Members Adam Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Erica and Brooke as family definitely was a missed opportunity. Although, I have to say, next to Brooke, Maria was definitely Erica's best rival during the 1990's at least. Eva and Susan had excellent chemistry together as sparring partners. Erica was one of the few who actually called Maria out as the sanctimonoius, hypocritical shrew that she truly was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) The Edmund discussion reminded me about this candid interview with ELR about the whole mess. Edmund was originally supposed to die in Feb 2004 as a consequence of the gunshot he sustained on New Year's Eve at the hands of those people Carlos and Juan Pablo were involved with.

Members EnglishTea Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I blame this mostly on Megan, which may not totally be fair, since I think Frons, ABCD and Disney were just as accountable for taking out their displeasure with an actor on the character, which lead to many OOC moments and just mean spirited storylines.

Members LeClerc Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Do we know what John Callahan did to get on McTavish's sh*t list? Her initial method of killing off Edmund (having him take a bullet for Maria) would have been a noble end for the character, so something must have gone down subsequent to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'd like to know as well, LeClerc. I know John Callahan was having an affair with Amelia Heinle (ex-Mia), which caused much drama on-set, as well as the end of his and Eva's marriage. But surely, Megan didn't take that personally? (OTOH, maybe she wanted to tap Amelia's ass and was jealous? Who knows, really?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 I always saw Edmund's exit as more due to age and Frons - Edmund was going nuts before McTavish came back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Charles Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Speaking of Faux-Silver - I love her from the clips I've watched; too bad she couldn't have stayed long term, The real Silver wasn't as good, IMO. I love this clip of her when Erica attended the Gaby Awards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDe-sZHb1BA&list=UUrAQoHm88snxJef4xHyZj8w&index=141 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Never saw that full Gaby clip (thanks!) but Erica mouthing "I love you all!" always cracks me up whenever I watch the All About Erica video. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I second that! Khan, write your own Bible and have a lawyer sumbit it to the writing team at PP AMC so you can get a shot as a writing intern or something. You know, work your way up. I'm not sure who the Project Runway guy is, but just from what you've described, I can totally picture this sweet kid of Belle's.

Members EnglishTea Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ageism was definitely prevalent starting with the Disney invasion and Frons. I don't think it was quite 40 plus, more like 50 and over as the targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 AH I completely forgot about Di--I liked her. Such a waste. I think I blocked out Fight Club Ryan that was just... odd. I guess it was going for something different in soaps, and I appreciated in a way that they tried to give Ryan depth with his abusive father, but it didn't work. (And then his sister was killed off by Megan's last major story the Satin Slayer--no wonder people found the show a mess and too dark in the second half of her 2000s reign). In this clip I will say at least they made the fight club look semi decent budget wise... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TjqmhQKrxY And I think, overall, I'd agree with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yeah frankly his destruction started under Rayfield if not even a bit before (it was under Rayfield he would love Maria up and feed her drugs). McTavish at her worse is way too eager to do execs bidding, but I doubt it was her decision. That ELR interview is one I'd never read and just--wow. What an awful situation. Umm I have most initials down but who is TKFP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted January 10, 2013 Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 LOL. "That Kit Fisher Person" Yeah, I wasn't a fan of what little I had seen of her. Edmund's destruction sucked. I really hadn't minded Megan's return up until then and then it really did all go to hell. Such a shame. The show had a lot of things in place at the time and could have really been revitalized. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
