All My Children's Alicia Minshew Discusses About Hesitation Moving West
By Jillian Bowe on September 03, 2010
Parentdish.com talked with All My Children's Alicia Minshew about her new role as mother to daughter Willow and her initial reaction to the show's move to Los Angeles.
PD: Were you surprised that "AMC" moved West?AM: Yes -- shocked as a matter of fact. I said, "Well I can't do that. I am a first-time mom and there is no way I can pack up and leave with a newborn." Plus, my roots and family were in New York.
Minshew also reveals her plans to make Hollyweird her permanent address.
PD: What was the deciding factor?AM: There were a few. First off, we have so many friends out here in Los Angeles and the AMC cast is my extended family. We also knew Richie was able to hire some great managers while he was away. Third, we know this was temporary. We are renting a place and know ultimately we will be back in New York because we want to raise our daughter in New York City.

It's about $$$. Where else is she going to get a steady job that pays mid six figures? Sorry, why wouldn't she take advantage of the chance to feather her nest egg and meet w/ Hollywood casting agents?

As time moves on, Alicia might enjoy the bicoastal experience. It has always been said that actors must go where the work is.

I completely understand where she's coming from. New York is home to her. LA isn't.

I truly hope Alicia and AMC can work out something once she moves back to NY. I will be crushed if she ends up leaving AMC for good

I don't blame her for not wanting to say in L.A. She has kids now and things chane. Besides, she didn't say she was going bac New York this minute. Willow could be a teenager before she leaves.
