I'm still not sure why they had to bring Jamie Luner in as Liza. I still can't quite see her as Liza. The main connection to Liza is her relationship with Colby, and that's the weakest part of her return. Everything else, the sparring with Kendall and Erica, the interaction with Zach, wanting Amanda's baby, could have been a new character which still would have suited Jamie's strengths (the sparring).

Bobbie's one of the most underrated actresses around. People didn't seem to get that on B&B, I'm glad AMC gives her more of a showcase.

I'd love to have seen her in a scene with Dorothy Lyman's Opal.

I'm loving AMC these days. Not sure where everyone else has gone, but life does generally get busier in the summer for me and I end up watching AMC the next morning frequently.

I think Luner has been great as Liza. I disagree that a new character could have had her storyline since Liza's history with David and his part in keeping the secret of Colby's paternity will undoubtedly play into her faux pregnancy more in the future. I think that's probably why Pratt chose to let Colby find out now. Also, some new woman wouldn't fit as well into the "Who Shot Stuart?" plot.

Erica/Jack/Liza was heaven for me. Could this eventually turn into a comedic quadrangle with Adam?

Bobbie & Vincent showed why their both nominated for Emmys! I hate to see a woman being so manhandled but I couldn't look away.

I'm not sure if it was meant to be funny, but I laughed when Ryan suggested Kendall remarry Zach.

Vincent Irizarry was simply subperb!! You felt David's pain and what he's going through. I hate that David is feeling so despondent over someone like Krystal. She's so not worth it. He should be celebrating that he's finally free of her with champagne and caviar instead of drowning his sorrows with whiskey and junk food.

Oh, AMEN. Let the Martins suffer her trifling-yet-holier-than-thou ass.

I know that on paper and, like, logically, Luner as a Liza recast has been an epic fail. Epically WRONG. But man, I LOVE her as WTFLiza. I choose to see it as Luner playing a character who just happens to be called Liza. Too bad Colby doesn't have her "mom's" vibrancy.

WTFLiza :lol: I love it! And yeah, I totally agree. However, a few times I have seen some of Marcy's character mannerisms show through. So my guess is Liza Luner lied about watching tapes ;)

I am loving the WTFLiza and Erica rivalry. Makes so much more sense than a Kendall/WTFLiza rivalry.

A baby-selling, baby-stealing, baby-swapping, blow job-giving, extra marital affair having skanky ass ho should HARDLY be some type of judge and jury over David's misdeeds. David was right. All of her songs of praise over Tad's beautiful love is laughable. SHE was the one who kept running to David because Tad wasn't enough for her. Tad's the one who dragged her over to David and handed her off to him as she were some cheap blow up doll he was finished with. Tad's the one who basically used Jenny to taunt her.

Now, it's as if since Tad's taken a bullet to the head and has become even MORE annoying, he starts sniffing around Krystal again and now she's all "Squeeeeee" and like the typical disloyal whore she is, makes up excuses as to why she's the victim in this marriage and bolts.

I hate Rebecca Taylor scripts because the characters always JUMP to conclusions. Marissa McSmiley's all " :lol: Hi, Scott! David was drunk, and going on about how Adam should be dead and not Stuart. I THINK MY FATHER KILLED YOUR FATHER!" So, am I supposed to believe that anyone who has said Adam should've been dead and not Stuart is going to be accused of murder? Can we be permitted to, oh, I dunno, hear her explain HOW she came up with that conclusion and what could've possibly sold Scott? I hate it when dialogue doesn't take the proper beats.

I saw that scene. As a Y&R viewer, it struck me how sad I was that VI was never allowed to bring his A-game to my show. Here we have this basically despicable man, but I felt sorry for him because of what he was able to evoke in that scene. The villain had FEELINGS. The villain had PENETRABLE EMOTIONS. The villain was capable of LOVE.

If his "David Chow" had been able to play any of that, I think VI would still be rocking on Y&R today. Total squander. VI is a great actor, IMO. AMC really gained something when he came back.

It's kind of how I feel about Tamara Braun as Reese. She was never allowed to bring it like I know she can. While I never favored her version of General Hospital's Carly character, I knew she had a decent bag of tricks that she could use if given the chance as Reese.

Vincent is just an excellent and committed actor. Point blank, period. I've always enjoyed him and I've always enjoyed David. I like the dynamic of David being honest about his dishonesty... unlike the others in Hypocrisy House who are dishonest about their honesty.

Adam has been keeping Liza from communicating with Colby bc he kept intercepting her letters. What is this the 1800s? She couldnt contact her via email or leave messages on her phone? She couldnt give her letters to Marion or Stuart to give to Colby?

    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.

Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!  
    • Thanks! Looking forward to reading the rest!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
