Thorsten has gotten juicy stuff since he's been on the show. He's a very popular actor with the fans and his co-workers, and he's best friends with the EP.

This thing with B&E isn't new. They aren't suddenly making them the focus. AMC has lost many of it's popular actors/characters and are rebuilding based on the ones they have. Alicia Minshew has been frontburner basically since she joined the show. This is nothing new.

The new favorites on AMC are as follows:

Kendell, Zach, Greenlee, Ryan and Annie

Anyone who is related to them (the Lavery, Kanes, Montgomery's) are all set.

Everyone else on the show is chopped liver and are only considered fluff.

The new AMC favorites? The only difference between B&E's supposed "favorites" these last three weeks and McTavish's favorites these last four years is that the Carey Whores aren't holding down the top spot.

Babe, Ryan, Kendall, JR, Zach, Krystal and Tad all dominated the screen these last four (three in Zach's case) years.

McTavish crammed Rylee/KenLee and then Ryannie down our throats just as much.

Actually, I'd say CamMat has come out of this writing change on top as well. He had no fewer than 4 soliloquies today--more than any other character. He's also been more prominently featured since B&E took over, and they're giving him plenty of hard-hitting emotional scenes (well, they'd be hard hitting and emotional if another actor were playing Ryan, I should say...). Now with Ryannie being spun out into their own story (with the stuff about Annie's family coming up) and his declaration today that he still loves Greenlee, I don't see him airtime decreasing. I think he's solidly at the top of the list of "favorites". JMO.

The fact that it's nothing new doesn't stop it from annoying me. In fact, the longer it goes on the more annoying it is. Thank God I like Greenlee or I'd be pretty unhappy right now. I do like Zen, but they are on way too much and it seems like they are always right. It gets old.

    • Not to mention, there are an equal number of men versus women in each opening: seven women and five men (including the core four Duprees).
    • Well, the head writer obviously knows nothing about writing romance.  He writes couples, but there is nothing romantic about them.  They just pair-up for a year or so, and then move on to somebody else.   He needs to give us a couple of long-term romantic pairings that struggle to get together, and make mistakes despite their deep love for one another.  Everything this dude writes is so superficial and lacks any kind of depth.  Even his silly business plots aren't really plots -- they are just musical chairs for who is CEO here, or there, and then over there.  
    • @P.J. No, you are not alone in this. I agree, the writers have overused "I'm a Dupree." I get it, but if they could pace themselves and use the term at more pivotal moments, I believe it would have more impact. Right now, they turn me off. A part of it is that they went the opposite way I felt they should have with the core four, Anita should be our favorite character, and I am sorry she is at the bottom of my list. Why do I care more for Nicole, the daughter who has everything, over Dani, the underdog? Like I said, it's an odd setup that I am getting used to.  I look forward to the in-laws interacting more and bonding away from the Duprees. I already root for Bill and Bradley, I see myself warming up to New Ted soon.

    • A proper recast for Alex, who pulls the strings behind the scenes (and doesnt HATE Amanda like MarjAlex did) would be great..at that point I see her having her fingers in the pie just to make sure it all doesnt go to hell. My rival for Phillip would be my fan fiction of a kid of Ed and Ritas. Somehow Roger got a hold of him, made him think he was Alan's kid ( I would think Rita would push him as someone who could get a piece of the Spaulding) and secretly raised him to HATE Spaulding and work to take them all down...of course the truth comes out that he is Ed's kid, so we have a "bad" Bauer who is Phillip's match, and Rick is stuck in the middle trying to make a relationship with the brother who HATEs his best bud.
    • Does anyone know what happened to her post-RH? She seemed to evaporate after she left the show. Which is why I can believe she said negative things about the show--maybe it got her labeled as "difificult?" I thought she was a very good actress. I liked her performance as Siobhan. She had really good chemistry with Michael Levin. IMO, they were a bit gutless not to go for a Jack/Siobhan romance after Mary was killed off.
    • You might be going crazy and overthinking, because that's not how it goes.  Right now, it's the Hamiltons versus the Richardsons in the openings, with Alex Alegria/Buglioli/Ben Gavin with the Richardsons (Opening B), while Jen Jacob is with the Hamiltons (Opening A). Opening A: Brandon Claybon Timon Kyle Durrett Marquita Goings Jibre Hordges Jen Jacob Mike Manning RhonniRose Mantilla Arielle Prepetit Opening B: Alex Alegria Lauren Buglioli Sean Freeman Ben Gavin Trisha Mann-Grant Ambyr Michelle Colby Muhammad Keith D. Robinson By your reasoning, the opening should be (and would make zero sense): Opening A: Alex Alegria Lauren Buglioli Brandon Claybon Timon Kyle Durrett Sean Freeman Ben Gavin Marquita Goings Jibre Hordges Opening B: Jen Jacob Trisha Mann-Grant Mike Manning RhonniRose Mantilla Ambry Michelle Colby Muhammad Keith D.

    • Oh yes, I still remember that. But I'm much kinder to David Henesy than you are overall.
    • I just finished the Locher Room Texas reunion.  I really enjoyed it.  I love that the actors have such fond memories of the time they spent working on Texas and with each other.  It is really special and unique.  Kin was being Kin.  He was moving the camera around or he was constantly moving, at one point he is completely in the dark, then you can't hear him.  lol.  He is like a hyper child.   And as I suspected Alan admitted he has not read Tom Lisanti's book.  It is lazy and unprofessional for him to not have done so before speaking with this group.
    • They were always meant to be short-term, I think - at least Mick and Lou.
