I actually thought it was better than just having some random person involved. Its refreshing that someone (Pratt) actually went back into the history of Annie and brought someone back that is tied to her. Di was never going to be a long term character again. I thought it furthered the story IMO.

I do have to say I laughed at how Annie tried to run out of the jail cell....lol

Angie is amazing. She has such a big heart and Im really proud of her for offering to take Rebecca in her home

I hate how Amanda is being written to be an idiot. David is completely using her and she's blindly doing everything he says and is coming across weak. I wish she were more of an equal and I wish she had more confidence and strength in herself. She needs to be a villainess, not a puppet.

and it makes Annie responsible for the death of someone who called her a friend. I wish Di had stayed away from this mess and I wish Annie wasnt doing this stupid plan to begin with. She's coming across too extreme and stupid with the way things are falling apart

bc she realized that Annie was setting her up to take the fall for the kidnapping.

Oh Annie - you're totally crazy now...I still love her, but I'm sorta upset that she not only frames her best friend, but also kills her. It was fine when she was killing evil people, or having thoughts of killing people that were a threat to her, but actually killing her once best friend. I don't know. I'll accept it and just enjoy her crazy ways as long as she's with AMC --- which after what she does next, I'm not so sure she'll be around much longer. :(

At first, I loved Taylor and Jake...and BE and RPG. Now, I find them both annoying as hell. I'm so over this storyline.

Love Angie and the Rebecca storyline!

Di was a plot device and nothing more. They could have brought in a brother of Terry's(her ex) or something, but they brought back a character only to waste her, and for what? To show us Annie is insane, uh yeah we already knew that

Since when does Jake have a license to be a physical therapist :huh:

For me, you're mostly right, as I really loved Kelli Giddish...but Di was Dixie's sister, and Dixie and her family will always have a special piece of my heart...so Dixie's sister dying like this pains me a little.

Also, I think if it were only a nanny, or some character other than her old best friend from even before their Pine Valley days, then it wouldn't seem so insane or bad.

This is also the perfect opportunity to kill off Aiden - I don't know why they aren't!

This has to one of the most pointless deaths I've seen in a while. I thought Di was a good character when she was on the show. I don't see what's the point of bringing back for two days as a recast just to kill her off. It's not like the plot required that the person Annie left Emma with had to be Di.

LOL! Maria was also a physical therapist on the side. I remember her telling Edmund (when he was in a wheelchair), that she put herself through medical school by working as a physical therapist! :lol:

I told my physical therapist friend about this and she through a fit. She spent 3 years at USC studying physical therapy and the soaps make it seem like it's like getting a job at McDonalds. :P

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
