Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I love Babe! I think she's one of those "AMC only" type of characters. You know, Southern girl, white trash who lands a rich man. Frankly, I LOVE her. Sendin' some love to Alexa,girl, you ROCK, girl!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marilyn_M Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I think the hate for Josh would have done a total 180. I'm glad you enjoyed it but they didn't have to make Dixie's death about that flippin white trash b*tch. She is sickening and I hope throws her and her trashy ass mom out on their asses and go back to the trailor that they crawled out of. They are not needed on the show and important characters like Dixie are being scarificed for this trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Ohhhhh I have never been so mad at a show in all my life. I'm mad about Dixie but more mad about the end of the show. What a [!@#$%^&*] slap in the face that was - to let Dixie find out about Kate after she dies. Ohhhhhh man don't ever let me see MMT or Julie Carruthers on the street. Damn I am so mad.

Members Kylie Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 That's the thing. Okay, so they want to kill her, fine. I wanted to see her drive off that cliff again for over a year.LOL But like this? This even disgusts me. It's not so much that they did it, it's how, why and how fast they did it. She only ever got to hold Kate once, that's sick. After everything T&D went through, they deserved ONE scene with that child as her daughter. The T&D fans didn't deserve this.

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Someone, PLEASE tell me why Dixie finding out about Kat eafter dying was a lsap in the face. I honestly thought it was the most poignant, touching soap scene I've seen in my entire LIFE! Yes, I loved it that much. THis is no joke. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Members Kylie Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Because that was Tad and Dixie's one dream, to have a child together. And for that child to be a little girl. Their little girl. They already lost Bess. That was brutal. Their fans were tortured and tormented for 18 years, and got NOTHING out of it. Not one scene of T&D with their long awaited daugther. They got Dixie seeing her after she died. Not getting to tell Tad, or Kate's brothers (who when they were little boys wanted a little sister more then anything), etc. It's the same thing as Josh being alive. It's a slap in the face to everything that the fans of AMC watch for. History was disrespected yet again, for a cheap plot point stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Wow, I completely disagree, lol. I would have been REALLY bad had they NEVERlet her find out about Kate. But at least this was closure. And frankly, maybe I'm just a new viewer, but it was more than that. Because I had NO idea that girl would end up being Kate, so it was like a big reveal too! I mean, I knew it was either Emma, her or a new, unseen girl, but not for sure. So you get a revelation, closure and the warm feeling knowing that Dixie is watching her daughter from above, and hello, SHE sent the snowflakes? Didn't you all get that? That was just the coolest soap thing EVER! I'm seriously miffed at how this moved me so much and some people are acting like it's the end of the world. (No offense).

Members Jude Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Very well said, Kylie. Those are my thoughts exactly (and I've been a fan of AMC for over 20 years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 That might be because you're a little more detatched from the situation then the those of us who have years of AMC under our belts. If you saw T&D lose Bess, even me, someone who did a happy dance when Dixie "died" the first time....know how much Kate meant to them and their fans. T&D are a staple of AMC, a part of the show's long history. And this being done to them, as Josh was forced upon Erica, is just another sign of how the fans and what AMC used to mean to us, means nothing to ABCD anymore. Our show is being destroyed.

Members Marilyn_M Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 No offense but when a pivitol character gets killed to prop the trailor trash, I think they have more than a right to voice their opinion. This is a slap in the face to TnD fans. They have been waiting years for everything to come full cirlce and she gets killed. Its a total let down. ICAM! Well said.

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well, thanks for explaining the history. I think I get it now. I still enjoyed the show, and I keep trying to think about what if it were "Passions" and I'd LOVE for Sheridan to have a similar ending, or someone else on that show. But to each his own.

Members GaerielSky Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 LMFAO... yep, Kylie... no, that death wasn't well written. It was given the bum's rush. Even the actors looked shell shocked. They gave you FLASHBACKS... that's what you're loving. THE PAST. Not what they gave you today. Not the single scene where Dixie touches JR & Jamie's shoulders and they "feel" her... not where she has to traipse across town in her Victoria's Secret Angel garb to find Tad who is shell shocked in the park pulling a quarter out of Kate's ear. And for we T&D fans who have waited EIGHTEEN years for T&D to have a daughter... it was certainly NOT well written that what we get instead is a dead person seeing her daughter and knowing she will NEVER hold her and know that. Kate will never know her mommy and Dixie will only know Kate if she uses the big ole spy glass in the sky. Tad is an empty shell now and the show has a giant gaping hole in it gushing blood. Any momentary ratings rise from this event, will fade because the engine that drove it was just decommissioned. And only revving that up again will bring me back to this show. I want Dixie back! Anyway... [insert my usual pleading about wriging in here] visit us on http://www.TadNDixie.com for all the names and addresses of the guity parties.

Members Steve Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I also cried, especially at the ending. Josh needs to just shut the hell up. Jointstrikerfighter, you seriously believe a fetus that was aborted under 3 months could be implanted into another woman in 1973? If you're still in school, pay more attention in science, if not, try subscribing to Discover magazine and learn more about it. Then, you'll get part of the outrage at Erica's Unabortion. Even if you oppose abortion, for long-term fans, this was the biggest and most pointless rewrite of history AMC has ever had. As far as Dixie's death, the flashbacks just reminded me how much humor, love, and heart this show used to have that has been missing for the past few years. Cady, Michael Knight, and all us long-term fans deserved so much better than this. I believe it was Rugrat/Angela who said if Tad & Dixie's reunion were written correctly, they could have raised the ratings while searching for their daughter together. That seems so obvious yet TIIC just don't get it. This is the one storyline that kept me tuning in after the show fired Julia Barr. Now, there is nothing worth watching. SteveFrame, if you do see Julia Hanan Carrruthers or Megan McT on the street, feel free to spit in their faces for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted January 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Ahh yes, that was 2001. Thanks for the correction. Haha - it was cheesy, but I kinda liked how they incorporated Opal into that storyline. I think that was probably her last major 'storyline' or 'role' for AMC. She actually had a purpose there... Anyway I still think that if they HAD to kill Dixie like this, they should bring back Gillian, Jesse, Jeremy, and since Kate is already back for Janet, she could do Natalie...and we could get another couple of months of Heaven scenes with Dixie/Gillian watching over Tad/Kate. It's the LEAST they could do for this [!@#$%^&*]slap to my face. We could see Gillian looking over Ryan for awhile and a blessing to Ryan/Annie and see him happy with his children (then maybe I could get my Ryan-love back).
