Members ellabelle Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 ^ I still can't believe they had her lose that baby. Erica wanted that baby so much. And what did we get out of it? A crap-tastic storyline of Erica kidnapping Maria and Edmund's baby. Such a waste! I would have loved to see Erica raise a little boy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 The story was so unbearably depressing. I think the show did this to explain why she kidnapped Maddie, but none of this, this or the kidnapping, was ever needed. There was a lot of backlash at the time, but I've always wondered how much was fan anger at Erica and how much was just distaste over the storyline and the regression (if you can even call it a regression, as Erica didn't do anything like this in her wilder years). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jonathan Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Jess Walton totally stole that Emmy from La Lucci! Jess was literally in 2 episodes all year long and BAM she wins! If not La Lucci, Genie should've won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yes, it was depressing, and the whole role Skye played in it infuriated me. Erica had known Skye for YEARS, and they'd been friends during the Jonathan Kinder storyline, so her sabotaging the paternity test, just to try to get closer to Edmund was such crap. She knew she was going to wreck Erica's marriage, but she did it anyway. I would have much preferred that Erica get knocked up in 1994 or so when she was back and forth between Dimitri and Jack and not know who the father was. That would have had far more dramatic potential, and it was something that would have been actually in character for Erica. In that sort of scenario, I could see her being unsure of who or what she wanted, but knowing that she wanted the baby no matter what. I could see both men actively pursuing her and even more possessive around her because of the pregnancy. I could see Bianca throwing a hissy fit over her mother being pregnant, and Travis being furious that she might be having Jack's baby given the history. Plus SMG's Kendall was still on the canvas at the time, and it would have been interesting to watch bitter angry Kendall see Erica rejoicing in a pregnancy and doting on her new baby. Oh, and if Dimitri thought the baby was his, I could see him trying to woo Erica back to Wildwind, where a bitter infertile Maria is pissed that Erica just up and got pregnant and doesn't know who the father is. That is a story I would have loved to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 That also would have been around the time of Mona's death, which would have added more drama. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EnglishTea Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 I, for one, would absolutely not want this to be the result of the cliffhanger - just too damn sad. I would prefer that JR attempted to shoot the room up, but was caught and stopped, and entered Oakhaven - the show could start with him coming back to Pine Valley. Brooke, Adam, Marian and Stuart have moved to Pigeon Hollow, and could always come for a visit - after all Brooke owns Chandler Mansion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Maybe it was a premonition or maybe SL was ever so subconsciously tipping her hand, but I was very surprised when an ecstatic Erica told Dimitri that she was pregnant and I didn't quite believe/accept it. The miscarriage wasn't a surprise to me. I think it was a crap way to build up to the kidnapping which was way more Janet Green/Helena Cassadine territory (if not played in an off-Broadway poetic style like Grace Kiefer). Erica would just torture Maria. I did however enjoy the scene where Erica finally came clean to Maria. Susan did some very nice work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 LOL. Just watched this episode on SOAPnet. I think this should've been how RB/Greenlee went out instead of the motorcyle crash a week later (skip to 4:20) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 LOL...I love the title to that video. I always hated Erica's outfit. It was ugly as hell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 I think I'm distracted more by the sight of Erica catfighting with a woman half her age and young enough to be her daughter. But at least what she's wearing is more age-appropriate, IMO, than the parade of endless, strapless, sleeveless numbers that seemed to define La Kane in ALL MY CHILDREN's final years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ellabelle Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 Greenlee was a better Kane woman than either of the real Kane daughters. And frankly, I thought Rebecca Budig looked more like Susan Lucci than Eden Riegel or Alicia Minshew did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 Remember when Bianca was a major bitch when Gina Gallagher played her? No wonder Kendall hated her. I was just watching the episode when Bianca ruins Kendall's bridesmaid dress by pouring black ink all over it. Little bitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
