AMC: Tuesday

[dragonflies]

JR has NO reason to hate his father. Adam is the ONLY person who has been there for JR through thick and thin-when his mother let him believe she was dead, when Tad let him believe his son was dead, and so on...

There's my boo! Reaching like there's no tomorrow. I'm sorry but Sabine's portrayl is not up to par. I'm not saying she's a bad actress. I think she's quite good. However, I believe she's totally miscast in the role.

ITA! This just wasn't the right actress to play Greenlee and the writing isn't ringing true either. First yesterday the big mess up was when Greenlee refered to RYAN as the love of her life. That is NOT the case. Anyone who's watched AMC for a considerable amount of time knows LEO is the love of Greenlee's life. And as pissed as Greenlee was when she left town and then left her stock to Babe because "One baby stealing bitch deserved another", no way in hell would she come back all happy go lucky thinking she and Kendall would be BFFs again and Ryan would fall back in love with her. Greenlee should have come back to town ready to cause hell, not bake cookies.

Sorry, you didn't see it that way! JR was trying to reach out to his father, the best he could! Also JR can be his father side but without holding on to the hate & revenge which Adam is trying to do!

[dragonflies]

Sorry Mistydoll, I read your post wrong. I do think JR has no reason to hate Adam. IMO he should hate the hobillies and Tad with a burning passion

[mistydoll74]

AMC_Zendall_Fan, I understand, but Adam had turned against JR and disowned him the very night he found out the news about KWAK! The sad part is, that JR ultimately chose to stay quite about KWAK's secret because he choose his father's happiness over Tad's! Now he has both father's hating him! I just think its really sad!

Well, no offense to the new Greenlee, but she's NO Rebecca. and This new Greenlee, who is she? Greenlee should be a total bitch, not all 'I'm sorry Kendall, I'm sorry Ryan, how's the baby, let's all be friends" act. Come ON! We're not that stupid.

I LOVE Amanda! Ahh!

Loved todays show!

Todays epsiode showed alot about people!

I hope Janet sticks around!

[Adam]

Jamie and Babe are having alot of scenes together, reminiscing about their baby stealing days and remorseful. Perhaps they are setting up pairing them up again and having them ride off into the sunset.

I thought the show was great. Adam and Amanda especially. I love how Chrishelle is getting more airtime! And it sounds like it will continue.

I'm swooning just from Weds preview

ETA:

I love Erica/Sean scenes. I think they had tons of chemistry and make a good mother/son-like team. I also cracked up at the Ava/Erica exchanges

I know I'm going to be the minority on this but I liked the Kenlee scenes. I think the new actress did a good job and she and AM played great off one another. I adore Rebecca and would love for her to return to the role but so far I like this new actress too.

[Cari]

I loved Sean&Erica

& I really loved how his face changed when he talked about Colby

I also love Colby

Shes warmed up

Along with Amanda

A year ago I would never of thought she would be this good

I want another Jamie/Amanda relationship

A real one!

I just see this chemistry with them now

I think the new Greenlee just needs a couple months to get used to it & she will get better

but I dont think ANYONE can do Rebeccas Greenlee as well as her

She made It her own

[Cheap21]

I felt so sad for Adam in that final shot. Tad, the Careys and Adam's kids are all happy and celebrating and then they show Adam all alone after a heart attack. He got screwed over big time and he's paying for it with no one by his side. I reallly HATE that it went down like this

[alwaysAMC]

Haha - welllll, I've been good about not 'reaching' until that last segment today. I actually felt something for Sabine's portrayal of Greenlee...and I'm still not convinced, but that last segment gave me hope.

[R Sinclair]

We don't agree on much -- and I'd hate it if we did, because that would be no fun... but on this, I couldn't agree with you more! He totally got shafted. The story should have ended with Adam and JR both free of the Carey Girls, and that's that. But instead, we get Tad Carey and JR Carey. Not cute. Also Colby Carey.

ETA:

My heart broke for Amanda. I so totally feel for her. That's one of the very very very few good moves McTavish made with the Amanda character. Instead of making her yet another Valley Girl Whore, as which she was desperately close to obtaining a permanent brand, McTavish showed how devoted Amanda was to Janet and that in and of itself salvaged the character for me. Plus, I think Chrishelle is totally at her best playing off of the vets like David Canary and Kate Collins. Oh, my gawd, when Amanda was so forgiving of Janet for the bump on the head, I totally understood. Amanda understood.

I have to say I enjoyed the warehouse resolution to the storyline. I'm so glad Tad understood that Janet was concerned for the baby's well being. I always knew that about Janet. Mental or not, that woman is MOTHER! She goes on a primal instinct when it comes to babies. I am going to miss Kate, though.

Scenes like that with Adam have been one of the very few things that's moved me (in a real huma, good soapy kind of way) on this show in recent memory. It's been a repeated theme/image they've shown over the last weeks. I felt bad, too and hated it for Adam and like you hated how it all went down. Tad and KWAK suffered a couple of weeks, knowing their baby was alive. I don't know if they think this story is supposed to seriously represent redemption through similar suffering as Bianca suffered during MiMo's "death" as real-deal retribution for KWAK and Tad or not. If so, I AIN'T feeling it. They suffered, but not as much as Bianca since they knew that baby was alive and had a chance of tracking her down, not as long...a couple of weeks versus Bianca and nine months of sniffing her baby's birthing gown to keep from going insane.

I know that's all be beaten to death, but my point is...

What makes it so difficult for me to buy this redemption attempt/storyline as presented, is the huge quantity of scenes over the weeks with KWAK as a "paragon of parenting" (stolen from somebody at SOC) all decked out in her blue silk hospital gown, beat back face and throngs of blood relations, SadSackeus Martin-Carey, Church of the Purpose Driven BJ pilgrims AND Adams' own family (having turned their back on him and becoming Official Hobillies a la Colby) throwing themselves at her feet, glowing in familial camraderie, love, concern then ultimately joy at Jenny's return. While Adam, an almost singularly clean figure in his actions during The Baby Switch then gives Babe & KWAK second chances, even leading to love (or so they say onscreen) and marriage to Mama Hobilly...lies alone in a hospital room, in despair, rejected...with nothing/no one that he loves, no one he's protected and given loyalty around him. They're all partying and back-slapping in KWAK's room enjoying their stolen lives they've created for themselves. Hobillies, Martins (and Laverys just because I can't stand them) win again. And why exactly?

Anybody think this Carey Baby Napping has been truncated? Anyone know it's one of the last of McT's stories being cleaned-up/wrapped up or is it one from the new transition team?
