Random Thoughts, Questions, & Ideas

In the years Susan Lucci has been playing Erica Kane, she has had
numerous storylines to play out. I think in view of AMC ending, it is nice
that Ms. Lucci gets to play out the coveted daytime part of “dual role.” I was not so sure when I heard the plans for this how I was going to like
it. I have to say that I am enjoying not only the storyline but Ms. Lucci’s
performance as well.
It is interesting to watch Ms. Lucci play the Real Erica, a bit
understated then usual fierce but somewhat helpless. None of her usual
tactics have been useful in gaining her freedom. She cannot even get the
second kidnapper to divulge his name. I thought it was chilling when he told
her how many things he has taken away from people previously.
As for watching Erica 2.0, that also has been interesting. Seeing her
drink not just a beer, but beer in a bottle was wonderful. While she has the
broad strokes down of Erica’s life, it is the small details that she messes
up on that make watching it amusing. The fact that David is on to her cannot be good. I am very curious as to what Erica 2.0 is after? She must have
money to fund the surgeries and keeping Erica stashed away, so financial
gain does not seem likely. She has Jack nipping on her heels if she wanted
him, but has not rushed him into a quickie wedding. Some people have
suggested that she or someone who is actually calling the shots and funding
her is after her businesses?
Finally, I thought that Erica 2.0 problem in how would Real Erica handle
the situation with her daughters was well written. Erica 2.0 thought about a
spa or shopping and Real Erica realized she had no clue how to handle this
because she was not their real mother like her. A few years ago Real Erica
was not the greatest mom. Though she loved Bianca dearly, she had problems
relating to her daughter’s initial coming out. As for Kendall and her it has
been a long road to a good relationship.
Just a few quick thoughts on other subjects:1. Why was Emma not at her sister’s funeral?
2. Glad Scott and Greenlee gave Madison and Ryan time to themselves with
the funeral, but happy when they both showed up at the end.
3. Griff and Cara have to be the two most annoying characters on the show,
and I think the closeness as brother and sister is a bit over the top.
Well, that’s about all for now. Have a great week.
I would love to hear from any of my readers.
