Members DRW50 Posted May 8, 2009 Members Share Posted May 8, 2009 Scott being the killer would provide brief hyperbolic drama they wouldn't have to follow up on, and ruin another legacy character, so it may be him. I just hope they write this better than Josh's blink and you'll miss it murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 I can see Scott being the killer. That's right up Pratt's alley to destroy core characters. It'll probably be Nurse Gayle, I doubt it will be a main character who does it This actually looks good, but then again stuff on this show has looked good before only to fall flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 I think the culprit will be Little Adam a la Jake and Grandma Kate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 How do you redeem someone from murdering STUART of all people? You don't. So the killer won't be important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 If it is Scott, and he's promptly sent away after murdering Stuart, well then...As the World Turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rsmith2k2 Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Good point. Nurse Gayle is a good throwaway killer, as is Francesca the weird Casino Manager who seems a little too interested in Zach. I think Scott is a good general guess early on. Lots of shock value, audience not deeply attached to the character now (though I know he is a legacy character). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Scott could be a character people are invested in, if AMC makes the effort, but they'd rather us just focus on "heroes" like Zach and Ryan. It's easier to just keep them as the designated screen hogs and not bother to actually write coherent stories. I also got some form e-mail from ABC blaring about THE MOST SHOCKING DEATH IN AMC HISTORY!! so I guess we're supposed to go get some cheap thrill out of Stuart being murdered. Why is it ABC only seems to get excited when they can yell at us about rape (OLTL) murder (AMC/GH), and child illness (AMC/GH)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Well... my partner and I are hoping that whatever bullet / knife ends up in the "shocking" murder victim, passes through Nurse Gayle first. Certainly - as monumental a sorry, pathetic kiss-ass she clearly is - there must be an angry co-worker out there who hates her. We hate her just by the look on her face. That character's audition breakdown must have read "a constant look that evokes disdain and disgust... People just KNOW she's entirely unlikeable." By the way, good casting, AMC!

Members GladGirl Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Adam pretending to be Stuart! How original! Will we see Adam pretending to be back-from-the-dead-Stuart pretending to be Adam? (Adam pretending to be Stuart pretending to be Adam is my favorite.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmaster Errol Posted May 10, 2009 Webmaster Share Posted May 10, 2009 Pratt is officially in the house. That promo has Melrose Place all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 OLTL has had all three (rape, murder, and child illness) in the past few months. Throw in mental illness, dead babies, and baby swith storylines, and we have ourselves a party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 It seems like such a waste to kill either Stuart or Adam because I highly doubt this will be well written, even beyond one month. I see him getting a similar half-assed exit to the one Y&R gave Brad and even that worked because Brad was always a supporting character. But Adam or Stuart? On Y&R that would be huge, there would be tons of returns, etc. I just don't see Pratt doing any of that. No getting Ellen Wheeler to send Stuart off into heaven as Ghost!Cindy, no Kelly Ripa, nothing. And regardless of what twin it is, this should be huge. I don't even watch AMC and I know how huge David Canary is. I don't know if AMC is as poorly written as it was with the previous two writing teams, but it just doesn't work at all. I don't understand it. I was back for Angie and Jesse, but now even their story is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
