Kendall has every right to be mad at Annie for what she did to Zach. Thats not the issue. Running to Greenlee to throw her and Ryan together is. Its none of her business and she should butt out. Now all of a sudden Kendall is a huge Ryan/Greenlee supporter, willing to prop them up and fight for their love? Give me a break. Kendall needs to sit her ass down

It's silly for Kendall to expect Greenlee to react any better to learning Ryan is still in love with her than she herself did. Heck, Kendall should have reminded Ryan of what crap he put both her & Greenlee through when he faked his death and slapped him a la Cher telling Nicholas Cage to "snap out of it" in the movie Moonstruck!

Say what now? Annie did not frame Zach at all. She told Jesse that truth that Zach beat Richie up. Period. End of story.

Kendall supporting Rylee is bad enough but her constant putdowns of Annie's mental health when both she & Greenlee have done worse than breaking and entering is beyond hypocritical and make her come off a shrill lunatic, imo.

I almost forgot to comment on the actual episode.

The Ryan/Tad scenes were great. It feels like it's been forever since two characters had a meaningful conversation that incorporated their histories as they actually played out onscreen.

Frankie/Randi had good dialogue; I just wish the show would recast her part with a better actress.

Jesse/Angie were good but I wish we had seen more of a love scene.

Kendall would sound like a shrill bitch, except for the fact that SHE'S RIGHT about Annie. On top of htat, Kendall and Greenlee have always been borderline nuts. Annie was a bastion of sanity until recently, so I imagine the contrast is rather startling when you start to pile up the behavior that the characters know about.

As for Rylee - IMO this isn't about Annie at all. Kendall has always been a huge Rylee cheerleader, since mid 2005. She loves Greenlee, she loves Ryan. She thinks (for whatever cracked reason) that they're destiny. She knows Ryan loves Greenlee; she thought that (until yesterday, anyway) that Greenlee had some unresolved feelings for Ryan. Why wouldn't she tell Greenlee?

And, FWIW, she chose not to tell Greenlee about Ryan's feelings because Greenlee is happy.

BTW, R Sinclair, I would bet that July is the month that Rebecca Budig overtakes AM in the airtime sweepstakes for this year. Kendall hasn't had a story this year other than the fallout from the ONS. Greenlee, OTOH, has taken over to an insane degree. She's in the spoilers every day - and on the rare day she's NOT on, everyone talks about her. She's had two near death experiences, countless chem tests with every man under 60, and episodes where she talks to a stuffed tiger. I'm waiting for the coma with the voiceofComa!Greenlee.

Gosh, what does that sound like? Oh thats right every single damn year since AM came onto the show. Kendull has taken this show hostage for years now.

The green overdose is just as bad, but whatever. At least kendull fans now have some kinda idea what its been like for years.

Agreed 100% with all of that.

Randi is jus tnot up to the material--I am impressed iwth a lot of the writing. They're actually kinda delving into facts liek Randi does have some sort of choice to be a prostitute, obviously there's something wrong with how she grew up or her past that keeps her thinking that way, Frankie's not an instant hero, etc. Back with Chuck/Donna, since it was the 70s, the story was much more "how do get Donna away from her evil pimp"--so I like they're adding a bit more of a realitic edge--so far--here. But Randi, that actress....

as for: "Kendall supporting Rylee is bad enough but her constant putdowns of Annie's mental health when both she & Greenlee have done worse than breaking and entering is beyond hypocritical and make her come off a shrill lunatic, imo."

Umm isn't that kinda what Kendall is? I actually love her, for the most part, but she's a nut--she's her mother's daughter, she has to get involved in everyone's business and story--and tell everyoen the news--but with an extra edge since she's always doubting herself--

No argument. I love Kendall and I think she was on too much! A couple of things, though:

1. Whenever Greenlee was on, she was just as dominant under the Frons regime. And when she wasn't, Babe was.

2. Switching the players on overkill doesn't solve the fundamental problem - AMC has no balance. But this year, especially, complaining about Kendall or even Zendall doesn't really fly for me, because in 2008 (and for more than half of 2007), she (and they) weren't the sole problem.

bc Kendall stopped being a Rylee cheerleader back in 2006. When Greenlee came back to town last year, wanting to be best friends with Kendall and take her place back as Ryan's wife, it was Kendall who stopped her from messing up Ryan's weddint to Annie. She went out of her way to lock her up and keep her from them. Throughout those weeks that followed, Kendall supported Ryan's decision to stay with Annie and she opposed Greenlee's interfering. She did not want to see them back together and let her opinion be known. She wasnt supportive of Greenlee interfering in Ryan/Annies relationship recently after Ryan got amnesia. This sudden push for Rylee love came out of nowhere as she has NOT been shown to be supportive of this relationship in years

    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate
