Eden Riegel Takes High Road With AMC's Chuck Pratt
By Jillian Bowe on July 07, 2009
Michael Logan: Speaking of your groupies, do you watch Pratt Falls?Eden Riegel: Ohhh, yes! Can you believe that show?
The two gals who write that series are scathingly funny. It’s terrific satire!
It’s so brilliant. And so perfect. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.
They really skewered and roasted AMC head writer Chuck Pratt for that interview he gave me in TV Guide Magazine—the one where he blamed the Reese-Bianca storyline mess on you for leaving the soap earlier than expected.
I know. The Bianca fans really took that to the nth degree. They are so protective. Everything happened so fast [with the AMC story] that there wasn’t time to really build to the idea that Reese would make out with Zach the night before the wedding. A lot of people found that unforgivable. It was the first gay wedding. People wanted it to be pure. She was making out with Bianca’s brother-in-law!

Ah Eden, classy as always. Chucky Chuck could learn a thing or twenty from her.
Bianca was not only the heart of the Kane women, but the heart and moral center of AMC. If Pratt can't respect her, then he doesn't respect the show.

Pratt has some nerve when he tried to blame eden for the horrible turn out of breese.Why frons ever hired him is beyond me oh yaeh they worked together on santa barbara.I dont get it pratt wries for amc but he works out of la.Thats a big mistake my feeling always has been when you head write a soap you should always be around your actors so you can focus on there work and see if whats on the page is being delivered on the stage in pratts case thats a lost cause

I so miss Bianca. I couldn't watch AMC anymore after she left. I only watched the youtube clips when she came back to get Reese. That storyline had so much potential. Sigh!

That was awful they way the set Reese up to kiss Zack. A mess of an otherwise touching storyline! Also, they way it was used to bring attention to Greens/Ryan/ Kendal- horrible! TPTB need to bring the happy couple back for a redux and pronto!!!
