AMC: Tuesday

I thought Julia/Jaime/Kathy were very sweet today despite the locking the door issue - they were going for the "new parents-ish" angle. As long as the kid didn't catch them in the act...

Oh, don't be so bossy ;) and always my opinion on JR/Babe is not led by anything other than their actual history and the writing. I thought they were fantastic together the first few months of 2006 then the writers screwed it up b/c this song and dance of she-screws-him, he-screws-her has been played at least 30 times since (I exaggerate with 30, but a lot).

JSF, You must have missed her marrying JR while she was still married to her first husband than shagging Jamie the first night she got to Pine Valley...while she was madly in love with JR. You also must have missed months of her leading Josh on before and after sex. Recently she's been better and he's been stalking, but all the same. Everything you just described explains Krystal with Adam (w/the Tad affair angle), not Babe.

Well,you're right, I didn't watch consistently back then like I do now. I do recall one fond, if not SHOCKING memory of Babe. One time I turned on the TV and she was HAVING SEX WITH JAMIE AND JR. Same bed. I was stunned. So I do remember that, but it may have been a fantasy sequence. So that's why.

I hadn't realized she had no excuse for screwing Jamie while with JR. Hmm..

Oh well, flaws and all, I gotta say it: I LOVE BABE.

She is just a one-of-a-kind character and Alexa has an undeniable screen presence. I always enjoy her!!

One of the boys dreamed about JR/Babe/Jamie in bed together, she didn't actually do that.

She was happily married, a newlywed, she just did him *all-night-long* because she wanted to. She had no excuse for screwing Josh either, IMO (but that one can be argued, I guess).

I can respect that, even though I don't feel the same especially about that loving Babe part ;) If Babe would own that she likes what she wants, when she wants it - maybe I'd feel differently.

you are new to the show so its understandable but those of us who have been watching for longer have seen JR and Babe have this saem argument numerous times over the past 3 and a half years. Its beyond old and tiresome and they are beating a dead horse here.

Gotta agree with the Ryan/Annie love. They are great!

I agree. They make me laugh.

JR and Babe are so played out and amazingly enough Josh/Babe even though they never had a real relationship are played out as well. It'a all boring and tiresome. Even Ryan/Annie get more love than any of the Babe pairings. They waited too long and now they are screwed. I see Josh/Babe going the way of Jamie/Babe, trying too make it very hot and something it's not and then breaking them up and rarely sharing scenes together.

Why don't we just call them Rylee? Hell, if you look at the new Medianet pics, you'd think you're having da ja vu with Rylee again. :rolleyes: That's the moto of MMT's reign of terror, lather, rinse, repeat. And when she gives us something "original" it's a 35 year old, strike that (cause we're not supposed to be able to count either) walking fetus. If I don't laugh, this is going to make me cry.

I'm one of the few who has always liked Jamie and Julia together, so I think they're sweet. And the Kate stuff sounds precious. A little brightness in all of the current darkness. :) AMC needs that.

    • 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.
