OMG, if AMC has taught me ANYTHING, it's that I will NEVER, EVER go to Las Vegas again. The police there are idiots, they're mean and they LOVE to obstruct justice. I also have a feeling that "Las Vegas" won't ever air commercials during AMC since part of that backwards, hillbilly treatment they gave the Pine Valley hunks probably wasn't so realistic.

But still, if it's on my soaps I believe it.

SCREW YOU, Las Vegas!!

EXACTLY.

That's why this whole McTavish is out thing makes NO sense.

does ABC WANT AMC to die? Because McTavish CLEARLY knows the cast, characters and their quirks -- not to mention the INCREDIBLE writing skills of hers. I mean, "Satin Slayer" just DOESN'T stop!! It's on fire, as many of you have said!

And Kendall's method of "dying" -- INCREDIBLE. It's not a gunshot or strangling or something obvious for soaps. Three cheers for the great Megan McTavish, for setting up Kendall in a truly ORIGINAL way!

This from a guy who had no idea that Babe's real name was Arabella? MMT knows the characters, oh boy, no offense, but that's talking out your ass. She knows her characters so well that she had to kill one because she couldn't think of anything more to write for her. She knows her characters so well, that Adam and Erica have been POD's for over a year. She knows her characters so well that she made Tad Martin a torturer and murderer? She knows her characters so well, that she rewrites stories, she wrote? Yeah, genius. :blink:

I thought it was established that The McTavish (God, I LOVE her name!!!) killed off Dixie because Cady spoke out of turn? I truly believe, even if it's not been publicly mentioned, that the whole 'we ran out of story' idea was just an excuse to cover up the real reason.

So, there's that...

And I don't care what the characters were 'back in the day,' I love Erica, Babe, Tad, Aiden, Zendall, my favorite lipstick LesBIANCA :wub: :wub:, BARF, Zoe/Zarf, FREAKIN' Josh, deliciously evil JR, Adam, the INCREDIBLE casting of Colby (it's like perfect casting, her and David Canary), and anyone else I didn't mention! Love you guys! Thanks for entertaining me, babies!!! :wub:

Was Babe "love" when she kept Miranda away from Bianca for 9 months, letting her think the baby was dead? I don't consider that love. There's no excuse for doing what she did. She did it for selfish reasons - to keep JR. Soap characters do wicked things all the time. I like that. But don’t tell me Babe = love. That’s what McT wants us to think.

Pine Charles, I want to go on the record RIGHT now and say I disagreed with Babe's choice, in that situation. I did not support her. But she and I, we've worked through that. As you said, people make mistakes in daytime, and that's why I can safely say, yes, Babe is love. It doesn't mean she's perfect. It just means she is all that is right in such a bitter, cruel world. She's a beacon of hope and light, where there is darkness. She loves with her whole heart and gives all that she can. In essence, she is flawed, beautiful and love.

Oh yes JSF - you missed Janet's reign of terror last Jan.-April. It was one of my favorite storylines of the 2000's.

After the Mardi Gras explosion, Janet found an alive Babe in the rubble and took her to safety in a remote cabin in the woods with Little A. She ultimately held her captive, thinking Babe would replace Amanda as her daughter, since Amanda betrayed her during the Ball. So then she locked Babe in this cabin, and then brought out her meat locker/freezer with a dead Trevor (her husband, Amanda's dad) - and said if she didn't behave, this is what could happen to her. Well Babe tried to escape and Janet whacked her on the head with a big block of meat. Then she put Babe in the meat locker with dead Trevor.

Man those cabin scenes and the rescue scenes were so good....I miss Janet!

    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. They're connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters.
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character
