Hi, Christine! We must have been typing at the same time. Sorry about your car troubles but you must admit it's a little ironic considering you work for AAA.

Hope you get the car issue resolved soon and get adjusted to the day shift. Crank up that VCR, girl! You're missing some good stuff!

Thanks Aprille. I am just greatful that I can use my brothers car. My stepdad does all repairs on my vehicle and wouldn't you know my car dies when he is out of town (with my little brother in Oregon). Just my luck!!

Well off to bed for me, getting very sleepy. Take care all!!!!

Now if anyone has 3 weeks worth of the shows taped I would love to see them. LOL

Welcome back, Sarge! Glad to hear that you and your family had a nice trip, despite the rain! I don't know what it is with this year and rain - it seems that it's been raining constantly in every part of the country, this spring.......except in the West! It rained almost every day when we were at WDW, too, and then we came home to...........rainy days here in New Jersey! But the sun has finally come out, and it's finally starting to feel like summer, here! Would you happen to have any vacation pictures on line that you could share with us?

Sorry to hear about your car, Christine! Hopefully it will be able to be fixed! I'm sorry that I can't help you with the tapes of the recent shows, but hopefully you'll be able to start taping again, soon! The show is getting pretty interesting, now, for the first time in awhile!

Hi Faith!

Hi Aprille! Yeah, that was hands down the best line on yesterday's show! I love the interaction and chemistry between Liza and Tad. It looks like the writers are finally getting smart(er) and will put the 2 of them back together, eventually. So much better than if they put Tad with Mia or Simone. I think that the "right" person for him to be with - especially being the first person since Ditsie - would be Liza. They are so great together. Maybe he'll go back and work for her at WRCW, since apparently he never found full time work again, after Adam fired him (yet he always seems to be wearing a suit - maybe he goes on interviews all day?).

I can't believe that they are writing Kenny off the show! Just when we're "getting to know him", they have to send him away to another country! I really think that he and Simone could have been cute together! Maybe they just want to leave Simone as the perennial "single girl" / comic relief. Her drunken scenes with Myrtle were adorable! Anyway, now that Kenny is leaving, who will bail Fusion out of trouble, all the time?

At least it looks like Mia will start acting like a normal person, again! Enough of her lashing out at everyone around her and being totally rude to people who don't deserve it. I just hope that they don't conveniently put her with Michael, now, since she is so vulnerable (ie: take her over to the "dark side", since she claims that she doesn't care about anything or anyone any more).

It's nice that Bianca and Lena are back together. But when Erica finds out, she will hit the roof!

Have a nice day!

I will look into getting some pics put somewhere from our trip.. I haven't even had time to download them off the camera yet...

What is up with Jake? I only got to see one episode last night, but Jake is back? Is it permanent? Or was this a one or two visit return only?

The funeral for Leora was beyond depressing.

 

[IASW Rider]

Hi Sarge!

See, you have to do what I do - bring a laptop to WDW with you.........then "empty" the pictures from your camera, onto the computer, every night! (I know, I'm very obsessive about pictures! )

Jake just blew into town for 2 episodes, to tell his family and Mia that he had mysteriously gotten engaged to a fellow doctor from his Doctors Without Borders program...........and then he disappeared as quickly as he showed up. I think that that totally and completely "sealed" the fact that Jake's character has officially been ruined beyond saving. He was a total pompous jerk to Mia - the Jake of years past, who was in love with Gillian or Greenlee never would have treated a woman like that! And Joe and Ruth just stood by and watched Jake humiliate Mia - not very realistic. At least Tad stood up for her and told Jake what a pig he was being.

Yes, the Leora storyline has been extremely depressing. I hope that they sort of move past it, soon. I get depressed every time David or Anna come on the screen, now. It was sad to see David on the beach (of the PA ocean), looking all lost yesterday, and having to see Maria and Ed-dumb and their happy kids, there.

 

[sgtdisney]

I wish I had a laptop.... I would have brought it with and 'DIS-ed' from Florida.... But alas, I have only a desktop and I don't think that would fit in an overhead bin.. LOL! I do have a memory card in the camera capable of holding like 200 pictures though.. Unfortunately the Digital camera is part of the video camera and I wish the pictures were more crisp..

I think what got to me was the scenes with David and the little girl Leora.. How sad... Oh well let's not go there How can your own twin sister not be at the funeral for her neice. Ok, I can buy how they cannot bring Dimitri back. Issues with Michael Nader, etc., however Alex is still on the show, so to speak. I mean the actress that plays Alex.... They could have had 'Alex' fly in from Hungary for the funeral and leave again when it was over. How simple would that have been. I guess that concept is beyond the writers though... It is too bad, it would have been even more touching if they had done it.

 

[IASW Rider]

Don't forget about Anna and Alex's long lost brother, Gabriel..........it seems that even THEY have forgotten about his existence!

 

[Poohbear123]

Sorry to hear about your car, that is my FAVORITE car, I hope its fixed soon. Sarge: You were in MIAMI? And we didn't meet? How sad......oh, well. I am also ready for the Leora death to pass.......also, WHO was the guy saying goodbye to Simone? This is the first time I saw him, and he was yummy. No Jackson/Mary/Erica/Greenlee scenes today.

Yes, I was!!! but only for 4 days. My wife has lots of family down there and it was constant visiting. We did make it to The Dolphin mall for about an hour or so to hit the Disney Outlet.. We really didn't have time to breath down there... Next time we will come for longer!

 

[Pembo]

Poohbear-That was Kenny. The lawyer that bailed Simone out of jail a few times. He is headed to Georgia, as in USSR-land. Poor Simone, no man again!

Sarge-Welcome Home!

IASW-Tell me again who was Gabriel? I can't remember him either.


One more comment-Anyone want to join my IHateLena club?! The accent, her character, her & Binks, it's all just icky.

ok 2 comments-Loved the intervention with Brooke, Jaime, Tad and Lori today. But if it's so hot, why were they all dressed like it was 50 out?

Gabriel was Anna and Alex's brother. Maybe it was half brother. He was very weird. Supposedly Anna and Alex's mother kept him locked in a cage for most of his life or something. It isn't any wonder you don't remember him. His acting was as bad if not worse than the last version of JR. He just disappeared one day from the show like so many others. Imagine all the missing persons reports that they must have on file in Pine Valley.

 

[ColoradoBuffaloMom]

Pembo,

I'll join your "I hate Lena" club. She just drives me nuts. For a woman who is supposed to be such as smart financial whiz, she sure is stupid in the "everyday life" department.

How many more chances can Binks give her?

[kylie&haley'smom]

love the show!!!! my fav is greenlee. lena has to go. i dont see every show,because i always forget to set the recorder.

 

[minniecarousel]

I'll join that IHateLena Club too! Can't stand her! Bianca needs to be with someone her own age!
Too bad Laurie is leaving - I actually liked her today! (Still too soft-spoken though!)
ugh! I can't stand Mary!

 

[Pembo]

I loved the intervention today! Dr. Dave was awesome and the scene between him and Lori was so sweet. Did you see when she hugged him he didn't know what to do? Poor guy.

I need to start a new club - The IHateCarlos club. Dont' like this guy either. I think he and Lena should mate and disappear!

Reggie and Biblegirl??! That kiss was lame.

Any word on Ryan's return date? I don't want to miss it.

 

[Poohbear123]

I don't think she is REALLY a Lesbian...I think its all a ruse to get Bink's Money! Oh, and David was so rude by not hugging Lori back. I guess he cannot show ANY emotions, now that he lost a child? PLEASE! David---GET OVER IT!!! So, Lori is leaving, I wish it was the Bible girl and the Boy-from-the-Hood, they can BOTH disappear as far as I am concerned!

 

[PamOKW]

Hi all. I was wondering if some of you have seen the commercials for visiting NJ. They jump around to different scenes saying things like, "It's not the beach it's the Shore". In some of them they show a girl dancing and she says "Rock the Pony" (Springsteen's debut site of the Stone Pony). Well, I may be nuts but it looks a lot like Bianca. I'm just curious whether anyone else thinks that it is her. It goes by so fast I can't be 100% sure.

 

[IASW Rider]

Hi Pam!

I know the commercial that you're talking about! I love that commercial! Hey - everybody out there - COME AND VISIT NEW JERSEY!!! OK - just had to put in my "plug" for my home state! Anyway, I will pay attention the next time I see it, to see if I recognize the woman that you're speaking about as Bianca!

I'm sorry - I can't join the "I Hate Lena Club" because I kind of like her! She's a lot more interesting than half the characters on the show! However........I will certainly join the "I Hate Carlos Club"! Did anyone else want to gag, yesterday, when he was rubbing the ice cube on Greenlee?! He put it to her lips, after it had been all over their sweaty bodies - ewwwww!!!! Something about him just bothers me. Maybe it's because I miss Leo so much and really don't want to see Greenlee with anyone else.

I also thought that the intervention scene, yesterday, was great. Too bad that Laurie is leaving, just as they are giving her some good scenes to do! I like the developing relationship between her and David. It would have been nice if she stayed in PV and he sort of "took her under his wing", paid for her college, etc., sort of in honor of Leora or something. That was a great scene!

As for everyone being dressed like it's 50 degrees out, that's because the weather (as well as the time) must be different, in different parts of PV. That also explains why Erica, Greenlee, and Kendall were wearing sleeveless dresses all winter long! In the Fusion part of town, there is a heatwave, now, but "on the other side of the tracks" where Laurie and her father live, it's obviously cool and fall-like!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - PLEASE - SOMEBODY TEACH JOANIE HOW TO ACT!!!!!!!

Pembo - Sarge gave a good description of Gabriel's character. Also, you might remember him as the guy who had a big crush on Rosa Santos, but was constantly tortured by her obnoxious boyfriend and his dumb friends.

Why can't Mary just tell Jack that Greenlee is his daughter, instead of beating around the bush?? I hope that they don't drag that out, too long! And will Greenlee uncover the fact that Mrs. Lacey was not the ONLY "older woman" with whom Carlos "had a thing", while she is investigating for her little blackmail scheme????

Have a nice day!

 

[kylie&haley'smom]

i love greenlee ands all,but i hate the bikini she had on. ugly!!! carlos gives me the creeps. i miss leo too iasw rider. yeh mary needs to tell jackson about greenlee being his dd. i'm just dying to know,what did tad find out about mary???? i hope that carlos gets mad at greenlee for black mailing mrs. lacey and he leaves pv and leaves the show.

 

[Luvinit]

Do you have room for another AMC fan??? Are there any rules?? Like you can't post any spoilers before a certain time? I would love to participate!!

Thanks..

PS sign me up for the I HATE CARLOS CLUB...as for Lena...I think the character has potential...so I am waiting too see what happens before I join that club!

 

[IASW Rider]

Welcome, Luvinit! And belated welcome, kylie&haley'smom!

Of course we have room for more AMC fans! The more the merrier! And there are no rules about spoilers or anything else! Come join our daily discussions about the trials and tribulations of our pals in Pine Valley!

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY FINALLY UPDATED THE OPENING CREDIT SEQUENCES!!!! Boydboydboyd, Reggie, Jamie, Carlos, and Michael appeared on yesterday's - maybe Lena, Joanie, and Henry will appear on Monday's!

Carlos gives me the creeps, too, kylie&haley'smom! I wasn't thrilled with Greenlee's bikini, either, but I liked the outfit that she was wearing at work, earlier (Mia's, too). I wonder if Tad somehow found out about Mary and Carlos??

I agree, Luvinit - too soon to make judgments about Lena........but Carlos has got to go!

Have a great weekend, Everyone!
