I wish Kerndall would do everyone a favor and shut up! She cant go one day without yapping about Annie. She really worked my nerves today

Good lord and now she's trying to interfere in Jack and Erica's lives. Hating on Carmen now? Kendall needs to get a LIFE

Loved Petey and Colby today. He looked really cute today. I think the hair is too dark though. I love their banter but dont want them to cross the line and become a couple. They are great where they are at now.

Loved that Kathy let Krystal hug her. I hope she opens up and tries to accept her

btw, I loved the way Annie was grilling Greenlee with her eyes

OMG - Kendall needs to STFU! She has gotten on my last nerve. It's one thing to obsess about hating Annie and getting Rylee together....but now she's moved on to trying to hook Carmen up with Adam or any single PV man just to get her away from Jack??? MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS FOR ONCE BITCH. Ugh!

I actually really enjoyed Ryan and the way he was dealing with Annie today - much more believable - and way easier to swallow than when he's an arrogant ass to his wife.

LOVED Petey Cortland vs. Adam Chandler today. Petey was looking really good today too!!!

I also think Pratt's stuff has started--or is in transition--I thought this Friday too and actuallyw as surprised his name wasn't on the credits--it felt different. I actually enjoyed today's ep--the Cathy story makes sense to me and so far has been well done (the fantasy sequence on Friday while corny was CLASSIC old school AMC whichalways had fantasy/dream sequences), the Petey/Colby stuff was really good, even the usual stuff (Annie, Kendall etc) seemed to be actually going somewhere for once with more believable reactions. Maybe I was just in a weird mood since no one else seemed to have liked it but...

I wasn't in a weird mood when I watched it and ITA that this is clearly a combination of Pratt and B&E. There has been more depth the past two episodes than B&E have given us in the past year.

The Pete/Colby/Adam scenes were classic AMC with character-based humor.

Kendall finally stopped just obsessing over Annie, Ryan & Greenlee and started caring about Erica again. It makes sense for her to see Carmen as a threat to Erica & Jack's happiness.

Annie even got some great lines about how Greenlee & Kendall treat her, for example: "Ryan, those two are obsessed with me. I am the bitch who took you away from them. I mean, they even insinuated that this baby isn't yours. That's how they look at me. How am I supposed to deal with that? I work with these people. I go to Vegas with them."

B&E were painting Annie as a one-sided psycho and I doubt that they would let her come out with such truths about Greenlee & Kendall. Ryan's attitude toward his wife has been kinder, too.

The Kathy story has been well done so far. Of course she has abandonment issues and a fear that her mother figure will leave again. I loved how Kathy pretended to accept Krystal but then ripped off the doll's head at the end. I can't wait to see where this is headed!

Ah, I'm glad you agree with me Steve--some McTavish issues aside, I think we largely share a common view of what works at AMC. I'm still not ready to be all accepting of Pratt but I have to say if this is his influence--and I don't see why it wouldn't be--then I'm optimistic. The balance of stories and dialogue just made a lot more sense--and yeah finally Annie actually got a lot out--stuff she shoulda said to Ryan months ago (ditto his reactions to her).

About Jack and Carmen--I've always liked Jack as a character but I didn't realize till today how boring he's been on AMC for a while now--it was great, even if it was minor, to see little scenes of him being kinda nervous asking Carmen out, etc.

I agree re Cathy (kinda rmeinds me of some things Bianca would do as a kid). I just hope they don't make it *too* "Bad Seed/demon child" but so far the balance seems right and makes sense (there's that term again--things on AMC making sense! Wow!). I also liked how they addressed the fact that Tad wasn't helping and he was adding to the problem by in a way wanting Cathy all to himself.

^^ Hey Eric. I liked Monday's episode, too.

...although I haven't watched AMC in a couple of years. So perhaps I'm not a good judge. As a result, still cannot get used to NuBabe.

Am I meant to hate Annie? Because I kind of liked her. Hell, I felt sorry for her. When she talked to Ryan of feeling like the outsider, of being ganged-up on, I was actually rooting for her. Greenlee and Kendall, on the other hand, bugged me in this episode with all their cutesy quips.

Ryan = jackass. So nothing's changed there. The boy still can't act his way out of a paper bag.

Um, TEAM Kate! KWAK was a major reason I tuned out of AMC in the first place, and seeing her sanctimoniously tell JR that she was wrong about him made me want to slap that baby-napping saint six ways to Sunday. Best part was seeing Kate twist the head off her KWAK doll. :lol: Especially with all the adults downstairs congratulating themselves on being such great role models.

OK, who is the actress who plays Carmen? She is so real and natural. Love her! Loved how she was totally thrown for a loop by Jack asking her to go on a date.

Petey is adorkable. :wub: I actually prefer his chem with Adam more than Amber (no, not that kind of chem). But I don't understand -- why didn't they show Palmer?

Carmen is natural and charming.

Palmer is still on the show but when he's on he's usually propped up in a chair like Opal. The actor was in poor health a while back, but rebounded and I suspect they just didn't want to call him in for one scene--i hope we see him with Petey (or even Opal and Petey) soon. The actor is nearly 89 years old....

    • 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.
