They wanted the Carey clan to be suffer a bit and have their happy ending then fine, but they did NOT have to demonize Adam in the process. He is teh victim here just like anyone else yet he gets trashed for feeling any type of pain after the love of his life (AMC's trash, not mine) tore his heart out and stomped over it with her trailer park payless shoes and everoyone else verbally and mentally beating up on him. Of course he hasnt been completely innocent, but they really went overboard to show he is an SOB to justify what Krystal and company did and to make him teh villian when he is probably the one that deserves teh most sympathy

<smallvoice> I kind of do. I remember similar feelings when Days went through its transition last summer -- awkward so-called redemptions and pacing, albiet countered by nice balance and character moments. The comparison might not be worth much, just thought I'd offer it up.

I also loved the Janet/Tad and Amanda/Adam scenes.

My favorite part yesterday was Adam turning the tables on JR, who imo is betraying his father by choosing Tad & the Careys over him. Adam's heart attack could have given JR the chance to make amends and instead he tried to trick his father into a confession.

Erica is the perfect choice to catch Sean & Ava since she was a teen temptress, too. I like her mother/son scenes with Sean and I think she'll probably end up helping Colby land him this summer.

I hate to judge an actress this early, but I have to agree that Sabine is not Greenlee. She lacks the smug snobbishness that Rebecca brought to the part, which made sense since Greenlee was raised to think the Smythes were superior to everyone else. Alicia did her best to salvage the scenes, but even her tears didn't make me believe this was Greenlee with Kendall.

I also agree that Jenny's kidnapping felt truncated. I feel torn about that. On the one hand, I wish Krystal had gone 10 months without her child for the sake of karma, on the other hand, at least McT's drawn-out storytelling style is over, which makes the entire show more entertaining.

IMO Tad and KWAK haven't suffered enough. When they go 9 moths believing their child is dead, while off with Janet or someone who will actually love her and raise her right, then I might say they've suffered enough.

Right now they got off easy once again. I only wish Bianca could have gotten Miranda back that fast :angry:

That is what I have been thinking recently as well.

Yesterday's episode was another great episode I love that AMC is heading in this direction. I loved practically every scene yesterday. Especially the Tad/Janet scenes and any scene with Amanda.

It's still kind of hard to watch Sabine's Greenlee. I want to give her a chance and I am hope that she will grow on me.

My problem with not Greens is not that she is not Rebecca's Greens because Bex is a tough act to follow. I'm not saying that Bex is a tremendous actress, but Greens was a unique character, and Rebecca put her stamp on the role. It would be tough for anyone. Sabine is ok in the acting department, but I think she needs to bring it down a notch for 2 reasons:

First being - it's annoying! notGreens and Ken together would bug the hell out of me.

And secondly but more important, why in the sam hell is this girl so perky anyway? She should not have returned as if nothing happened. She should still be angry and her wanting "Kenlee" back is just stupid! The writing for notGreens is all wrong, so there is really nothing to look forward to.

As for Ryan and Annie... They would be a nice couple if I could only tolerate Cameron (I'm so passed being annoyed with him), and I don't think the show did enough with Annie to make us root for her and Jughead. She went from Annie on the run to Annie/Ryan. Exactly who is this person as an individual? The character was not developed enough and then to chain her to that moron Lavery. Nothing to root for.

I totally agree. These days this show is too busy trying to pair off people, make instant couples, instead of letting the audience get a little insight as to who these people are, what they're about, decide whether or not we like them and THEN start testing the waters.

It's like Simone. For the longest time, we've been wanting her paired up with somebody because viewers cared about Simone and wanted to see her in a relationship. When it finally happens, they date off screen, and then get engaged out of the blue?! Two months later, Ethan's dead, and we're supposed to believe Simone is incredibly torn up over losing this guy... when we've seen NOTHING of their relationship because it all happened off screen. I feel the same way about Annie/Ryan. They went on, like, one date, find out that Emma's Ryan's biological daughter, and next we know Annie's in love and they're planning to get married?!? :blink:

Does Annie have any parents? What's Annie's maiden name? Why hasn't the show even given Annie ANY last name in the closing credits? It's only MCE as Annie. No McDermott? No Schmidt? No nothin'?

Greenlee has to hate Kendall. I mean Kendall now has everything she wanted and had. Greenlee had a successful company, a loving husband and desperately wanted a baby of her own. Kendall heads Fusion, has a great marriage with Zach and the baby with Ryan that was supposed to be for Greenlee. She also has to resent Ryan bc him not wanting kids pretty much ruined their marriage. His demons from his childhood haunted him and caused all types of problems. Now Ryan has 2 kids whom he loves and he's planning on having more. He's perfectly find with his past and has moved on. Why couldnt all of this happen when she was married to him? Greenlee is a very jealous, selfish and self centered person. Its in her nature to resent those 2 especially since she had so much hate in her before and after she left. This sudden change is too drastic. She better be fooling Kendall but I think she's genuine

    • I still say this is Frank's way of saying goddbye to JJ, who brought nothing to the show and was a complete dud for his entire return. He's purposelY been given an awful exit. Is this all Jackson's fault? Most likely not, but I place most of the blame on him. Too many contract demands, too much working around his travel schedule, too many stories he refused to do. GH has WAY too many actors calling the shots and influencing story and hires. We've seen it hurt the show time and time again.
    • Yeah, like others have said, Paul took it home for me today. We'd be so lucky to have him back for good.
    • I really like the scenes between Dani and Andre today.  Regardless of where this goes or who they end up with.  For now I appreciate that they have honesty with one another.  There's deep truth and vulnerability.  More than before.

      date: Tuesday, June 10 | Gregori J. Martin, Cheryl L. Davis | Phideaux Xavier Andre and Dani continue to use each other for their own personal reasons. I mean, good for them, but the people they truly want to be with are not each other. Anita wanting the temporary passes revoked? Oh, I know that made Sharon mad as Hell. MAD! Tracy said, "Shut up! I'm in charge now!" Bill playing around with child bride, via Ashley... that was kind of cute, but I also kind of wish it were true. Sharon, sweetie, your ugliness continues to shine bright like the ugliest of cubic zirconia. And Tracy, your vulnerability is beautiful; this reunion means so much to you, and it's genuine. That's what I want to see. So, with Bill's right side affected, then his stroke was on the left side of his brain; interesting. Very interesting, and while it's nice that he is making significant improvements, more can and will be done. Rehab, huh? Will it be at-home rehab or at a facility? That's what I would like to know. I appreciate Sharon [finally] letting that ugliness fade and her truth begin to come out. That's beautiful. Vernon continues to be wise with his years and his wisdom, and his continued connections with his grandchildren, especially discussing the past (summer of '69) with Uncle Cornelius, I love this. This is what I enjoy seeing. Dani is catching onto Chelsea's crush on Madison, and I think she approves. So, Shanice was a physical therapist to start? Quite interesting. Wait, so Anita is leaving town? Why do I suspect she's going to come home to some messes she'll have to clean up? Notes: I've loved the muted, neutral tones that Tamara Tunie (Anita) has been wearing throughout, but then we get moments like today where she wears this vibrant pop of colour, and I'm fully in love. Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to shine in her facial expressions when Marquita Goings' Hayley is talking nonsense. She embodies Dani from head to toe, eye roll and all. Tunie and Clifton Davis (Vernon) shine together; it's a natural, old-school kind of chemistry they share as a couple.
    • Maybe Vetsoapfan will chime in. He might know. 
    • Yeah, I'm thinking that, too. It certainly would be one way to deflect from the embarrassment of being fired early in your contract.  
    • I was hoping Dani/Andre would get caught in the most awkward way possible. lol.  Shanice is now a PT. Umm...okay. Glad they are keeping her in the mix.  Anita going to Chicago. Is this a way to have TT offscreen for some reason?        
    • Andrea Evans was not on the show at this time.  A part of me does wonder if this type of story is just thrown in for juicy gossip and didn't really happen.
    • No, it couldn't have been her. She left early 1983 (with an actor who would become her husband, and still is, as far as I know). Other names from the era would be Shelly Burch (Delilah), Brynn Thayer (Jenny), and Andrea Evans (Tina). But I doubt any of these were powerful enough to push the eject button on another actress.
