I agree with that.

I don't have a strong hatred for Marissa as some seem to have... for the simple fact that she isn't that important. She doesn't really affect any story or character. She's kind of an afterthought. It's always "what about Marissa?" after the fact. I don't even dislike Brittney Allen. I just don't think she's an actress with a commanding presence. I think she performs what's written and acts as directed. I don't find her adding anything special to the role. When everyone was talking about that actress playing Trent's widow being a more suitable replacement for the Marissa character... I had to say, um... she gives off the same bland vibe. Marginal.

I've always said that they went the wrong way with Marissa. If you're going to have twin daughters and have one (Babe) modeled after the whore of a mother, then you should have the other modeled after the devious father. It would've been interesting to see Marissa reject all things Krystal and have her embrace all things David. One, that would create an ally for David. Two, that would create a suitable female villain for the younger set. Wouldn't it have been great if Marissa latched on to JR to use him for his Chandler name and money -- playing off her Babe connection? That would've been more interesting than some strange woman coming to town and just so happening to fall madly in love with her dead twin sister's husband... for no real reason.

I want BA to succeed... but she's not BRINGING anything to the table.

Oh, and NO to Alexa Havins back as Marissa recast. That woman has problems separating reality from fiction.

Believe me. I know. Especially on General Hospital, currently. However, on AMC, it hasn't been this, shall I say, OBVIOUS, since McTavish. For instance, Jonathan telling Annie "YOU AND RYAN BELONG TOGETHER! YOU'RE THE PERFECT COUPLE!"

Um... really? We see how that turned out. Ryan and Annie had no sparks, but yet, they were madly in loved -- and got MARRIED -- only to have Annie pushed aside for Greenlee... fulfilling the purpose for Annie's creation: A Greenlee Placeholder.

Thank you. :)

It's not about temptation, it's about going back to that park scene when she told him he's a coward and how he can't be real w/ her. He let her into his world, something so personal that he never tells anyone. When he said you think you know me was the kicker to that scene. Annie's reaction was a deep one, she never would expect him to tell her that.

Although she's very thin and curveless, I don't think Marissa looks bad in her slinky little outfit. She's no Mary Ann getting knocked in the head with a coconut and dressing up like Ginger, but she's passable. You know, kinda like :ph34r: :

This really frustrates me, AMC should have done this from the start. NOW they are trying to do it, and it's just not working. To much has happened with her this past year thats opposite of that, to make it fully happen I think.

ETA: Sorry for 3 posts in a row, guys. Was expecting these to stack up. Guess not LOL

I'm curious, are we supposed to be rooting for Marissa? Goodness knows I don't want the show beating me over the head with the madonna/whore crap anymore than they already have but I just don't care about her.

Frankie taking that picture of him and Annie at the hospital was a funny moment. He is his father's son.

Erica describing Bianca to Caleb: "That is my GAY, MARRIED daughter." Hee!

Krystal is annoying. She had no business being at that will reading.

"My manicurist could do it better." Erica to Caleb regarding his inability to run Cortlandt Electronics. :lol:

Marissa is DESPERATE. I'm embarrassed for her.

It's great that the writers remembered that there is a connection between the Greys and Cortlandts via Sam. I totally forgot about that.

That's great! That means they have no integrity, if they're willing to sell a castle that's been in their family for generations, depriving any children of their own to enjoy it and pass it on to their children.

Family legacy, schmegacy. Fork over the cash.

Nice. <_<

    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
