Suds Report's AMC Move Updates

Nelson Branco just updated Friday's Suds Report today with shocking AMC developments.

It looks bleak for keeping not only Thorsten Kaye (Zach) to stay on the show, but the show's superstar, Susan Lucci (Erica)!

“ABC doesn’t want to lose Thorsten,” says a show insider. “In our eyes, Thorsten is the star of the show — not Susan Lucci [Erica]. We are doing everything to change Thorsten’s mind, but it sounds like he’s staying in New York permanently because of his family.”
Sadly, word is that Emmy winner Susan Lucci (Erica), who is reportedly still furious over ABC’s decision to move out west, is, as expected, planning to tell the AMC brass that she will not be moving to L.A., either! “Susan hasn’t told ABC yet,” the source continues. “Maybe she’ll change her mind but right now — her answer is no.”

The Suds Report also says that it is expected for Thorsten Kaye to portray his former OLTL character, Patrick Thornhart on the show, or bring his Port Charles character, Ian Thornhart to Llanview.

On the Lucci front, the Suds Report has word that ABC Daytime president Brian Frons has a backup plan in case Lucci were to leave!

A shocked network mole informs The Suds Report that ABC chief Brian Frons has a backup plan should La Lucci quit. “He won't recast Erica Kane, but he has his eye on two former superstar divas to come on to AMC in a new role to headline our show,” issues an insider.

Speculation is that those two aforementioned divas are Deidre Hall (ex-Marlena, DAYS) or Genie Francis (ex-Laura, GH; ex-Ceara, AMC).
