I understand the Ryan/Annie stuff, it was a way to balance out the drama.

And then Zoe/Zarf has to say, "Whatever you do, make sure Babe doesn't get hurt." Or something along those lines. That is horrible propping.

I think AMC did a good job with the death stuff, but it should have been more. Why rush this? Unless she's coming back... ;) (Think DAYS, Jack Deveraux and the "wink." It could happen!)

I just watched it on tape - just most of the Dixie and family parts thanks to my trusty FF-wd button.

I'm still crying and even feeling a little nausea from the crying, so good thing I'm home - damn imagine they really milked this well, I'd be a total mess. I did not expect to get so emotional because I didn't get reinvested this time around thanks to the writing/stories for Dixie, but I guess I underestimated the Tad/Dixie, Dixie love back in the storage room of my heart, heh. The flashbacks were just awesome. Sigh.

I'm going to think AMC PTB's and Cady are big, huge jacka**es if they faked this all by some chance, cause I think it's disrespectful to mess with fans like that - but I have to admit it got me past the crap of 2006 (w/Dixie) faster than I would have gotten over it otherwise.

ETA:

I did see Josh saying that could have been Babe...you little unaborted bitch, it should have been Babe. And I'm glad I missed Zoe adding his hail Babe's.

The Dixie stuff got to me today. The last time I cried while watching a soap was when Cassie died on Y&R, but today I cried again. JR broke my heart. :( When Di broke down talkign to Aidan got to me too. I loved the flashbacks. This just sucks so much ass that AMC killed off Dixie. And for her to realize Kathy was in fact Kate after she died was just awful, but I did love that Kathy could see Dieix adn she waved to her and Dixie blew a kiss to her.

If Josh says Babe name one more god damn time, I'm gonna want to kill him and that whore myself. He needs to move the hell on. I mean, how many different [!@#$%^&*] ways can he prop her ass up. And Zoe ain't no better.

I stopped watching regularly too.

I've hated Dixie for the past year, but she started becoming likeable again. And then they kill her off! :angry:

I thought AMC was rebounding back but it's the same retread of last year.

It's time to change the channel for good.

As for Josh, I wish he'd choke on his tongue the next time he utters Babe's name. It's almost a curse word at this point.

I am covered in snot. And I just took AMC off my season pass. DAYS is going on instead. Just to support James Scott... another AMC person who unfairly got the shaft. I am not watching a show that so cruelly takes away a storyline I've been wating 18 years for and then rubs my nose in what should have been with the flashbacks and with Kathy waving to Dixie.

Julia will never be a mother to Kate. She better get her mits off the kid when they realize who she is. Grrrrr.

Father Clarence sucks donkey balls. Lying SOB telling Dixie for Christmas that her and Tad's journey "Is far from over." Really dipshit? A non-eventful 3 weeks later she's dead. My loathing knows no bounds.

I haven't even watched it yet and I'm already upset :( Yesterday was bad enough. As one who has watched and loved these two since the first day they were onscreen together, I can't even describe my anger and frustration at what we are being forced to watch right now. One of the most beloved couples in AMC history (if not daytime) being shot to hell because of reasons that don't make (and will never) sense to me. If it weren't for Jack and Erica, I'd be gone too. When/If that is destroyed than I also will leave this show that I have been loyal to for the last 37 years. And once I go I will not be back. I won't read boards, and I won't be posting anymore either.

TIIC have made a mockery out of what was once an enjoyable escape from everyday life. Now I'd rather deal with that real life than be angry and upset over something that people don't seem to care about anymore. Its just not worth it.

    • 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.
