Members R Sinclair Posted August 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 I agree. Derek may not have solved a crime during his stint as chief, but he wasn't corrupt. No matter how many times Tad would pull the "we're best friends" card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 Here's a thought: why not just do what Agnes Nixon said and "follow the characters"? I could begin another boring-ass tirade about the utter stupidity of many who've pissed away the honor of being HW for AMC; suffice it to say, however, if someone would just take the [!@#$%^&*] risk of getting canned by Frons and write these characters as three-dimensional people, it would solve many problems and save many of us a whole lot of heartburn and headaches.

Members Clear Drama Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 It really doesn't take a genius to know most of those characters were thrown under the bus to prop David as THE bad guy and it was written horribly. Most of those characters have been ruined b/c of the David character, not all, most. It really doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.

Members AMCDYNASTY Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 Right. I just wonder what will happen, will Derek come back and take over the spot or will dead Jesse get it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 Look, it's fine to have characters (such as David) who force others to say and do things they wouldn't under "normal" circumstances; that's what good drama is! But when characters behave abominably (and yes, OOC) even when their buttons aren't being pushed? Then, it's not character-propping, or agenda-pushing. It's bad writing. ALL MY CHILDREN has been guilty of that since 19-frigging-91, and it has to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 The only reason Derek didn't commit too many crimes is cause he barely had stories. But when he did he DID break the law. He was also extremely overprotective of HIS daughter & let most of the same people who practiced vigilante justice under Jesse (Adam, Palmer, Erica, Kendall, Greenlee, Tad, David, Ryan, Zach) go free too.

Members Clear Drama Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 I'm trying to think of one thing that made sense when they were propping David. The HW at the time was Charles Pratt Jr. Mr.Melrose Place turned PV into Death Valley, a place where the sun didn't shine, a place where Ryan Lavery turned into GH's Jason, a place where the only right thing that happened was that Babe died. Everything else was as if you were watching a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 I like how Angie's, "It not your [Jesse's] fault, it's nobody's fault, it just happened" set the burden of David's involvement free from this situation and these two can concentrate on THEIR story as a couple and as parents, keeping the focus where it belongs. I hope the writers will stay true to that line and let them do this as David-free as possible... at Pine Valley Hispital. I still think David will be the miracle worker who flies in the specialist from Europe who'll give Angie her sight back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
