Great show on Friday. JESSE'S BACK!!

First of all I love how Opal has been making more appearances lately. It's so nice seeing backburned characters making small appearances every day or so. The scene with her bringing the picture of A/J to Frankie was such a nice touch.

Ahh It's so nice having Rebecca back. :wub:

I now officially do not like Amanda Baker as Babe. She's so dull and does not bring the same energy to the role that Alexa did.

The new hospital set looks so awesome. It's sleek and modern and the lighting crew did a great job with it.

I watched a couple episodes this week because of Angie -- Hubbard that is, not the Zen Fan :P -- and I have to admit, Rebecca has been doing a good job. She's paying respect to the work Sabine did by doing her best to commit to the Aidan pairing and the Zach friendship -- It's just too bad Aiden Turner has no charisma. I was all set to hate Becky's Greenlee thanks to the tasteless Sabine/Real Greenlee scandal, but Rebecca's been low key and not in your face like "Yeah, bitch! I'm back and taking this character into a complete 180 direction! HA!" which is what I thought she would do.

But I think certain "hate" has nothing to do with Becky or the Real Greenlee ads -- it has to do with the fact that we're still stuck in July and view Greenlee as... what is it that we hear every third post? A Baby Maiming Bitch, is it? Yeah. I think that's where the hate's stemming from.

I totally agree with you. It's either that or people have just dislike the character (pre-Sabine), which is perfectly fine. But If anyone is seriously holding a grudge against Rebecca or Greenlee because of the way Rebecca's return was promoted, then IMO that is a pretty lame reasoning. But that's already been discussed.

:wub:

I was not a fan of AMC during Jesse & Angie's heyday, but I think they are going to be great for the show now. As for Colin's Josh, he's the reason I started watching AMC regularly. I met him last December and he made me an even bigger fan. Hopefully they pair Josh with Julia. I love Sydney Penny too.

The hospital scenes, *shudders* Totally SabineLee there....so much for the REAL Greenlee

Oh please don't presume to say people hold "grudges" or anything.

Oh yep that's where it's coming from ::sarcasm::

And you know what? If I choose to continue to call her that, then I will. Just like people STILL call Babe a kidnapper, Tad a murderer/torturer and Josh an unaborted fetus

But at least Babe's crimes weren't completely whitewashed and rewritten to fit the recast(or a returning actress).......

It's MY perrogative if I dislike Rebecca, and that has to do with herself and nothing to do with Sabine or anyone. I don't care much for Alexa Havins either.......

WORD!

I'll go on the record as saying I suspect the "Crash" rewrite was a direct result of 1) ABCD's luring back RB, and 2) AMC's desire to pretend Sabine's tenure on the show, regardless of whether or not she had acquired any fans, had never happened. If Spike was going deaf anyway, then what was the point of the accident? Again, seems to me B&E might've had some plans for how the crash would've affected all those concerned (say what you will about them, but B&E do, for the most part, pay-off their stories) but all the backstage changes forced the two to scrap them.

No proof, mind you - except, the timing of the two (the rewrite, and the news of RB's return) seemed a little too coincidental for me.

Also, do I hate Rebecca Budig? No, I hate Greenlee. There's a difference. One, I don't know Ms. Budig; and two, she's too bland as an actress for me to be get that riled up with her. Greenlee, OTOH, is sometimes written as if she's the next Erica, but (IMO) she's far too one-dimensional for that.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.

    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
