So Janet hates Jake? You know what they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day. :lol: I'd love it if she came back and made his life hell and ran him out of town. I know that won't happen though. Hopefully they can give Janet some fun stuff but also enable her to make return appearances. I'd love to see her stay for a longer stint and see her truly try to work out her mental problems but I will enjoy some of the campy stuff, as Kate does well with that.

About Chrishell, it seems as if she's found a pace with AMC....we certainly have been seeing less of her. Her recurring status is showing, IMO. From reading her twitter, she seems very comfortable with AMC and everything. However, I wouldn't be surprised if out of the blue, she left AMC for something else. After all, she did move to LA not because AMC was moving, but because she wanted to move here to branch out and do other things.

Back to Janet. From reading the whole article, it doesn't seem like KC wants to be tied to a contract role or anything like that. She likes doing the stints, I can understand that. I hope she has stints as Janet more frequently on AMC. LOL, maybe she can break out of Oakhaven every now and then and wreak havoc. I would so love that. And wow, she returns April 30th, AMC kept this a secret for awhile.

I agree with your post! I don't think Chrishell is going to leave unless she gets something else... like a pilot or something. Its amazing how much she has grown in her time on the show. She can hold her own up against all the vets and she is so gorgeous! I can't wait to see Janety and Amanda again.... I mean its been way to long.

You know, Carl...

Trust is like a mirror; you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother !@#$%^&*]'s reflection.

And I think that's fitting, considering this topic concerns Janet (and we all know her devotion to the mirror :lol: ).

From DontStare at SOC:

AMC'S JANET IS BACK

Janet is exposed as AmandaFan on 4/30. Collins (Janet) credits the fans and Chrishell for her return. She was taken aback by AMC: LA, "you drive onto this lot?" Then she saw many familiar faces & that put her at ease. She thinks the story she's coming into is a good nod to history, and serves particularly Amanda (thus Jake & Amanda) well. In Janet's eyes, Jake is an onstacle to her (Janet's) world (which is Amanda & Trevor). She's planning to make Amanda into a superstar. She's sure Erica won't do Amanda right b/c Erica hates being upstaged. Collins says the story starts out wacky but it turns more into an exploration between mother & daughter/daughter & son/Amanda's demons. Outside of Jamanda, Janet also shares screen-time with Angie and Erica. Janet is back for 8 episodes. Collins is open to a Janet return.

Only 8 episodes? How can any of this be accomplished in 8 episodes? I feel this is the end of any type of Janet & Amanda relationship.

Well if she's open to a Janet return, maybe it's not really the end of their relationship. I wonder how things will actually end between them, before KC leaves. Maybe if AMC actually brought her back again, with less of the craziness and more remorse for the things she's done, things can work out with her and Amanda. I love campy, crazy arse Janet, LOL, but I don't want it to completely ruin her relationship with Amanda! Thanks for posting that spoiler, I am looking forward to everything anyways! ;-)

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.
