AMC: Monday

[AMCHistory]

OMG! That's embodies it all. As bad as the decision is to let Cady go, you have to admit today was one exciting show!

It was so good to see Jill again. Even though she had one line, her quivering lip and quiet, demure act (so un-Opal) in frantic search of Palmer, reminds me why she was Emmy Nominated and another bad decision on the part of the current regime in terms of casting decisions.

The scene that broke my heart the most was when the camera panned through all of Dix's loved ones: Jamie, Opal, Di, Del and finally JR.... JR better honor his mother's last words and tell Tad that Krystal's baby is his.

[alwaysAMC]

That is exactly how I feel. Of the 17 years watching, this single decision has hurt me the most. The first time Dixie 'died' was so different - all the circumstances surrounding her first 'death' were completely different than right now.

The TPTB don't care what long-time fans want or how they are treated. It's sad, pathetic, and makes me not even want to watch their show anymore.

Right now, I'll still be watching, but I'll be doing it out of habit - not because I really want to...this is like my divorce from AMC, but we'll still be in each other's lives bc we have children together or something...lol - I know it's lame, but I have no idea how to explain it other than that.

[alwaysAMC]

I agree with you - I mean it was nice we saw Opal and the acting and writing was great.

But they could have done all this and still had Dixie survive. But they have to kill her off and I can't handle that. I mean Dixie could survive this and we'd still have the great drama, writing, and acting. This could have brought Tad and Dixie together forever for real - and then have them find Kate and all is well with the world!

But no, they had to officially kill her off. WTF?

[Adam]

I really really want Cady to get a job on DAYS or Y&R and win another emmy!

SCREW YOU JULIE HANAN CRUTTHERS, BRIAN FRONS, MEGAN MCTAVISH AND WHOEVER ELSE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!

You have pissed off your most loyal fans to the point where even they want to turn off the t.v!

[Robert Barr]

I haven't been a fan in about a year. I've just been watching AMC out of habit. I still like Zack and Kendall, but now that Dixie has died there really anything interesting left of the show. Who's the Satin Slayer? At this point WHO CARES? I don't and I can't wait until this story is over.

[Adam]

I now officially hate Babe and wish death upon the character. It was her that was supposed to eat those disgusting pancakes, not Dixie. Dixie's death is propping Babe. And that is what pisses me off the most and paints TPTB's agenda as clear as glass.

Babe=Everything Good Dixie= Old and tired

[Angela]

Together Forever. *sniffles*

At the least, why couldn't the last few weeks of January have been more T/D getting closer heavy (I mean more than two episodes, and one of those episodes being 25% T/D, 75% Babe/Dixie)? A good few JR/Dixie moment, Adam/Dixie moments, etc... included? Why not? Ugh.

Why couldn't they have kept Dixie alive and have a long goodbyes to her family with flashbacks and last words (not about Carey's). Dixie almost dying in 2002 was given more respect. Tomorrow's show should be dedicated to goodbye's and memories - with Dixie alive...and her last word tomorrow should have been "Together Forever" with Tad on the hospital bed holding her. Sigh, I'm tearing up now, but it's more so from me making up the ending (and remembering the past) rather than what the show is actually doing (or has done). I hadn't gotten reinvested in T/D, Dixie this time around (because frankly the show didn't give much to get reinvested in), but I have my memories and it's a lot...the first couple that got me really invested in any soap when I was just a kid and that got me running for my first VCR after I saved a lot of allowances up. Sigh.

I'm not giving up on AMC, I grew up with the show and I want it to be around with some semblence of it's history 5 or 10 years from now...but the way they did this one from start to finish was unbelievably f'ed up - disrespectful to the fans, to what T/D have meant to this show and what they mean to this show. I don't get why it had to go down like this. It's not just the firing, it's that they could have ended it on a higher note even if they were determined they had to end this with death.

[Kylie]

OMG you sound, devasted. OMG, do I know that feeling. I don't even want to know what her last scenes were like. Nope. This is so sick. And so sad. Why would they do this? OMG, T&D fans, if anyone knows your pain it's me. Today is the day that AMC killed itself.

[rsmith2k2]

What's left to root for or hope for on this show? This Dixie thing is hitting me harder than I imagined and I knew it would hurt and suck and be, as said above, just proof positive, clear as glass, as to TPTB's agenda.

Between this and the good times McT's having screwing around with Bianca's sexuality (or at least people's perceptions of it) for that screen time sucker and Babe propper, Zarf....and all the other problems people have listed thousands of time. I'm finding little to hold on to.

When is Zarf's inner "woman" getting in a dress again, anyway?

There can only be so much misery fans can stand and that's all McTrashit knows how to dole out.

And for WHAT? What's the big gainer we get from Dixie's death? A more morose PV? More misery already been done...thank you very much? Nothing new. Nothing gained. I don't care who they pair with whom for whatever reasons JHC and McTravesty assign to drama from Dixie's death. It won't be worth the serious structural damage to AMC historical, LEGACY characters.

Losses all around...except for Babe and KWAK, that goes without saying, yes? And in the most callous, nonsensical, slapdash, afterthought, BS death in Pv EVER (maybe ever in soaps outside of DOOL).

Bianca fans are no longer the most put upon in AMCWorld...Tad and Dixie fans win, unfortunately we all lose.

I HATE IT!

eta:

Sing it! It's a hard B.I.T.C.H!slap to the fans of Tad and Dixie, to the fans of AMC on every POSSIBLE level...top to bottom, stem to stern. There are SO many ways they could have made it better, easier to take, more respectful, to fill Dixie's remaining time with the way the fans yearned to see her...with Tad, with JR, with Kate, to give them some more of the recent promise thrown out like bait only to disguise a big Peanut Butter Banana Pancake Death Trap. GAH!

[Darcy]

I think the thing that is most infuriating (and there is a lot to be angry about) is that if you know Tad and Dixie's history, Dixie has always wanted to have Tad's little girl. I have scenes going back to 1989 and then throughout the 1990's and 2000's where Dixie and Tad talk about this. What soap supercouple, that has been married on and off for 18 years (and been in love all that time), doesn't get a child together, except for one scene together where they don't even know the girl is theirs? What kind of soap opera gives hope of a story for 18 years and then teases it mercilessly (and with complete crap) for an entire year and then senselessly murders half of the show's most popular supercouple over the last two decades, just as the story that many had wanted to see is finally starting?

The answer for me is one that I will not be waching anymore after this week. If Dixie, Tad and Kate had been reunited happily for five minutes (that is all you get on this show) my answer may have been different (not sure). I feel like AMC treats both its actors and its fans with no respect. I can't watch this depressing, poorly written junk anymore and I thought there would be NOTHING that would ever stop me from wanting to see my show.

[Josh]

Clips anyone??? Please....

Also...we are on the day behind in OKC market, so I saw some of Friday's episode this morning before school and I will never look at peanut butter the same way again...I'm just saying...way to ruin two great things Megan...DIXIE and PEANUT BUTTER!!!

[Ms Deeve]

What can I say? :( :(

[Kylie]

AMC kills Dixie, and itself a day short of a year, of the fetus reveal (One year ago, tomorrow). That has to be a record. A showing killing itself that fast.

I haven't read these posts, and I won't. I refuse. AMC has done it this time.

[dragonflies]

You know Babe in a round about way really did kill Dixie. She refused to eat those pancakes for the stupidest reason ever invented.

She's the one who turned down Zach's offer to have food delivered, so yep Babe is to blame IMO.

[Greg]

Ding dong the witch is dead...the witch is dead...

I have waited like 18 years for this day.

I didn't think this day would ever come.

So long Dixie!

Hope you enjoy pushing up those daisies!

My only problem with this plot (besides the long wait) is that she didn't die from poisioned

chicken fingers.

Oh well, At least it's finally over.

Sorry to the ones who liked that Pigeon Hollow dud...It's sad when we lose our favorites...but I just can't stop smiling.

What a great way to start off the week.

Bye Bye Dix!

Say hi to Will in hell for me...lol

And good luck to Cady.

I'm sure she will land another show soon.
