Erica must decide whether to have a Josh's heart transplanted into Kendall. Josh's last moments w/ Erica are emotional - he declares his love for both Kendall & Erica. Erica is pressured by David & by Zach to consent to the transfer, & even though Josh has been declared brain dead, Erica will be forever haunted by her decision. After a successful transplant surgery, Erica allows Jack to bring her home where (according to Susan Lucci) they share some well-written & layered scenes. Susan Lucci shares that Thorsten Kaye believes that Zach purposely shot Josh, & that is how he played the scenes.

Colin Egglesfield exits when Josh dies on 1/19.

Jenna DiMartini (Corinna) & Chris Henry (Ren) appear on 1/ 22. Colby is upset w/ their insensitive reaction to Brot.

AMC is casting the role of Hillary, a 20-something manipulative woman w/ an agenda. She will cross paths w/ JR.

Laura Koffman's stint as the dying Rebecca will soon come to an end.

Amanda is pregnant. She tells JR that he is the father, & tells David that the baby isn't his. Amanda makes an appointment to have an abortion, but changes her mind. Amanda decides to give the baby up for adoption. JR doesn't want the baby given up for adoption, but promises to respect Amanda's decision.

Tk shares that he is the one who asked that the autographed framed Red Wings jersey given to him by fans (the Zen Zone) be incorporated into the s/l as a gift from Kendall to Zach.

Ryan will face off w/ Dr. Sinclair...Tad reaches his breaking point w/ Krystal...Zach & Reese are caught in an awkward moment. Tamara Braun insists that Reese & Zach are just close friends.

AMC's tribute to Eileen Herlie (Myrtle) was editor's choice.

David turns the tables on Angie...JR learns about Amanda's pregnancy...Reese helps Zach accept the truth about his wife's condition...

A viewer loves the range of emotions that Eden Riegal & Tamara Braun deliver as Bianca & Reese...a viewer misses Kendall/Zen...

wow those Erica scenes sound heartbreaking. I look forward to those most of all.

I dread the arguments over Zach acting as if he shot Josh on purpose. I am glad that Lucci said Thorsten chose to act them that way. But somehow Pratt will still get blamed for it.

And how can they miss Kendall. She is still seen a lot. I mean it is almost as if she hasn't been gone. We still see her more than many of the other characters.

Pratt is to blame for it LOL. He writes(and I use that word loosely) this ish. It's bad when actors have to play a scene a certain way. Sure actors can interpret scenes how they want, but they shouldn't do the writers jobs for them.

Wow once again TB has to come out and EXPLAIN actions of characters.

That is just beyond bad writing

Well then why is thorsten doing Pratt's job then. If Pratt didn't write the scene as if Zach did it on purpose why is Thorsten acting it that way.

Sounds like the problem is with Thorsten and not with Pratt.

Pratt did his job by obviously leaving it to the viewers interpretation if Zach did it on purpose or not and let the viewers choose. Thorsten interpreted the scene and chose to act it that way. So it sounds like he chose to overstep his bounds and do Pratt's job.

Often scenes are better left to let the viewer made the choice himself.

Wow once again TB has to come out and EXPLAIN actions of characters.

like shes the first person to ever do so.

god. actors have been doing this for decades. its called an interview. outlets contact the actor to get a statement for a write up they are doing.

If Zendell fans are doing the same thing to her that they did to Cady, I can imagine that she felt she had to make some kind of statement to get them off her back.

I remember Cady's blog entries indicated she was getting quite a bit of hate mail from Zendell fans.

One last comment on the interpretation of the scene. I would rather have the scene left open to interpretation. And I feel that is probably what Pratt wanted too.

The possibilities for discussion and stuff are better if fans can debate whether or not Zach did it on purpose or not. It is a way to provoke viewer discussion and interpretation and to allow some mystery in the situation.

Also later if it is left open it can be open to more storyline possibilities as well.

I guess we should blame Lucci then, since she's the one who shared Kaye's thoughts on the matter. The scene probably is left open for interpretation, but in Kaye's mind, he chose to play it as an intentional shooting, rather than as one motivated by the robbery.

At least Erica gets final say and some scenes to say goodbye to Josh. I hate it. But Erica as a character needs it and it's nice that Pratt gave her those scenes. I feel bad for her, but at the same time, I just want the whole thing over with, so we get closer to Pratt and Co. trying to pretend that Josh never happened. Blech for Jerica, I hope Pratt is smarter then to take Erica back there. She's finally free of her POD, no need to put her back.

Amanda is either stupid as hell, or Pratt is fudging the time line to make JR a real candidate for daddy. I go for the latter. I've thought from the start they'd make JR a real candidate for daddy.

I really hope Susan rocks the hell out of her scenes.

Poor Rebecca. I was hoping she'd stay and hook up with either Tad or Jack.

With Rebecca leaving I wonder if Tad is actually going to get this "romance" Pratt talked about. She was the obvious choice. Now that I think about he said that Tad was owed a grand romance, not that he would actually give him one.

The Rebecca thing has been a complete non-story. Now I guess we'll see Angie and Jesse even less than we already do.

I thought the Rebecca story would last longer but I guess with all the bitching about it they decided to end it shorter.

I just hope we continue to see Angie fight David at the hospital.

I just hope Jesse/Angie don't turn into one of the fan based driven couples who are not allowed to ahve any drama in their lives.

Not that Emmys matter, I'm not one of those people A-TALL, but we all know how well Susan does with the stuff involving Erica's children. I'm not confident that the material will be there, but wow, what potential such scenes could have! I mean, if you just stop and think about Josh's sad sad life, it could bring tears to your eyes.

Pratt is to blame for it LOL. He writes(and I use that word loosely) this ish.

WTF? Did he write it or did he not write it? How can you use the word "writes" loosely? Honestly, I want to know. He either wrote it or he didn't write it.

I'm just pleased that ever-so-creative "ish" is back. Even Pratt "the hack" wouldn't touch that ball-o-lameness.

Poor Erica

These two insensitive idiots How would they feel if they had to decide between 2 of their children to see which one you allow to die.

:wub: JERICA. WHOO

Hmm. So does Amanda waffle between Jake and David? Works for me. I think David has far more chemistry with Amanda than KWAK and Jake more with her than Taylor.

Amanda is pregnant. She tells JR that he is the father, & tells David that the baby isn't his. Amanda makes an appointment to have an abortion, but changes her mind. Amanda decides to give the baby up for adoption. JR doesn't want the baby given up for adoption, but promises to respect Amanda's decision.

Let's see. Amanda preggers with David's kid and what if JR/Adam hide that from him? Sweet revenge?
