AMC: Friday

Ok, JSF, you have GOT to get over your "Wildwind" rant.

Wildwind is like 90's classic AMC. Wildwind is an estate - a mansion. Its a 90's AMC icon.

You can't hate on the name...and as a newer fan, you can't appreciate the name or it's place in AMC history.

So GET OVER THAT :)

I can try to appreciate the mansion's place in the show's history, but I do wish they wouldn't say the name of the house in almost every breath. (It seems that way, anyhow). Why can't they, like normal people, say "Meet you back at the house?" or, "Annie and Emma are going to move in with us!" I just take a moral opposition to flaunting "Wildwind" as if they're pompous about it. "Ooh, we live in a huge mansion with a name, Wildwind, and YOU DON'T!!! HAHAHAH HAHHAHAH HAHHAHH." I know they're NOT saying it like that, but in the back of my mind, that's what I hear.

I can't help it. :unsure:

who is Susie and when did he sleep with her? I wasnt watching AMC for a bit during the fall so most likely missed this. Oh and my comments werent strictly about what Babe did; it was also about Krystal which Babe used that line to justify her mother's actions

bc normal people dont live in a damn castle! lol When they say Wildwind, EVERYone knows what they are talking about. Like alwaysAMC said, its a classic, just like on OLTL they always refer to Viki's house as Llanfair and Dorian's LaBoulae. Its just something rich folks can do

Great post! I really find Ryan's love to be conditional and Greenlee/Kendall/Annie would be better off without his kind of love. Heck even Spike and Emma would be better off without Daddy Dearest. I really don't see Ryan as a hero...an arse maybe but hero :huh: Same goes with Josh

And then he had no problem at all USING Spike so he can distract Kendall while he and Josh drugged Zach against his will. I suppose if the Budget Cut Kill-- um, Satin Slayer had harmed Spike while he was with Kendall, Ryan would blame Zach because of the piss poor security as well.

That makes no sense. The Budget Cut Killer's gonna say "Hmmm... she's only visiting Spike, so I won't kill her or hurt him. But the minute he's living with her again... DANGER!!"

If Kendall's a danger to Spike at the Slater's house, Kendall's a danger to Spike at the Slater's casino. So leaving Kendall with Spike ANY place is placing him in danger.

Yes he did. He said she could come live with him and Spike and Annie and Emma at the penthouse and she said she was not going to leave Zach and that he needed her so then Ryan said she had to stay away from Spike until it was safe. Whatever they say Ryan's reasons were it all said to me that Ryan had to punish Kendall for choosing to stay with Zach. How is living with Spike at the penthouse OK but not visiting him at the penthouse? Bad writing.

I also think Ryan is just being badly written. The way they never show Ryan with Spike when he made such a big deal about him being safe is just straight up bad and lazy writing though Ryan forgetting about Spike because of Emma is actually really in character. He tends to fall in and out of love quite fast.

If you want I will go look up the transcript for you.

    • 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.
