then. I believe Feb. 1993 was also when Kendall was introduced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 And of course it led to the introduction of the Merricks and that story. I know many--or at least some--long time fans do see the Behr era as the start of the fall, but I just can't. That's when I got hooked (with the Janet in a well story), the show was nearly always second in the ratings and it had a lot of classic stuff. I wonder if they had to push hard for the story at all, in some ways it was like James Reilly was inspired by it to do similar stories but even more campy and even more long... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Pairing her with Charlie Brent didn't help... I admit I pretty much hated her the second time around, their cute online dating story (was that a daytime first?) etc--and was surprised how adorable and charming I found her when I saw 80s clips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) I read somewhere that he was an AMC fan during that time. Didn't DOOL do a similar story shortly after AMC's?

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 They did the burried alive story which I think (being a complete non watcher) was seen as the start of the first JER era really. (and of course which McTavish kinda ripped off to delight fans during the Madden storyline... ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 No, did they do a ''woman in a well'' story like a year after AMC's? Or maybe a fugly dark-haired woman (like JFAP) posing as a pretty blonde (like Nat)? I don't watch DOOL, but I remember reading something about all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
