Sorry--the crack comment was meant to be funny but wasn't. And yes I like my meth--allows me to keep up with you when posting here ;)

I really don't think that Jesse and Angie have been thrown under this proverbial bus for David. They HAVE had their story center around him--way more than it should IMHO, but... I don't believe they've ever been used to prop David in ANY way.

And for the record I would much rather have Jesse be a policeman in charge of a case I was involved with than John :P

Because they haven't. Especially Jesse. He was Ryan's lapdog first, then became Zach's corrupt lapdog. Then became unforgivably reprehensible as a "chief" by covering up a murder of a public official long before he and David crossed paths.

And Angie? She brought this feud between her and David on herself. When I mentioned way back when how inappropriate she was to be giving David such ill attitude when she doesn't even know him, I was told how it was totally in character for Angie to hate David. Angie was friends with Tad and Krystal, and she knows about the grief David caused the both of them so that's why she was well within her place to give David attitude. Oops. Now that her stank ass behavior bit her on her own stank ass, she's all of a sudden being written out of character and thrown under a bus? rolleyes.gif

There is no logic. It's just complaining for the sake of complaining.

Hey, what can I say. Gotta take the bitter with the sweet.

That's it? That's your best defense? "Gotta take the bitter with the sweet"? No apologies, no deeper explanations, just..."gotta take the bitter with the street".

You know, even if you're right in saying David Hayward is no more or less reprehensible than any other character on this show, the fact that you've painted us all with the same brush as you've painted DeeeDee makes engaging in further conversation with you on ANY subject an unpleasant proposition. Perhaps, if it pains you so to debate with us ignorant jackasses about AMC, you should do us and yourself a favor and stay away.

They totally have.

Again all mainly which happened under Pratt who made NO secret of caring about characters acting IN character or their previous history.

But all too willingly used by desperate fans to constantly prop certain sociopathic characters like The Gut That Ate Pine Valley & give them "moral highground".

Just like Adam.

And Tad.

And Krystal.

And Amanda.

And Liza.

And Jake.

And Greenlee.

And Jackson.

And Ryan.

And Erica.

And Bianca.

And Opal.

And Frankie.

And Brot.

Oh please.

Angie was being moronically criticized LONG before that for DARING to be friends with Tad & Krystal for things THEY did when SHE WASN'T IN TOWN & it only got worse when Krystal & David were married.

And David was constantly baiting her from the moment they met yet he has to be painted like a saint cause god forbid Saint David ever be wrong per the show & especially certain fans.

Again the same with Todd.

Much like David being Greenlee's "partner" & husband TOTALLY justified his drugging Bianca, sabotaging Fusion & tampering with Erica's flight.

She & Jesse both are being written WAY OOC but since the horrible writing & agendas benefits your sociopathic character it must be defended.

You can't even deal with your pathology. *ruffles your hair*

True, that's been my position ever since David's been back, but that wasn't what I was talking about. I'm just saying Jesse and Angie aren't being thrown under any bus as some huge racist conspiracy to "prop" David to suit his desperate fans' agenda. If David is being "propped," I highly doubt the characters who are being dragged along by the bus they've been thrown under would be saying how evil David is and how he's to blame for every last thing wrong in Pine Valley. That kinda goes against the concept of "propping."

"Propping" is more along the lines of Natalia saying Jesse is the best chief of police Pine Valley's ever had.

I just think that Jesse shouldn't be a police chief at all. He, Tad and Aidan should form their own PI business together and solve mysteries themselves. Derek Frye and Anna Devane should be the new COP's in charge. At least Derek never broke the law. As for Anna, sometimes she did to protect David, correct me if im wrong.

Fine by me!

Oh, and R? If you cannot figure out that propping characters and/or throwing them under buses to suit this-or-that agenda is not the issue right now (at least, not the one that concerns me), then I don't know what to tell you.

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.

    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.

    • It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.
    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
