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!

    • Barbara Stock shares memories of her time on Dallas, including that Ken Kercheval was the only cast member she knew outside of the show and that she did not actually realize she was being written out. https://www.remindmagazine.com/article/29593/barbara-stock-spenser-for-hire-dallas-chips-spinoff-doing-know/
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  I concur that this isn't the most interesting material, but I do wish I could see how JoBeth Williams played those trial moments.
    • If I remember correctly, they were interrupted before Nicole could reveal what the third thing was. I remember feeling like it was an intentional interruption, too. 
    • 1976 Pt 5 Joanne’s hopes are raised when Jack seems to respond to the new woman she’s become. She wore a new dress and had a lovely dinner with wine, and when Jack drank more than he was used to having, he reached for her. Her happiness is dimmed when he calls her Peggy, but she says nothing. The next morning, when Jack can remember nothing, she tells him they made love. When Peggy later tells Joanne she’s going to have to stop helping her make herself over as it’s becoming too painful, Joanne angrily lashes back that Peggy might just as well back off, because Jack made love to her last night. Peggy, angry and hurt, asks Jack if it’s true. Realizing that Joanne told Peggy to hurt her, he tells Peg he’s going to ask Joanne for a divorce now. But Peggy is still guilt-ridden over Joanne and, fearing she can’t handle it yet, tells Jack about Joanne’s suicide attempt. Jack, horrified, goes home to see Joanne, who soon realizes that Peggy must have told him about the pills. She assures Jack that she knows life is too precious to ever do that again. Once Jack is satisfied that she really means it, he returns to us Peggy. But Peggy is close to breaking from the guilt and tension she’s living with, and tells Jack that if he’s ever free, they can decide then. Needing a fresh perspective, Peggy takes Chris up on her offer that Peggy spend the night with her, as Snapper won’t be home.  Chris, meanwhile, has been spending her free time preparing Nancy’s apartment for her homecoming. Expressing appreciation for everything she’s done, Ron has offered to make her a table similar to one he’s made for Nancy. Chris has thanked him and has given him her address so he can deliver it. Stuart, wondering why Ron can’t seem to get another job despite the leads he’s been given, checks him out and learns he was in prison for burglary but there was also’ a rape charge, which was dropped. Chris asks Nancy, who explains that before their marriage Ron picked up a woman in a bar. She took him to her apartment and began to seduce him but then screamed rape. He had taken nothing, Nancy adds, but was told he’d rot in prison if he didn’t plead guilty to burglary. No one  told him that the woman had declined to testify. Nancy was the only one who believed him, and she with him against her family’s wishes. Ron walks in at the end of the conversation and informs Chris that he tried to deliver her table but  finally realized he was looking for the wrong address. When Chris later returns to her apartment, she finds Peggy whimpering on the floor in the dark. Slowly Chris gets the story from Peg: The lights wouldn’t -work when she arrived, and she was grabbed from behind, thrown to the floor, and raped. Chris convinces Peggy that the police must be called and manages to protect Peggy from brutal questioning by insisting upon an officer trained in dealing with rape victims. After Peggy is taken to the hospital, the investigator, Miss Weston, asks Chris who might have  known Peg was there—or might want to rape Chris herself. After thinking this over, Chris tells her about Ron. Jack has been trying to reach Peggy. Lashing out from his own pain, Stuart brutally tells him that she’s been raped and he is partially to blame, as she went to Chris’s to get away from her problem—him. Jack is shattered. Instinctively knowing that Ron is guilty, Chris confronts him. But Ron sticks to his story of looking for a wrong address and, under pressure from Chris, finally offers to be in a lineup. Brock tells his mother that Jill wants to visit Phillip’s grave. Kay replies it will be “a cold day in hell” before. She does. But when Jill asks Kay if she would put some flowers on the grave for her and her baby, Kay, touched, breaks down and asks Jill to go with her. Liz, knowing that Kay spends too much time alone, virtually forces her to accept an invitation for dinner and then invites Ralph Olsen, a plumber who is a widower. Kay is aloof at first -they apparently have nothing in common—but when Ralph turns out to be a former alcoholic, the ice is broken. Ralph offers to help Kay with her drinking problem, and she soon finds she likes him very much. Liz becomes concerned with Kay’s assumption that her friendship with Ralph is heading for much more and tries to warn Kay that. Ralph is not the marrying kind. She tries to head Kay off when she makes plans for a “love nest,” but Kay persists and attempts to seduce Ralph at her pool. He evades her passes and asks her if they can’t just slow things down. But Kay is undaunted, and since he isn’t proposing, she does so herself. Ralph, who has told Bill that Kay’s money stands in‘ their way, gently turns her down, explaining that she would need to change him and they wouldn’t be happy. Humiliated and hurt, Kay starts drinking again.
    • I think it wasn't just some of the poor casting choices that did the show in during its early days, but also the flat writing. Perhaps it was network interference? You'd think the Dobsons would have fought harder for their original vision, but after 6 months they dropped most of it. 
    • Small Bar is a better set than the casino set.
    • The show loses me once the crime stories are in overload.  Heather and Jerry's marriage doesn't excite me. It would have been tawdry, but I think there should have been more lingering in Heather and/or Greg's feelings for the other. Or at least having someone suspect that their newfound sibling relationship was more complicated. But none of their parents were around. It just feels like they burned through too much story there too quickly.  Ellen and Dale's romance definitely seems intriguing. I don't think I knew they toyed with Jill having feelings for Dale, which would have meant that Jill was once again considering going after her mother's man. That's a very interesting dynamic. With David coming home from Hong Kong, and Tom afraid of David's involvement, I think they should have given Tom and Jill a try. Tom trying to use Jill to buy respectability and maintain power at the law firm.  Vicki and Tony's affair seems like fun with Vicki just seeming to see Tony as more of a sexual object and it leading to a health crisis. There was probably some space to explore that both Tony and Ginger's fathers were criminals (Tony's bio dad). I can't remember if Harry Wilson/Ike Harding died, fled town, or went to prison. If he was alive, I think he would have been worth revisiting.  What fascinated me about "Somerset" in early 1976 is its a show of remnants, pieces of the show's different eras, and they seem to sorta work, not as well as more well defined canvas would. I do think a streamlining was needed, but I am not sure if the criminal angle was the best route to choose. 
    • Thanks for finding that about the Andrade home. I think it wasn't show in the opening weeks, but I may be wrong. With Danny in Los Angeles and Santana on her own, I don't think much space was given to Rosa and Reuben. It might have been nice to see them engaged in a healthy relationship threatened by Rosa keeping Santana's recently uncovered pregnancy from Reuben or even a visit from one of their other chidlren.  During the 1991 dinner, I think Rosa stated she would go home after work, which I took to me that she left the Capwell estate.
