AMC Episode Count: February/2004

2006 was a horse race between Havins' Babe and Minshews' Kendell they both had strong storylines and shockingly enough even when Kendell was in a COMA she was still the most featured character on the show. It wasn't until Zendell's haitus in October that Babe started to accumulate enough episodes to usurp Kendell Hart Slaters reign of domination (at that point it was 4 consecutive years at no.1, she totals up to 5 since her debut). Babe's triangle between Josh and JR was the storyline that gave her the ammunition to be no.1 in 2006 that triangle was written heavily and was also the main sweeps story in Nov.

But one could also argue that the main reason Babe was given such heavy coverage was due to the abscence of Greenlee. They needed a starlet to fill that viod and the one that was up was emmy nominated actress Alexa Havins. They needed to fill something in and they chose Alexa.

However even though Havins' won the 2006 spot airtime wise it was by a very slim margin (a grand total of one episode).

Yep as much as I did like most of McTavish's third stint, I did not really care for how she seemed to put Lianca on the backburner and not really write for them. It seemed as if she felt forced to put them together for some episodes but overall it was pretty much scrapped. I liked Lianca but I also liked BAM

I agree, IMO that was one of AMC's worst triangles, I found nothing likeable or rootable about it in any way. Love triangles are supposed to make you want to root for both characters to win, not for two parts of the triangle to be pushed off a cliff, and the other part of the triangle to be the one to do it ;)

Brooke/Adam/Krystal had the set up to be an amazing love triangle. MMT just dropped the ball after Christmas 2004. Actually, I'll give her credit through until July 2005, because the Dragon story set up and all the returning verterans at the time had be very optimistic. I think the Mardi Gras Ballw as her last hoorah.

Eh, the tail end of the Ry/Ken/Greens triangle was beyond lame, especially when Kendall became an obsessive shrew who was too stupid to realize that she was wasting her time with Ryan and Greenlee and that she could have done better than the both of them. I enjoyed it mainly in 2003, when the romantic feelings were more subtle. It was right before I jumped onto the I-Really-Really-Can-Not-Stand-the-Sound-of-Kendall-Hart's-Stinking-Voice train, of which I have been a proud member for over 4 years now. But I loved her and Ryan in the 2003 Christmas episode, and that's the way I liked their triangle. It was obvious that Ryan and Kendall had more of a shot and that Greenlee was using Ryan as some sort of interim between grossgrossgross Juan Pablo and someone else. But [!@#$%^&*], McTavish managed to ruin her own damn story.

    • Vicky's best was Ryan. Heck they even got together in heaven. Jake's best was Paulina. Carter & Thomasina.  Sally & Catlin. Marley and ?

    • I'm trying to think whether AW had anything remotely resembling that once Steve was killed off and Alice left a widow. So many young love stories were wrapped up either by marrying and leaving town or marrying and killing off one party. Maybe they acted in the final year as if Vicky and Jake had been that couple all along, but they both had better other mates along the way and also Jake was actively hostile to Vicky at too many points without any subtext of caring about her.

      ️, so all the more time to watch/rewatch these past three scorching episodes. What were some of your favorite moments? @beyondthegatescbs            
    • Beth Ehlers thanked Beth Chamberlain by name from the mic saying she was THE BEST person to be in a triangle with.  Generally speaking I loved Judi's Beth but then also strongly liked BethC's Beth but I did not like the whole Lorelei stage!!! 
    • Yep, it seemed temporary, lasted 3-5 minutes, then BACK! Yea.  Thanks. 
    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
