Members Darn Posted May 19, 2020 Members Share Posted May 19, 2020 The magazines lost all journalistic endeavors a long time ago and that's so clear in this podcast, they're just promotional pieces for the soaps. They never ask any interesting or followup questions, they're so used to being mouthpieces for the networks. I do enjoy the podcast though but that's in spite of the hosts, I just like hearing the actors talk about their history on daytime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoria foxton Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Erika Slezak Interview 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 Her memory is incredible. She's able to recite full names and dates from events that happened almost 50 years ago. Michael doesn't get too deep but his affection for the genre and the actors he interviews is infectious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 I haven't watched this interview yet but ES looked fantastic on the soaps special. Makes me sad that we have missed the past eight years of the going ons of Llanfair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 She said she was offered two roles on the LA-based soaps, but turned them down because they weren't anything substantial. I wonder what shows they were - probably GH, but what's the other one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Ron probably tried to get Erica to play Vivian. Glad she has more class and dignity and didn't take these BS roles. Poor Robin trashed herself to play Vivian for 30 episodes and wasn't invited back. Loved how Erica called out her fav head writers (Malone and O'Shea and Carlivati) and indirectly shaded Higley. But she defended Frons. I never realized that Gillian Spencer was fired as the first Vickie. I wonder why since she ended up playing Daisy and was a story consultant to AMC for a while. Erica also mentioned that she was originally up for a new role. I think the role was Mary Kennicott on AMC.

Members Khan Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 If I've said this once, I've said it a million times: DAYS should have brought on Erika Slezak as Dr. Laura Horton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 I don't like to argue with Erika, but that's the only time I've ever heard that Gillian was fired, and didn't want out on her own. It doesn't make much sense (especially, of course, since there was a Vicki between them). And yeah, Erika, for some reason, has always been a bit too kind towards Frons I think lol. In that respect I prefer Susan Lucci and Agnes Nixon's take (two women who are usually loathe to say anything negative) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yes I find it hard to believe Gillian was fired. If you look at her track record in soaps her roles were usually short lived. From what I've read she has a lot of interests and probably wasn't too keen on settling into a long term role but happy to return every few years - maybe to top up the bank account. Daisy on AMC was her longest stint, but she was older by then and probably knew further roles were going to be harder to come by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
