Nobody had a problem when 17 year old Sarah Michelle Gellar was sexing it up thirtysomething Windsor Harmon.

LOL - that is interesting. See, its the internet. No one back then knew or cared bc they didn't have the internet.

Just another reason to blame the internet on spawning overly-critical soap fans who drive ratings down with their noncommittal ways...

I don't really have an issue with the age issues that seem to be taking up the entire topic of the show today. I mean they are actors, its all professional.

I had issues with Jonathan/Lily mainly due to the character histories and how wrong it was.

Ava is so much fun! Its nice to see Leven play bad and the complete opposite of Lily. She is going to be so interesting to watch and yes Lily's character could have been developed more.... but I think its going to be interesting to see how the two interract and when it all comes down to it, for me, if this story gives the ubber talented Leven Rambin more work, well that trumps every other issue. AMC needs to use Leven as much as they can because I am a firm believer that this girl is going places and come contract renewal time, I do not think she will stay. Kudos to AMC for giving Leven this storyline.

Other comments on today's episode, I really enjoyed Adam and Krystal one on one today. You can tell deep down Adam is so torn up over this and uses the rage/revenge as a cover.... but that's Adam Chandler. They are staying true to his character that is for sure! Something that was not happening when Krystal has his nuts in a mason jar on the top shelf in the pantry. Josh as his son is the perfect revenge and I love how Babe was all up in his face. I really have started to enjoy the writing for Babe again. I think its because she is not the centre of attention. Which is a good thing.

Amanda and Adam are fun to see. Even if its blackmail, as Alex said, who would have thought Adam and Amanda would have a story together.

But burning down Tad's house, Tad and Dixie's house. Argh!!! Rub it in! We get it, Tad and Dixie are finished but dammit! This hurts a bit.

You make good points. I don't really have the problem with it either; I was just pointing out in my post above that it wasn't in issue at all in the '90s because I didn't have the internet and knew nothing about the behind-the-scenes stuff. You’re right – it’s all professional. It’s not like they have her doing a striptease for dirty old men. Lily with Jonathan was just lame. The fact that he tried to kill her and was a woman beater made it disgusting. Who would be with someone romantically that tried to kill them? Brain tumor or not, it made Lily look dumb.

My comment about Leven is just an observation about young girls in today’s world. They’re going up too fast!

OH MY GOD. AMC today is so shocking!!!

Before I knew Leven's real age -- 16, right -- I wouldn't have been MORTIFIED by the Ava/Aiden scenes. But now, knowing her real age, I feel sort of dirty watching this GIRL, not woman, kiss a GROWN MAN so passionately! I know that the law is against them only if they have sex, but still, it seems a little TOO much like pedophilia!

In other news, what's up with Josh?! I'm only 10 minutes in the show but I can't believe he's going along with this. What in God's name is wrong with the world?!!

Oh dear heaven! Is Aiden really going to have passionless, emotionless sex with this WHORE?!!

Yes I agree Pine Charles. There is definately a loss of "innocence" so to speak alot earlier these days in young girls. I mean I work in retail and see tonnes of people every day and when I see like 10-12 year old girls dressed questionably and loaded up with make up I am like.... ok something is wrong is with this picture. But its the day and age we live in I guess.

I don't agree with it. But I mean Leven is 16-17 and again its all acting. Dual roles win emmy's.... LOL if Leven doesn't snag it this year, hopefully for sure next year!

I think Leven earns an Emmy squarely for her compelling, realistic portrayal of a young girl with autism.

I DON'T want to see Leven win her Emmy by selling her soul to the devil (that would be playing the slutty whore Ava, as an underage woman KISSING A GROWN MAN!!)

It's just too unspeakable.

Oh, Adam get over it! So she's carrying another man's baby. Big deal! Be a MAN and stand by your woman, you JERK!

Damn, Alexa is looking particularly HOT today!!!

As for Josh, I'm ticked off with him. So he's acting ..

"I'm smarter AND I'M BETTER LOOKING!"

Oh, no he did NOT just say that!!

You pompous ASS!!!

Get over yourself, you creep!!!!

Oh, Adam get over it! So she's carrying another man's baby. Big deal! Be a MAN and stand by your woman, you JERK!

If he did that, it would be totally out-of-character.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAA.

hold the freakin' PHONE.

Did I just hear right?! Were Jonathon and Amanda "bed buddies?!!!

And here I was about to say I respected her and actually warmed up to Amanda.

TRAMP!

Yet you like Babe and Krystal??

Well, I don't know the character as well as you. I'm just sayin', in real life, to hold onto a good woman, you gotta keep the commitment.

Yet you like Babe and Krystal??

Unfortunately, Pine Charles, this is the best example of a double standard when it comes to my character biases. Babe and Krystal are saints who are flawed; Amanda is a flaming whore who deserves to be stoned for her sins.

What's up with how the writing credits were displayed today? No script writer???

Anyway - loving Ava! Haha - what a little slut. Its so nice watching Leven act as another character...looking forward to Lily/Ava scenes.

Erica is a riot today - I'm loving how Jack/Erica are pretty much pissing off Barbara with the way they are acting this out.

Not sure about the Josh/Adam stuff today - we'll see how it goes....

I really like the Wildwind set today - and I'm loving how Amanda is center of attention.

Wow, I disagree about the Leven sentiment. I find these scenes VERY disturbing, considering Leven is underage and she's kissing a GROWN MAN. (How many times can I say that -- and get grossed out?)

Anyway, I doubt you'll get your wish for Lily/Ava scenes -- remember they're played by the same person. Not gonna happen.
