I never thought I'd say this, but I am so PROUD of Ambyr. Her scenes in the tunnels with David/Adam and Bobbie/Krystal showed tremendous growth. I don't know WHAT in the world has been going on with the girl, but she's obviously doing her homework. She's truly been doing her best and it shows. She's not shrieking and screaming and yelling to emote. She's sounding less rehearsed and more natural.

God, I wish Jacob would've taken advantage of his golden opportunity working opposite all of these amazing actors. He's had DC, BE, MEK and even Cady as scene partners and he's still using his General Hospital bag of tricks. Same for Justin.

I enjoyed the scene between Adam and Krystal. This is the first time in years that two people have had a real conversation. It wasn't plot driven, it was character driven. Krystal made her point, Adam made his. Sure, they still wound up at an impass, but each character was ALLOWED to express themselves. Neither one was hushed in order to prop the other one. The viewers were left to decide how they felt, which has long been missing from this show. Balanced, character driven writing.

They totally missed the mark with this Greenlee recast, because seeing Ryannie today... dear GOD, MCE has glimmers of Becky's look and cadence.

Kate Collins is fcukin' phenomenal, man! I love her! She's playing Janet to the hilt, and its clear she's enjoying herself.

Kendall's hair looks absolutely delicious!

Please let Jonathan be ACS' shooter. That would totally be killing two birds with one stone.

Now THIS is what I love reading from you haha

I definitely agree with you and Steve regarding the wonderful character-driven scenes that were so emotional and intense between Krystal/Adam. Like you said, they left it to the viewers to decide who they feel for at the end.

Word to all the Ambyr/Colby praise too - my heart broke for her at the end when she stepped in front of the gun. Ambyr has improved immensely since her Sweet Sixteen days.

I've seen Jacob do some great work over the last few years - but 2007 has not been his year - he is phoning it in or something - I'm not impressed. He's been great before, so I don't know what his problem is lately.

While I agree MCS looks a lot like Budig - I also think Sabine has her mannerisms DOWN. I talked to my mother today (we have a weekly AMC discussion) - anyway she mentioned how Sabine is doing her mouth the same as Budig (although my mother isn't sold yet - she's hard with accepting any recast though).

And YES - please let Jonathan and Del both be the shooters - kill 3

I can always count on your anti-Ryan posts for a laugh.

Someone finally responded to my Ryan rant

No Emma or Kathy today.

The only characters that were on with very little airtime (just one scene) was Jonathan at the very end - and Julia and Joe in the hospital. Not sure if the Julia/Joe thing was in the first half or second - but they conveniently announced the nurse's strike was over and all is well - then they exited the show. lol

Thanks Yeah, I noticed those convenient 3 second spots with the J's, it's just that the NY ABC affiliate interrupted the first segment to tell us it's raining...a lot. lol.

No problem Those little weather interruptions are always so annoying....hope you can catch what you missed on Soapnet or something.

I meant to address something else today. I was a little impressed with Krystal's gunshots. Obviously she didn't shoot the gun really, but the direction was pretty good - and did they use tiny explosives or what? I was impressed that they blew up some little things (except the front door shot was a little lame).

that interruption was necesary though bc there was alot of flooding and people needed to know and be aware of the conditions out there. This is the 2nd time this has been this bad in the past 3 weeks

Annie looked gorgeous today. I really loved how her hair was done. She and Ryan were good as usual

Ah. I didn't get home til almost 7 p.m. today, so I just FF-wd'ed past the entire episode actually (was just writing out the characters on the episode for the April Episode Count, will watch later), including the special report. It almost felt as if it rained more this afternoon than it did during the storm 2-3 weeks back.

Word to all the Ambyr/Colby praise too - my heart broke for her at the end when she stepped in front of the gun.

I noticed that on FF-wd. Absolutely loved that she did that.

I wish Francesca James would come back as EP of AMC, outside of Felicia Mini-Behr, she was AMC's last great EP. Then again, not like EP's have much control on ABCD.

I am SO with you there. I've said on numerous occasions that Francesca James should be the EP of this show. Carruthers doesn't cut it with me. I know Frons exercises lots of control on ABCD, but of all the shows, AMC seems to be the one that he bothers with the least. So IMO, Carruthers actually has more power than JFP and Valenti do and is largely responsible for the crapfest that it's been the past couple of years.

AMC needs a lot of fixing before I could give it another look. Anytime I sporadically check in, I'm thoroughly bored.

It's on SoapNet right now, and I'm taking a peek.

What's up with Bobbie Eakes' voice? It sounds very raspy today... is she sick, or has she done alot of screaming in the last few episodes?

She's been sick. Even before her character started screaming, her voice started to get rapsy.

Hmm, well it's working for her. I think it adds a certain element to these scenes that's very exciting, LoL

It is interesting with Bobbie. You could tell she was sick on Wednesday's show - and that is when Jeff had to sedate her after she realized Janet had Jenny. So she got to rest up and not talk much on yesterday's show bc she was sedated. But her voice is still kind of raspy today - but I totally agree with you Kenny. Her raspy voice definitely added that certain element to the scenes - mainly bc she sounds tired and desperate - which at this moment she completely is.

Ding dong the hack is GONE! :D

I flove Kendall's hair lately, it looks de-lish-ious

Hannah and Kendall, too contrived today.

Josh was amazing today. I love him as the protective brother. I agree Josh "I hate that woman"

I wouldn't have taken a drink from Hannah if I were Kendall. It could've been laced with poison. Hannah is starting to have psycho written all over her which is a shame. She had potential.

Josh is ALOT more bearable now that he's moving away from the Babe sphere. I loved those two together at first but MMT ruined the potential they did have. Babe isnt so bad herself these days now that she isnt being pimped out like she was. She's better in smaller doses

IA on Kendall's hair. She needs to do that alot more often. She's been looking gorgeous lately.

Jacob is one of the very best young actors working today, and has held his own opposite DC, BE, MEK, and Cady and has at times, outshined all of them in his scenes with them! Jacob has delivered excellent performances throughout his time as JR!

You're right. I don't know what I was thinking.
