NEWSFLASH!

Do they know how? Especially Tad. JR developed a drug habit under his care... Jamie slept with hookers in his bed and then proceeded kidnap babies with a trailer trash tramp... I think Tad needs to just go away, period.

No. That's what happens when TIIC bake their cake and eat the whole damn thing too! They want to give their favorites (actors or characters) all of these frontburner stories -- but in order for there to be any conflict, they have to pull stunts and shows and then play victim. Like it was with Babe. Frons and Megan had an enormous hard on for Babe and Alexa and wanted to give her all of this material, but the downside for the actress and character was that she basically had to set all of the crap that happened to her in motion. I mean, they wanted to have Josh and Babe sleep together. Fine. But they used the flimsiest excuse for Babe to cheat on JR with Josh, and then have her play victim. Same with Ryan. They wanted to give him something gritty and meaty to play so they turned him into a wife beating monster -- once that was done, he was hailed a hero?!?

The writers and executives aren't even trying anymore. As Genie Francis once said she was told by a higher up when she asked a question about a nonsensical story point, they think the audience is "too busy ironing" to notice.

I don't even think the characters have to be likable. They just have to be honest. Babe would have been much more interesting as a strumpet . Instead she was but we were "trained" to view her as a heroine. Frankly, I don't think new writers will help because there really aren't any interesting multi-faceted characters on AMC period. it's like, a nonsoap.

    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.

    • Lunacy has enough money to buy stylish clothes, hair/make-up, an apartment, a weapon and get custom, glossy posters targets. OK. 
    • For some reason I thought Sly had already passed. A true legend.
