Former CBS Daytime On-Air Promo Director, Susan Banks, Joins the Writing Team of The Young and the Restless
I hope she stays wherever she is.. ‘I will protest and write the TPTB to not ruin my great viewing pleasure that I am now having watching AMC.. Erica is not necessary.. Neither is Jimmy Carter as president.. Somethings need to stay as they are .. Lucci only wants in because the soap is doing well, if it weren’t doing well, she wouldn’t bother with it.. She was out from day one waiting to see if AMC would make it before she would put her foot in the door.. She was asked many many many times, and always had an… Read more »
you are crazy
You’re not the only one who feels that way, imo Erica Kane is the most overrated character in the history of soaps.
Susan/Erica would fit into the new era of AMC as well as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie would fit into a sz 32 jeans..
Erica… the character… No.
Susan Lucci’s energy’s channeled haphazard. longevity with character acting 2nd hand…she understood the actor…. the writing 1/2 met. Tom Cudahy Hot in those days…
i have to hand it to her… days trophy… new medium… interest with.
Actually, Susan had already expressed her interest in coming back before the show started. She didn’t know how well it was gonna do, but she wanted to be a part of it because it was her home for over 40 years.
Wow. Come on folks. Sometimes I read people’s post and I start to understand why we have wars and crazy bombings and such. First, Erica kane is the the solution to cancer. Susan Lucci may not be the greatest actress – others differ. It seems oddly enough people can’t separate the characer from the actress. The enetertaiment world wants Susan Lucci as Erica Kane or Erica Kane type. Some people hate Lucci it appears though I think it is the character really – Lucci isn’t at alll like Erica Kane which is probably a sign she is a good actress.… Read more »
you don’t have to question Lucci’s outside endeavors –
her hair products
her plugs.
her devious maids love that mark cherry… and deadly affairs… holding her afloat.
she’ll resurface and test her waters… over the top caricature… she aint.. but 2 showing it plus Erica….
I can’t hold her back better charges-I wine it and wait
She was out because she lost her job like many others, but was fortunate enough to get hired doing three different shows filming in three different states. That seems like a hard commitment for anyone to make.
I mean, go ahead and write your letter. But let’s be honest. Lucci, like her or hate her, IS the face of daytime still. And with the originator of the show, who’s made a point of noting Erika Kane is her favorite character, still onboard helping, I have a feeling your letter won’t go to far. ;-p
Bravo Boss and Chris I agree with you! SU000 always thinks she is righteous and everyone has the same opinion as hers and she can make it so that actors work on these shows or not depending on whether or not she liked them…..WHATEVER
Chris I agree like her love her or hate her she is AMC and she is still the face of Daytime, I can not wait for the announcement on what they were able to work out and the date that MS KANE comes home to Pine Valley, I’m sure Opal misses her Bestest girlfriend!!
Negative bitter haters will be haters. For your information, Susan has always wanted to be a part of the re-boot, but she like Michael E. Knight are under contract for other projects right now. That is why she is going to see if they can work around that. Many of the other stars of the show had to get other acting jobs when the show ended. They ARE people who have bills to pay and wanted to continue working as an actor even after the show was over. What did you expect them to do, stop acting and work in… Read more »
I think AMC is off to a great start, even sans Ms. Lucci. But, if she wants to jump in, I’m all for it!
Noooooo I stopped watching a few years ago because of Lucci overload.She eats the show
Shan.
You have to remember that Lucci in an ACTRESS, first and foremost. She is playing Kane the way a director/writer WANTS her to play the roll.
If you don’t like it, you’re probably not supposed to. That means she is doing her job.
Lucci is soap diva and she never was a good actress.. The soap awards for umpteen years told the world she could not act.. One award, maybe a pity award through her 45/whoever many years..
She can not act she struts, pretends,flaunts, flips hair, and well that is about it ..
He quarkkyness as an extreme diva gave her fame not her acting.. 🙂
Lucci’s fame was for being thee drama diva queen, not her acting 🙂
Susan Lucci has been with AMC since the beginning. She’s earned the right to come back. ABC lied to the actors and so did PP. When AMC was cancelled, PP said that AMC would continue online immediately with no break in storyline. Do I need Susan Lucci to watch AMC? No, but I would love to have her back. I have watched AMC from the beginning so Susan Lucci is a big part of Pine Valley in my eyes. I wonder if they will bring Jack back? Also, why do we have Jane running the coffee shop? Shouldn’t Krystal be… Read more »
I would love to see her join the reboot…one of my favorite AMC characters.
If the writers will allow the character to mature a little, it would be great. The character is not essential to the success of the series. This is NO slight against Susan, who was a wonderful ambassador for soaps for 40 years. It is just that the thought of a 70 year old woman still prancing around, trying to be a model, engaging in fleeting affairs…well…it is more than a little demeaning to both the actress and the character. She can still be feisty and fierce without being a joke. She can still have storylines that don‘t require her to… Read more »
Susan is 66 and she is a knockout. Erica lives a full, exciting, romantic life, it’s pretty inspiring. I can wait until she returns!
I can’t wait either. Some of the best stories on AMC revolved around Mona and Erika.
well said!
I so agree. The character never grew or matured. I am really enjoying the Bianca, Miranda, AJ storyline and I just think that having Erica back right now would be a mistake.
But it is all right for Adam to do it and make out with Brooke all the time tho right! Susan LOOKS AMAZING for her age!
People need to learn to READ these posts before offering a reply. Yes, I agree completely…she is a phenomenal looking woman…for her age or any age. I was commenting on how the writers never wrote her as older than a flighty self-obsessed 23 year old woman. She never grew or matured as a character. It is possible for her to retain her core Erica-isms while writing age appropriate storylines, but the writers never chose to. As for Adam making out with Brooke, which I never mentioned at all… they are in a committed relationship and moving towards marriage, so if… Read more »
Ms Lucci, glad your thinking of returning. It’ll be nice to see Erica/Brooke going at it again, to help her with Binx and the angst of teenage years of Miranda. Hope you really have your heart in it and not come back only to leave again.
That is what is missing from the new online episodes of All My Children. They really need Susan Lucci back. At the time when Lucci signed on to Desperate Maids, it appeared the deal for All My Children to return with new episodes online had soured, however, by 2013 the fire on the stove re-kindled and All My Children was returning, but Lucci was already committed to Desperate Maids.
Yes. I hope a deal can be made for her to return to All My Children online and I will be watching.
While I’m glad that AMC is back, it’s not holding my attention the way OLTL is. It’s probably because their is so much focus on launching and building the show on what were minor characters (Miranda, A.J., Cara, etc.) and new characters. This of course is because so many of the actors have moved on to other things and couldn’t or chose not to return. So I find it ridiculous that people are angry at Susan because she dared go on with her career after PP botched their original plans to relaunch. Susan’s dedication to AMC is obvious. She has… Read more »
ICAM! I want Erica back, along with Tad and Kendall. I can’t get invested in the new version because so much seems strange and off to me. I need more familiar faces and I need Kanes, not just a teenage girl. Susan Lucci, Alicia Minshew and MEK are missed and missed badly.
Beth,
Well said.
Beth I agree with you – maybe I’m one of the slightly older viewers, I don’t think that’s a crime, and I miss some of the more mature storylines. So, would love to see Susan Lucci return as Erica Kane – the teeny bopper storyline is a little too juvenile for me, though I understand that they are trying to attract younger viewers.
I can’t wait for her to return! I’d love to hear how Erica’s movie deal worked out 5 years ago and see how she interacts with her daughter’s daughter Miranda now. I can imagine Bianca having her hands full trying to stop her mother from giving bad advice to her daughter on how to land a boyfriend.
I would love to see Susan return as Erika! She really spices things up and she such a rich history with Adam, Brooke and Opal. But I do agree that I would like them to make her less of a sex kitten because at her age it just seems more appropriate to focus on other things in life. The skimpy tight as can be dresses really need to go. But I love Susan and her character as Erika.
and what will Miranda call her?
Norma. LOL
That’s a good question, what WILL Miranda call her –
Grandma Kane?
Granny Erica?
Grand Mama?
Old wise one?
I am looking forward to exploring more about Bianca and Miranda before they bring back Erica. The character has never grown or matured. If they bring her back now it will be all about Erica and not about her daughter and granddaughter. Seriously how old do you have to get before you grow up already. Bianca has her daughter to help and doesn’t need to have to cater to her mom too.
Kudos to Susan Lucci for say Erica needs not to curse to get her point across. I may sound like a prude but it really isn’t necessary. We’ve enjoyed the soaps without it for decades and didn’t seem to be an issue so why is it now? AJ seems to curse just to curse. It takes so much away from the character. Why cheapen the show with more cursing and showing more flesh just because you can get away with it now? Soon the younger generation won’t get to watch with their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, etc because of it.
I so agree with you – my grandson loves the soaps and watches GH everyday- will not allow him to watch AMC or OLTL the cursing and sexual content are not appropriate – so you are right they won’t be on very long if there are no “new comers” to watch-
I agree with you Mel and I’m no prude either – trust me I curse when someone cuts in front of me when I’m driving but I don’t need to hear that coming from a TV character – I don’t like this feeling of “we can curse now so we’re writing it that way” – why? I’ve watched the show for thirty years and didn’t hear “real” cursing. It’s not “real” life – it’s a soap. It’s entertainment. If I went to see Barbra Streisand in concert I don’t expect her to face the audience and start cursing, I expect… Read more »
It doesn’t mirror real life?? How many ppl have died from AIDS like Cindy Chandler & Stone from GH?? How many ppl have dealt with some kind of Addiction like Hayley Vaughn? How many teenagers do you see walking around Pregnant or pushing a Stroller with a baby in it Like Starr Manning, How many stories have been on the news about Teens Athletes and Steroids Like Cole Thornhart? So yea they do “Mirror” real life….
I don’t know what Mayberry town you live in that you think Swearing happens on a Downtown street…..
I agree with you Johnny. The one instance of cursing I loved on the new OLTL was when Blair shook her head and said to Todd “You‘re such an asshole.“. I literally laughed out loud! It was such a natural thing for her to say in that moment, and struck me as very real. And what an apt description for Todd. LOL. That line was loaded with 20 years of backstory. I think the new shows are doing a bit of envelope pushing to see what viewers want, and will accept. So far, even with their limited cursing, viewers seem… Read more »
I don’t live in Mayberry – if you like swearing and enjoy hearing it from the lips of soap opera characters that you evidently think are real life people, that’s fine. I live out in Vegas, I’d hardly compare it with Mayberry. I was expressing an opinion, and if you disagree, that’s all right. There is/was no need to be insulting ~
OMG Bring Erica BACK – SHE WILL BRING SOME LIFE INTO THIS SHOW !!!
Erica Kane would help anchor the show. And she would bring some spice. Bring back Lucci and I am glad she is willing or interested in coming back. She has been treated bady by ABC but she is thinking of the fans. Yes, she did wish he best to AMC when it got rebooted but she had or has two prime time shows and she has to work around those legal obligations. COme on folks Erica is ERica – some hate her some lover her but she is interesting – she is an icon having her grow olld and wear… Read more »
Honestly, I’ve been enjoying AMC, even with no Erica Kane…..I think if she wants to come back, that’s fine, but if she does I don’t want there to be a huge shift in story and all of the attention be devoted to Erica. As long as they keep it balanced like it has been, I’d be fine with an Erica Kane return.
I want to see Susan Lucci return as the iconic ERICA KANE – I also want to see Michael Knight return as Tad Martin. I’m sorry but the show needs these characters – and where is Krystal? I understand completely that they need younger storylines, I get that, honestly, and I know I am one of the Dixie/Tad age group viewers, but the Miranda storyline is a little too teeny-bopper oriented for me (personally) and Petey zipping around town is fine, but Opal Cortland as played by Jill Larsen deserves to do something more exciting than offering brownies to him… Read more »
I am enjoying AMC 2.0 — it’s a breath of fresh air. I think not having some of the old characters return made it easy to breathe life into the show. I *love* Susan Lucci, but I don’t miss Erica Kane one bit in the reboot. I’m afraid bringing the character of Erica back will mean the return of the old, tired Erica storylines of the past 20 years. I’d welcome the character back on a very limited basis.
Please find a way to bring Erica back.
There are many reasons why Erica Kane and Susan Lucci need to return to AMC reboot. First, like it or not, she is the most identfiable character and actor. Even her not being on the show or a former cast member brings AMC recognition and brand power. Second, this issue about Lucci’s acting and or not growing up. Blame it on the writers. Lucci has show she can act not only by over 20 daytime nomnations for acting but by doing other roles. Perhaps the strongest evidene of her acting is that she is so unlke Erica Kane. Third, Susan… Read more »
Erica!! Kendall!!!
I believe it is very unfair and cutthroat to condemn Ms. Lucci for not returning to AMC as hoped-for. While I believed that Ms. Lucci would have ideally returned to the role of Erica Kane and AMC by now, perhaps some of the hesitation in resuming the role was the result of Ms. Lucci’s skepticism as to the on-line format of the AMC revival; and as to whether the show would be of good quality and well-received by fans in the same. Also, let’s face it: Prime-time television roles, especially ones on popular cable networks, still have an allure for… Read more »
