I thought Surovy and Lucci still had chemistry. The story was just dumb.
The show was in a real corner with Erica because she had had very heavy stories for years when in the past there had been more of a balance with Erica. I think this was an attempt at restoring the balance, but it didn't work, so that just led to once again pushing the button of Erica's abandonment issues and self-worth issues with the scar story. I think that story was already something Erica had aged out of, although it is fine for a short storyline.
The few years after that, with David/Erica, Bianca's coming out, Kendall's return, are also decent years for Erica, even if the Chris pairing is a bust. But the character continues to become more serious and losing some spark.
By AMC's last 5-6 years I think they get a lot of the drama, comedy as well as campy moments wrong with Erica, whether it be unabortion, or sleeping with Ryan and having a rivalry with Greenlee.
You can't really imagine AMC without Erica Kane, but I sometimes think they would have been better off if Jackson and Erica had married in 2005 and left Pine Valley, with Susan making guest appearances afterward.
