I don't get how that's hypocritical. How is he saying one thing and doing another?

That's a lame comparison. Not to mention insulting. Something didn't just "go wrong" in David's life. His wife walked out on him and now he's learned he lost a FOURTH child. David has shown he can drink responsibly countless times before. When's the last time JR drank responsi-- wait, he's an alcoholic! So whenever he drinks he stays in the bottle for weeks.

David deserves what he gets.

Amanda has every right to keep David from her childs life. yeah i get it, tis his child too, she slept with, etc.... but whatever. He is an awful evil person whos ets out to destroy peoples lives for fun.

I missed this episode. Reads like I ought to just skip it and move on to today's.

:wub:

No AMC, I didn't want another preachifying, Babe clone (Now! With No Baby-Stealing Baggage!). No, I didn't want another/yet the same Carey screwing up JR's life. Set him free. Give her to recently missing Scott, better yet leave town. I hold no hope, however.

I am a big David fan but he's had several bouts of drunkenness now. Some of those moments have lead to him shaking and hurting women. Even acknowledging his profound losses (and that most anyone would pull one under the same circumstances), he's taken on some serious drinking (more event-based...just an observation). I think to get so out-of-control and physically abusive to women is completely out-of-character for Dr. Delish. Considering David's behavior over a period of time now, however I believe he has become hypocrite about drinking.

I am fast redlining on plot, plot, plot, plot..... I am entertained some days but find I don't care about or bother getting attached to many of the stories because there's rarely a point to any of them. The plots aren't doing a lot of favors for the likeability of AMC's cast of characters either, imo.

As long as it's also requirement for Cameron to undergo hefty acting lessons -- so he can legitimately act out Ryan reacting to being called out on his crap... instead of a simple :mellow:. I mean, damn! Even Alicia Minshew gets all shifty-eyed and starts gulping and shaking like a nervous chihuahua whenever someone calls Kendall out on something.

And to sum up my view on David's hypocrisy about drinking... Wasn't Jake also a barhopping drunk when Taylor dumped him and David suspended him from work? Hitting up the Casino bar and ConFusion bar on the regular -- and didn't one of those stops on his drinking tour result in him drunkenly pelting Amanda with all kinds of sluts and whores? And isn't he just as judgmental of JR? And isn't he the one who just finished intentionally driving home the idea that it's David's fault this his baby is dead? THAT'S what I'm talking about when it comes to hypocrisy. Considering yourself a good guy while doing just as, or even more despicable things to someone else. There's a difference between "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" and "I'm judging you for your bad behavior, but I am NEVER to be judged for my own!"

Yes, Jake did do the bar hopping scene for the four weeks he was suspended from his duties at the hospital, but no, one of those stops did not result in him drunkenly pelting Amanda with all kinds of 'sluts' and 'whores". He asked her if she was playing "dress up again" this time as a hooker. No doubt he was a drunken ass but what he said to Amanda was a far cry from calling her a slut or whore...playing dress up vs. real life. Although David has called her both of those names several times.

Sounds just like David when he lambasts JR for his alcoholism and then turns around gets drunk, physically assaults his wife or gets behind the wheel of a car endangering not only himself and his passenger(s) but anyone else who dares to be on the roads of Pine Valley while David does what he regularly blasts JR for doing. If JR had done what David just did David would be the first one to call JR every name in the book and take him back to court and challenge his fitness to raise a small child... Sounds like David isn't fit to raise a child either. Of course this is just my opinion.

Oh, he referred to her as a hooker? You're right. That's not the same as calling a woman a whore. True, a whore and a hooker are both names designated for woman who offer their bodies in exchange for something...

Here's the difference -- and as snotty as this sounds, I really wish people would actually WATCH the show instead of salivating over their favorite actor/couple -- JR's exhibited a pattern of destructive behavior due to his chemical dependency/addiction ever since he was 14 years old! Way back when he was strung out on drugs and drove off with a pregnant Hayley in the car with him and crashed into the side of the road. What's going on with David is recent... within the last month. I don't understand how the past few weeks, when David's been drunk twice compares to the last five years of JR's on/off/on/off/on/off sobriety -- which resulted in toppling over a scaffold of cynder blocks and construction equipment on a pregnant Kendall, jumping out of a hotel window, enabling his son to get alcohol poisoning and then holding a loaded gun and threatening to murder his own father.

Comparing David's bouts of drunkenness to JR's alcoholic fits of rage are ridiculous. If I recall correctly (since I'm not watching this week), the last time David was drunk, he was in his own house. Mabe McGrimace and KWAK went over to him. He didn't seek them out.

As for David not being fit to raise a child -- can he at least be allowed to raise ONE of his children before people just off hand judge him as a horrible father?

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
