AMC: Tuesday


Recommended Posts

The JR and Babe scenes were the best thing I saw on "AMC" "Passions" or "Days" today. (excepting hot EJ on "Days" of course). But honestly, Alexa and Jacob are PHENOMENAL performers. And AMC is a well written soap. The dialogue is fresh and things stay interesting. I'll never understand how some "fans" turn against it. I love "Passions" but let me tell you, if you want a "real" soap, AMC is like a splash of water in the desert. There's no comparison when it comes to character driven (as opposed to plot driven, stiff) dialogue.

The Jamie/Julie and Kathy seems sounds sweet. Just because Jamie and Julia were in bed together, doesn't mean it's going to morally corrupt her. As a child, it always made me feel better to know that my parents were together, if I went in to see them in the middle of the night. Something about their loving each other made me feel, safer. And Jamie being shirtless, so what? My brother runs around the house in his boxers.LOL I think it's nice that Kathy has a sense of "family" around her. It's not like Jamie is a one night stand and will be gone in the morning. Kathy probably felt the safest she's felt in months with those two. It sounds like a nice change for AMC. And at the end of the day, Jamie is her brother. Her blood. Her family.

But see, that's the thing. It was obvious that Jamie wanted to hit that. And it's all about timing. Thank GOD IN HEAVEN that little Kathy didn't walk in on them later, but it could have happened. And for that, I disrespect Jamie now.

Besides, are we forgetting that poor Kathy is confused enough as it is? She doesn't need to see two "friends" sharing a bed. It's in poor taste.

I 100% agree with you - there was nothing wrong with the scenes - and I too as a child felt safer knowing my parents were together.

Plus Jamie had a shirt on! lol - he wasn't even shirtless.

I think JSF might be the only one who didn't like the scenes....

My parents didn't get married until I was in late elementary school - and we didn't live together as a family until 2nd grade - so when I saw my parents together in bed as a kid - whether they were reading the paper or reading a book or just laying there watching TV - I felt so safe and happy that they were together.

Jamie and Julia had plenty of clothes on in bed today - and Jamie only kissed Julia 2-3 times before Julia sweetly said "I think we have company" - that was IT.

It was adorable - and the way Jamie was playing with Kathy was adorable.

There was nothing wrong with any of those scenes...nothing at all IMO!

Marriage makes it right? I think love does. All a child needs to feel safe is to feel love not matter where it comes from. And that's what Kathy needs most right now, to feel loved and protected, safe. Marriage is a piece of paper to kids Kathy's age.

I haven't seen this show in a very long time, but is sounds like not only does Tad have a bond with Kathy, so does Jamie...and that makes this scene even sweeter. That's his sister. The little girl he wanted for so long. The baby sister he mourned. Twice, if you include Bess. So for me, Jamie with his sister, and being loving and supportive has been a long time coming. :)

They've been dating for awhile and are committed to each other, aren't they? Forgive me, because I don't watch everyday anymore, but I don't think either Julia or Jamie sleep around with other people. They're not swingers!

It’s not like Bianca seeing Erica and Jackson (when Erica was still married to Travis). Poor Bianca set 'Mommy' and 'Uncle Jack' dolls on fire.

I LOVED the Jamie/Julia scenes. Rarely do I enjoy Justin Breuning but I thought he was really good today. The guy will never win an emmy but I saw that likeablility in Jamie I saw when Justin started back in '03... when Jamie was fun and not such a lame-o.

Zendall were awesome as always.

As much as I dislike Babe (and Alexa Havins) she (and Jacob) had me totally enthralled.

As for Ryan & Annie.....I think they have chemistry, I think they're cute...but ultimately Annie is useless and isolated. They need to have her involved in something else in additon to being Ryan's love interest. Maybe with her going to Wildwind that will happen, but probably not. She just needs more connections and purpose because at this rate I can see her a year from now being no more developped than she is now.

Frankly? From my conservative viewpoint, I would say yes. After all, one so-called "committed relationship," on the surface," in Jamlia's case, could end at any second. Poor Kathy could have to see a revolving door of men in Julia's room by the time she's 12! I've heard horror stories from friends about all the women or men their divorced parents bedded.

No, I don't think it's responsible without that "little piece of paper."

    • 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.
