Why does LJ always have ONTD on the front sign-in page?
Word. It's been annoying the heck out of me. Obvious marketing ploy. If you want to post celebrity gossip - at least post relevant and good celebrity gossip.
At any rate, it simply does not really fit the timeline, the in-show writing, or the general circustances that Lucci supposedly engineered the firing of a 16 year old girl (Wasn't SMG 19 by then?)
I think 16 is about right - since she was 18 when she started on Buffy. Buffy was about two years after AMC.
Noted while Lucci has no track record of feuding, SMG has a few known 'feuds' in her history... (Neve Campbell, Charisma Carpenter, and Alyson Hannigan among them).
I was thinking as I was reading through your post...that I'd long ago come to the conclusion that "that particular feud" had a lot more to do with SMG than Lucci. From what I read, SMG was the instigator. SMG has a long history of "issues" with her co-stars. She has this reputation in common with Shannon Dougherty - who equally didn't get along well with her-costars.
And as I vaguely recall - it wasn't just women, she has had issues with male co-stars too. (Marsters and Blucas had issues with SMG. Marsters describes her as his bratty younger sister. And apparently there was a falling out with Whedon.)
While as you state, Susan Lucci has always had a stellar reputation in the soap world as a professional and an extremely kind and supportive actress. A lot of soap opera actors are. Weirdly the divas tend to be more on prime time series.
