^^I feel the same way now.

At first, I wasn't warm to Annie. But now I am - mainly bc of Emma and her closeness to Emma. Also, Ryan is only tolerable to me when he's with Annie/Emma. Also I don't like Rendall as a romantic couple - so Ryan/Annie work as long as Kendall is out of his orbit romantically.

Um not really. It was blatantly obvious that Emma was Kate. Dixie is looking for her 4 yr old child that Madden gave away to some couple and at the same time Annie comes to town with a 4 yr old and a connection to Greg Madden. They show a picture of Dixie looking at Emma and then next scene has Emma with Annie. Anyone who's ever watched a soap could put 2 and 2 together. I like that Emma was not Kate. Thats a bigger twist and shicker bc it was so predictable and too easy making her Dixie's long lost child

Ditto. They are the best part of the show for me and I think they have alot of chemistry and love their little family. And yes she does make Ryan tolerable. I no longer hate him and thats a big accomplishment on her part bc Ive hated him ever since he stepped foot in PV

Well this may part of the reason for the Emma re-write: In his new video at SoapNet (where he is practically having an orgasm over Ryan & Annie), Frons suggests that everyone loved Annie when she first came on, then didn't like her as much when they thought she might have Emma!

See the results I mentioned previously of the focus group where every one of them was disappointed that Emma wasn't Kate, Tad and Dixie were very popular as a couple and as individual characters and Ryan and Annie were not. Obviously that wasn't just in the focus group either. Does anyone really believe that overall AMC viewers would have been as upset and angered if Annie had been murdered by the Serial Killer instead of Dixie? The problem as usual was the writing - they made Annie out to be the perfect mother who Emma adores and worships and they turned Tad and Dixie into a couple of nutcases. However, from what I have read, the general viewing audience still cared more about Tad and Dixie and their 18 year yearning for a baby girl then some bland new character who wasn't connected to anyone.

I agree Ryan but basically I think they already have. I don't recognize any character on this show anymore and I've watched for almost twenty-five years, since I was a kid of eight. I am still pissed and angry but think I am mostly sad more than anything. I feel like I am watching a member of my family die and am helpless to stop it. Soaps should provide heartbreak and happiness not just the former. That is all AMC is giving me currently. I think its why I only enjoy watching the show when the little girls are on. They seem to truly be the only happy characters on it.

    • 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.
