I don't think McTavish is a strong enough writer to pull this off either. If someone else would be writing the show, then maybe I would be more interested in the storyline. And it is a shame the show is resorting to a shocking stunt to boost ratings instead of getting to the root of the problem, the bad, bad, bad writing. That is one of the reasons AMC is tanking so badly right now.

OMG, how desperate is AMC? Saying that, id love to see a storyline like this if the show had GOOD WRITING. The FACT that it DOES NOT makes me feel like this is a terrible idea. Its a highly sensitive subject and when AMC [!@#$%^&*] it up i really think it could be the END.

I agree, DruRocks. I've already programmed my VCR. AMC, beginning Thursday, is just GOING to be Must See TV. If this were "American Idol," Simon would say the singer picked the perfect song choice for their voice, and that's the case with this story. It is PERFECT for AMC. It would ONLY work for AMC. Possibly OLTL but AMC, out of all the current soaps, is the only one that it perfectly goes with. I'm so excited just thinking about it! Zarf is such a cool name, the character looks so campy and over-the-top...I can't wait!!

Sorry, if anything, this story will save the show. like DruRocks said, it will totally rejuvenate the show. This is just the shot in the arm AMC needs. oooooooohhh, can't wait!!! :wub:

A couple of good things that I notice, though. There were no quotes from McTavish so I wonder if she is even has a hand in this story. And Carruthers gave the indication that AMC will tank the story if the fan reaction is bad.

ETA: Also Bianca getting away from Josh and not just being around to kiss the Walking fetus' ass make this story appealing as well.

I hope you don't really believe that -- that they'll change direction of the story based on fan reaction. I'm no expert on AMC but I notice that several have spoken out about the abortion undoing (which I support, by the way), but the show has not touched that story. Remember the much ado over the 'filmed look?' Well, of course you do, because the filmed look is still there, despite much criticism. (I like that too by the way). So this shouldn't be any different. They'll probably go full steam ahead no matter what. But I think you can't lose with a story like this...can't wait!

It's one thing to introduce a transgendered character. It's quite another to pair a post-op female with a lesbian. What's the problem with just giving Bianca a regular old female love interest? I find it more than a little insulting and exploitative. I would applaud a tg character in the right place, for the right reasons, in a story all their own. But this just seems like an excuse to have Bianca paired with a male actor, and titillate and shock a largely conservative audience.

I was dreading the Zarf/Bianca story but after reading the article and finding out more about it I am actually looking forward to it. This with the serial killer might get me to keep watching and give the FFWD button on my Tivo a much needed rest.

      Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.

      Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together. Nicole needs a new husband!

      She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

      Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.

      Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!

      This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.

      YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.

      I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.
