Members LeClerc Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 The hints of Tad & Mia I think only started a couple of weeks before Megan's work started airing again. I would never even have thought anything of the scenes (which I don't even remember now) except Amelia Heinle had come out a few weeks before and said that, now that Edmund & Mia was done, they were going to pair her with another established male on the show.

Members AMCGio83 Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think I would take AMC 2003 over AMC 20006-08, especially like Summer of '06 when Madden was in the Box, Colby was annoying, Saint Babe was at her "best." AMC 03 was bad but it would be a few years before we would lose well, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCGio83 Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think Culliton is mostly reguarded as a failure though I liked much of 2002 especially the Summer of 02. Leo and Greens were a great couple as were Anna and David and there seemed to be a lot of interation between the characters. Proteus was long BUT it featured lots of characters. We'd even see Marian and Myrtle some of the time. Then Proteus started to get really confusing Brooke started to lie about Maureen and mostly the show went to [!@#$%^&*].

Members DeeeDee Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 The Everyone Is Related To Leo show was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yeah that makes sense to me--and that was pre Frons interference. Wasn't his era on GH pretty well received? and he did have a big history as staff writer on AMC, but... my view of his time on AMC is kidna fuzzy cuz that was the year I spent six months in Europe, and then did a big move to Montreal, so I missed a lot of stuff though I tired to keep track. Maybe that's why Proteus makes so little sense to me, although I suspect it wouldn't anyway. Wasn't Proteus before Frankie Stone? Anyway... He really did do a LOT of revisonist history (i'd say in his one year on the show more than McTavish even) and dropped characters which strikes me as just sloppy--but I agree about the humour and definetly agree it was a step up from Passanante As for Rayfield writing the Tad based Fan February episode--it was largely brilliant. Maybe they shoudl call him back once a year for comic episodes that's it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 HAHAH and confusing--again, that seemed to be a CUlliton specialty. Was that lawyer who turned out to be Kendall's half brother (or did he?) under CUlliton? Trey Stone or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 Ben Shepherd aka James "Trey" Kenyon III. I still don't get why Kendall was pissed that Reggie turned him in for FRAMING HER for the arson that burned down Erica's house (which I miss...that set was fabulous).

Members leevo64 Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 The Richard Culliton era was schizophrenic. It had some good potential - like Simone and her dad, Kendall's ORIGINAL story (which was supposed to be a mystery that would bring Del back to town), and Mary Smythe. But then you got Proteus, the extended du Pres family, Maggie/Bianca back and forth of doom, no-purpose Tim Dillon, horrible person Frankie, and Leo's death.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 I loved and miss Mary Smythe. Greenlee needs her back, and AMC really needs an over the top older woman on the show now (the way OLTL has Dorian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 28, 2008 Members Share Posted June 28, 2008 And just wanted to point out - the thread in Cancelled Soaps folder, Where the Heart Is and writer M. DePriest has become quite a thread on different eras in AMC's writing history, oddly enough, startign with the brief time DePriest wrote for Felicia Minei Behr in the late 80s--so check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
