Because Frons will move hell and deeper hell (that sonuvab!tch ain't seeing heaven, since he clearly sold his soul to the corporate devil) to keep Alexa front and center.

I mean, isn't it true that Alexa/Babe has been on screen every single air date since January 2? I don't remember a Babe-Free episode at all these past six weeks.

Good show overall I guess.

Colin is a horrid, horrid actor. Breuning...well I got what I expected from him. But I guess I keep expecting Colin to prove himself and he never does. I actually think Alec Musser has real potential (nobody shoot me) and I think it's sad he doesn't really get an opportunity to prove himself meanwhile Colin is lead.

I don't think Colin is better or worse than Kinworthy, Josh #1. They're equally limited.

I disagree. I actually think Colin is good. I think he just over does alot of his anger. But I do feel for him in scenes like Greg Madden's death and such. I feel he does do some pretty good stuff. I remember when he played a rape victim on Nip/tuck one of the most powerful scenes in seasons IMO.

Alexa is an awesome actress thou. I think if they were to fire her that would be a huge mistake. Alexa is very exceptional actress to say the least IMO. Defeintly one of there better finds.

I hate to even say this but is it possible Babe really is extremely popular with the majority? I get the feeling AMC/ABC is probably being bombarded with calls from people saying they are no longer going to watch since they killed Babe.

I think the majority of viewers (especially those at the younger end, which are the most important to TPTB) follow along with TPTB's agenda quite easily. Babe= Saint, JR= devil.

I'm not saying that's wrong though...I wish I could watch the show like I used to without any consideration of behind-the-scenes agendas, character propping etc. It was much more enjoyable.

I agree. Everyone assumed the show would tank when Cameron, Josh, Eden and Becky left. Nope. AMC has a one track mind. The minute Greenlee left, Kendall became the Queen [!@#$%^&*]. The minute Bianca left, Lily became the town's tormented ingenue. I'm sure the minute Alexa left, Chrishelle's Amanda would all of a sudden get screentime.

It's a mistake of Alexa & Babe fans to even think that it would be a huge mistake if they got rid of her. What y'all don't see is the fact that McTavish, in her painfully limited ability, has written doubles and triples of the same caricatures.

I agree with this also but I like it because I like both CS and Amanda except in no way do I want her with serail killer Lavery. I think they just continue to string CS along with no real storyline because if Alexa leaves they want her to be the young centerpiece but once again I like that idea. I think she's a good actress, very attractive and has chemistry with most of her co-stars and I would watch Amanda scenes whereas I fastforward anything Babe is in.

The problem is as soon as McTavish actually starts writing for her I'll probably hate her. See Babe, Ryan, JR and Josh for proof.

The show was probably the best of the year next to Dixie's death.

I don't buy though that the whole town would be waiting for news on Babe's death. I guess though on one hand alot of the people there have a vested interest in this satin slayer outcome, so I guess that explains some of it. Bobbie Eakes stole the show. I mean WOW. Like I've been saying, I expected over the top... but I didn't get that. But yes, we get an entire hour of hysterics over Babe's death, and we got like two scenes for Dixie? The agendas of TPTB are so damn clear.

I sometimes think the silent majority does like Babe. My mom stays sway from the online stuff, message boards, spoilers and stuff and she loves Babe and she totally was bawling today. And as far as she knows, Babe is dead. Because she doesn't like it when I spoil it for her. So maybe there are alot more people like her out there. I used to like Babe, for what she was, but she has became such the fixture of this show and the way longer term characters are being sacrificed and compromised for her... it just bothers me and therefore can no longer support the character.

If Alexa decides to leave later this year, they would be smart to erase Babe from everything, start fresh. Maybe we'd get two Babe death's in one year :lol:

    • @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.
