Her scenes haven't even aired yet and yet it's already a flop?! :huh: I don't think the way that Sabine was treated is going to affect how her return goes - since that's all offscreen drama. It's the stories that Rebecca is going to be given that is going to determine the potential success of her return. If B&E are writing it, then it probably will flop, but it is way too early to tell.

Back to Friday's show...

The Greenlee party was so weird and awkward and none of it seemed to make any sense. All of a sudden everybody decides to go celebrate that Greenlee got away with kidnapping Spike! It's like everybody forgot everything that happened and that the past doesn't matter anymore. I thought it was even weirder that Ryan was there - he hasn't had a part in the whole Greenlee/Aidan/Zach/Kendall BFF love-fest. I guess he's forgotten everything that happened too. :rolleyes:

Have you SEEN the backlash against Rebecca? Even alot of Rebecca fans are complaining about it.

Now AT is saying Rebecca is the "REAL GREENLEE" way to go asshat

WORD to the last part of your post. It's sickening, plus they seem to be making it seem like what Greenlee did is on par with a ONS, S-I-C-K-E-N-I-N-G

The whole 'party' was soo unbearable. It made NO sense! And Aidan acts soo guilty-- everytime someone mentions Kendall to him, he practically screams 'I'm guilty'. I do enjoy seeing him immersed in a SL, even one as dumb as this (I guess I get my kicks wherever I can on this show). I HATE KenLee. Kendall has always been groveling at Greenlee's feet. It's interesting that all this groveling begins just as RB comes back into the role. I wonder if that was a prerequisite for her return-- "put Greenlee firmly back on her pedestal and I'll come back". Just speculation, of course. I loved to hate RB's Greenlee, though. She played it very well.

Aiden and Kendall both have been SO bad at looking guilty. Kendall has always been the worst - you could say 1 word that might slightly remind her of something she's done bad/embarrasing and she'll flip the hell out and run her mouth/stutter. Aiden's looks are just as bad. They are the worst at screaming guilty.

Bitches don't know how to play it cool!

It would have been a flop anyway if we get the same writing we've been getting for the past six months. From where I am standing RB returning is huge... in the sense is she has alot of fans and they will of course come back to see her as Greenlee, then tune out just as fast when they see the horrific writing. So Sabine's PR disaster here for ABC I don't think in thye long run will make one bit of difference. JMO. If we get great writing, the same will be said....and this will be forgotten about.

Still the cold hard fact of the matter, Sabine had to go LOL.

Yuck!

They should've just left it as Rebecca Budig Returns to All My Children, and say no more. Insulting another performer's EIGHT MONTHS of grueling work in a thankless storyline -- no matter how different her version of the character was -- is just incredibly disrespectful to anyone. SabineLee was never my flavor when it came to portraying Greenlee, but to basically watch her work be so publicly dismissed as if she's the one who did the network dirty when it was the other way around...

Yuck!

And I've never had any use for Aiden Turner nor Aidan Devane. He should be thanking his lucky stars that he hasn't been fired. He's got zero charisma, has lacked chemistry with every leading lady EXCEPT for Sabine, and he and his character can disappear from the canvas for three and four weeks at a time "on a private investigation" and nobody even realizes he's gone until he comes back. He truly has been coasting on contract for the last five years.

    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.
