Is that true with Zendall? McTavish seemed to be the main force behind Zach and Kendall. She was out in early/mid 2007. B&E wrote more about Zach's great connection with Greenlee, and Pratt, I don't think he's ever been that fond of them. He had Zach lusting after Reese and then nailing Liza on the roulette wheel.

I mainly meant McTash there. Everyone was ready for her ass to go, but the whole time, I'm looking at Zendall fans like..."Uh...but she writes for your lame ass couple, and she's obsessed with Zach. You should hate to see her go."

I loved the Mardi Gras Ball too. The tornado, not so much. Okay, not at all.

It's weird seeing Edmund and Maria. I know they were, at one time, very popular, but they had about two years of decent story. By 1996 or 1997 their relationship had degraded to endless baby woe, with Maria in tears most of the time and Edmund as the self-righteous husband. Their reunion in 2002 eventually became a fiasco.

Don't apologize :P

I don't think you get what I'm saying, though. I'm not necessarily talking about the people who complain about their couple's stories. It's more like...the people who almost separate their couple from the rest of the show. In one thread, they'll say..."Oh man, AMC sucks donkey balls big time. The whole show is a disaster," but then in another thread, it's "Oh man, Zendall is amazing couple, I love them, they are great, they are sexy, and they are epic."* Is this "amazing couple" not on a show that is wholly a "disaster?" It's either an over-the-top evaluation of the HW/EP (OMFG I HATE MCTAVISH/B&E/PRATT/PASSANANTE/ETC I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM THEY SUCK THEY'RE RUINING OUR SHOW AND IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT AND THAT'S IT AND AAAAAAH!!!!!!!!111oneoneoneeleven) or pretty shallow love for the couple, usually a mixture of them both. It falls into the "Bad writers never write good stories" category, but it also deals with that strange phenomena where a couple can get truly shiteous writing, but their most devoted fans will find a way to spin, and spin, and spin, and spin more than a girl on colorguard, until that shiteous writing is deemed "deep" and romantic."**

* - I can't believe I typed that ish, even for hypothetical reasons.

** - Yes, I'm talking about Zach murdering Josh to get his heart.

I see what you mean now.

I think people have very fond memories of a couple they aren't as likely to let go of, even if their opinion of the show plummets. That couple represents more for them than the program itself. I do think in some cases, fans do end up having a more negative opinion of a couple when really bad writing hits. With Zendall, at some boards, like TWOP, they had some big fans who, around the time of Zach killing Josh and the Reese crap and Zach becoming "Zonny", just stopped posting entirely, or stopped watching.

The fans who stay on are more likely to be more invested in that couple and the good memories they represent. It's a power struggle, and a way to have control over a soap which often treats viewers like they're meaningless.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
