What in GOD'S name is her real name?!!! I'll DIE now that I know this!!! A large part of the reason why I LOVED Babe was her soapy name!!! Dear GOD!!! This doesn't mean I hate her now...and I pray to GOD ABOVE that we have a miracle and she SOMEHOW makes it out of this murder attempt!! (:() but I'm just BESIDE myself knowing that's not her real name anymore.

Please, someone. I HAVE to now. WHAT IS IT?!! What is her real name?!!!!

Arabella. Arabella Carey Chandler (I guess Hayward should be in there somehwere, but i refuse to acknowledge her as David's child, so I won't include it.)

This whole turn of events was a disappointment. First, the lackluster attack scene in the parking garage. Even if I didn't give a rat's ass about Babe being attacked, for dramatic purposes, it could've been MUCH more compelling. Especially since they went about shelling out a few bucks from their "Fire the Vets" budget for a realistic looking parking garage -- instead of the usual "One Car Parked at an Angle" look they usually have. All of that room, and all we get is Babe being slammed up against the hood of a car... which is most likely how she spent many a night in San Diego.

Secondly, are you kidding me with the town rallying at the hospital for Babe? The way yesterday's (2/12) episode was written, everyone in town cared for this whore and would be effected deeply by the news of her attack... as if the world stood still the minute each person heard... "Babe Chandler was hit..." Sh!t, I'm surprised Tad didn't go running into the Chandler Mansion yelling:

Tad: "JR, what are you still doing here?! Babe Chandler was attacked!"

JR: "Oh, my God! Babe Chandler?! Babe Chandler's my wife!"

Third, Zoe's on my sh!tlist now. I was totally into the Zarf/Zoe storyline, rooting for her, understanding her struggle as a GLBT viewer myself... and then, somehow, Zoe went from being involved in a storyline with Bianca, to being a Babe prop. I think between Josh and Zoe, there is very little need for a scriptwriter to write anything. Colin and Jeffrey must know by now that all they have to do is show up on set, and just say "Babe... Babe. Babe. Babe. Babe. Babe, Babe... Babe. JR is evil and doesn't deserve Babe. Babe. Babe. Babe... Babe. Babe... Babe." I was into the transgender storyline. Not the newest recruit spewing dialog from the Bianca Montgomery founded religion of Babe is Love.

Honestly. The sound of her name is HONESTLY irritating me. I get this burning sensation in the pit of my stomach every time I hear that name come out of any character's mouth.

Fourth, am I the only one (I haven't had the patience to skim through 8 pages of posts... especially when certain people's opinions -- which should NEVER be challenged -- started making me want to put my fist through my monitor) who finds a glaringly HUGE flaw in Ryass's... and I use this term loosely... "logic?"

Okay... Ryan wants Spike away from Zach and Kendall because, even if they have security cameras and body guards, the killer can still get past them to get to Spike... so, in Ryan's pea-sized caveman brain, if the killer knows that Spike is AWAY from the security cameras and bodyguards, and is only protected by Annie, then the killer will just say "Eh! Why bother?!" and just leave Spike alone?

RYAN, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

With this asswipe apparently having rights and priviledges at the police station and murder crime scenes (don't even GET me started on why this asshat is getting all of these rights), he's not around "protecting" Spike. He's too busy interferring with the police investigation, demanding to be in on every last bit of information, and blaming Zach and Kendall for all of the carnage. So, if the killer wants Spike, WHY wouldn't it be hella easy for them to just shove a needle in Annie's ass, storm in and get to Spike?

What's Annie gonna do? Suffocate him with her big pillowy lips?

I love you. Truly, madly and deeply.

Arabella. Arabella Carey Chandler (I guess Hayward should be in there somehwere, but i refuse to acknowledge her as David's child, so I won't include it.)

PLEASE tell me you're kidding.

DEAR GOD, tell me you're kidding.

That is ... well, I'm not gonna mince words, that SUCKS!!!

That is a HORRIBLE name!!!

I will NEVER call her "Arabella." Dear God, that completely diminishes her character, to have such a horrible name!!! What the hell?!!! She's not some princess on some kind of mushroom!!! This is ridiculous!! She's "Babe." simple, little bit country girl. I mean, "Arabella?" SHOOT ME IN THE HEAD, GOD!!!

That's her name. Arabella. No joke. It's no wonder why the call her Babe, though I think that's for a whole differnt reason. But ya, her real name is Arabella.

This is too much for me to handle in one night!

This is DISGUSTING.

Arabella?!!

Megan, I have defended you on Annyan, Dixie's death and the Biana/Zoe pairing. But now you've gone and DONE IT.

You IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you. Truly, madly and deeply.

Backatcha, Toots.

That is a HORRIBLE name!!!

No wonder why she used it when she went to Llanview to kidnap Little A and go on the run. Good job!

LMAO, I forgot about that.

JSF, you baffle me. You have no problem with the fetus. You have no problem with Dixie being murdered. We tell you day after day that this show has character resembeling characters we once loved, who are now pods, and you don't care. But Babe's real name outrages you?

LMAO! You are TOO much!

I know you're half-way joking though - I mean they always call her Babe - you rarely hear Arabella.

While we're on REAL names - you do know Tad is short for another HORRIBLE name, right? Haha Actually, you know what - maybe you're not joking. I remember having a huge crush on Tad Martin back in the early 90's - and when I first heard what Tad is short for, I was shocked...in a BAD way. It took away from his appeal for at least a week!

LMAO, I forgot about that.

Yes.... its an interesting set of priorities don't ya think?

What's Annie gonna do? Suffocate him with her big pillowy lips?

I think I just died laughing. To be fair I think Annie could probably bore the serial killer to death. An alternative to that could be the SK watching Ryan and Annie be romantic and I'm sure that would lead the SK to actually kill himself.

Well, you have to understand that I'm pro-life so (demon that I am, as pro-choice activists would say) I really enjoyed Megan's job, intended or not, at undermining Erica's abortion. I though it really spoke to the fact that we know so much more about fetal development now than we did then, and undoing that particular incident was a redeeming thing, to me. So there was that aspect. The second aspect was that it was SO over-the-top, sensational and a sure-fire way to get people to know what's going on at the show. And soaps need those larger-than-life stories now. I'm sorry, but I really think we're in a time where character-driven drama, in the daytime anyway, just doesn't seem to fly. It's all about the shock. So it was socially responsible (you'll laugh at that, I know), and it was a very "shocking" story. And because it's such a contentious issue, it had MAXIMUM buzz potential. That's why I thought that was a smart move.

Dixie is cute, she's sweet. I like her. Really, I do. But when I saw how touching the death was, even if it was written in such a campy way -- and Megan clearly had it in for Cady; you could just tell with the before and the fallout -- "the" episode was PHENOMENAL. it was the best hour of soap opera I've seen in a long time. At least a year. I was literally WEEPING for a character I admittedly didn't know as well as I had Bianca and others. And letting us know that her divine knowledge let her know the true identity of Kate, for me, worked. It was nice closure.

Babe is different.

Ever since I watched this show, and ever since they brought her on in 2002 or whenever it was, I LOVED that she and her mom, Krystal, (Eakes of whom I loved for her great hosting on, I believe GAC, country music videos! ) were country and Babe had such a unique name. honestly, that's one of the largest reasons why I could stomach such a backstabbing slut! It was all about "Babe." Literally. I have fond memories of being in college. She first came on around that time; I remember hearing the name "Babe" and just thinking how soapy it was! Plus, the casting of mother and daughter was just the best I've EVER seen. I mean, if I didn't know any better, I 'd think Eakes has a DIRTY little secret -- aka, that of an illegitimate daughter whom she put up for adoption -- and Alexa IS her daughter. It's just freakish how much alike they look! Oh, I digress. The name" Babe" was one of the things that drew me into AMC during college. I got semi-hooked during the baby switch -- again, all because "Babe" was in there. I'll even say that my eyes were only opened to the greatness that is Eden Riegel because of "Babe" and that storyline.

So yeah, seeing that the name "Babe" and later, her character, was the biggest reason I ever seriously considered AMC, this cuts like a KNIFE!!

LMAO! You are TOO much!

Oh, dear GOD! I thought Tad was the name! How in GOD'S HOLY NAME can that be "short" for anything?!! What, Tadden? Taddington? Tadley? !!! Dear GOD, I can think of NO other name that this could be "short" for!!! That's just despicable!

I think I just died laughing. To be fair I think Annie could probably bore the serial killer to death. An alternative to that could be the SK watching Ryan and Annie be romantic and I'm sure that would lead the SK to actually kill himself.

I laughed at that comment, but just in case Frons read it, I must say, "Don't worry, Fronsie! Some of us LOVE Annyan and don't back down -- it's WORKING."

'Tad' is short for Thaddeus.
