Brooke's Back

Her first encounter isn't a warm one, as it's with Annie and Annie off the bad hates her. Brooke gets thrown right into the JR crisis. It doesn't sit well with Annie as Brooke gets close with everyone. Adam is desperate to find a bone marrow donor for JR and tells Brooke his long kept secret, he has a son named Miguel that he has never told anyone about that was the product of a one night stand.

Greenlee Marries David

Ryan and Jackson's pleas fall on death ears and Greenlee marries David. Will this MOC become more? RB says she has no idea, but does think she and VI have nice chemistry. VI notes that they always had a special bond in the past but this situation of him saving her life has made it stronger and though David isn't planning on falling in love he might.

Little A announces he will now be known as AJ.

Erica's on board with helping Ryan destroy David on 3/1. Tad offers Damon help on 3/2.

Yes, I know. That is what I was saying. I do not expect her to give it. Absolutely no. Even if she wanted, I think Frons would sanction it. The interview is not the only way to know for sure something came from her, but would be an excellent and widely available source to which to link to.

But you weren't really a fan of her AMC, if I recall correctly? Obviously, you found her miles above Pratt or McTrashish, but not immensely fabulous?

I wouldn't say I wasn't a fan of hers. I think she did some incredible work in her 86-89 solo stint (well, 86-87 as co-HW with Wisner). Yes, there were some major clunkers, most notably the whole Silver/Damon thing, but overall her stories were incredibly strong. My biggest problem with that stint is that there were so many stories. Front burner stories rarely appeared more than 3x a week, and because there were so many stories going on simultaneously, there wasn't much crossover and there were glaring day-to-day continuity issues. I wonder how much of that was then-EP Steve Schenkel's influence. But most of her stories were truly riveting and smartly written. There's also a warmth to her writing that she definitely inherited from Agnes and Wisner. That was a great time for the show. I loved, loved, loved the early part of her second go-around--under FMB. Janet/Pierce/Laura, Laurel/Trevor/Mike Delaney, Liza/Tad (for the most part), the teens. Everything just came together beautifully. Again, just smartly and warmly written for the most part. I wasn't so hot for the storytelling under Francesca James, but again, don't know how much of that was James or even Disney, which took over ABC at the same time James stepped up. She sounds like a very smart, savvy lady who cares about the genre and who doesn't just phone in her storylines and just collect a check. Like I wrote above, maybe this Miguel thing will come off better than it sounds on paper. After all, we don't know much about it just yet. Plus, this could still be the tail end of Pratt's writing.

That's a wonderful post LoyaltoAMC! While I am way to young to remeber her first stint in the late 80's, the way you describe her is exactly how I feel about Lorraine based off of her 1995-97 stint. She has a flaws like anyone, but she does possess warmth and really writes women well. I mean, Erica/Janet/Skye was AMAZING. There has been such misogyny on AMC for many years. Not many strong women over the past 5 or 6 years, but already we are seeing that feminist angle that Broderick loves so much in Greenlee. Greenlee is taking charge and isan't being written as this poor little victim that needs to be saved by a man.... Someone shoulsd give Cam Mathison that memo She gets AMC and what it is all about. Miguel sounds bad yes and I expect it to be very bad (but I have been conditioned to feel that way). If it proves to be bad, well then yes Lorraine will take a hit.... but my guess it will come off 10 times better than it would under Pratt, B&E's or McTavish's troubled pens.

I also feel like this last statement is laced with cynicism toward the idea of fans actually enjoying someone's work.

That's how Sylph feels about everything people enjoy. Except, of course, the last three seasons of Alias or any of the other JJ Abrams shows that fall apart when forced to make sense. Those are golden. Only JJ and Sylph understand quality entertainment. But the real question is, why won't JJ call him back?!

Do not expect an answer from Sylph as to how to combat cynicism or what should be done about daytime. His only answer to daytime is no answer and a scorched earth policy. The implicit theme of his collected works is that anyone who thinks daytime can or should be salvaged is a naive fool. Not like him. And JJ.

AMC used to have a character back in 2003 named Carlos Reyes from Argentina or something, he was the handyman at Fusion who dated Greenlee (she was using him). Juan Pablo was his brother and I remember him coming to protect Carlos from the Argentinian mob. I remember Carlos died in late 2003 after one of the nurses turned out to be from the Mob and implanted something into his chest, which Edmund discovered far after he died.

Well my point is LOL, the woman Adam is asking Tad to finds name is Sonya Reyes, she's the mother of Miguel, and I think she might also be the mother of Carlos and Juan Pablo, or she might have some other relation to them. Carlos also used to work at The Chandler Gallery before he worked at Fusion, to..do you think there is a connection?

I certainly hope not.

Wow, you have a really good memory. I didn't care for any of the stories during this period.

Juan Pablo & his stubble.
