Members juniorz1 Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 Certainly not me. I thought JKJ would be in Primetime and the rest would be long forgotten, sans the occasional Disney movie for Storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 ALL MY CHILDREN Alex and Anna are twins!Bianca is gay!And that Libidozone-we want some! There were plenty of big stories and big payoffs in 2000.AMC has a cast to die for,and this year,many of them did their best work.Though some stories were clunkers,for the most part,life in Pine Valley was engaging and interesting again,causing us to question the reliability of the Nielson ratings system. Josh Duhamel's Leo has chemistry with everyone,including the new pet on the canvas,Happy. David went fromErica to Dixie.Gillian went from Ryan to Jake to Ryan to Jake to Ryan.Adam had Liza,then Arlene,then Liza again. The only Pine Valley residentwho had areally bad year was Edmund.He lost his girl to his brother ,then lost his mind. HITS Newcomer-Eden Riegel Storyline-Bianca comes home,then comes out. Couple-Leo and Greenlee Breakout Performance-Josh Duhamel Most Shocking Twist-Eliot killed Laura Triangle-Dimitri/Alex/Edmund Surprising wedding-Adam and Arlene Guilty Pleasure-David/Dixie MISS Storyline-Stuart's disappearance. Couple-Jake and Gillian Show Me the Story-Hayley and Mateo Show Us the Reason-Erica and David OTHER Most Bad Mothers Per Capita Part We're Glad We Were Not Invited To-Bianca's party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 2000 was SOO schizo for AMC It was the year Agnes Nixon, after coming back very late 1999, started off basically writing full time and then soon was sharing writing duties with Elizabeth Page and then Jean Passanante. By the Summer or maybe earlier it seemed we'd have stories liek the amazingly well done Bianca stuff--which Agnes clearly did--some great character stuff that was reminescent of old AMC like Marian's social climbing desires to get invited to a party with the Queen and Adam (it sounds lame but was wonderful social comedy) and then disasters like libidizone. I still find it bizarre that Agnes allowed that story while she was co HW (she came to the show of course to put it back on track after Megan McT's disastrous second stint. Nixon created Greenlee and Leon and all that in 99 I think originally she thought Greenlee would be to Becca kinda be what Erica was to super good girl Tara. Unfortunately in that respect Nixon was wrong--the time for angelic heroines like Tara/Becca had passed I think--but Greenlee and Leo became pretyt great. Even Anna/Alex started under Nixon and had some potential--although as much as I LOVE the actress I felt she played both roles the same. Under passanante with Dogboy (her son? nephew?) etc it became a confusing mess of awfulness--made worse becuase of Dmitri's firing. Ironically Agnes couldn;'t handle writing a soap full time and when she left and Passanate took over the show IMHo became even somehow worse than it was under MCTavish in 97-99. very sad, yet Agnes gave us enough great great stuff there to make me oevrall pleased with the year...

Members JackPeyton Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 Me too. But Farah is pretty much the star of OLTL; Kirsten is half of one of GH's most fan faved couples; Jason gets an episode a month on GH, lol; Nadia & Jay are both starring on days - in separate storylines no less; and Kyle is currently the star of B&B.

Members Manny Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 True. I guess it all depends on when you start watching the show. Who knows, maybe if I tried watching DAYS now, I would like it.. lol But if it's still heavily Sami's DAYS, then I don't think so.. lol And yeah, it's amazing how all of DAYS 2000 Teens are still on soaps. Unlike Y&R 2000 Teens. And I loved Y&R teens much more... David Lago, Ash Bashiom, David Tom, Alexis Thorpe... even Lauren W.... and the only one I didn't like (Thad L.) is still there...

Members Aback Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm sorry, I meant that 2001 was the last good year for me [and yeah, Matt/Tricia ROCKED. And there is no doubt in my mind that it was all Bill Bell's doing. I don't believe for a moment that KA would be capable of creating such storylines] 2002 started good, but when Ed Scott stepped down, the show started to get unrecognizable for me.

Members Manny Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah, 2002. was def less fun than 2000/2001. But 2002. is when I was LOVING Days... Sami and Austin's Vegas wedding, Nicole and Austin's short friendship or whatever you wanna call it, Baby Switch ending, Stefano's will.. Brash and Cwikly were great. Too bad they couldn't stay.

Members JackPeyton Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 My fave days scene ever is austin leaving sami at the alter. i wish i could find a youtube clip of her faling to the floor in her amazing elvis-esq wedding dress. it was so over the top, it was far too much, yet it was so 100% sami brady and days of our lives. that ish was perfection. it was also the climax of years and years and years - at least 5 - of her lies and schemes coming out like they never had before. girl lost EVERYTHING.

Members Manny Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 I know. Finally the ENTIRE truth was out. Oh and I remember when photos of Sami in a wedding dress came out... She was so HOT! I loved her look. Too bad I despise Sami now and I couldn't care less what happens to her now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 yup. she was hot. Hogan's run at days really made me hate sami. However now shes back to amazingness so i love her yet again. Perfect mix of adult sami and scheming sami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah? Is she crying? Cause back when I was watching, there couldn't be an episode with Sami in it, in which she wasn't crying at least once. It was unwatchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 Nope, shes not. Shes had a few tears, but nothing more than the normal women on soaps. And when she does now its not all over the top. Its rather reserved, like Will lashed out at her and she had tears and was crying, but wasnt sobbing. She has shed a few over her baby drama, but thats about it. Its really nice. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New characters like Simon,Rose and Henry fit in so seamlessly,it's like we've known them for years,while established characters like Lily,holden and Julia transformed before our eyes.
