Members Khan Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 They must've brought back Maggie DePriest to pen that scene. Did someone make the Sam/Opal/Verla scenes available online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 I might believe that as like Cheap said if Scott was actually getting airtime and people were talking about him. I guess you never can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 Wouldn't it be awesome if the other body was Ray Gardner or Billy Clyde Tuggle? I could see David doing that just to [!@#$%^&*] with Tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 Scott wouldn't even matter at this point. I think it would be more then enough just to have Stuart and Adam interact again. I have a feeling the show wants to bring back Stuart and let David Canary play him one last time before it ends. Nothing else really makes sense. Unless they are purposely leaving out the fourth return to kick off PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 Off topic if anyone can answer this because someone I work with mentioned this. Zach's son was Ethan right? Is it true TK got the actor who played him booted off the show because he felt it made his character appear too old? Well if Scott doesn't matter I think I would lose a lot of respect for Broderick and I don't believe for a second she would leave Stuarts son out of any back from the dead scenario for him I dont care how inconsequential folks might think Scott is.

Members Skin Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 I doubt Thorsten had that much power at that point (or any point for that matter). He had only been on the show for two years when Ethan 'died' and James Scott was let go. It's more likely that he was just let go because Ethan held so little importance to Megan and the show. Once Zach was introduced Ethan lost any semblance of developing story and Zach completely took his place as the focus Cambius character in the Kane world. I would definitely say that it was one of AMC's biggest losses especially considering his work on Days practically revitalized the show when he came on making for must see television for months. This isn't the first time AMC has lost a performer and they later became a must see actor for their new show. But back to AMC both him and Simone (Terri Ivans) were completely forgotten about and that's putting it mildly. The characters existed solely for Fusion storylines and often were pushed aside like runts of the litter. I don't think anyone on the show ever had enough power to dictate storylines or get other actors fired. There is no one who has the power to stop writers from writing something. There are too many cases where an actor was dissatisfied with their work/story and yet the show passed by their concerns and wrote them anyway, with little to no change in light of the criticism.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 There WAS some gossip about TK wanting the Ethan actor off, but I don't think it was ever slightly confirmed. The Sam/Opal/Verla stuff was like classic, old school, comic AMC from the 80s (well aside from the sad fact that they didn't even have a school gym set and extras for the reunion). Just a lot of fun.

Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 Dixie in that chicken outfit did not make me laugh. David and Zach were hot, Zach whispering taking David aside, oh my, Ryan Lavery yelling at them was funny. That was a waste of Verla Grubs. She didn't fight very hard for her "man."

Members Angela Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 James Scott has alluded to somebody getting him fired in interviews due to issues the person had. I think he called it jealousy. Nelson Branco is the one who has straight out said it was Thorsten. James never mentioned a name. James also seems to be less bitter about the situation now than he was several years ago. Skin, that's not exactly what happened, IMO. It wasn't Zach overshadowing Ethan and Ethan fading away. If anything they were writing both Cambias men very annoying for a period with Zach's curse and Ethan's brattiness. The audience was fine with Kendall and Ethan and then they started writing Ethan like a jerk which allowed the Zach element to creep in. They started writing Ethan like a jerk-off because of BTS matters relating to James attitude (ego) from all the blind items being released at the time.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 I dunno, I woulda loved it to be a week long story of course, but didn't expect to even get more than a cameo from Verla, so I found it pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 Carol Burnett is pushing 80 so I'll take what I can get. I'm just glad to see Opal get a happy ending. The character deserves it. Probably more than any other character currently on the canvas, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 Completely agreed--she should have had all this happen months ago, and slower, but honestly it has been far more than I expected and was a nice surprise amongst the Orpheus stuff.

Members Jonathan Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 La Lucci posted this on facebook. Looks like there is an interview with her in an upcoming issue. This might be separate from the special commemorative book. Susan Lucci Be sure to pick up a copy of the September 19th issue of People to read about, "Life After Erica Kane"...
