AMC: Slow, repetitive and just plain boring

I'm a few days behind in my viewing and I might just read recaps instead for most of the reasons Adam and whyamcwhy gave.

I'm not a Zendall fan and I'm tired of seeing them and Ryan/Annie 5 days a week. I hate hearing Kendall constantly complain that she can't be there for both her sons. The Annie mystery makes her more interesting, but not enough for me to sit through her lying to Ryan again and Ryan questioning her about her secrets. It feels like the same scenes over and over.

I also despise Ava, who seems to be the only character not involved with the Crash story who gets significant airtime.

I'm considering taking a break from the show until October to give B&E a chance to write something that can hold my interest.

Frons always loved the character of Greenlee. That's why he was so dead set on giving Greenlee another hit couple after Josh Duhmel left AMC. Rebecca stayed and Frons pretty much forced the writers to write new love interests for Greenlee that's why we got Juan Pablo and Carlos as love interests before Frons forced the pairing of Ryan and Greenlee. Frons loved Ryan and he thought that Ryan had the magic touch (both of his pairings between Kendell and Gillian were absurdly popular) that's why he had Greenlee and Ryan paired together. He thought they would be a big hit and instead they ended up being luke warm and fizzled at the end of 05'.

Frons loved both characters Ryan and Greenlee. Which is why he is pushing Ryannie so hard in the interviews. I am sure that if people were responding better to Sabine as Greenlee he would be pushing a triangle.

Chrishell is a good actress. However I think Levenn can act circles around her.

I think Chrishell is a good actress however IMO she doesn't compare or rate when in comparision to Kelli Giddish, Eden Rigel, Alexa Havins, Levenn Rambin, Melissa Claire Egan, Alicia Minshew, Terri Ivans or even the seldom seen former starlet Tanisha Lynn. Sure she is better then Ambyr Childers but I don't think Chrishell compares to any of the above younger actresses.

Sure she has a nice little rapport with Jeff Branson, Aiden Turner and struck gold with Kate Collins but I still think she is limited very limited as a dramatic actress.

He pushed her hard didn't he? :lol: She has Frons to thank for those two emmy nominations.

I don't think Chrishell is leading material either. :unsure: to be honest.

She is fine as an ensemble but I don't believe she could carry an entire storyline by herself. She needs someone to back her. She needs to be supported by other actors and actresses. Rigel she is not.

To be honest Young, Havins and Bruening are more natural behind the carmera then Chrishell is IMO. Chrishell is a good actress and she does have a spark about her however I don't believe that she is a powerhouse actress. As I stated above I think many other actresses could easily out act her. Even Jacob Young who has relatively two sides to his character could reel in a better emmy tape then her. Havins will chew Chrishell out if it came down to the two girls having an audition over the same role. Havins can easily bitch slap her out of a scene in terms of acting performence and acting style. While Justin may not be the best actor I still think he is more comfortable on screen then Chrishell is and I think his breezy, mellow style fits well for his character.

Chrishell and Connie (ex-Erin) are on the same wave length as far as acting goes. They have good rappaport and chemistry with their counterparts and when the performences are there they deliver. However they are by no means a solo act. IMO.

I agree. God I loathe that man. I also notice that the brunettes on his show tend to usually end up lightening their hair over time. I loved KM with the dark dark hair she had at the beginning of her run on GH. I don't like the colour as much now. The other thing is all the actress seem to turn into sticks. KS is withering away over there at GH. There was nothing wrong with her size when she started. I know all the soaps have slim actresses but ABC seems to be the one where they virtually shrink before your eyes. I also agree the blondes get the majority of the storylines. Considering how little of the general population is blonde its pretty blatant. But then ABC is a world where anyone who is not Anglo does'nt exist. Not even someone biracial apparently. No wonder the genre is dying. The only fantasties they want to sell are those of their own- middle aged professional men with a resentment of tough talking and career minded women. As a woman they aren't showing me anything I want to see. You know shows where women have a brain and are independent and strong and can actually live without a man. I have to watch GH clips from the eighties and early nineties to see that. Ok rant over. Just seeing Frons name makes me see red - not blonde :lol:

    • There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in Gaza https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrv5rl73zdo Quoting excerpts from BBC article: The baby's mother Najwa, 23, is changing Siwar's nappy. She weighs just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be around or over 6kg. "There was no food when I gave birth to her," says Najwa. "If I wanted to feed myself so I could breastfeed her, I had no nutrients to make my health better... She now only drinks formula milk, and we don't know how we'll be able to provide it for her." Israel has banned international journalists from entering Gaza to report independently. According to Siwar's doctor, Ziad al-Majaida, "Nothing enters through the borders, no milk, food or anything. This leads to big problems here for the kids. This baby needs a specific type of milk. It was available before, but because of the border closure, the stocks have run out for a while now." Since the beginning of the year, according to the UN, about 10,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children have been identified. Food prices have rocketed by as much as 1,400%. Charity kitchens, which have helped hundreds of thousands of Gazans, are shutting as food supplies run out. Twenty-five bakeries supported by the World Food Programme have been forced to close. Israel cut off all humanitarian aid and other supplies from entering Gaza on 2 March, and resumed its military offensive two weeks later The United Nations has said the Israeli blockade constitutes "a cruel collective punishment" on civilians. The UN's humanitarian director, former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, said that international law was unequivocal. "As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in... Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip," he warned. From the BBC reporter: I put this point to Boaz Bismuth, a leading member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. He (Bismuth) denies there is an aid crisis caused by the blockade. "There is food in Gaza... Israel wouldn't do such a restriction if the population didn't have food. I mean, I know my country perfectly well," he (Bismuth) said. BBC reporter: I put it to Bismuth that he was denying the evidence of people's eyes, that children were starving. "There are not starving children. I repeat again." He (Bismuth) said that there had been allegations months ago of famine, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza "which was crap". ----  ----  ---- A UK-based advocacy group for Israel has the nerve to claim war may reduce obesity in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/10/uk-lawyers-for-israel-condemned-over-claim-war-may-reduce-obesity-in-gaza
    • Joel Crothers would have been perfect as Owen (maybe because Margo wasn't too far off Denise). A shame he couldn't have played a dual role. Eliot did have more room to grow. I wonder if whatever allegedly happened with Denny Albee played a part in both their exits.
    • Andre is the standout in the cast among the males when it comes to fashion.

    • I remember Evie's last scene and it was in Justin Marler's house and she is telling them that Ben is asking for a reconciliation and she is going to join him. I always have wondered what Janet Grey did after leaving Guiding Light (I know from the interview with Kathleen Cullen that she did have a baby and they stayed in touch for awhile).
    • https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/11/trump-accept-luxury-plane-gift-qatar Donald Trump is reportedly ready to accept a luxury plane described to be a “palace in the sky” being offered to the US president as a gift from Qatar’s royal family, almost immediately igniting accusations of bribery and corruption as well as commensurate criticism. citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, ABC reported (link) that the Trump administration was preparing to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8, a jumbo jet from the Qatari royals that was estimated to be about $400m. Trump would then use the 13-year-old plane as the new Air Force One until shortly before the conclusion of his second Oval Office stint, at which point it would be transferred to his presidential library foundation no later than 1 January 2029. The luxury gift from Qatar is expected to be announced next week during Trump’s three-day tour of the Middle East that includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, ABC reported. Trump toured the opulent plane in February while it was parked at the West Palm Beach international airport, ABC added. According to ABC’s sources, Trump’s attorney general Pam Bondi and his top White House lawyer David Warrington have pre-emptively concluded that it is “legally permissible” for Trump to accept the luxury gift and then transfer it over to his presidential library.
    • Yeah I’m confused how wearing baggier clothing wouldn’t just make him even smaller. I have no problem with his fashion at all. He’s a well put together man.
    • The problem is that foyer doesn't look like it has ANY connection to that garbage glitter trash living room at Bill and Hayley's. I have to disagree strongly with both of you on Andre's wardrobe. I like it -- a lot. I don't think anything about it is dated, but that he looks like a guy who cares about fashion. Andre is a short king, but I don't want to see him lost in baggy clothes or chunky sweaters.
