You have a point, and I'll half agree with it, but I don't think it's ever been quite this bad. It does lend credence to Canary wanting to exit gracefully now though (despite Nelson B and others acting like AMC has fired him). It almost felt liek there was meant to be more scenes with Ghost Stuart in Heaven and they just cut them cuz he couldn't pull them off--we see him, commercial break, come back and there's some lame line like JR: "Where's Stuart?" Dixie:"OH I guess left cuz he said what he had to say..."

Or, maybe he's doing it on purpose. I have a theory. When he was playing both brothers, he was getting paid $X. But with all the budget cuts, they killed his other character which led to his salary being cut as well. So now, when he's asked to play Stuart, he's like, "Why the eff should I put any effort into this when I'm not getting paid?"

I know, it's ridiculous, but I'm just speculating.

LOL..I dont blame Greenlee for laughing. Erica tied up is pure hilarity

Budig is Love!

I am so happy to have her back. And to have the REAL greenlee back as well.

Natalia

YES!

I love her. The actress is fantastic. She really should move up on AMC to lead status, IMHO.

Do we know we got paid double $$? Because most actors do not.

On one of those old Oprah's soimeone asked him if he made a double salary--he said "I wish". David's too professional to do anything close to what you suggest

I didn't even watch the JR/Stuart stuff from Monday, because when I was going through the clips, I was like, "Why is Adam in heaven with JR?" I didn't even have to hear the words, I saw it in the way DC carried himself, etc. that he wasn't channeling Stuart. Makes me sad that my gut feeling was right.

Go to 5:00 He doesn't even modulate his voice differently like Stuart would Maybe Adam is the one actually in Heaven

Ive seen some people interpret differently and say that this was intentional on AMC's part. The reasoning being that this was a depiction of heaven and so any illnesses, disabilities or mental issues a person may have are gone and they become "normal" so to speak in heaven. I guess that could kinda make sense but Im not so sure if thats where the writers were trying to go with this

Hrmmm... I tseems like a lot of fancy explanation as an excuse to me

That's how I interpreted it. Stuart's mental disability wouldn't be with him in the afterlife. The belief is that when you do pass on, you are healed of all that troubled you on earth and are made whole. The character's spirit was Stuart, the characterization -- based on his mental disabilities -- wasn't. And it probably was an acting choice by David Canary -- not the writers.

But then again we go into hysterics over shaky cams, so I can understand how anything creatively different might spur conspiracy theories.

I'm calm.

Nah, I doubt it. I'm sure he gets paid well though for being on the show for this long.

I know. That was just my wild imagination.

I'm just now catching up on this week's shows. OK, I have a theory. When Nurse Gayle said that she wanted to call her sister in Cincinnati, Ohio did anyone else think that her sister might be Damon's mother aka Hillary? Doesn't Damon hail from Ohio?

Does he? I never considered that. It's possible, because who knows if Betty Wilson or Langley Wallingford (aka Lenny Vlasic - I can just hear Phoebe say the name in anger!) had another daughter. But I'm not sure where something like that would lead.

I'm calm.

Aww, you're making me blush! Still referencing our previous conversation 7 days later...
