I have another question.

Why is it that every time I do catch an episode of AMC the next morning on SoapNet, it's always an episode involving a scene with that horrid actress making me laugh my ass off?!

I'm still waiting for Judy Blye Wilson's and Michael Bruno's belief of "You can teach a beautiful person how to act, but you can't teach an actor to be beautiful" to kick in, here. It's been a year, and it looks like this beautiful person wasn't even taught to play "let's pretend" let alone ACT!

I'm with you. I'm on a hiatus. Maybe in the fall when things tend to get better in general I'll come back. But actually watching every day like I did this past year? Nah! That's out. I don't like the majority of these people right now. I'm willing to forgive a shoddy, unoriginal plot if I like the characters. But combining the two makes it must-leave TV for me.

And as I've said before and will continue to say again -- DENISE VASI COASTED ON HER SUPERFICIAL BEAUTY LONG ENOUGH! If you (TPTB) insist on giving the Randi character heavy story, either get this blank slate an acting coach or RECAST THE ROLE!

It's bad... I mean, baaaad, if Randi's in danger of getting sexually assaulted, and I'm LAUGHING at her because I'm too busy watching the actress's performance rather than feeling for the character.

I've read on her twitter of times where she's going to see an acting coach LOL.

They need to progress this damn Who Killed Stuart storyline - at this point I don't care! (as long as it's not Annie - the perfect scapegoat for Queen Erica and Princess Kendell RME)

I hope it's pro bono... because otherwise she's getting taken for a ride, the viewers are suckered and this "coach" is laughing all the way to the bank. Even Ambyr Childers showed some signs of improvement after five or six months... and then she was immediately replaced with... Oh, mon dieu, it's MonGrief!

AMC is very good at killing off promising characters. And giving piss-poor followup.

The level of interest in AMC here and at some other boards seems to have dropped markedly over the past few months. I wonder if people have just finally given up.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
