No, I say every second since this show is just so wonderful! :wub:

We might get a quarter of a page view for every thread, but by god it will be worth it!

Now, lets not go all Y&R here.... as for the actual show as I said in my thread I absolutely loved Erica talking to Mona in the chapel. Susan Lucci was amazing..... I got a little teary eyed actually. I was so happy to see Opal put her hand on Erica at the end and console her.... that was a really nice touch.

As for everything else, Jake and Amanda were fun.... but nothing really happened. The whole heart valve drama I have no interest in..... and Krystal sold her baby...... big shock.... I know we've had the debate before, but I bet it was for a coupon to all you can eat rib night at the local trailer park dive I am sure she frequented....

I've been really enjoying AMC these days. Can we have a new thread after each commercial break?

There were several standout scenes for me today:

First off, as Adam said, Susan Lucci was excellent as Erica prayed to Mona for guidance and strength. I thought Alicia Minshew was really good later when Kendall & Ryan prayed for Ian, too.

JR's accusations against Adam were off, but I could see his point that Adam had bartered Little A when he wouldn't have done so with his own children. I loved the JR/Adam/Scott scenes after Dr. Chappell warned them about the device flaw. I really like how torn Scott seems and the comparison between his struggle and how sure JR was that they had to do what's right.

Krystal's tearful confession to Tad that she sold her daughter almost made me feel bad for her, but then I think about what she and the evil twin put Bianca through and I just can't care how much she suffers.

The light Jake/Amanda scenes were a welcome contrast to all the drama going on.

Althea bought Skye to pass off as Adam's, during a time when Adam had been away on business long enough for Althea to believably have had a child by him without him knowing. Adam found this out when Skye was an adult and kept quiet about it.

Has anyone on the show mentioned that Adam either did or plotted to sell Krystal's Baby Jenny because he was bitter that she turned out not to be his daughter, Charlotte? It was VERY recent history, so I can't imagine he's been blackmailing Krystal over her selling her baby and not being called a hypocrite when Adam just tried to sell one of hers too.

Erica rocked today

Well I guess now we know why Krystal had no problems standing by as Bianca and Babe's babies were switched and let Babe take a kid that wasnt hers. She can sell her own kid, then of course she'd have no shame keeping kids from other mothers

I just can't get behind this whole Marissa thing at all. I hate stories like this...it's like the ultimate re-write. Krystal's been on the show for over five years and there was never, ever, any inclination whatsoever that Babe might have had a twin out there somewhere. I just feel that if Krystal knew that she had another daughter out there somewhere, we would have seen something over the last five years. Alas, I guess it's one of those things that we're supposed to suspend belief for.

Calm down... the secret just came out of Krystal's mouth in this episode. Up until this point, only she and Adam knew about it. Of course she told Tad, so I totally doubt it won't be brought up. The only person who is not allowed to be reminded of the heinous crime he committed is Tad himself.

You act as if Adam and David get away without being reminded every single day of how horrible they are and each and every last thing they did to everyone in town. Sheesh! Give the secret a chance to get out before we start demanding Adam be called on his hypocrisy, because you know it will happen!

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
