Members Adam Posted March 2, 2010 Members Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hard to say, but if Hillary does indeed show up again, Bobbie Eakes will continue to just be window dressing. Its a shame, love or hate the character of Krystal, Bobbie Eakes is probably AMC's most talented actress next to maybe Debbi Morgan (and well for now Julia Barr). She is a powerhouse all the way. Maybe Bobbie can go back to B&B. They are well known for bringing people back from the dead (even after we see them in coffins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted March 2, 2010 Members Share Posted March 2, 2010 It doesn't help that Broderick has never written for Krystal, so she doesn't know who or what the character is about. I agree, Bobbie Eakes is talented. But Krystal is blah. The character never had any appeal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 2, 2010 Members Share Posted March 2, 2010 Bobbie was given a horrible character with horrible writing but she really shines. Plus ever since she's become friends with Jesse/Angie & gotten away from Tad/David/Adam she's been great but if AMC doesn't want her she would be welcome at Y&R.

Members Steve Posted March 2, 2010 Members Share Posted March 2, 2010 In one episode, Broderick has connected both Madison and Damon to a main character. Now that's how soaps should be! I loved the Angie/David and Greenlee/Erica scenes today. I'm intrigued by the idea that Hillary is Damon's mom and could conceivably come back. As someone else said, she was the first love of Tad's life and at this point, I would prefer seeing him reconnect with her instead of going back to Krystal. A triangle with Hillary/Tad/Liza would be great! I'm sure Bobbie Eakes was good in another role, but Krystal hasn't been a good character since she lost her initial skankiness. It's time they cut their losses and let her go, imo. I don't think Broderick's work in the past or currently justifies the cynicism that she would make David Damon's father.

Members Jonathan Posted March 2, 2010 Members Share Posted March 2, 2010 I loved these scenes too. I was disappointed to not see any back handed slaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted March 2, 2010 Members Share Posted March 2, 2010 A double bitch slap would have been so perfect. Frankie is taking pills and David will get blamed for this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted March 2, 2010 Members Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hillary back in the day... and Carmen Thomas circa 5 or so years ago... I always thought she had a little Lynda Carter look about her. I liked Hillary. Pre-Dixie, I always rooted for her and Tad... and I do suppose that during one of Tad's many outs with Dixie, he could have reconnected with his first love. That doesn't mean he did, but he could have. Thomas is honestly one of the few people apart from Cady McClain that shared a very sincere chemistry with MEK... She last appeared in an episode of ER a few years back. I think she's beautiful and would love to see her mix it up with Tad again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted March 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 ^Wow - she could almost be Jamie Lunar's sister... I'm betting Tad will adopt Damon after learning Hillary is his mother...once she dies. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 They can't kill off another one of Tad's loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yeah, I don't think it will go that way... As for the Luner resemblance, I don't really see it. But the photos are probably showing something that my own memory (of Hillary the character) might overshadow. By the way, not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Hillary's connections in Pine Valley run beyond Tad. Hillary is the daughter of Langley Wallingford, late (?) husband of the late Phoebe, Brooke's aunt - this made Hillary and Brooke cousins by marriage... and I recall that they did spend holidays together as a family at Phoebe's mansion. Hillary is also the half-sister of comedienne Carol Burnett's infamous AMC character, Verla Grubbs. (So yeah, Damon sort of has a famous aunt!)

Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'll be surprised if we see Hillary again, but hopefully they can respect her character (with some liberties taken of course) and still use her to further story even if she doesn't return. Last year she probably would have returned played by Traci Lords or Kristy Swanson, so that would have been very confusing in its own right.

Members Khan Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yeah, he's "late." When they killed off Phoebe, they finally alluded to Langley's death, too. Sure, go ahead, call me cynical for thinking David will turn out to be Damon's bio dad. I'll just laugh all the more when it turns out to be true. ;-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Is Hillary a character people really care to see? Was she popular? All I ever knew is that she was married to Tad but she didnt seem to make much of a major blip in AMC's history Good, lord WTF is Erica wearing? She has had the worst sense of fashion since gonig to LA. Her clothes are horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
