Susan Lucci pops up in Gloria Estefan's new music video for Hotel Nacional!

February 10, 2012

The actress who played Erica Kane for all she is worth and then some, Susan Lucci, has certainly been very busy since the cancellation of All My Children, with Army Wives, hosting a new reality/dramatic show, and now appearing in none other than Gloria Estefan’s new music video for her dance hit sensation, Hotel Nacional!

In this quirky video, La Lucci, who is mentioned in the lyrics of Hotel Nacional is seen strutting her stuff and cavorting with a bunch of handsome sailors! Estefan’s lyrics to the tune include a nod to the soap icon, which is why having Susan was such a natural fit, “White pearls, teased up hair … Lipstick’s red to make ’em stare … Drama’s on like Susan Lucci … It’s time for Hoochie Coochie.”

Watch Susan in Gloria’s new video after the jump, which was first premiered exclusively on EOnline!

Susan Lucci, has been very busy with 1. Army Wives, 2. hosting a new reality/dramatic show, 3. appearing in none other than Gloria Estefan’s new music video. And Michael, don’t forget number 4: ” Hot in Cleveland”. Seems Susan is having a 2nd chapter or even 3rd after AMC, but Susan knew she would. She was in no rush to start studying scripts again, especially if they weren’t associated with Agnes Nixon and the forum she was use to. Susan knew she would thrive; we all did. I want Ereka Slezak to showcase her talents in Primetime and win that… Read more »

Yes, Susan is great at promoting herself just like Erica Kane, which is why I prefer the class and dignity of Erika Slezak. Why can’t we see her instead? Please.

LOL to your request. Exactly David. I see you saw where I was coming from. If Susan is on anything, I go out my way to look at it, BC I have been a Susan fan forever. But, as I have gotten older it seems Susan and Erica Kane are one in the same, the arguement I have fought with people about for year’s in her defense. I simply can’t tell them apart : ( And then, all of those ‘ ‘Thank You’s ‘ after everything someone says to her, is just too much/over abundance/ and not quite what I… Read more »

This is the year Susan SHOULD HAVE WON…… I feel it was a message to her PEERS, and those WHO ROBBED her of that award out of jealousy! She should have won the EMMY for THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought I’d see it again BUT looked it up on YouTube after my post, and to my surprise the entire show it on it. Watch it and see Susan, be SO MUCH MORE than Erica!

Auh you’re a sweetheart. Thank you for seeing the issue on both sides. KEEP IN MIND, I agreeed with your position in my paragraphic long post. I just pointed out ( in contast) and what I know Susan can do, and how it would be FITTING to see her do more than Erica Kane types… and that is the reason I follow her waiting for the time it comes. She uses the same weapon (to keep the dough rolling in) they have used against her for year’s. Her beauty. What an irony. Thank’s David for having the expectation of Susan… Read more »

Hi David: This is 1loveabcsoaps. Is this your message that U replied to Iakovos/ david replied May 7th, 2012 at 7:07 pm ” No forethought and planning seems right. Oprah probably assumed OWN would be a success based on her past successes and because Discovery offered to invest. Employing her friends, without network experience, probably didn’t help either. Oprah turned down producing soaps because she thought scripted series were too expensive to produce, but compared to what OWN has lost, etc..” Is this you? Furthermore, Is this your message?

Hey Barb: I just posted above yours.

Erika Slezak deserve her own primetime sitcom. Although she said that she was open to join any of the four remaining soap operas, I just don’t see Slezak on theses soaps (not even on GH).

But on primetime, definitely. I’d follow Slezak and her potential sitcom on any channel, even on ABC.

I just got back from internet surfing ,mostly the soap sights ,I read at daytime confidential,that the hallmark channel is looking for some scripted dramas ,to bad they couldnt put one life to live on,once a week ,talk about giving erika slezak her own show again,the hallmark channel would have to get on there knees and beg abc to release the rights back to agnes nixon,any way its just a thought.also at facebook,(day time fans unite ) there is something there from p p.there was suppose to be news from them, I read the thing but its just the same… Read more »

Guest

Heather

I don’t believe crap that comes from Prospect Park nor do I think that One Life to Live will come back. ABC will never accept to release the rights to Nixon. That’s the cold hard truth. GH and Days are falling because they are failing to give the viewers what they want. They both emphasize too much on the same characters . With GH, it’s always Sonny, Jason and Carly , while with Days it’s all about Sami, EJ, Will, Hope and Bo. GH is a dark and depressing soap, while Days stories are just plain boring, ridiculous and unoriginal.… Read more »

yes she has been very busy as erika cane ,never thought about her that way ,your right ,years ago she was on a few ,made for tv movies cant remember what they were about.erika slezak is a good,if not one of the best actresses , she is the one who should be going all over the place getting parts for different roles ,if not her own show.as we have seen for 40 years she can be anyone,I miss her most of all.and yes she is as good as meryl streep.I would like to know what she is doing these days… Read more »

Barbara….!!!!!!!!!!!!! We talking about Susan Lucci, NOT Ereka Slezak and OLTL..!
Typical Barbara, going to talk about OLTL, no matter what the subject. LOL

Guest

david

Thanks for replying. You are right. The Erica Kane role has stereotyped Susan and not always for the best, but I hadn’t really thought about it until you pointed it out. Susan is a good performer and deserves a wider stage for her talent. I agree Susan could dazzle in a role other than Erica if given the chance. If we were all a little more fair and even-handed in our judgments (except when it comes to ABC canceling OLTL), the world would be a better place.

the way susan lucci and ereka slezak sounded off after the canceling of the soaps I dont think,and I could be wrong ,they would want to work for abc.I know I wouldnt, not after what they did ,by putting alot of people out of work,because of greed and nothing else,and I cant believe abc is making any money with the idiot shows they have on now, especially the one that they are paying people to go in to watch.I can see mickey mouse and daffy duck outside the abc studio now, begging people to go see there boring ,stupid show.sorry… Read more »

1loveabcsoaps,dont get mad at me but I cant watch,I never liked her (OPRAH),and I still think its to early for bobby to be doing a interview so close to her mothers death.oprah didnt help me when my soaps were canceled so I cant help her get her ratings up,oprah did not have to put the soaps on her network ,but her voice about the cancellation of the soaps could have meant alot.I hope the problem here is fixed,did you read about trevor st.john he and ron talked.

I really think Susan Lucci would shine on a sitcom. And in fairness to her, I think Erica Kane became bigger than life but Lucci must be a really good actress because everyone confuses Lucci with Erica Kane. But Lucci is a committed family person and hardly like Erica Kane which shows she can act. The problem is as I have said before everyone identifies so heavily Susan with Erica but you can’t say that about too many actors/characters. This isn’t logical, and the saem but not as much for Erika Sleazak, Lucci has stayed true to daytime tv. She… Read more »

Mark Consuelos Exits ‘Riverdale’

October 7, 2021

Last night, All My Children alum, Mark Consuelos (Ex-Mateo Santos) made what appears to be his final appearance for now on CW’s soapy drama, Riverdale.

Consuelos departed Riverdale as a series regular on the season 5 finale, after coming on to the show in its second season in the role of villain, Hiram Lodge.

Riverdale executive producer and showrunner, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, shared with Deadline a statement on Consuelos contribution and run on the series: “From the moment Mark joined us, he was up for literally anything, a hundred percent committed to making Archie’s life a living hell. And what’s funny is, Mark couldn’t be more different from Hiram. A classy pro and the sweetest guy, always looking out for everyone. We wish Mark the best and hope this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Hiram Lodge.

Consuelos offered up these sentiments in a statement on his Riverdale exit: “First and foremost, I would like to thank Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa for this incredible opportunity. Never before has playing a character that was so bad, felt so good. Huge thanks to the Riverdale fandom, to the brilliant crew and amazing cast, whom I consider dear friends and family.”

So, will you miss seeing Mark on Riverdale? Elsewhere, still no word on the “Pine Valley” reboot in which Mark and wife, Kelly Ripa, are two of the executive producers of that many All My Children fans were hoping would come to fruition. Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Beloved Soap Stars Left Out of 2021 Primetime Emmy Broadcast In-Memoriam Tribute

September 20, 2021

Last night, during the presentation of the 73rd annual Primetime Emmys broadcast on CBS, the annual In-Memoriam segment brought with it so many households names in a year that saw so many legacy talents and more pass away.

The tribute was performed by Leon Bridges and Jon Batiste to Bridge’s song, “River”, and as the images of the departed played across the screens from Cloris Leachman to Cicely Tyson, to Ed Asner to Michael K. Williams, and more, it was clear that several of the major late daytime soap stars were not included in the on-air tribute as well as other omissions.

Now granted, we know they will all be a part of next year’s 49th annual Daytime Emmy Awards in-memoriam segment, but still these actors were a part of this community and not only appeared on the soaps, but other shows as well.

Those that daytime fans noticed were not included were: Michael Nader (Ex-Dex Dexter and Dimitri Marick, Dynasty and All My Children) Stuart Damon (Ex-Alan Quartermaine, General Hospital), Ray MacDonnell (Ex-Joe Martin, All My Children) and Jay Pickett (Ex-Frank Scanlon, Port Charles).

From primetime MIA action were: Michael Constantine (Ex-Room 222), Tanya Roberts (Ex-Charlie’s Angeles), Director, Richard Donner, writer Larry McMurty, and DMX, to name but a few.

However, the Television Academy did list all of its members who died on their website in the In-Memoriam section, because due to time constraints, they could not possibly showcase everyone.

What do you feel about the omissions of Nader, Damon, MacDonnell, Pickett, and more from the In-Memoriam tribute? Let us know in the comment section, but first watch the segment.
