In her new memoir "All My Life" out September 13, Susan Lucci (Erica, AMC) includes an emotional chapter on the subject of AMC's cancellation. Written before Prospect Park announced its plans to continue AMC on the Internet, Lucci reveals how she found out that Brian Frons was poised to make the announcement and vents her anger and frustration with what she views as a series of bad decisions made by Frons that squandered the daytime institution she'd called home since 1970. "There's little doubt in my mind that this plan must have been in place for some time," she writes. "One big question that keeps me up at nights is, "Did Brian Frons have this on his agenda when he moved the show to L.A.?" Lucci also lets loose for the first time about AMC's ex-head writer, "If Chuck Pratt's intention was to come on board and mess with the history and integrity of our show, I believe he was successful in his efforts."

Chuck Pratt, AMC's former head writer, doesn't have many fond memories of his time in Pine Valley, but he does recall "when we did the tornado and we dug through the rubble and instead of finding Kendall, we found Bianca. That was a moment. It was a great moment to be a part of. Our ratings went up, and I was attempting to get a younger audience with the show, and it gelled for a while but then it didn't really, in the end, work out. It was sad. I was sad to go, but I left behind a lot of good writers and I think we did a good job, but it's unfortunate how it all turned out."

J.R. Martinez (Brot) was interviewed in the AFTRA (American Federation of TV and Radio Artists) Magazine's Summer 2011 issue. On page 26, you can read all about the land mine that changed his appearance and his life, his role on AMC, and his future as an actor and motivational speaker.
