Okay, then go find anything from when RF came back. Go find the Maddie fall out. Go find me (and I want it more then you know) clips of her last miscarriage. Find clips of her face and reaction when she found out Dimitir cheated on her. Go find the clips of her dying in David's arms. Go find clips of her with Bianca during her anorexia. Go find clips of D&E in the basement. Go find clips of Mona's death.

Oh totally, her pills was amazing stuff too.

Oh, and find her finally recalling when she raped. Or when she told Myrtle what it was like to have her rapists baby inside of her. Find clips of her fight with David in the clinic where every fear of hers from when she was 14 year old child, was thrown back at her in Bianca's situation.

Find clips of her in the Betty Ford clinic. Find clips of her struggling to be sober, but not willing to admit she had a problem. Find the night she delievered Maddie. Find the day she found she was pregnant the last time, with Dimitri. Go watch the D&E clips I have posted, see the lighter, happier, more adorable and childlike Erica. Go find out all of her layers, then [!@#$%^&*] to me about Erica. Otherwise, I find it all empty words, and your just talking about a character you know next to nothing about.

My fondest memories of Erica are when she battled drug addiction and how much anguish and suffering she endured with Bianca not being in her life. Erica is as selfish as they come, but the way she just would give it all up for Bianca. Wow. You never knew Erica Kane had it in her. Everything was always for Bianca. That's why it was such a great storyline to have Bianca come out as gay. Because it shell shocked Erica and totally turned their relationship upside down. Still though till this day it is always about her children. Even though that is all she seems to do is meddle in their lives, her children mean more to her than any outfit or talk show ever could.

Long live Erica Kane. She is and always was AMC.

Thank you. And I know you love the D&E clips, but that's normal, they do that. Hehe. :D As for Erica, it's simple...if you know her, and her past, and still hate her, more power to you. But if you don't know her. If you haven't seen her at her best, her worst and all the wonderfully flawed goodness in between, and you still hate her...I have a problem. Erica is my favorite character, EVER. Daytime or Primetime. So consider it my civic duty to ensure that if you hate Erica, you hate her for who she really truly is, and not just for her incarnation/POD version she is now. LOL :D

I totally agree with you Kylie. Erica is like everyone on this show a shell of themselves. I really want to see the Saint Maria in the pushup bra speech again. Oh man that was the AMC I loved. I wish someone who had some of those scenes would post them. I know how hard it is to keep old tapes though so I won't hold my breath. Oh and her marriage to Adam. That was classic Erica too. There are tons of storyline potential for Erica and this is the best they can give us? Pathetic.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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!
    • 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.
