Members LoyaltoAMC Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 He must be on vacation. I can't believe they wouldn't use him for a funeral episode unless he wasn't available. Although he did have his salary drastically reduced, according to Agnes, so maybe his guarantees for the year have been used up. The Martins' absence was the only negative part of the episode.

Members R Sinclair Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 I held it together until Agnes appeared out of nowhere. Then the tears flowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 The boarding house was boarded up because it was hit by the tornadoes. Erica mentioned this in passing a few weeks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 20, 2008 Administrator Share Posted December 20, 2008 Kudos to Jeff Beldner! It was only fitting to have the writer with the most history with AMC write this episode. It was a wonderful tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 The best episode this year. Too bad Adam, Ruth and Joe were not shown, as well as Rae and Skye (I did like the mention however)...BTW, I always like when they mention old characters....like Les Baxter, Jenny, Tara Martin, Kelly Tyler ecc. My eyes welled up when Bianca started to sing and Erica was shown heart broken. The best of La Lucci. Myrtle, Eileen you will be missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Desertrose Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 What a poignant episode...OMG. I was teary at the first flashbacks but held it together until I saw Kelly...after that...waterworks! I am so glad they waited and didn't try to rush something together...this was so beautifully done. Reminded me what I loved about this show from day 1. I still remember being in my sophomore year of college and rushing back from class to watch the first episode. So many stories and "friends" over the years...but Eileen H was my favorite...somehow she reminded me of my Mom. Feisty but always a "lady". EH, you are missed. Oh yeah, TK's poem was so beautiful & perfect...as was the song Eden sang. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 Okay, on a lighter note, was I the only one who got spooked when that woman put Myrtle's picture on the easel and Erica crossed over to it, and just as she started to lovingly stroke Myrtle's face, Eden's voice belted out "ONCE UPON A TIIIIIIIME...!" I mean, what with all the posthumous gifts, crystal ball flashbacks and carnie paraphernalia, I honestly thought for a split second it was a touch-activated singing photograph.

Members Quent Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 I was watching the show , when a friend of mine who has only a passing familiarity with AMC joined me. It wasn't long before I heard giggles, then laughing, then uproarious laughing. These were all during dramatic scenes , by the way. I asked her what's up. She said the woman being lauded seemed fine, but she had never seen such amateur acting in all her life. She singled out Erica and Bianca as the worst. I suddenly realized I had to agree with her. If I saw those two do their phony hug one more time, I was going to scream. The whole episode was an embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 Wow if this episode was an embarrassment then the rest of the year of all soaps is really bad then. To me this stands up there as one of the best episodes of soap operas this year or many other years. I don't see Lucci or Riegel any worse actors than I have seen in primetime and they definitely are not the worst actors in daytime. I guess to each his own and that is what makes the world go around. But personally there are many many many other episodes that I would call an embarrassment but not this one. I would be proud to show this to anyone who hasn't watched soaps.

Members NYC123 Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 No Offense but looking back at all your posts, you have trashed AMC. Why bother watching it if you think its that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted December 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 I agree. I still don't get why primetime is a standard against daytime is always compared. I just don't get it. There have been some shitty actors and actresses in primetime who still get constant Emmy nods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zenarmour Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 Regardless what you think of the acting (and I loved the episode) please remember that the actors have also lost a close friend. It's not easy to put aside feelings. They were saying goodbye to Myrtle Fargate and Eileen Herlie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
