I've been a big Greenlee fan ever since she showed up in Pine Valley that summer of 1999 and surprised Scott fresh out of film school. Rebecca Budig & now Sabine Singh have both played this character brilliantly. Greenlee is the only reason why I watch AMC now and I am glad that she is back!

I have mixed feelings on this. I kind of think they should have let it be and then let Kendall eventually forgive Greenlee, for what was basically an impulsive mistake that had awful consequences. But then again, we did have to listen to how big bad evil Greenlee was trying to "get" Spike and Ian again for months <_<, which I never understood.

To me that's where the story went wrong. They tried to ramp up the drama by having Kendall terrified and going into over protective mode acting like Greenlee was an serial killer ready to pounce at any time. It would have been a much better story, if Kendall understood it was an accident and was disillusioned with her best friend, cut her out of her life forever, while Greenlee tried to make up for it. The further soaps go from simple human drama, the lower the ratings get.

I'm definitely with you on that one. Although I am glad that Greens is being redeemed in a sense, I don't like the fact that it was re-written like this. Having everyone slowly "forgive" her would have been a much more realistic approach and would probably have gone over better with the general AMC viewers. Now it just seems like some silly plot twist that is not being well received.

In regards to the evil Greenlee thing - ITA again. Kendall was always running around Pine Valley and whining to Zach (and vice-versa) about how evil Greens is and that she's going to go attack her family again! Greenlee was horrified at the ACCIDENT that she caused, she never planned to drive Spike off of a cliff intentionally. Kendall has every right to be angry with Greenlee, and the fact remains that it was Greenlee that hurt Spike (regardless of whether or not she planned it). Kendall was acting like Greenlee wanted to hurt Spike and her family, she didn't, all that happened was that Greenlee had a lapse of judgement and eventually realized how wrong it was, but it was too late. Kendall should know that Greenlee would never plan to hurt Spike like the way she did and being afraid of her like that is not realistic at all.

    • Holy [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] just finished Friday’s episode. Despite my very public issues with this show, this week was everything I look for in soap opera. I fast forwarded all of the performances so I got nothing but soapy goodness. Honestly when GH wants to, they still pull off a Guza type event and this week was proof of that.    I have to also shout out Ned getting some strong involvement, given Brook Lynn kept the secret from him, very happy about that.    Maurice has to retire ASAP. Every other major player affected by this story, did such great work. He was embarrassingly bad like he barely knew where he was for some of his scenes. Giving him a job just because of his mental health has to stip when he’s actively ruining scenes. So happy Ned got a point of view most of the episode. Michael showing up with his new face and his son running up to him in front of everyone is just perfect and a great cliffhanger.
    • Why was there such a turnover of writers/producers in that era? You would think they would be looking for stability but each new team that came in changed direction , seemingly for no good reason instead of tweaking what was there. A lot of the new characters had little chance to get established before they were gone. Surely some of them had potential to be used by subsequent regimes? And what about bringing back writers familiar with the show ? Would Ann Marcus, the Corringtons, Henry Slesar or Peggy O'Shea been approached or interested?
    • Billy Magnussen is in the live action Lilo & Stitch.
    • Damn! Here we go again: Daniel Brocklebank has been axed from his role of Billy Mayhew after 11 years and will leave in 2026! bruh.. yet they keep useless characters Like Kirk and Izzy or Gemma on the payroll and axe Billy who actually had storylines and Craig. Craig was a Officer and could’ve used on important Future storylines but nooo. Keep Gemma, Izzy and Kirk who have no use

    • Going back abit, the Search actors HATED the Nicholson, Braxton, Avila Mayer era. I was in NYC during that time and spent alot of time outside the studio and got to know some of the actors. They were miserable. Marcia McCabe, in particular absolutely hated the Sunny suicide story. She was very very vocal about it. 
    • Yes, it is a shame that the Gio cliffhanger wasn't continued from yesterday.
    • @Gatecrashers, No, that's not GA, although there is a resemblance...particularly with that hair.
    • Is this GA at 2:59?
