I think Armus's intention is to turn Dixie back into her former self by having Tad discover that she's been brainwashed--which would explain why she's not herself.

Several people who have read Armus's bible told me that it was very good and very old fashioned with a lot of focus on Pine Valley's history. Armus wanted the characters to be more of themselves. [s.W.S.N.B.N.] had outlined that Brooke English start a women's magazine and Armus used this to create a new Erica/Brooke war that was to affect everybody in PV. I did not read the bible myself, so you're getting 3rd hand reporting here.

I've seen theories like this, that Dixie might have been suffering from a prolonged head trauma caused by the accident, which is why she's acted so cold since she returned. It would have been the better way to go that's for sure.

Burton Armus sounds amazing, and him calling Frons an idiot, I'd have loved to have been a fly on that wall just to see Frons' expression :lol:

I'm scared to say, man.

I was told by Armus himself that he was coming to AMC and he seemed really peeved about the show's current condition. It's like he takes it personal.

Then again, Brian Frons is KING OF THE HILL and he's not about to lose control of AMC to somebody who secretly thinks he's "stupid".

Armus is a pretty intimidating looking guy and it's clear that he won those writing Emmys from smarts. He also specializes in "murder mystery" and "secrets", he loves controversial social issues with elements of homosexuality, drugs, money. Each EMMY he won was for a "social issue" type of show. He loves social issues.

He wanted Erica and Brooke to the be "center" of his show.

Thanks for the information EricaKane4life. I like most of the bible except for this part:

Ugh no way do I want Binks relentlessly pursuing some woman old enough to be her mom who stole her baby from her in the first place with that stupid test switch. I thought Lena was too old for her even and Olga is my age :D For once I would like to see Bianca being chased except by Zarf :rolleyes: The woman is young, rich and gorgeous. She should have women falling over her.

The rest sounds great especially undoing the unabortion. I think that really started the show on the downward path although I pretty much stopped watching consistantly during spermgate.

And this sums up what is wrong with ABCD:

But raping and threatening women and burying people alive is'nt?

The man is killing the last ABC soap I can still occassionally stand to watch. I just hate him. And I blame the suits above him as well. Oh how I wish I could get into DAYS. But NBC just has never been my network. I never thought I would see the day I envied DAYS fans but man is it ever here.

I don't care for bisexual Krystal. Maybe if they brought back Laura (played by a better actress than the last one) and revisited the Bianca/Laura story. It would make sense and make for great drama especially if Brooke and Erica and at the center of the Armus AMC. Also don't care for bisexual Ryan. The Nina/Palmer/Opal/Myrtle story sounds like a dream. Sigh, if only it were more than a dream.

Well, with Brooke leaving the show then I would think that Burton is not going to be joining AMC. It sounds like the focus was going to be on the rivalry between Brooke/Erica and that would have been really entertaining. I think that he would have pushed TIIC to renew her contract instead of offering her recurring. I wonder what kind of storylines Kendall would have. I guess we will never know now and that is a real shame.

Okay.

Bianca started pursuing Krystal relentlessly.

I personally got my own perception and kind of saw Bianca as stalking Krystal by pursuing her relentlessly. I just found that to be odd. But JMO.

I guess i'm just not feeling the dead bi-ryan story, the cult Dixie story or the Bianca/Krystal love story.

I do love the Nina and Palmer stories however and I even mildly intrigued by Myrtle and Opal's stories. . Those would be hits. The rest I felt are misses. But then again I haven't seen or read them. So just taking it all at face value.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
