Well, in the asshat's defense, I think he was trying to get Kendall and Spike away from Zach. I don't think he realizes now that Erin and Simone were much less connected to Zach than Kendall is. I'm with you, as long as the killer knows that Zach and Kendall are married, Kendall is huge target.

If anything, Erica and Jack should take Spike for the time being, I think. I would say Bianca, but she's part of the Fusion group, so she's a target too.

That still doesn't make sense, cause Kendall is the target NOT Zach. He says Spike isn't safe around Kendall and Zach, so Kendall being around Spike anywhere still doesn't make him anymore safe.

Plus it makes sense that the SK would know that if Spike isn't with Kendall & Zach he's with his father, and if the SK wanted to get to Spike badly enough he could. Look how easily this person got into Dani's house today

AMS, glad you cleared the air and we now can together disucss the show openly again. Spike going to live with Jack snd Erica could have been an amazing plot point. It could work towards getting them back together, bonding over their grandson. Well Jack's step grandson.

I don't really know what happened on this thread and I don't really understand what was so wrong with my post? I was actually taking AMS thoughts in a serious manner and I did give it thought and that is why I did give examples and my opinions on other characters like Amanda and KWAK and Dixie. I don't understand what was really wrong with what I did? I wasn't trying to stir anything up and I wanted to ask AMS in a fully serious manner just like I told him about the Babe is Love scene to try to find a transcript of Myrtle's actual first meeting with Zach which actually did not go very well for Zach but now I'm not sure how everyone will take it. It's not meant in a you're wrong, I'm right way. I said I disagreed about that point not that anyone is wrong or right. I hadn't realized that this became so nasty and one of the reasons I posted at SON was because that is so rare on this board.

I myself wrote in an earlier post that Zach was an ass on Friday with the Kendall/Ryan/Spike situation and I love his character for the most part. I'm not going attack other for their negative feelings for him. I just tried to explain why I personally did not feel that Myrtle was a prop for Zach. That's all I was trying to get across. The only other point that may have offended was that I didn't like being told that I hate Ryan because it's easy and I'm sorry if that was harsh. That's just not how I watch AMC to hate people because it's easy. Believe me if I could like Ryan, I would. Once upon a time way back when he was with Gillian I did like him.

I am so over Jeff and Erica. They were fun for a while but I am back to wanting Jack and Erica again more than ever after seeing how bad it is with them fighting and apart. Plus linking Walt to Susan only can help keeping him on the show. If the show is in fact considering terminating Walt you'd have to hope that Susan would be upset by this and hopefully would fight for Walt.

The "Zyrtle" scenes are just ridiculous. I am glad some people agree. It seems the world is caught by Zendall mania and we are just supposed to except everything they do.

Anyway, why can't Zach get friends his own age? And why does Myrt always have to pump up Zach and push him on Kendall? Not giving a free pass to Kendall either - she bugs the crap out of me.

I'm certainly not caught up in Zendall mania. I like them well enough, but I like most of the characters on the show. It's possible to like Zyrtle and not be a huge Zack fan (just sayin'). I like them because I think they are charming together. I like that Myrtle has someone who is sweet and kind to her. I don't see anything wrong with Zack having a friend in the older generation. Who better to give him advice and help him see reason than someone older whom he respects?

I don`t think there is anything wrong with it in theory , I just wish she would drop less references to his loyalty , heart & honour during a simple chat over scones! :rolleyes: It is quite hypocritical of me really , considering I loved Myrtle`s defence ( & propping!) of Kendall in the beginning when she was at odds with Erica & Bianca .

I agree - this is why I love Zyrtle. She has no children around, he has no mother/grandmother around...so they each sort of fill that void for each other. She gives him great advice, he takes care of her - is charming and respectful. It's just a nice little relationship they have.

That's why I love Zyrtle, they balance each other out, he sees her as a mother type, and he's like a son to her. IT'S NOT PROPPING. Propping is what Erica does with Ryan, where in her world he can do NO wrong. No matter how badly Ryan treats Kendall. Erica is still his #1 cheerleader. Ryan hurts Kendall, Erica loves him, Babe hurts Bianca, she hates Babe. We know who Erica's favorite is <_< Myrtle calls Zach on his ish if he needs it.

I saw this great article ranting about Ryan and talking about propping, LOVE THIS:

SO MUCH WORD!

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
