Ryan/Opal!

Make it happen Pratt!

Heels, puddle, splat! So go power trip on somebody your own size, bitchcakes, because this isn't a bitchtatorship. Open bed, insert slut, you skanky little tramp. Don't make me call the tabs and narc you out. If you shut me down, they'll be calling the coroner to cut you open.

*puts hands over ears* "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I won't believe it! I won't believe that this is actual dialogue, that went through the scripting, editing, shooting and broadcasting process. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. No, No, No."

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I won't believe it! I won't believe that this is actual dialogue, that went through the scripting, editing, shooting and broadcasting process. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. No, No, No."

Let me guess -- Courtney Bugler?

LOL... allow me to explain...

No. Amanda L. Beall. The Tom Casiello of AMC -- people were believing her to be the savior of All My Children. There were actually people who thought that since she "knows how to write Zendall" that she was the best script writer on staff. You know -- better than Karen Lewis, Jeff Beldner and Michelle Patrick who had been with the show for two decades. Nooooooo! Amanda L. Beall, who had only been with the show for about 3 years, was the best writer for this show because she wrote good Zendall scenes. Double

All the stuff in the passage in that post isn't actual dialogue written by Beall. However, the words/phrases in bold are actual things spoken in AMC scripts (Heels, puddle, splat is from Beall's first Y&R script) that were credited to be written by ALB. I was just joking with Khan about Beallisms... using as many as I could in a post -- which wasn't easy because they're all sh!t.

No. Amanda L. Beall.

No, I knew it was ALB. You don't hear words like, "Open bed, insert slut," from just any dialogue writer, lol. But, I thought YRBB, in their response, was quoting "the Bugler".

And now that the joke is sufficiently dead? Off to the corner, I slink.

Really Tad. You can remember Barfoey living at the Mansion but not Colby?!...You're the greatest PI ever!! And not to mention that JR tried to kill Babe a couple of times! Moron.

Tad has been ruined beyond repair.

Debbie Morgan can break your heart and Beth Ehlers when given the chance can do the same. Angie and Taylor are great, strong women and I love seeing them onscreen.

No, lol, I made that crap up all by myself!

Amen..... its hard to believe once upon a time he was one of my favourite characters..... now everytime I see him I just groan.....

So sounds like Friday was pretty decent.... guess I will have to find it online.... I didn't watch a single show last week..... was never home at 1pm and wasn't compelled to put a DVD in the recorder

I'm loving all the use of Opal, and I'm glad that Pratt has taken a liking to the character. The writer claimed she loved the "classic" AMC characters, like Opal, but you sure wouldn't know it by watching the show during her tenure - Opal was seen once or twice a month, if that;there were even a few periods when she wasn't seen for months (It would've made sense to throw Jill more airtime once Dixie returned, but example, but Opal only had a few scenes with her). Ridiculous. She was also a blip on the B&E radar.

During McTavish's 1998-1999 stint as headwriter, Opal was used frequently, and had some of her best material in many years with the Adrian story and the breakup with Palmer (I was not a fan of that couple, although I hated the Nazi art storyline). I never knew why she was used so rarely during McTavish's last return.

Adam - this wasn't a week to miss - things finally got really good! I can't believe you, my fellow loyal friend, would miss any AMC!!!

I know, its shameful behavior on my part. I will have lots of catching up to do.

I agree about Debbie Morgan wholeheartedly, but I haven't been impressed with BEh since she came to AMC...perhaps "Harley" (her character on Guiding Light) was a one shot wonder...
