Members DRW50 Posted April 12, 2018 Members Share Posted April 12, 2018 Helen Gallagher was briefly on AMC as a head nurse wasn't she? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted April 12, 2018 Members Share Posted April 12, 2018 She considered Ellen a best friend, and Jenny a protege of sorts. Olga Svensen was always a friend / ally. She got along well enough with Nina and Daisy, mostly due to her close rapport with Palmer. And of course there's Myrtle, and Ruth as time went on... You're right! I almost forgot about that.. It was very brief, toward the end of Behr's time as EP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted April 12, 2018 Members Share Posted April 12, 2018 Erica seems to only like women she doesn’t see as a romantic threat (Opal, Myrtle). Of course, as much as I enjoyed the Opal/Erica friendship, Opal usually kissed her ass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 13, 2018 Members Share Posted April 13, 2018 Ironically, Nic Coster once named his role on AMC as one of his very favorite soap gigs!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dax7000 Posted April 13, 2018 Members Share Posted April 13, 2018 I felt Adam accepted the real Erica more than any other husband- even the nasty, ruthless side- provided he was in control of things. Unlike other husbands, he would have been happy to let her manipulate others, help her with petty schemes, etc. The problem was she never loved him and he was insane in certain ways. Jack drove me nuts. He was extremely preachy and arrogant. It drove me crazy in later years how he'd hold Erica to one standard, then ignore the truly heinous things down by Greenlee ((I hated them making her his daughter. HATED it)). I know they were accidents, but almost killing one of Erica's grandkids and later almost killing Erica herself? Even if she didn't mean to, those things happened because she was trying to kidnap the child and trying to frame Erica for a crime. I kinda blame AMC's horrible, horrible writing in later years. Even the ending- him walking out cause Erica wants to make a film instead of marry him for the 500th time- was dumb. He couldn't just go with her to Hollywood and wait? I liked Erica's friendship with Opal, but sometimes felt it was nearly one sided. Palmer commented on it in an early 90's episode when Opal was pregnant. Incidentally, I think Palmer might have been Erica's only true male friend. There's a really nice scene at the beginning of this 1987 episode with them. I like it cause Erica was actually shown trying to be a good friend to him Watching old episodes, I noticed something that leaves me confused. Brooke was Phoebe's niece and, if I recall, had a trust fund that Phoebe controlled when Brooke first arrived. Where did that trust fund go? If Phoebe was old money, surely Brooke should have been rich herself? I know she wasn't portrayed as poor, but I've seen episodes basically implying her character's not all that rich. I wonder if she had rejected her family's wealth? I really liked Brooke, but I felt the writers could have given her some type of personality flaw instead of trying to make her so sensible damn near all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted April 13, 2018 Members Share Posted April 13, 2018 It's interesting that you mention that because I trying to recall if Erica ever mentioned being close to Opal's daughter Jenny? Opal is the kind of friend who will dress up to go shopping in Manhattan with you and your kidnapped baby; and that's what Erica needed. Let's face it, her cat fights with Barbara, Brooke and even Tara were much more fun to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted April 13, 2018 Members Share Posted April 13, 2018 In the final years, I loved Erica and Annie's verbal smack downs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted April 19, 2018 Members Share Posted April 19, 2018 Erica makes up with Opal ( after treating her like dirt for the 12,000th time ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 19, 2018 Members Share Posted April 19, 2018 Did they ever say when Opal stopped having a salon in the mansion? (I always thought that was a bit odd...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 19, 2018 Members Share Posted April 19, 2018 You're not the only one. I'm sure Opal had enough money to reopen the Glamorama away from the Cortlandt mansion. Heck, even converting the mansion into a spa would have made more sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted April 23, 2018 Members Share Posted April 23, 2018 I wonder why a character like Chuck Tyler got paired with multiple partners but Cliff Nelson never had a successful pairing after Nina? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted April 24, 2018 Members Share Posted April 24, 2018 Cliff Nelson is from EON, Greg Nelson or Cliff Warner? Chuck's main and most popular LI was Donna, Tara was only interested in him sans Phil, and Carrie was a rebound marriage! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
