Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 3, 2023 Members Share Posted October 3, 2023 Jamie Luner coming up makes me think of my most interesting encounter with AI chat & its rather severe deficiencies in knowledge of soaps. I asked it what character & show did Susan Lucci's daughter play & it replied: Liza Colby was played by Jamie Luner. I corrected it of course. But, it blew my mind because it gave me A Liza, just not the right Liza! So, now I'll say Did Liza Huber's Gwen on PSSN have a fanbase? Did Jamie Luner as Liza Colby have a fanbase & was she accepted even though she wasn't Marcy Walker? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 3, 2023 Members Share Posted October 3, 2023 There's no dispute that Frons loved those characters. That doesn't mean Pratt did not clearly enjoy writing for Zach. Nobody was forcing him to do that material, that's the point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted October 3, 2023 Members Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) The best thing Pratt did at AMC was Annie's crazy adventures and her tangled web with the Chandlers. JR and Annie honestly was his idea but of course others would get the praise. No! He was forced. He and Frons had early meetings about it which started the first wedge in their friendship. When Pratt first joined the show he was all about keeping Adam and the Chandlers and Erica upfront, and he had plans for Fusion but none of that materialized! He was only allowed to write for Missy Egan only because Frons liked her too! Edited October 3, 2023 by DemetriKane 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 3, 2023 Members Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) He was forced to write frontburner action story for Zach Slater and hated doing so? Cite your source. Edited October 3, 2023 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DemetriKane Posted October 3, 2023 Members Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Don't put words in my mouth. I never used the word " Hate". I said he was forced to add characters to storylines who probably would've never been a major thread in the storyline. I'll announce my source once I get my Reese article. Don't worry I'll wait...... Oh like most of the on-set things said about him? Yeah, okay. Everything that's he's been rumored to have done at AMC isn't true but he's an easy target and scapegoat.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 3, 2023 Members Share Posted October 3, 2023 Maybe you should just say specifically what you dispute? Isn't everyone on board that he told the actors to forget about their character's history? And he was going to be shaking things up? And that Ehlers was promised a story with Ricky Paull & then not given it? Are you aware of a LOT of things that you suspect are specious? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted October 3, 2023 Members Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) No. I'm good. I was willing to end the discussion when you and I last communicated. But I hate to see the guy constantly get bashed. It's like okay we get it he got hired and said " The famous quote highlighted". Y'all have established that for 2 decades lets move on.

Members Vee Posted October 6, 2023 Members Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Can do! I'm glad you waited, it's been a busy week recovering from my COVID booster. The above SON link from '09 repeats the material from a TV Guide interview with Michael Fairman that was posted at the time and is very real. I would've passed along the archive.is link but that site is being finicky tonight. There's more out there that I believe adds even more concrete detail, but that's a good start. Here's Tamara basically dropping a dime on Pratt and the show in The Advocate: Happy to help. Edited October 6, 2023 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted October 7, 2023 Members Share Posted October 7, 2023 I'd say KMH. In later years she had fans of Hal/Emily and Em/Paul, but I don't remember many EmilyFirstFans, per se. Her Emily was just a little too acidic for my taste. I'd put Lesli Kay in the same group. Before her pairing with Jake, she didn't seem to impress viewers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted October 7, 2023 Members Share Posted October 7, 2023 But see this goes against what you said though. He spoke about OTHER storyline options for Reese if she stayed around without Bianca and he ultimately stuck with the original plan. No. Because it's childish. Anytime someone brings his name up around here it's always the same tune. You suck it up! You guys are the ones UPSET that he can't write and ruined some shows, not I. Giggles..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 7, 2023 Members Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) He put it on Eden, but Eden quit early specifically because of the direction of that storyline (and Tamara was not far behind, declining to pick up her six month option with the show). Between that and another interview I can't lay hands on it's clear that what he describes here, using Bianca to intro Reese and turn her into a bisexual vixen, was in fact Plan A. The only reason he went back to Bianca and Reese is because both women quit. Edited October 7, 2023 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
