Members dragonflies Posted November 26, 2008 Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 SID-December 15th issue Interview with Tamara Braun-she talks about her storyline and her character and why she agreed to another daytime role after she'd pretty much made up her mind not to do another after playing Ava on Days. She says that it's a groundbreaking character and a groundbreaking story, because two people of the same sex have never been married in daytime. They've never had a child together in daytime. That was the only reason she came back. ******************************* In Depth Story Mackenzie Westmore is joining AMC as Dr. Reily Sinclair The In Depth Story: The psychiatrist will show up on Friday, December 12, as part of Annie's life at Oakhaven Mental Hospital-and in light of how nutty Ryan's wife has become lately, we're thinking Westmore's taping schedule will be packed. **************************** Will Pop forgive Reese? Bianca and Reese's idyllic romance may hit a little turbulence in the near future when Frank Runyeon comes to town as Reese's dad, Forrest Williams. "Her parents had a hard time accepting that she is gay, and she's had a hard time dealing with being so shunned," says Tamara Braun. Could pop be coming to town to forgive and forget? "Who knows?" ***************** AMC casting director Judy Blye Wilson recently won her 10th consecutive Artios Award from the Casting Society of America for excellence in casting a daytime drama. Her competition included ATWT, Days of Our Lives, GH and GL ***************** Set Your DVR Kendall's Last Chance! With both his wife and mother-in-law fighting for their lives, Zach takes his frustrations out on Reese on Tuesday, December 2, only to turn around and share a secret with her on Thursday, December 4. As Ryan and Greenlee fight off temptation on Monday, December 8, things at Wildwind take a very interesting turn on Tuesday, December 9. Bianca begins to suspect her girlfriend is keeping something under wraps on Wednesday, December 10, and sure enough, Reese spends Thursday, December 11, working with Zach to make sure their secret remains a secret. As Reese deals with a most unexpected surprise on Friday, December 12, Zach goes to David and demands that he perform a miracle for Kendall! ****************** In Depth Preview Kendall's Dying! All My Children's Zach can't stand life without Kendall, and this week he brings her home to be with her family. But will life outside the treatment facility be too much for the still-comatose Mrs. Slater? Could Zach's need to have his wife near ultimately be the cause of her demise? Zach Loses Hope! The week begins as Zach receives an autographed hockey shirt that Kendall arranged for long before the tornadoes left her unconscious. Touched, Zach talks with Reese about how well his wife knows him. Normally so self-assured, he is on unfamiliar ground as he marvels at how JR can continue on knowing that Babe will never return to him. In Zach's desolation, he even envies young Chandler's strength. His roiling emotions and fears for the future come to an angry head and explode on Reese.......just as Bianca walks in to hear her brother-in-law's tirade! Later, when they're out of his earshot, Gabrielle's mom kiss, and Reese sadly acknowledges that Kendall probably won't recover. Kendall Comes Home! Binks has a heart-to-heart with Zach during which they agree to bring Kendall home from Canada. But Zach's adament about one thing: His wife will live! He, Bianca and Reese welcome the curely-haired hottie back to Pine Valley and set up a schedule so one of them is with her all the time. Reese sets a festive atmosphere by decorating the house for Christmas, but twinkling lights can't brighten up what David tells Zach: Kendall, who's got a weak heart and is still in a coma, only has months to live! Unable to bear this burden alone, a devastated Zach confides in Reese but then swears her to secrecy. Could this season be Kendall's last? ********************* Remote Patrol Daddy Issues Time and again, Bianca and Zach have proven their loyalty to and love for Kendall. So it makes no sense that either-let alone both-would keep her in the dark regarding his agreeing to hand over his, um, sample(yes, it's another AMC storyline revolving around "genetic material"!) or her resulting pregnancy. Yes, we heard Binks' explanation that it had been a difficult pregnancy, but that falls flat when two sisters who are as tight as Kendall and Bianca. We expect more of Zach and Bianca-and of the writers, who obviously forgot that it's character-driven plots that fans crave. ************* Can Angie & Jesse's marriage survive? 98% Of Course! 2% Of Course Not! **************** In Depth Interview with Susan Lucci, she talks about her time on DWTS and her theories about what's next for Erica on AMC She said she loves the sparring that Brooke & Erica did, and says that Brooke is the one that the audience has always loved to see fighting with Erica. She goes on to say how she loved the catfights their characters had. She's been saying for awhile that Erica and Krystal could have some major conflicts. In regards to leading men, the possibility of reuniting with ex-flame David: she says she's always loved working with Vincent, she hopes they write more for them. **************** Best & Worst of 2008 Shining Moment Other than your own, what do you think was your show's best storyline this year? Bobbie Eakes: "I loved the Angie & Jesse wedding and tragedy. The special effects on AMC have been awesome." Fan Faves 1. Angie & Jesse Reunite 2. A Twister Hits Pine Valley 3. Rebecca Budig Returns as Greenlee Must-See TV What performer or storyline from another show really impressed you this year? Melissa Claire Egan: "The Black and White Ball GH did was pretty great. The whole death of Emily was so sad. I remember yelling at the TV being like, 'Nikolas, nooo! Don't do that!" Personal Best What was the highlight of the year for you, storyline wise? Ricky Paull Goldin: "I think it's the story where the guy came in to Debbi and Darnell's wedding and kidnapped her and took her on a chopper, and we shot stuff like it was a $200 million feature. It's that kind of integrity and striving for better quality that makes me proud to be here. The plans for the future-of actually using green screen technology in almost every show-that's where we're going. So that was fun, to be part of that storyline. Not because I was in that, but because it was so intense" Shooting Star What peformance on your show do you think was a standout this year? Alicia Minshew: "Debbi and Darnell. They had all of these great scenes, and you just sort of fell in love with the couple all over again. I never knew them when they were on the first time, so that was sort of my first experience with really seeing them interact as the super couple they are. I just remember wanting to cry for them!" Top 5 of 2008 Least-Believable Plot Twist: It's a tie. We had a really hard time going along with Josh stealing money from the casino, especially after we'd seen him give Zach so much support with baby Ian. But Bianca's complete silence about being pregnant-and Zach not telling Kendall that he'd donated sperm-rang rather hollow for these tight-knit characters, which is always the result of putting plot above characterization. Best Case For Selling Off the Chandler Mansion Tunnels: We make the plea every year, so we don't have much hope. But when David Hayward is livin in your walls for weeks on end and you don't even know, maybe it's time to head to Home Depot, no? Best Moment That Lived Up to Its Hype: With Alicia Keys' "Like You'll Never See Me Again" on an endless loop as Jesse & Angie gazed longingly into each other's eyes, the Hubbards' trackside reunion was everything we wanted it to be. Most Likely To Have Her Health Insurance Carrier Drop Her: Kendall was in so many life-and-death predicaments this year(complete with extended hospital stays) that she'll be lucky if anyone agrees to cover the trauma-prone mom Saddest Exit: Though at press time it hadn't aired yet, we're already misting up over Myrtle's parting from Pine Valley. Whether it was flirting with Zach or setting Erica straight, Ms. Fargate knew what she was doing. Eileen, we miss you! ************** Stand Out Scene: Amanda Draws David In! ************* The Next Issue of SID: Thorsten Kaye weighs in on the big secret Zach is keeping from Kendall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 Ah, so Susan does like working with Vincent, funny, I thought I was making that one up. At any rate, she needs to cut a girl some slack and focus on Adam and Erica. LOL Mackenzie Westmore on AMC, interesting. Her acting came in such ebs and flows on Passions. It'll definitely be interesting to see how she handles herself with the AMC cast. ETA: Thanks Zendallfan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rsmith2k2 Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 Wow, Zendallfan, thanks very much for the spoilers! I was watching Passions during Simone's story on Passions and I have to be honest and say Mac wasn't very impressive to me at that time. I realize she has a big fan base but it seemed like she was out of it sometimes. I hope it was like Adam mentioned below about Passions bent toward the bizzare, out-there writing.

Members Adam Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 See the thing is with Passions, all the acting came off so forced and all over the place, mainly due to the campy writing for that show. It will be interesting to see her playing such a serious role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapFan82 Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 That's a good point. I was never impressed by most of the actors on Passions, so it will be interesting to see McKenzie acting in a different environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 There were time I saw a really good actress in MW, so I think she has the talent and the capability. Hopefully some better writing will bring her into her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeanne Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 i know mckenzie will be awesome on amc she was on passions for the stuff they wrote for her many actress could not have handled it the pit for 8 months giving birth in that being buried alive thrown in the ocean bound and gagged put in mental ward with shock treatments that was so hard to watch but she did so great she got cheated out of a emmy for that work drug cartel hit men after her her own dad and brother always trying to kill her the list goes on what poor sheridan went thru i think amc fans will be pleasantly surprised with her performance i also think dr sinclair will be related to someone in pine valley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
