Is it supposed to be cute and endearing to see a woman baby talking at her wedding? It comes off as very immature to me. Hopefully the honeymoon will be long and off screen.

Wouldn't that be something.

"Colleen" conveniently had to get away from the wedding to take care of the grandma. Is this the beginning of her filming another movie? And does that mean that her BIG STORYLINE will have to take a break?

I didn't put in the spoiler tags because nobody really cares.

MarkH, I'm responding to your comment re: CF as Mac here. Yep, I do think that for some (and I include myself) it is that superficial. I have no problem with how CF plays Mac. The original Mac was just as dreary, monotone, and tedious. In this respect, CF is the perfect Mac. I find Mac looking older than Billy to be far more off putting and I am not alone. Her nickname on TWOP is Grand Mac which says it all. Fixing her look will put Mac on the right track with lots more fans.

From your fingertips to the stylists's ears . I don't think it will be that simple, actually. I think she could look perfect, and there is still going to be an acceptance problem at this point.

Part of it, as you note, may be a problem with the character. If the character is dreary, monotone and tedious...there may not be a tolerance for such a character these days.

LOL, yes, I think she left to finish that movie with Michael Damian. Either that, or she'd already exhausted her guarantee, and they didn't want to pay for another episode.

She was nothing but an extra at that wedding, anyway.

It's just ridiculous that CF looks as old as her mom but is supposed to be in age range as Billy and that lot. Is it really that hard to find some sort of makeup that covers those bags? Hell I know the character is supposed to be dreary and all that jazz, but god at this point I'd enjoy a total rewrite. The character sucks the life out of every scene she's in.

Oh yes, the bags are too noticeable. It still seems like she's adapting. It shouldn't take so long.

A tad early dont you think Alvin??

Btw...I've been wanting to ask you something Alvin.

Do you ever sleep?? You are here 24/7. Morning...Noon...Afternoon...Night...After Midnight...Early Morning....phew...LOL

Seriously, I think that are trying to fug her up. They finally got it right this last week ( Thursday US) with the straight hair and outfit. I like CF as Mac, but I also think this foced Mac and Billy storyline doesn't do her any justice. It's not worked since the start, but yet we keep seeing it.

Has the Mac bashing moved into next week's thread?

I don't see CF looks as the issue. Olivia's got that strange weave and Nina's pleasantly plump but I love 'em and I know I would be instantly hooked on any romance the show threw their way. The thing is I just don't care at all about CF"s Mac and I care even less about this so called great Billy/Mac romance. Hell, I was more invested in loony Esther & her con man because at least that provided some chuckles. I would even take another reviled actress -- Crystal Hunt on OLTL -- over CF in this role. That's how little I ask of the show. Better yet, just send the character of Mac away.

My suggestion to Maria is: start preparing now the Who killed Mac? mystery!

Sylph, you won't get your wish. Who would want to kill that sweet girl?

Sylph, you won't get your wish. Who would want to kill that sweet girl?

I know!

Someone just needs to make sure Mac never ever returns again! A total bore of a character, always has been!

Sylph, you won't get your wish. Who would want to kill that sweet girl?

And that is the story. Who would want to kill the boring bland Mac? Instead of having a million suspects because the victim is evil, this murder mystery would be different. Kind of like Twin Peaks, but without all that crazy [!@#$%^&*].

I posted this in last week's thread but this is my problem with CF as Mac:

That's because she's even more bland and lifeless than Mac should be. Mac was never "happy" (except with RK playing her, but that's another story) but she sure as hell wasn't this damn bland and boring. Mac should be a little hard around the edges because things that have happened to her in life has left her jaded, but to be void of ANY emotion isn't it. When Ash Bash was playing Mac she had her walls up but there were moments (when Kevin really needed help, with Kay) that she let those walls down and showed real emotion but CF just isn't doing it. Even when Mac found out that Billy, the love of her life isn't her cousin afterall, there was...NOTHING! That should affect even the hardest person in the world. To learn that you were robbed of the life you wanted and hoped for with the love of your life should have compelled CF to give us something. Anger, sadness, a moment of weakness but we got nothing but the same mundane expression from CF which was utter and sheer boredom and lifelessness. I wanted to like her, I really did and didn't want to automatically dislike her because she looked old as her mother or seemed to sleepwalk through her first few weeks but this lady just ain't cut out to be Mac.
