AMC: Another vet OUT!


Recommended Posts

  • Members

If that is true, I think I'm going to be sick. And no one, NO ONE is hearing/seeing this? No one is willing to step in backhand MMT if they have too, to get that damn pen from her? Why is the woman allowed to continue to do this to our show? There's going to be nothing left of AMC come the New Year. And honestly, I'm not all that upset anymore. I myself am ready to grab a fictional gun, and put it out of it's misery. :( I can not believe this is the show I used to ache for. That I used to run home from school to watch. That I used to go crazy about during the weekend, Monday couldn't get here fast enough. Now, I just want someone to step in and say enough is a enough, and put us all out of our misery. She keeps this up, and there's going to be nothing left to save.

I didn't know David and Julia were such good friends. But I thought that he had already renewed his contract. I wonder if he really is that unhappy with the show. Maybe the question should be is anyone happy on AMC right now. I kind of doubt it. Especially after this news.

Am I the only one who thinks that Megan McTavish is probably just as upset with this as we are? I can't see her wanting this. My belief is it was way out her hands.

For whatever reason Julia told some fans at the AMC luncheon a a few years back that Megan wanted her gone (or so the word is) but if she did say that I think she was mistaken.

It'll be interesting (and very sad) to see what she says in her SOD interview.

I can't believe Megan wants this either. She always loved writing for the vets. Opal, Palmer, ect. Didn't she write Brooke and Tad? She loved incorperating them (vets) into stories. I think she always wrote for Brooke. I think this was Frons personally. I don't think he wants vets at ABC. Didn't he say "Who wants to see an over the hill actress in a love story" back a while ago in 02?

I think besdies Cady, Micheal, David and Susan no one else is safe.

I do think Megan wanted to write for Brooke. I think it was Frons interference personally. But JMO.

There is NO way in hell that I'm going to let MMT off the hook for this, NONE. Sure Frons is ultimately respoinsible, but I am not for one second going to believe that this woman doesn't wield any power. Josh anyone? He was her idea. She got permission from AN, supposedly. It was all her. If she can make a decision like that, if she can decide one day that she wants to over turn the first legal abortion in Television history, without so much as a peep from Frons, she could write for a vet. Period. She is not some innocent victim in all of this. She's not Frons' tool. She wields as much responsibitly for the state of AMC, if not more, then Frons does, IMO.

Really? That's the first I've heard of that.

She can't be one of the reasons Krystal got Brooke's story, because she wrote the story for Brooke! Unless she was having arguments with herself, ala Jonathan/Braden.

Brooke was almost always frontburner under McTavish the last 2 times with the exception of the second half of her 98 stint because the Dimitri/Brooke pairing didn't go over as well as she'd hoped.

I too attribute this more to Brian Frons than Megan McTavish (I don't doubt she had a say in it). The fact remains that women of a certain age, shape, and/or demeanor have been targeted since Frons took over as President of ABC Daytime. Ask. Genie Francis...... Marcy Walker...... Finola Hughes........ Hilary B. Smith....... Kristina Wagner ......... Catherine Hickland

From what I heard Bobbie wanted out of her jail cell and Bruno pushed for it and it happened. That's when Krystal was "given Brookes story". I don't know the specifics but I guess since Bobbie wanted to work with David Megan rerouted storyline to give a Krystal/Adam pairing.

But I just don't believe Megan would do that without giving Brooke something as well. The whole thing seems to be perception and rumor. But JMO.

Anyone remember when Frons first came on there was list circulating of actors he planned to axe? Everyone kind of laughed at it like "haha yeah like he's going to get away with letting all those people go".

Well it happened right according to plan.

This is completely asinine.

Never thought I would leave my first soap. The one I was so proud to know so much about. Yet, as things keep getting worse, I just had to break free.

Good for you Julia Barr on telling those idiots she would not take that.

I do not know what could keep me there anymore.

Here's hoping AMC falls below Passions in the ratings. They deserve it. :angry:

Aggie is out too! Ok, I am bawling, I am grown man and I am crying. Why? Why has this happened? I moved around the world when I was younger, and AMC was always there when I came back to the states for summer vacation, or when we abruptly moved back.. it was a constant as grandma's apple pie. Loosing AMC like this, the faces, the heart of the show is like loosing a part of my soul. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do at all.

    • I've said this before, but I strongly suspect Carlivati would've just... brought Duke back again if he'd stayed at the show long enough. They really fúcked up Duke's return leaving him moribund and pathetic after her eturned, whereas Ian Buchanan IRL is anything but. I have no real interest in another return for him but honestly Zombie Duke Round 2, with a little life in him again, could not be worse than most of Anna's dreadful pairings since, and given Tristan and Robert are clearly not an option. But I do think she should have a new, better man.
    • Am I wrong or was Gail (and putting her with Lee) a Marland addition?
    • Brooke Logan agrees with this statement.

    • I loathed Duke and especially loathed Anna being with Duke.   I hated that the tango was one of their things.    I don't care about Chase one way or another.   I would have enjoyed finally Finola dancing as Anna without Duke.  But it wasn't that important to me.
    • Doug looked delicious in Thursday's episode. The episode wasn't as great as Wednesday's. I was a bit disappointed. It was nice seeing Paul again but I'm not thrilled at the way their writing John's exist.

    • Thanks again @Paul Raven .  With Denny we now get the arrival of Toni Bua. If the show had been renewed, I wonder if she would have stayed on. Given the influx of new female characters in her age range, I don't know.
    • Happy 40th anniversary, Bo and Hope!

        And it was so great to see them again, and for the two of them to finally have scenes with both Shawn and Ciara, as a family. I especially enjoyed the first scene with Hope at Bo’s bedside and the flashback to their wedding. It was really sweet. Victoria Konefal did a really good job too. It really is a shame that things didn’t work out with her… and that her character was so disregarded by the previous writing team. And yeah, they really didn’t need to have Ciara mention her serial killer though. It was not necessary. I mean, Ron’s gone lol we don’t need to do this anymore. And I don’t know where she was going with those leather pants either. As for John, like I said yesterday, I just don’t know. I’m glad that he’s a part of trying to save Bo’s life, but to have him go out like this… As much as I disliked the whole Orpheus thing, maybe they should’ve continued on with that for John’s exit story. Like I said before, and have John sacrifice his own life to kill Orpheus once and for all. Because the fact that Orpheus is still gonna be alive while John isn’t kinda pisses me off. I can’t help but wonder if this was always planned or if Paula/Jeanne changed the story. But I think this whole thing is gonna be very divisive. Soap Twitter/social media will probably be explosive today. 
    • It was interesting to peruse Twitter and seeing some fans who were very upset Anna didn't get to do a tango with Chase, while others were glad because they felt that was her special dance with Duke. A good reminder of how long-lasting soap fanbases can be, even as the show has tried to move Anna on. How any Duke/Anna fan did manage to stick with the show I don't know, but points for will power, I suppose.
    • It's probably a good thing most of us don't post here often now as the shameful conduct of the "legacy media" enabling the attention seeking and grudge holding of Tapper and Alex Thompson would probably have broken the servers. I avoid CNN as often as I can, so I had no idea that every anchor on CNN, probably even an AI Larry King, was plugging the book 24/7. The wagons truly are circling, as even some journalists who love to pretend they aren't like the rest, like Dave Weigel, have joined in. I am at the point where I have no use for any major reporters or media figures. I find it especially disgusting when I see reporters who talk about losing loved ones supporting this book after the reports you posted.
