Members R Sinclair Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 Well done episode. I actually liked Miz "Git to Steppin'" and Jessica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 It was a near perfect episode that has put me in the awkward position of being grateful to ABC for something. All those brown people and all of them EXCELLENT actors, and everything else you mention, the directing, the dialogue. That scene where Jesse told Frankie about the pregnancy scare and Frankie looked freaked and just a teeny bit grossed out. They gave good material to actors who could handle it and it worked. Which begs the question: what storage unit do they have Frons locked up in? Because, seriously, you KNOW there's no way he greenlighted this. This was a Frons free episode. What's going on over at AMC that's so different from the other two shows on ABC's lineup? ETA: The only drawback is that this jewel of an episode was on a Friday when ratings are usually the lowest.

Members Ann_SS Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 A rare event on an ABC soap. AMC does seem out of step with the other two ABC soaps. It is a real soap. I can't help wondering if this is good or bad from the network's perspective. Does this mean that ABC is giving the new team leeway to turn the demos around? Or does this mean that ABC isn't interested in AMC any more? Maybe Frons is just distracted by GH, Vanessa, and Franco. Whatever it is AMC is benefiting so it is all good.

Members All My Shadows Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 The same storage unit the Hubbards will be in for at least the next three weeks. Just watch. They emptied the whole box of food into the aquarium. They'll continue feeding us when they get back from Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm not sure about that. With Erica and Jack about to go on vacation the show might be willing to risk letting the Hubbards act as temporary lead characters and hope that the audience doesn't revolt too much before they can bring Kendall back. (Please read the above statement with maximum allowable sarcasm and derision.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 The two best in their class on my birthday. Thanks! Thanks! Right back at you. I stated in another thread that I want All My Children to win in writing because I want to see Agnes hit Pratt over the head with the statuette. Thanks!

Members All My Shadows Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 I hope so. The way I see it, this episode can mean only one of two things: they're committed to this storylines and these characters, or they think this is gonna be good enough until they feel like writing for them again.

Members DeeeDee Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 And this is the problem. The Hubbards & even David could work if Daytime wasn't so plot focused. If AMC let The Hubbards be The Hubbards & not the latest characters that do extremely OOC stuff to facilitate the propping of agenda driven characters the show would be fine. The same with David. It's not necessary that he ALWAYS scheme or ALWAYS have a "justified" vendetta where all other characters (including his) logic & morals are compromised to keep him on the show.

Members marceline Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 In the hands of skilled writers, Angie's story and David's story would be on a collision course with each other and not in the usual "David saves the day" kind of way. His little speech about "protect yourself first" was more telling about HIS worldview than anything and the fact that this disease is Angie's consequence for failing to do that shows the flaw in HERS. Also kudos to the show for giving Angie a real disease so we don't have to put up with weeks and months of talk about some vague, unnamed "condition" or "infection."

Members R Sinclair Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 And here I get Amanda Beall on my 28th, and Rebecca Taylor on my 31st (29th and 30th were on weekends or I'm sure Mandy and Becky would've been writing those episodes, too).

Members DeeeDee Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 Exactly. Soaps need plot but sacrificing characters for them leads to stuff like Rape The Lesbian, The Baby Switch That Wouldn't End, The Unabortion & Madden In A Box. Look at how many characters barely recovered (or still have yet to) from The Baby Switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm not fond of blindness storylines because like I said I don't want this to end at Christmas where Angie is having a conversation with Fr. Clarence and then poof she's cured. But I will take this story over anything McTavish would've written. Angie probably would've been raped.

Members Cheap21 Posted June 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 what makes you think this will last that long? Haha, I wouldnt be surprised if Angie were cured by fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 26, 2010 Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 Does anyone know the name of that song played during the last scene? Is that an originally composed song for the show or is it a commercial cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
