(re Aiden) Love ya and love Mr Turner but I think that's more cuz of the women... Amanda, and Di to a lesser extent (who was my fave with Aiden) worked/work with nearly everyone yet they never explore it further. I actually didn't mind hiim with "Maureen" but that was ages back and was such a botched story...

Yeah what a waste that was. They never really had a "story" though. It was just like Aidan and Anita and Aidan and Erin. Pair up two characters on the backburner to make people think they are being uitlized. Didn't fly. The firing of Kelli Gissih, except for the Cady McClain debalce, was the worst casting move on this show in many years. Why didn't this girl get a LEADING STORY. She carried All My Children in 2005 when the show was a friggin piece of crap.

I still am bitter. Di and Josh could have worked, I just miss my beloved Di :(

Yes Kelli did carry the show. It started to fall apart after the baby switch was over but when she came on as Di(xie), she was a breath of fresh air and the reason to watch. She was frontburner and had lead actress potential. Its a shame what they did with her

IMO, what hurt Kelli Giddish's viability (sp?) was the insinuation that she was, indeed, Dixie. I don't know if Megan McTavish ever intended to make that "stick," but once there was viewer outcry over it, and the show quickly revealed she wasn't, Di seemed to fade, for lack of a better word, into the proverbial woodwork.

I agree Cheap (see we disagree on Sam but we agree on Kelli ;))....I really did like the "Is Di Dixie?" story since it was significant in 2005 and affected so many characters. When she confessed to being Di and the whole scheme, it was like I could feel JR's heart just break all over again.

I was hoping the real Dixie's return would be just as thrilling and gripping but, of course, it tanked.

    • 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.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
    • It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.      
    • I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).
    • I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.     
    • I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.
    • Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?
