AMC: Wednesday, 11/26

[Cheap21]

MCE is by far the MOST interesting and intriguiging actress on the show. Annie is THE reason to watch AMC. I am watching it first thing now when I come home and its all bc of her

I found those scenes today to be so sad. As an Annie fan, it broke my heart to see how low she's sunk. Truly hit rock bottom and I hope some people actually feel sorry for her bc I did

Since when was David this rich? He's a doctor and I know he got some from his father but this much money? Ever since he came back, he's been spending ALOT of money as if its nothing to him. $50 grand for a dance with Erica, half a million to Amanda to wear a dress, with a total of $6 million on the horizon and he's living in some large lavish castle. Not to mention the money he put forward for the hospital wing in Babe's name. They are writing him as if he's as rich as Adam Chandler now.

[Adam]

Yeah I kind of am a bit perplexed by that as well now that you mention it. I mean he was never poor, but a millionaire? I can't wait to watch this thing!

[dragonflies]

So Annie went crazy cause Ryan doesn't love her anymore?

If I didn't love Davanda and Adam/Erica I could definitely love David/Erica, they are so pretty, and VI and SL have great chemistry

[Kylie]

I don't want D&E together, but they are always pretty. I'm sure they were fabulous today.

more like she lost the stable, happy family life that she found and built with Ryan. Its something she never really had before. Her parents favored Ritchie over her growing up, even though he was the bad seed that couldnt do wrong. She was hated and her father disowned her. She thought she had found happiness with Terry until she realizes what a disgusting piece of filth he was and ran to protect Emma from him. Then she met Ryan. He was this white knight that took her in, came to her rescue and loved her unconditionally. For the time he seemed like her perfect match and they were in sync with one and another. Even with Greenlee trying to tear them apart, the love that they had was strong to withstand that.

Then Ritchie came to town and the world that she had started to shake. Ritchie represented what she had left behind. The family that rejected her, the mistakes she had made and the past she had moved on from. He was a threat to her new family and she tried to get rid of him and slowly we saw her start to unravel in the process. Her relationship with Ryan remained strong despite this though.

And then Ryan lost his memory and that was the main catalyst for her going completely crazy. Ryan was horrible. One minute he was in love with Annie and talking about having a new baby with her and the next he doesnt even remember her and he's chasing after Kendall. Thats quite a blow. And when he was done chasing Kendall, he was all about loving Greenlee, who initially provoked him bc she was jealous he didnt remember her. Annie lost her patience bc Greenlee simply would not go away despite being told repeatedly to leave them alone. Ryan didnt help matters when he started lying to Annie, making her think that he remembered and loved her, started using her for sex, all while lusting for Greenlee.

Her mental health deteriorated and it was quite obvious. Instead of trying to get her help, people made fun of her. She was provoked and ridiculed. Kendall was the biggest perpetrator of that. As horrible and despicable as the things she did, it was all about preserving her family. In her twisted mind, she had logic for everything even though it made little to no rational sense. We just saw her kidnap Emma bc she thought it would cause Ryan to realized that he loved her and that they could once again be a family. For the first time in months, she looked genuinly happy when it seemed as if she had accomplished that. She clung onto Ryan bc she wanted to keep her family together. She wanted Emma to have both her parents together and in love , just like they were when they were their happiest before Greenlee and Ritchie tried to ruin it. If yo go back this past year, all her actions stem from this desperate need of hers. Im definetly not condoning anything she has done at all, and Ive more than expressed my disapproval of her actions, but I can understand the motivation behind them.

Annie's breakdown works bc it all makes sense. If you look at it piece, by piece, not so much but taken everything into consideration and being aware of the bigger picture, yeah it does. Its pretty sad the lengths that she has gone through. The girl needed help like 6 months ago and I cant beleive she was allowed to just walk around town doing all this stuff when she wasnt even trying to hide her insanity. Ryan should have paid more attention to her and sent her up to Oak Haven. Hopefully she can go now and get the help she so desperately needs

[Steve]

Wow!!!!!

I loved so many parts of this episode: Erica and Greenlee's snark, Jesse trying to let Angie know he's putting her first, the reactions to David winning the dance bid (Tad, Adam, Jack and even Bianca looked pissed), and of course Annie's wedding and the cliffhanger ending.

Monday seems so far away!

[Adam]

What an episode. I don't know what can be said that hasn't already LOL. Melissa Claire Egan is just amazing, and I really think it added something not to see Erica and Annie confront one another. What a cliffhanger.

Annie went crazy because of months and months of watching everything she knew slowly slip away from her and losing all control over her own life....

[detroitpiston]

ITA Cheap! I know some found the Annie scenes funny, but I just felt bad for her. Like ya said, she's truly hit rock bottom. But hopefully now she'll finally get the help she needs.

Thank you!

[Adam]

Yes Cheap. Great analysis of Annie's character, you make everything so clear I truly hope they can bring her back from this.

[Jonathan]

That was the best line!

[Jonathan]

That bitch stabbed La Kane!

[Kylie]

That's something I've always wondered. David was always written as having had money, just not this much. I figure a lot of it came from his father's estate when he died, and we know from what Vanessa said that Charles was pretty wealthy. Plus, David hasn't done to bad for himself either. I don't see him anywhere near as rich as Adam, but I think he's got some money to throw around.

I actually think he got off easy with only shelling out $50,000 for that dance. Erica practically flew down the stairs, and then closed the bidding really fast, LOL, so no one else could get a bid in. I would have liked to see them bidding higher on her. She's worth it.

[Jonathan]

Yup, she is. Adam and Jackson are such cheapskates.

[Kylie]

I know. I realize that Erica kinda put the kabosh on the bidding, but really, I expected ONE of them to at least try to outbid him. I was like, "50k, that's the best we can do boys? Hello, it's Erica Kane."

LOL, I probably would have bid higher to dance with her.

[R Sinclair]

David's always been written to be wealthy. He's the cardiosurgeon of ALL cardiosurgeons. Top in his field. I don't see why he wouldn't be able to at least have a couple million stashed in several accounts across the globe.

As for the cliffhanger, it's a CLIFFHANGER! The whole point was wondering who Annie had stabbed. Seeing the confrontation would've taken the suspense out of the cliffhanger. You can tell we're in a instant gratification, leave nothing to the imagination generation if we can't even appreciate a little bit of suspense. I don't read spoilers anymore, basically because when I quit watching last year, I got out of the habit. So I've been enjoying all of these twists and turns in the stories. I didn't know that Rebecca was white. I didn't know that Kendall was gonna be in another of her famous Komas. I didn't know Brot was alive. I didn't know that Annie was going to stab Erica. Somebody in the tower is doing something right, because all fall long, AMC threads have been 2 and 3 pages long every day... And it's been ages since that happened.
