Members alwaysAMC Posted December 28, 2007 Members Share Posted December 28, 2007 Finally - they started this Dre storyline. I am convinced he has something to do with Angie/Jesse - because why would they suspend his storyline that started around 9/11...and finally pick it up at New Year's? Anyway - they need to just drop the other two bandmates - and leave it Dre/Colby/Sean. I don't understand why the band would continue to be friends and use him if he's just going to be angry and continue to drop gigs with them. Adam/Erica - of course was great as always. I love how she subtley talks trash about Krystal around him. Finally - I was wondering if they were going to mention Zoe/Zarf at all. It was nice to get an update on her. I was so not convinced with Amanda Baker's Babe today during the Bianca/Babe scenes. It just doesn't seem real or right. The dialogue around Bianca's visit and departure sure did hint at her returning for good very soon... Zendall/Aiden/Greenlee - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!

Members MikeGoldy Posted December 28, 2007 Members Share Posted December 28, 2007 I haven't warmed up to Amanda Baker at all as Babe, but strangely, liked her as Babe with Bianca. They felt like they had a history together. Adam and Erica are always great together; liked the Aiden, Kendall, Greenlee, Zach scenes. Tad and Krystal...yuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vanguardian Posted December 29, 2007 Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 I was wondering what happened to this "Dre" character, always appearing in the opening credits but appearing nowhere else! I think it's a safe bet that he is tied to Angie and Jesse (or Jacob?) somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yup, I've been thinking the same thing. Although I think I read that he has some kind of ties to Erica in a spoiler or something. We'll have to see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 Craptastic is all I can say. Guess that Greenlee redemption bus has YET to run out of gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 I agree. Baker in general is like a blank page when she is in a scene with anyone so seeing her play a character who has such history with Bianca is quite jarring to say the least. The two actresses have no chemistry with one another and Baker in general doesn't seem to even try to add effort into her scenes. Even when she is opposite Billy, Jacob, Eden, Bobbie or many others. She just seems to put the least effort into her scenes as possible. But regardless it didn't feel like Babe/Bianca. Alexa and Eden had so much chemistry that they sired a subset of fans that were begging for a Babianca pairing that at one point seemed to become a possiable viable alternative to BAM and Lianca. Sadly we got none of that with Baker, and we lost yet another piece of the Babe character as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 Oh it will just get worse Angie I am sure. But alas what can we expect when that's all we've gotten since she drove the car off the road anyway. Like why even do the plot point if all you are going to do is work 25 hours a day just to force feed a redemption? Its just not good soap opera. Amanda Baker just makes me indifferent to the Babe character. I sometimes think she is going to add something but it just always seems to fall flat. Alexa made you feel something (alot of the time it was negative) but that is loads better than indifferent.... She lacks chemistry with every performer. Just write the character off unless Alexa wants the role back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 Alexa had passion. She felt the character of Babe and was always in the moment of the scene, she never gave up and she gave as good as she got and even at times better. She was one of the better female performers and she got noticed because of it. She always had a personality and an "essence" of who the character was. She had a direction and even if some people were 'turned off' by her acting choices atleast she portrayed the character with a strength and viatality that is seeming lost in Bakers translation/transition of the role. I think someone once posted that Babe would become the "Courtney" of AMC, and I honestly can't help but agree. Babe has lost all the color, energy and qualities that once made her what she was. It really doesn't help that Baker has absolutely no chemistry with many of her pairings be it romantic, friendly or famial. Baker is playing a shapeless entity. This isn't Babe now matter how many of the citizens interact with her and call her such. When Alexa played the role you always got some direction and motivation of where she was coming from or how she felt even if it was stupid and poorly founded, atleast we understood why she did a certaint thing or what was going on in her head even with poor writing. But Baker doesn't even try and she is going into her fourth month in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 I don't think she's bad, she's just not at all interesting. She doesn't even do the smug thing to hate on - which I initially liked, but... I don't think the writing is helping. Well, I can't really say that, I've completely stopped watching the R/A/R/B story. I don't understand why they don't just use Stause and get rid of Babe for a while.

Members Adam Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 I completely agree Angela! Stause proved with her mini story in December taking on J.R and Adam that she can play a great villain/vixen, which IMO this show DESPERATELY needs.

Members Angela Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 I love Amanda and Adam together, a little too much . I wish the show could somehow put them into a more signifcant story together. Maybe through her marrying JR (who hopefully gets a haircut in 2008).

Members David_Vickers Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 AMC needs to go back to the drawing board with Babe. Fire Amanda Baker and get a better, suitable actress for the role. My fave is still Erin Hershey Presley(ex-Alison Barrington Kovich, PORT CHARLES). I also think Alicia Leigh Willis(ex-Courtney Matthews, GH) and Alexis Thorpe(ex-Cassie Brady, DAYS) might work in the role as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 I totally agree. Love Alexis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
