I only want adam and erica if they actually fall for each other, I doubt that will happen since they were married twice and it didn't happen so why would it happen now. :lol: I think erica's best pairing was with dimitri though, they had the chemistry, great acting, great looking, and they could handle a storyline outside of each other.

I don't see any chemistry and I was excited about this when the news first came out about MVP coming to AMC.

But whether they work or not AMC will probably go forward with the pairing. Since when do they care if there is chemistry or not? Plus they probably promised MVP that pairing.

As for Jack, isn't WW's contract up like right now?

I'm not sure what I think of her chemistry with Adam. It's definitely better then her and Jack's chemistry IMO, and wipes the floor with her and Sam's chemistry, but I don't think they have couple chemistry. They're much better and frenimes, then together romantically.

I still think her best chemistry was with Vincent and that it won't be topped or recreated. But I'd like her to find someone she has better chemistry with then these two duds.

I think that TPTB see Walt Willey as Lucci's long-term acting partner. They love working together. As someone above said, she and Canary are great as frienemies and confidantes, but that's about it. Plus, and I've said it before, they need to pair Canary with a demographically desirable romantic interest in order to keep Adam a viable character. That's why they went with Eakes over Barr. With MVP tanking, they'll probably put Erica back with Jack, and once again have their conflict arise out of their kids' stories. I know Lucci is an icon, but I don't think anyone at ABC will be quick to hire a 55/60-ish year old actor, even as her love interest. It will be interesting to see if Pratt comes up with something decent for her, besides the been-there-done-that.

^ well Vincent is about 13 or 14 year younger then her and he was her love interest. Granted that was almost 10 years ago, and David wasn't that much younger then Erica. I just think they could cast a younger man for Erica and if the chemistry is right and the story was told in a decent way, I think it could work.

I wouldn't necessarily blame B&E for that. There could be a hundred reasons independent of the writing why the character didn't work out. No chemistry with Lucci, stiff, uncomfortable actor, negative fan reaction. I'm not one to defend those two, but in this case, I don't think the writing was responsible for Woods' failure.

He used to say they'd have to carry him off the show a pine box, but I could actually see him walking. And he's pretty much said as much over the past two years.

I still remember a very candid radio interview he did in 2006 where he was cursing about Frons and what was happening to AMC (and Frons is/was a friend of his!).

I hope you're right but it seems like his story is just really getting started now. He's on almost every second day, they brought his dad on for a cameo, and medianet pictures indicate they're going to do more with the Sam/Dre relationship.

Would I write off MVP/Samuel? At this point, no. But I would consider moving him around the canvas a bit, and see if he can't be utilized elsewhere.

      Ewww....I love MKA, but GL wasted her returns. I do think she sleeps with Ross, or gets darn close.   So...against my better judgment, I slid into '86 to find Vanessa confessing to Henry about being pregnant...and it's NOT William Roerick, DAMN IT. It's some damn temp Henry. But then it gets weirder because I'm listening in German, and it's the same voice fooling me.

      I hope the writers understand how pathetic and stupid Willow looks in order to continue this madness with Drew. Willow has become a laughingstock. Lucky didn't say goodbye to Aidan? Pathetic!!!

      I really enjoyed the first half of season 9. It was dark but Emma, Angela, Lance and Richard were front and center.  Pilar and Frank were finally interesting.  Charley, Michael and Genele came in and caused a lot of drama.  It was even sexier. I also liked the new into theme music. Then the second half of the season went to hell.

      Something that I love about Dani is that despite her issues with Bill, she's always encouraged her daughters to have a relationship with him. I also believe that she does have a great amount of love for him which is why she is so hurt that he's sick. I've loved them including her in his recovery. It feels real and their chemistry is just insane so any chance for more of it is welcomed. That would be the perfect karma. Kat needs to learn boundaries and not be so impulsive, but I still feel like the Duprees are going to clear Leslie. How? I don't know, but that's what I think is going to happen. I feel like she'll get some kind of blackmail over them which will cause them to clear the slate. Of course the show never goes where you expect so I'm sure they'll do something different but I'm definitely curious how she will manage this.

      The story has been glossed over and taken over by the lunacy redux. I wonder if they noticed how poorly the ratings are with the Liam story and went all lunacy.

      @soapfan770Thank you so much for posting that! I know the final season of Falcon Crest is controversial but I thought it was a fantastic swing that mostly worked. The only thing that would've made it better is if they had more money which hopefully could've kept Emma full season. I feel like that was her strongest arc since season one and I wish she had remained so we could've seen her as a mother. I also wish they had more Angela but that was obviously out of their control. As different as it was, I felt season 9 to be very true to the initial gothic roots of the series.

      You know what? I was just thinking of Klymaxx the day before you typed this and chuckled. I do love how it keeps twisting and turning, getting juicier (Eva hiding everything, knowing her mama did it only for Kat to get the goods, thinking it's Eva...not helped by her hope that it IS Eva) rather than contrived.    This. AM's acting as Eva is just so reminiscent of SMG's version of Kendall on AMC for me. She's totally going to go on to bigger and better things. She has so much nuances in her scenes.    Yeah, I really like that they played the beat of Ty wondering if Jessica was using him. I wouldn't have minded that, but we have done it before so I guess it is nice to see it is not a trick. I do wonder where it will go from here.   Thank you for the tip on Chelesa. I'm already intrigued on the stuff with Madison so Hmmmm.

      Leslie is going to get off because of Kat.

      If a soap actor or behind the scenes figure was roasted at any point in time, who would you have at the main table? This topic came about when I imagined a Friends episode (Joey, of course, would bomb at roasting). The Roast of Deidre Hall, circa 1997 Roastmaster: Drake Hogestyn Roasters: Jed Allan, Wayne Northrop, Joseph Mascolo, Eileen Davidson, Christie Clark, Alison Sweeney, Ken Corday, James E. Reilly, Andrea Hall, Jane Elliot, James Reynolds, Shannen Doherty, Wilford Brimley, and Frances Reid.
