~ All My Children Fans ~ What's new in Pine Valley? *Rebecca returning as Greenlee* Part 3

[DopeyRN]

I have not watched the show since sometime last week..probably Friday because they had Dixie just starting to gasp from the pancakes. Sounds like the only thing I missed was Tad giving a great performance and Opal speaking a line. I actually have not cared that I missed the show. I am starting to wonder if the rumors that the show might be ending could be true. They are getting it to the point that who would care anyway? Having watched this show for over 30 years it does make me sad. But we can remember the "good old days".

 

[goofie4goofy]

So Babe is dead...but not really dead? So the idea of either Kendall or Babe going permanently is not up for debate anymore... Darn! Ultimately this means they will both be sticking around.

I was watching the show tonight thinking how is it that these women..Babe and her mother think it's just fine to "comfort" these men in their lives in a ...shall we say..very comfortable way?....What the heck is with that word? There is nothing between Tad and Krystal..she was just trying to "comfort" him! Same thing with Babe and Josh..she feels so badly for Josh...she "comforts" him..but she loves J.R. Is this what they are calling this now? Also with all the comforting the two of them do..you'd think there would be a box of condoms in one of their purses. It does seem they do this pretty regularly.
Babe needs to find comfort where the rest of us women do...In a pint of Hagen Daz...or a good sized box of Godvia Chocolates!

Or better yet, why don't these men get a massage with a "happy ending" for comfort??

So I guess it's true...."Babe" needs time off the show to do a movie, but she will be back - the writers had to accommodate her in the form of a storyline that makes her not quite dead. So the story will be that Josh drugs her and makes her appear to be dead to protect her from the Satin Slayer??? Is that correct??

I feel much the same way as you do. Never thought I'd say it or think it. It isn't the AMC it used to be. Get's dumber all the time. Sad when you know the history of the show and see the characters that have built it just be kicked to the curb and replaced with the likes of "Colby" There have been days when I swear I watched an hour long Clerasil commerical. I don't need to see Tad grieve AGAIN for Dixie...please. I love Tad..but we've seen this. I mean the very idea that this "killer" is picking off women..and no one seems to do anything about it ..well that's lame to begin with. Throw in Barf..and then the kids...and the whining skinny armed Kendall...spending weeks repeating herself...and you can change the channel and not miss anything. I do resent that the only time they seem to move things along is if there is a "sweeps" period. Other than that...B-O-R-I-N-G...and to bizare to even contemplate.

I wouldn't be surprised with the cancellation either. PASSIONS on NBC got the boot, it ends this summer some time.

I think you are right..looks to me like the writing is on the wall.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

How about if the satin slayer does get Annie and then Greenlee comes back and they live happily ever after with little Emma that has no ties to Kendall haha!

 

[auntie]

Okay..here we go again...Babe giving Josh a kiss! Immediately after she tells him there is nothing between them and she wants to make a go of things with her husband..she kisses the guy AGAIN! HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO SEE THIS?.....OVER AND OVER..the same thing. She is just "comforting" him I'm sure. Then we will have the same "angry" JR screaming about what a unfaithful ...you know what his wife is.. boo hoo. I am so sick of this story.

 

[Poohbear123]

Show, now on SOAPNET, and I don't understand this "party" they are having to trap the killer. So, like with ALL the Security, the Killer is suppose to Kill Someone? What a bunch of Crap!

 

[auntie]

You don't understand it ...because IT MAKES NO SENSE! Who in the world has a "party" the day your mother dies!....oh excuse me..the day after. Dixie isn't cold in the ground..and they are having a party to "honor the women of Fusion"...yeah..that's normal..who wouldn't do that? Who the heck is writing this crapola?.... Kendal is used as bait to lure the killer. Oh my Lord..this is just to stupid to even watch...really.

 

[zippeedee]

I'm trying so hard to hang on and make some sense of this mess, a 30 year habit is hard to break!
Can someone tell me where Zach was the other day when he was trying to remember his mother's death? It looked like a basement somewhere, then I thought it was her grave/crypt. Didn't they just move into that house? Wasn't his mother in England? Did he move her crypt? Are we supposed to forget about a month ago when they made the big deal about buying the house and think it's some old family pile like Weirdwind?? And when did Kendall suddenly start resembling his mother??

I'm so confused!!!

Worst part of that is it doesn't really bother me..it doesn't make any sense...and it's boring...so I don't care either.

 

[goofie4goofy]

I don't know if "confusing" is the correct word to describe the direction of the show lately. It's just very bad writing that goes nowhere...it is the "LOST" of daytime TV. They just write anything and expect it to make sense. Every show has a different direction and there is no flow from episode to episode....Pine Valley is a "strange place".....maybe it's the next island over from the LOST crew a wierd vortex where the stupid and unexplainable reside. If you ever visit there, don't drink the water

 

[KristinBelle]

I'd like the killer to take out Erica, Babe and Kendell. Then bring back Greenlee to run Fusion with Bianca and they can have a nice love triangle with her and Ryan.

 

[auntie]

Probably in the minority..but I was sick of Greenlee. Also pairing her with Ryan..and before that Leo. She is so incredibly short and they are so tall, It was painful to watch their scenes together..with the men literally bending half way over to be in the same shot.

I also just wasn't all that interested in the entire concept of the "women of Fusion" to begin with. So killing them off...then they "party"...makes you wonder who are the writers. How many celebrations have they gone to while a killer is on the loose and their friends are in funeral homes? While we all know it's a soap..and they're not going to imitate reality..and who would want that anyway..if we wanted reality we wouldn't be watching soaps to begin with. The problem is the stories actually insult your inteligence..it's not that they are "out there"..but exciting enough to hold your interests. They are just bizare, some to the point of "ewww..gross"(Josh..aka Fetus Martin..and then Zarf/Zoe.(please, rock star lands in and loves the women of PV?...he just couldn't be a regular old PV resident)..and then the stories are dragged out...endlessly changing direction to the point of boredom.

Erica can barely stifle hope at the thought of Bianca’s head turning for what appears to be a tall strapping young man.
Before going out the door, Maggie levels Bianca with the observation that Zoe’s presence blocked out any chance for a reconciliation.
Bianca fumes at Maggie for such an outlandish assertion.
Kendall proposes to Zach that they procreate.
Zach and Ryan run up against a brick wall when talking Kendall into giving Spike back.
Zach, Ryan and Tad go about rendez-vousing with the Satin Slayer.
Janet should know about psycho serial killers, being one herself. Fully medicated, calm and helpful, she dispenses a theorized profile on the Satin Slayer for Jamie and Amanda.
Janet’s latest theory involves Ethan’s mom as the Satin Slayer, with the motive of rancor against Zach.
The Satin Slayer reaches out to silence Kendall.
Annie discloses to Ryan her intention to let Emma in on this newfound family she will have with him as her real dad.
Both Annie and Kendall are fed up with middling Erica, intent on thwarting Annie from Ryan.
Erica does a double-take at Barbara Montgomery, there to see Jack.
Next week: With Babe down, the Satin Slayer aims for the last, remaining Fusion girl—Kendall… Krystal double-dares JR to blow the lid off her secret… Ryan and Annie stop pussyfooting around about their interest in each other… Tad and Zach stop bickering long enough to work together for the better

Zoe offers to back JR into a corner, in a most unorthodox manner.
Zoe makes out with JR long enough for Babe to snap a few incriminating pictures with her cell phone. Hit send to her counsel.

I hope this isn't what it sounds like..because for all its hype of AMC being on the cutting edge. with this Zarf/Zoe storyline..this is GROSS! I'm not interested in this kind of crapola.
