Members Max Posted September 8, 2011 Members Share Posted September 8, 2011 Although I don't know all that much about AMC's history, I really like watching the friendship between Erica and Opal. I was hoping the AMC experts here could please provide answers to the following questions: *How and when did the two women meet? *How long have Erica and Opal been best friends? *What caused them to become friends? *Have Erica and Opal always been best friends? *What has been the biggest threat to their friendship?

Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 I remember Palmer was talking to Erica about not having any female friends and it was his idea for Erica and Opal to become friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 Erica and Dorothy Lyman's Opal were never friends. Erica became friends with Opal once Jill Larson took over the role. Their friendship started when Opal was trying to change her image to impress Palmer. One day, both ladies were at the Glamorama and Opal reached out to Erica and solicited advice on proper etiquette. From that moment on, they became best gal pals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 If there was a threat to their friendship it's Opal belief that Erica looks down on her or doesn't really care about her - this flared up around the time that Erica was close to Janet and Skye (I really wish the show had done more with those relationships).

Members Cheap21 Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 Its hard imagining Erica ever having anything to do with DL's Opal. Erica was at the height of her career then and Opal was well, lets face it...trash. I think this only was able to become a possibility after Erica had settled down (well relatively) and Opal's edges had been smoothed out by the recast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 DL's Opal actually spotted Erica in 1983 when Erica was on the run for Kent Bogard's murder but showed up to the funeral dressed as a nun. That might have been the extent of their interactions during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 9, 2011 Members Share Posted September 9, 2011 I don't recall, I was just a little kid watching sporadically, but they most likely crossed paths as Jenny sorta joined Erica's circle via Olga through the modeling. Dorothy may have been over at Mama's Family full-time by then, not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
