AMC: Once the Satin Slayer story is over...what's left?

The only thing that I think holds any real power in getting people to watch is the journey of Tad finding out that Kate is his. And Zendall if they continue to have strong story.

But that's it. What else is there? The non-couples of Jamie/Julia, Jon/Amanda, & Aidan/Di? I know they all have their fan bases but lets be honest, they can't rest the show on a bunch of story-less pairings.

JR/Babe/Josh part 72?

Erica, Barbara, Jeff and Jackson all acting like 5 year olds as TPTB fill time until they can ditch Walt Willey?

My greatest fear is the SS story will run long enough and create enough interest to get McTavish through April with her job in tact and then the show will lose all energy.

Don't forget JR/Babe/Josh round 1000,001! Babe will hookup with Josh then dump him and hook back up with JR. Then she will sleep with someone else and steal a baby and hook back with Josh. JR will try and kill her and end almost killing a Kane. Then Babe will lie to get hime off and hook back up with JR.

IMO, the ship has already sailed for AMC. I can't even make myself sit through an hour of it. Today I decided defrosting my freezer was more intresting than watching.

I wish another soap that was good came on at 12:00 central so I could switch, but since B&B is the other soap, I'll just use that hour for something else.

That is the story that I was most anticipating but I have now stopped watching since it has been completely ruined for me without Dixie there too.

It's like what happened last year with the Ball Explosion and then I don't remember what happened the rest of the year, except that it was awful and remains awful this year.

I quit as of last Friday. If something sound intriguing I may tune in occasionally but nothing ever sounds intriguing, so that's doubtful. I was going to turn in for the Dixie's funeral but after reading what's it's going to be about .... well, that's not looking too good either.

The Kate story flat lined right along with Dixie. Without Dixie the story will never have the same emotional impact. It will end up being a triangle between father and son. Which is some place I don't want to see the show go.

Tzelkos, it's really not that hard. McTavish uses whodunit mystery umbrellas to hide the fact that she can't write stories for the characters individually.

She did "Who Killed Will" back in the early 90's. Then she did "Who Raped TKFP" back in the late 90's... and what's the first thing she did when she returned this third time? "Who Killed Michael Cambias" She uses "Who's the Daddy" stories in the interim.

This is the third murder mystery she's written in 3 1/2 years... the SECOND in a mere 4 months!

So what's left after the Budget Cut Kill-- I mean, Satin Slayer story is over with? Another "Who's the Daddy" story.

That's her pattern. After a "Who Killed" story, she goes into a "Who's the Daddy" story, followed by a "Long Lost Relative" story, and then comes full circle to another "Who Killed" story.

    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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.)
    • 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!
