Members Jonathan Posted November 5, 2020 Members Share Posted November 5, 2020 Love seeing La Lucci on Live. Is Regis making a special appearance from heaven? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DemetriKane Posted November 6, 2020 Members Share Posted November 6, 2020 Why is Jula Barr always mia during reunions? It’s bothering me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted November 6, 2020 Members Share Posted November 6, 2020 The reunion was too short, especially with that many participants. It was pre-taped so everything had to be edited down. I'm sure there was content to fill the entire hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gimmetoo Posted November 6, 2020 Members Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) The LIVE reunion was all about Kelly...celebrating her 30 years w. ABC / Disney, so it was just Kelly's closest co-stars. I never got the impression Julia Barr was that close to Kelly so no surprise that she wasn't invited. It all was ridiculously short. Each actor was able to share their first impression / meeting w/ Kelly and that was it. Julia Barr was on an audio-only reunion to remember John Callahan shortly after his death. She sounded great...but YES I'd love to hear more from her years on AMC. You know she has lots of great stories !

Members DemetriKane Posted November 6, 2020 Members Share Posted November 6, 2020 Yes I understand this was more about Kelly but Julia was not included in the Entertainment weekly reunion or the home & away one from 2017 or even on the view when the show ended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted November 6, 2020 Members Share Posted November 6, 2020 Maybe Julia is kind of bitter over how she was treated? Just a theory 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted November 7, 2020 Members Share Posted November 7, 2020 She wasn't in the Hallmark reunion, was she? I don't think Kelly was there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted November 7, 2020 Members Share Posted November 7, 2020 No I don’t think Julia Barr nor Kelly was apart of that. This could be true I’m definitely getting Constance McCashion vibes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gimmetoo Posted November 7, 2020 Members Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) The Hallmark reunion was filmed in LA, so it was mostly AMC cast now living on the West Coast. Julia Barr lives in NJ. I think La Lucci was the only one who came in from the East Coast...most of the rest live on the West Coast (except Taylor Miller -- think she's Chicago-area). But in agreement -- we need to see and hear more from Julia Barr. She was integral to AMC success for many decades.

Members amybrickwallace Posted November 8, 2020 Members Share Posted November 8, 2020 Yes, Taylor Miller lives in Chicago now. Thanks for the info. It would be great to hear from Julia Barr, and I hope we will one of these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted November 8, 2020 Members Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately for Julia Barr, All My Children has produced a lot of stars and she gets lost in the shuffle and isn't top of mind when reunions are organized. Not to say she isn't important to the show's history, because she absolutely is. She is just competing with other castmembers: - La Lucci is synonymous with AMC and soaps, so she'll always be part of any reunion - Kelly Ripa is an alum who is highly visible because of her talk show (and is probably the wealthiest) so she'll be included in any reunions, as long as she's willing and available - Mark Consuelos is attached to his wife's hip, so he fills another seat - Debbi Morgan and Darnell Williams played the most iconic Black supercouple so they will get asked to participate in most reunions - Then there are other vets like Taylor Miller, Peter Bergman, Kim Delaney, and Laurence Lau who will get asked because of nostalgia - Finally, to round out any reunion, next-gen stars like Cameron Mathison, Josh Duhamel, Eden Riegel, etc. will get asked AMC had so many great characters played by some very charismatic performers, so it's hard to choose whom to include in these reunions.

Members All My Shadows Posted November 8, 2020 Members Share Posted November 8, 2020 I would never think Julia Barr feels bitter towards AMC or its legacy. She might be disappointed in how things ended (in 2006 and 2013), but she enjoyed 25 years of solid success on the show. I'm sure she would see any reunions/retrospectives as honoring that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted November 8, 2020 Members Share Posted November 8, 2020 Another thing is that no one ever seems to mention Ray MacDonnell. He was the only original cast member besides Susan Lucci to stay for the duration (not counting the time the show was produced in LA). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
