AMC: Miercoles, Cinco de Mayo

[Jonathan]

Hola mi amigos. Vamos a discutir Todos Mis Hijos.

This one post in this thread is the most hispanic Ive seen of AMC since the Santos family was eradicated

[Steve]

Quoi? Je ne comprends pas.

As far as AMC goes, I had to watch yesterday's online because of a couple of major thunderstorms yesterday that prevented me from catching both the 1:00 viewing and the SoapNet repeat, so forgive me if I mix up what happened today and yesterday since I watched them both back to back.

Watching 2 episodes in a row, I was struck by how many characters are in one episode these days and I'm very happy about that. I loved having all the Hubbards together to support Natalia.

I hate to admit it, but I don't mind Rylee as much as I used to. I'm still hoping David/Greenlee can get enough support for the show to keep them together, but I don't cringe at Rylee these days. I'm also hopeful that David's blackmailing Madison will lead to her and Ryan becoming a real couple down the road.

I'm still liking Tad/Damon.

Annie & JR are generating so much heat these days! I can't wait until the next time they give in to their feelings. In the meantime, it was hilarious how Annie skirted around the truth and Marissa was too clueless to catch the hints. Deep down, she must suspect why Adam put Scott in charge of Chandler Enterprises.

Marissa is TOO dumb for words. Seriously this girl wouldnt see a clue coming if it came up and slapped her in the face

David is getting way too jealousy and I see him getting posessive and creepy. He's gonna ruin what he has

I'm a screw up; I'm a loser; My life sucks. Is anyone else beyond sick of this? I dont think I have to explain what Im talking about

[R Sinclair]

Explain what? Huh? I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I have some new disorder called ADHD.

So not buying Ryan and Tad as best friends all of a sudden...hated Tad confiding in Ryan about Damon, and Ryan trying to act all surprised and trying to help him as if. Tad needs to be confiding in his REAL friend, Jessie Hubbard. And Ryan needs to just sit the hell down and die.

Jacob Young's hair is looking like a giant buttery bowl of popcorn, it is looking horrible all of a sudden hope it doesn't stay like that. I almost wish he was bald again lol

I've been noticing that to, and I commend AMC for it. They manage to put a lot of characters in one episode, and they make it work. And I so loved the Hubbard's coming together for Natalia, to.

They are, and I love it. They just can't get enough of each other, I love how they met up in that room at the end of today's ep. I wonder what they will do? Lol I love this pairing...

She was being soo dumb....I'm trying to give her a chance, though. Seeing what she'll do after she finally finds out about JR and Annie, which I'm sure is soon.

I was getting deja vu flashbacks to how he used to act about Amanda last year...I don't like where AMC is taking this. I was hoping he would be more confident with himself, and have more trust in Greenlee. But you can so tell that he is doing the opposite.

That reminds me. Whatever happened to Erica's wacky Latina cellmate/friend, Carmen(?) I think her name was. Wasn't she dating Jack?

[AllMyDaysatGH]

She was last seen on the show in January 2009, after she admitted to Jackson that she knew he still loved Erica. After that, she was never seen again. Sometimes I still wonder about her, and what her connection was to Randi, if she even really had one.

[marceline]

Maybe they should wrap up all these dead end plot points by saying that Carmen and Randi are related to Miguel. Boom! New core family!

[SFK]

Yeah, Carmen and Randi had a scene where they talked about going to the boutique in their teens and the last time Randi went the salesgirl said the old lady who used to run it (Myrtle ) doesn't come in anymore.

[alwaysAMC]

Well, I'll comment on the whole week...

Love that JR's new hair is coming through (even though it is a tad too fake orange/yellow). The tan, hot new body, and baby blue shirt is WORKING on him.

MCE is just pure love... I LOVE Annie, and love watching her with JR. HOT.

I gotta give props to Marissa (well, the actress...). She played those scenes really well when she found out about JR/Annie.

When Janet is on meds, Kate Collins is amaaaaazing. Great scenes on Friday between Kate and Chrishell. They were SPOT ON.

Seemed as though Jesse could tolerate Liza at the yacht club, unlike Miss Triflin' Hubbard.

[Cheap21]

Oh boy, Crishelle and Kate killed it on Friday. I felt sorry for both their characters. What a horrific thing for Janet to tell Amanda, that the only reason she killed Trevor was bc Amanda lovd him more and then she proceeded to say it was all her fault he was dead. I felt so bad for Amanda bc no child should carry that guilt. Throughout all of this, Janet kept telling her she was just like her bc she loved her child to death and would do anything for him. The thing is it is kinda true bc she does love her son with all her heart. Watching her struggling with not wanting to accept that and not let her love for him, taint and control her like it did to Janet is going to be tough to her.

And as for Janet, I felt so bad for her bc she genuinly and truly loves Amanda. Her entire life is focused on her. She has no family, no friends; Amanda is literally all she has left. Amanda's ignored her and has made no contact with her in years and its like being shot in the heart to hear that she wants nothing to do with her. Janet doesnt even realize she's doing anything wrong bc she cant comprehend how loving ones own child can be looked down upon so much. I cant really hate her bc she's sick. The sad thing is, I dont think she can get better without Amanda. She's probably forever going to be a mess

[AllMyDaysatGH]

I was blown away by Friday's ep. I thought Script Writer Lisa Connor wrote an amazing episode on Friday

ITA with everyone about Kate and Amanda! Amazing! You guys said it all. Cheap, I understood Janet to when she kept saying how she loved her child to death, and Amanda did to. That was very true. Janet made a lot of good points. I hated how Amanda just wouldn't believe it and she's so hell bent on trying to convince herself that she's nothing like her mom. I hope those weren't the last Janet\Amanda scenes, I hope there's at least one more confrontation between them.

I was blown away by Marissa, to. Brittany Allen did good...I felt her scenes. The only thing I didn't like was how Marissa just handed JR the ring..uhm, your supposed to throw it.lol that was soft. And also why did she say goodbye to AJ? She adopted him, and she's also his aunt to....and regarding Thursday's episode, with Annie's dreams while under the influence of JR's drugs, I LOVED Kick Arse Marissa!! I want her to act more like that. I hope she does, I'm going to give her a chance. Kudo's to Jacob Young, to.

Greenlee and Ryan in Rio, I wasn't as annoyed as I thought I would be. I'm glad they weren't flirting or anything, Ryan just wanted to get down to business. Greenlee getting all sick, showing signs of pregnancy, RB did a pretty good job. Greenlee and Ryan are ok as just friends.

Loved when Angie called David a "Trifling ass" LOL!

[SFK]

What's best is that she went for "triflant" like we say it around the way.

When Janet was going on about how she had to kill Trevor because Amanda loved him more, my immediate thought was: Janet=RUINED

I just can't get with that. No remorse for her, that really hurt her already damaged character in my eyes.

There used to be these battery commercials with these plastic robot people. That's what J.R. reminded me of with the hair and bright shirt. His hair color is... preternatural. Don't know if this is merely a superficial change for JY or if the show is going for something deeper, but I find the new look interesting because when my friend's mom's hair started growing back after chemo it came in all kinky and in a new shade.

[R Sinclair]

OMG! You must be around 30, because those Duracell commercials were like 20 years ago!
