All My Children’s new head writers, Donna Swajeski and David Kreizman revealed, or at least teased, some of their plans for the characters of Pine Valley as viewers on-air see their scripts and stories begin to play out on air.  The duo spoke to SOAPnet.com about all the major characters on the canvas.  Here are a few excerpts below on their plans for Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Liza Colby.

Donna On plans for Erica: “Erica is someone who definitely needs to go back to her feisty self. I think she will find a new man coming in. She’s had a lot of bad marriages, but has she ever had the right man? A lot of men have left her and she’s left a lot of men, so I think she’s ripe to be in a good triangle between Jack and another guy.”

David:on plans for Erica: ”And [getting involved] with a guy who seems to be worst possible person in the world for her.”

Donna on plans for Liza:“That’s another thing. We do need to redefine her. She looks so different [than the previous actress who played Liza, Marcy Walker]. She came on with a different look, but I think she has to be the manipulative girl. She can’t be all over the place.”

David on plans for Liza: “From what we can tell, the audience is really starting to get a sense of her and accept her. Tad and Liza’s history is still there between these two.”
