AMC: Thursday

Hmmm not bad but they're making Ave the new Babe. We're not sure WHY exactly she's so great, in fact, she's rather annoying but JR and the women of Fusion seem to believe that she is a singular talent, just fabulous but like, and because they keep saying so, I guess we're supposed to catch on an agree. They really need to tone her down. AMC needs to understand that SUBTLTY is the key to characterization and to making us care for a character and they also need to understand that twins don't have to be the polar opposites of one another: think Vicky/Marly AW, Frannie/Sabrina ATWT, even AMC's own Kitty/Kelly though i'm not sure anyone writing for AMC these days knows those names or why they're meaningful.

The only similarity I see with Babe and Ava is both have blonde hair....I mean when Babe came to town she pretty much had a thing with three guys at the same moment (married to Paul, faux married to JR, slept with Jamie). Ava has only really slept with Jonathan. Sure both are feisty and bitchy but it is not as if they are carbon copies.

That's just my opinion

I also love Kate Hall! She just writes such naturalistic dialogue and her scenes consistently draw me in even when I don't like the characters. For example, yesterday I actually watched all of Aidan & Greenlee's scenes.

I still ff'd through Ava and her men. I think it's fair to compare Ava to Babe since so many other characters have sung Ava's praises the way they used to do Babe's. Ava isn't that interesting a character and to have JR and the Fusion girls act like she's such a great model just comes across as phony.

Kendall brought me to tears for the second time this week.

I'm glad Zach is letting Adam have his house back since imo he never should have taken Adam's home away in the first place. Now I just hope B&E can come up with a good storyline where Adam gets revenge.

Annie's storyline keeps getting more interesting to me. I can't wait to find out who took the locket and how her brother is involved.

Ava slept with Sean a couple of times when she first came on the show. Then there was (and still is) Jonathan. She was all over Aiden for a while. I remember her making out with that skeevy drug dealer too and it's pretty obvious that it's only a matter of time before she sleeps with JR. Sorry, just not a fan of the character at all.

Kate Hall has done it again. I watched the episode in bed this morning since I have the day off. Very well written. THIS is the dialog that I enjoy.

David Canary did a fabulous job with his brief monologue after Adam's meeting with Zach.

Even SabineLee was tolerable because she had natural dialog that couldn't be ruined by her -- although she tried her best in the beginning. "Here, seagulls! GO NUTSSSSSSSSS!" And then when she started acting like she was having orgasms over that damn brick of cheese. "Mmmmmm... so long, perfectly aged gouda."

But, overall, I enjoyed the feel of this episode.

I don't mean that the character are smilar. I mean that the characters are written in similar styles: basically hailed by characters for no good reason. Babe was never as saintly as many of the characters seemed to ahve to kep reminding us and similarly Eva is no model with star power depite JR and Fusion's insistance that she is.

    • I'm fighting for my life on another board for my husband Brandon and I'll do it here too lmao
    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
