Members Khan Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 Considering we are talking about Megan McTavish, I shudder to think what those plans might have been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 From what I've seen, she was very entertaining in the '80s. Her '90s stint was mismanaged and was written badly. It's too bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yup, that was the start of the Silver storyline. Cecily was a great, fun character in the 1980s. Imo, her 1990s return was another example of a strong female neutered by McTavish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I think AMC's writers paired up Charlie with Cecily because they were ready to dump the both of them and didn't know what else to do with them." That is what happened to Devin and Chuck around 1984. They were going to be paired and written out, but the producers decided to keep Chuck and to reunite him with Donna. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 McTavish only had a few months, if that, to write for her. I'd put any blame or credit for her on Broderick/Behr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ghfan89 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 Didn't Broderick create the character? and Behr came in the late 80's when she was there. Kind of ironic, if true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I think so, yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Maybe we should just blame '90s Cecily on network interference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 I forget, what brought Cecily back to town in the first place? The Martin housewarming? I remember first seeing her then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EnglishTea Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 She was getting a divorce from Nico, and was going to stay with Aunt Phoebe, but Pheebs wouldn't let Cecily stay if she wasn't willing to ask Nico for alimony. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Go Phoebe! She wouldn't let any woman under her roof not have a backbone. I had forgotten about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) It didnt help that she came back with an ugly haircut that rivaled Dixie's look. The character simply didnt seem to fit in anymore Edited January 20, 2013 by Cheap21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Well, McTavish brought her back as a watered-down version. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt this once that network interference was involved, but the Cecily from the 1980s had much more of a backbone and would've definitely gotten alimony from Nico. It's too bad that her return was so mishandled imo because Rosa Nevin was great at playing a vixen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 So, network interference... it was ABC that brought Rosa Nevin back? Why were they so hot to get her back? Were Nico and Cecily even that much of a draw? Wasn't AMC kind of on a downward trend in the ratings while they were on lol? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Nico & Cecily were a popular couple. Definitely not as huge as a Angie & Jesse or Jenny & Greg, but still popular. BTW, why did they divorce? I can't remember.
