But...but Madison is boring too!! Like really boring....laugh.gif

Really only a shade or two makes the difference with Randi and Madison. Both have limited acting skills and really neither one of them has more chemistry with Frankie than the other. With that being said, I don't mind Randi and Frankie breaking up, if Randi isn't sent to the minority closet and actually gets to hook up with another character.

Man, Greens is one fickle chick. I am glad David is putting the screws on her because really this trick should have NEVER married him knowing that she couldn't tear herself from Ryawn.

I agree with the other posters who think David and Liza need to get back together, because they have always work in some weird way.

Commenting on yesterday's show, Damon really needs to stay infatuated with Liza, because him and Colby are snooze worthy.

I agree with Meldus, I think Madison is boring too, though in a different way. Madison has always been better acted but she's imo been injected with a huge dose of boring in both the writers' and the actor's (to be fair, perhaps it's direction) attempts to make her more sympathetic. A character who had bite like Madison doesn't just drop it completely because she's dealt with a couple of daddy issues and taken a new lease on life. The change was too sudden, too complete. And all for what? Were we desperate for a new young heroine? I think it has to do with what R. was saying a couple weeks back, that uncomfortable sense of the writers telling us how to feel about characters instead of just dealing with them as living breathing human beings in their particular circumstances and letting us make those decisions for ourselves.

While he was living in the 'Wild Wind' manor TIIC placed him in, he blackmailed Amanda to staying w/ him. Told her she was free to leave but Trevor goes nowhere w/ her. This went on for a long time, even had that scene in the backseat of his car that nearly looked like a rape scene.

I got lost because, apparently, you don't know how to properly structure a sentence. See, in grammar school, we're taught how to divide up three separate thoughts into their own sentences -- complete with appropriate use of pronouns, proper nouns and punctuation. Not jumble them into one run grammatically incorrect compound sentence.

(sigh) That's the trouble with public message board forums. Even people who flunked 3rd grade English can post on them. sleep.gif

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
