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.

    • 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. 
    • No it's alphabetical between the two openings - the A-whatever is opening 1 and whatever-Z is opening 2. So in theory, if his last name started with an A, he'd be first in opening 1 and they would have had to remove Maurice (who was in opening 2), which requires edits to both. Unless I'm going crazy haha

    • All depends, really. Whichever opening had Johnson would have had to change; it's not like he was in both openings.
    • Well, it's alphabetical, so they got lucky with the actor's name fitting into place like that. Otherwise, if they stayed alphabetical, they could have had to change both.
    • To their credit, the new writers are clever to stick to current events from the time they were taping, versus trying to predict current events at the time the episode airs.  Case in point, Susan and questionable choice to hop on a cruise two days after her son was shot, and the case remains unsolved, so her remains at risk...

      Although cruises around the world are not uncommon for Salem citizens like Julie, it seemed like the type of reference DOOL continues to like dropping into scripts for humor. Also, help me understand the Marlena and EJ interaction.  Didn't they come to a mutual détente earlier in the week?  I felt gaslighted, but I could've just as easily misunderstood Marlena's earlier talk to Belle, and then EJ. And is Bo in Boston (near Ceara) or Greece (where he was transferred after he was shot)?  I bet it is expensive to fly a coma patient transatlantically!
    • It was one of the bigger disappointments that Sarah wasn't part of the book.
