Deluded Susan Lucci still thinks All My Children reboot is still going to happen.

Sad. The show ended 12 years ago. It isn't going to air ever again. The reboot is just something Mark and Kelly keep floating around. ABC would have picked it up years ago if it was going to happen.

So probably be forced to resort to making anyone who visits her house reenact new episodes in her house or something.

Absurd she is getting a LIFETIME achievenent EMMY when so many more deservubg, enduring daytine stars don't have one. Rosemary Prinz, Jonathan Frid to name 2. It's just a thirst trap to get people to watch a very boring ceremony and have Shemar there to re-create the truly GREAT moment she did win in 99.

Wasn't "Pine Valley" actually more of a "spin-off" as opposed to a a reboot of "All My Children" anyway?

Doubt it will happen, but I'll give Lucci some slack here, because COVID shut most projects down in 2020 for quite some time, and then the recent union strikes had similar impact.

Bitch blocked Cali Timmins ftom joining AMC as a Liza replacement so fuck her.

You miserable bitches go to hell! Susan is good friends with Kelly and Mark. She wouldn’t had said that if she hadn’t got an update of sorts from them.

Also, who the fuck is Rosemary Prinz? Hello. Anyone. Anyone. Bueller. Bueller. Susan’s the fucking Queen of Daytime Drama for Life. Everyone, whether they watched soaps or not, know who Erica Kane is. You hateful bitches!

Adding to what R5 said, how many daytime soap stars have ever been popular/well-known enough to host Saturday Night Live? I think Lucci is it, a list of one.

Isn't Susan Lucci something like 80 years old now?

Susan Lucci has certainly done well for herself, given her very modest acting talents.

Jonathan Frid, R2? I love Dark Shadows, but he was on a soap for four years and royally screwed up his lines in every episode.

Susan Lucci played Erica Kane for the entire lifespan of All My Children (41 years) and was nominated for the Emmy 21 times. She's far more deserving of the honor than Frid. She's also still alive to show up!

I can’t see her wanting to be away from her garden city home for too long. She should take comfort in knowing Brian frons never got another job in television again.

She stole my career……and achievement award.

CUNT!!!!!!!!

[quote]Also, who the fuck is Rosemary Prinz? Hello. Anyone. Anyone. Bueller.

Rosemary Prinz is best known for playing Penny Hughes on ATWT from 1956 to 1968 and returning for short visits several more times over the years. Penny was a wildly popular character and was part of one of the very first soap super-couples, Jeff and Penny.

Because Prinz was so popular, Agnes Nixon hired her to help launch AMC in 1970. Prinz played Amy Tyler, the wife of Lincoln Tyler and the sister of Ruth Martin. The Amy character was actively involved in protesting the Viet Nam War, a first for a character in daytime. Prinz was only there for six months, but had above the title billing for throughout her time there.

In 1974, she also stared in the short lived NBC soap How to Survive a Marriage.

She later went on to play Sister Mary Joel on Ryan's Hope.

Thanks Mona, but it's useless to explain history to morons who think soaps started with Luke and Laura. Lucci is an icon, but pre-Daytime Emmys and the production standards of the late 60's-mid 70's being upgraded, Lucci should acknowledge those who came before her. She was AMC when Prinz was there. Eileen Fulton and Robin Strasser were just as esteemed for playing the 'bitch' as Lucci was. Hell, Fulton understood p.r. far better than anyone in soaps had before she came around. As for Jonathan Frid, 'Barnabas Collins' is EVERY FUCKING BIT as famous a soap character as Erica Kane. He was mezmerizing and if he flubbed his lines from time to time, it was forgivable. Not even Barnabas had as embarassing a storyline as confronting a bear ala Erica.

Walt Willey is alive, get Eden Riegel, and Julia Barr, that's the show. Kelly and Mark are too much themselves to be Haley and Mateo. I want to see Rudolf Martin, remember Anton Lang? So hot.

We will see a reboot of The Secret Storm before we'll ever see any form of All My Children back on air. Lucci is just doing what she does very well, milking her fan base.

This is another call for the creation of a soap opera podcast. A few episodes a week with continuing storylines from established IP.

Not only did she lift the lid on the reboot, she also seems to have lifted the lid to her face!

I'm sure it's being considered. Doesn't Peacock have a daily soap right now? And Amazon has revived Neighbours for Freevee. The streaming business has matured. Now that everybody on earth subscribes to at least two streaming services, the focus is less on gaining viewers with a shift to just keeping customers. (Daily) soaps may be just the right way to keep people attached to a service. We'll see if Freevee's and Peacock's shows get enough viewers to survive. If they can, I'm sure All My Children and all the other dead soaps will try a comeback.

I was told to report to the set of "Secret Storm" on Jan. 3rd.

I, for one, will NOT REST until there's a reboot of "Portia Faces Life."

The Daytime Emmys are and have been a joke for nearly their entire existence.

They have been so unfocused about Lifetime Achievement Awards. I could name 25 performers, easily, that should have been awarded LAA's in the last decade or so, but most are now dead. They did one mass awarding while many of those folks were still alive, but so many more deserved it.

Yet again, it's all about Susan.

I'm sure you meant CARERR and ACHEVIMENT, Brendad.

She's a WHORE and she's 95 years old if she's a day!

I can see if I can get her on [bold]MY[/bold] show. We just had icon Dick van Dyke on recently. She can play his long-lost mother...

It's called a NAP, Susan Lucci.

ABC still owns All My Children.

If ABC ends up doing a sequel series called Pine Valley, it most likely would air weekly in ABC prime time schedule or on streaming services that ABC's parent company, Disney, already owns -- Hulu or Disney+.

From everything I read, the Pine Valley sequel was always intended as a weekly series, never as a daily show.

I mean the people who watched the show are either dead or moved on.

r29 So is most of the cast.

TOLN was ahead of its time when it bought the rights to AMC with the intention of keeping it running in 2010. The audiences and actors didn’t get it though: “we have to watch on our computer?” Too bad. Show could still be running. I still miss it.

Sus should show up on Y&R as the re-animated corpse of Eve Howard. EMMY!!

She looks like a stepsister, forced to buy cheap makeup for a fortieth-high school reunion due to a lack of funds.

[quote]Dee Dee Halls (still employed, thank you)..

Don't forget Brian Frons wanted to hire Dee to play Tara Martin back when AMC moved to LA and Days fired Dee for budget reasons.

[quote]The Daytime Emmys are and have been a joke for nearly their entire existence.

The Daytime Emmys were first given out in 1974, four years after All My Children premiered.

GENERAL HOSPITAL and DAYS OF OUR LIVES had been airing since 1963 and 1965, respectively.

However, it was in the '80s and '90s that the Daytime Emmys (and soaps) were most popular.

They were held in big venues with a red carpet and press coverage and got decent ratings akin to the Primetime Emmys.

[quote] The audiences and actors didn’t get it though: “we have to watch on our computer?” Too bad. Show could still be running. I still miss it.

Unfortunately, the Prospect Park reboots were ahead of the streaming curve by about a decade. Viewers willing to watch shows that way has increased every year since, and one could argue that it's basically the preferred method to watch these days, especially daily soap operas.

R34, that's not what Susan Lucci said, she claimed that they were going to bring Deirdre Halls on as Mona Kane, Erica's mother, who hadn't died after all and had been in the witness protection program.

[quote] This is dreadful

Well, of course, it's a Kelly & Mark production. Did people expect anything else?

Hmmm ... perhaps La Lucci is on to something. .. Tracy Underwood, the executive at ABC Signature who was originally shepherding the Pine Valley project back in 2020 and said to be a big supporter of its revival was just put in charge of that business unit last week.

Bring back Dorothy Lyman as opal gardener.

[quote] As for Jonathan Frid, 'Barnabas Collins' is EVERY FUCKING BIT as famous a soap character as Erica Kane. He was mezmerizing and if he flubbed his lines from time to time, it was forgivable.

Sweetheart, Jonathan Frid was a terrible actor. He had a very short shelf life and was pretty much forgotten by 1972. And it was more like "from time to time" he actually got his lines right. It would be like giving Bobby Sherman a Lifetime Achievement Grammy.

She's long morphed into "Nancy Kovack" a.k.a. Darrin's pre-Samantha-marriage girlfriend on "Bewitched" and '60s B-horror film starlet.

R43 your fucking ignorance is all you offer. Frid was a classically trained stage actor who found - like Batman's Adam West - typecasting hell. I have no clue how old you are, mentally I'd guess 11, if you don't know how overworked the man was, not just with the 'acting' but the promotion of DS, and the MGM movie which was a HUGE hit, don't compare him to Bobby Sherman. LOL. The AWFUL Johnny Depp DS movie had Depp offering a part to his 'hero' Frid, then also casting Christopher Lee in a tiny, meaningless part. Frid knew it was all b.s., even though he died shortly after. Frid put his mark on daytime tv, he is deserving of recognition. Execs got the message there was a youth audience out there.

She looked HUGE tonight. She must have gained 20-40oz since her show got cancelled. Step back from a second helping of air at the dinner table, Susan.

Take a fucking valium, R45, because at your age, you're gonna have a stroke. And over what, some two-bit has been who was a soap star for five minutes? The guy was a terrible actor, wooden as they come. Plus he couldn't remember lines for shit. I think his average number of flubs per episode was seven. And it was a half hour show.

Bring back faux Silver. 👓.🥈

It's probably old age dementia.

Susan is estranged from her daughter Liza which is so sad. She made a point of thanking her son Andreas for being with her at the ceremony while her daughter went totally unmentioned. Liza was estranged from her dad as well prior to his passing. Liza and Susan don’t follow each other on Instagram. Susan gives off major Valerie Cherish vibes but seems kind hearted. Since Helmut’s passing, I feel so sorry for her. She seems a bit adrift and I’m sure this award meant the world to her. She’s likely a little depressed today. Poor thing.

Oh wow, anyone know what caused the rift?

What in the world happened!? Susan is crazy in love with those grandkids. Oh Liza, how could you do this and then Helmut died. For Shame. Call your mother!

The real Susan is a cunt. Liza has distanced herself from that toxic mess.

No she’s not r53. Susan has and always had a reputation as one of the nicest people in show business. She has LOTS of friends from her time at AMC.

R54 do you also still believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy?

Whatever the rift, Liza was fudging things when she wrote that they've been estranged for 10 years. You can find photos of them together into 2019. And that year, Susan even posted a photo and message on National Daughter's Day (who knew that was a thing?) where she wrote how proud she was of Liza.

While Lucci thanked her son Andreas and of course, mentioned Helmut, while failing to mention Liza at all.

No idea what caused the rift, but I found myself thinking that Lucci could have so easily said, "Liza, I miss you and I love you" during the speech. Here was a perfect opportunity to try to heal the relationship and she didn't use it.

The fact La Lucci didn't do anything like that indicates this is not a one sided feud.

And why in the hell was she getting a lifetime achievement Emmy? Where's Victoria Wyndham's Lifetime Emmy? Bev McKinsey's Posthumous Lifetime Emmy? Not going to take her star power away from her, but there were more deserving actors.

No one gives posthumous awards anymore because it's not about the achievement, it's about the press ops.

I actually met her once when I briefly worked as a statistician for HSN. She was tiny! I felt like I could snap her like a twig. But she had a beautiful smile -- almost like she glittered.

I never watched All My Children. But when I still lived "up home" in the 'burg and AMC was really popular, there was a shabby restaurant "on the Hill" called "All My Chicken." Cracked me up every time I drove by.

[quote]I felt like I could snap her like a twig.

Why didn't you???

The Lucci segment lasted more than 13 minutes. Add the commercial break at the beginning and end, and they filled more than a quarter hour of the entire broadcast.

So you're saying the broadcast was actually entertaining for once.

Only one R is Deidre.

But on DataLounge, we frequently call her Dee Dee Halls.

Oh dear,

No C in Viki when it comes to the OLTL actress.

This is NOT delusion! She was the greatest daytime star of them all.

My understanding is the Lucci/Liza feud has to do with what else money. She wanted her parents to invest in a business she was starting. They turned her down and she stopped speaking to them .

Parents who won't give some money for their daughter to open a business? And quite wealthy people at that!

Wow! What a way of saying you don't believe in your daughter.

[quote] Parents who won't give some money for their daughter to open a business? And quite wealthy people at that! Wow! What a way of saying you don't believe in your daughter.

No, that's a way of saying "You're approaching menopause, Liza. We can't carry you your entire life."

Parents are often less enthusiastic about handing over more money to adult children if there's a spouse in the picture that they're not totally on board with.

Well according to the Internet, Liza Huber still runs Sage Spoonfuls, baby food for the whole family. Her shit sells at Target. Why should Susan have to cover her ass?

[quote] ... baby food for the whole family.

Does that mean you can spoon feed it to elderly who don't have a proper set of dentures?
