Members CassieFan Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 I loved AMC's Monday episode. Dixie is back, thank God. But, it's obvious that this is Adam's hallucination, not the real Dixie's ghost. Still, I like her, but I agree with "DevotedtoAMC", stop with the annoying giggling. KWAK annoys me. And, yes, I really like bitch Annie. Thank God, we need a bitch in Pine Valley, and Annie, now, has a good material for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Graciecat Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 I actually don't have an issue with evil Annie. And while I agree that it's out of character for her, I do think that it makes sense given her history. We've already seen, with what she did to Richie, that she's willing to do something wrong in order to protect her family. Which, again, makes sense, as she's had to defend herself and those she loves against psychos her whole life (first Richie, then her husband). Plus, evil!Annie is pretty fun to watch. And I adore ghost Dixie! She's hilarious, and she's got a really great dynamic going with Adam. I also totally love the fact that she's probably a hallucination, and not a ghost. First, it means Cady can come back. And I love her! But also, it reinforces the idea that Adam has a conscience, and deep down, feels real guilt about keeping Kate away from Tad. And a morally gray Adam is the best kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 I agree with everything. EvilAnnie is pretty funny. I loved the look on her face when the Japanese guys loved their proposal! I'm enjoying "Ghost" Dixie as well, since I love Dixie. Cady did tell the fans to give this story a chance, maybe the fact that Dixie is just a hallucination is what she meant by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 Uh how exactly is it "obvious"? There is NOTHING at all that suggests she is a hallucination. Why would Adam hallucinate stuff like thinking Tad has been through hell? If it's a hallucuination why are Kate's adoption papers included?

Members Steve Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 I agree with both of you, too! Annie is much more interesting as a villain and her whining to Ryan last year about how evil Richie was to her as a kid (breaking her dolls and other normal older brother behavior) suggested to me then that Annie might have a screw loose. Dixie's cackling and toying with Adam just doesn't feel like what the real Dixie would do so I hope this is just a hallucination. I want her back alive ASAP!

Members R Sinclair Posted May 7, 2008 Members Share Posted May 7, 2008 Annie needed some spice and some additional color to her character. MCE is a good actress who is clearly capable of playing different shades to a character. Annie, under McTavish, was boring and neutralized because she was brought into the Rendall mix as a Greenlee place holder because of MCE's physical similarities to Becky. I think TIIC figured if the Annie character looked like Greenlee, then that's all that mattered. But the Annie character couldn't act like Greenlee because, obviously, there's only one Real Greenlee , and yet, the Annie character couldn't be developed into her own person beyond "Yes, Ryan. Okay, Ryan. You're a good man, Ryan," because a stronger, fleshed out character might ultimately change the dynamic between Annie and Ryan as well. So if they kept her bland and neutral, then fine. You wouldn't be able to say "Annie wouldn't put up with this from Ryan because, blah blah blah..." or "Annie wouldn't fall in love with Ryan because of yadda yadda yadda..." because we had NO IDEA who Annie was or what Annie was about or where Annie came from aside from the fact that she was just yet another helpless, innocent woman in peril who married a pedophile and needed her and her daughter to be rescued by big strong men! It wasn't until the introduction of SabineLee and the introduction of Richie (where are people getting this "Ritchie" from? ) and the removal of McTavish that the writers started making decisions about this character. The Annie character started becoming more developed, stronger, intriguing... She was actually allowed to stop being neutral and shift into different gears... rather than "I'll just act anyway that helps me prop Ryan." I think any scheming and plotting Annie is doing is a helluva lot better than "Oh, okay. I will just sit at home and watch Emma and Spike, Ryan, while you and the other men solve ALL my problems FOR me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
