I'm a fan of the Angie/Krystal friendship, and I'm glad we got those scenes today. They really came out of the blue, someone must have spoken up. Little things like that I really appreciate. That gives me hope that AMC will do something similar with JR and Kendall, sort of have them start to interact again. Their relationship is a little more complex though, and they have a lot of things to sort out to get even a little close to how they used to be.

We are seeing so much Jessie/Angie and I love it, AMC is taking this step by step. All of Angie's scenes are so long and drawn out...it is great. It is starting to get a little repetitive though, I am glad the show is inching closer to David finding out about what's wrong with Angie.

Increasingly more scenes involving Natalia and Frankie to. I am excited about Natalia the most, it seems Shannon Kane is done filming SWAT 2 and she's fully available to the show now, I am really hoping they do something more with her...

Rylee in full force today...I am really curious what AMC will do about this. We have Madison leaning towards both Ryan and Frankie. Will it be Madison/Frankie/Randi or Madison/Ryan/Greenlee? I'd honestly prefer Madison/Frankie/Randi, but that would leave the door right open for Rylee to reunite...ugh.

Shannon Kane is Cornelius and Shannon seem like real life brother and sister. Always love their honest and playful dialogue even though Frankie was lying his butt off about not being attracted to Madison. I see him cheating or coming close to it with Mads.

Sinclair,,I,, I have nothing to add you are so W..I..S..E..

Ick! That's one "friendship" I can do without.

Me too and yes, I have seen their scenes!

wow, I cant beleive someone is complaining about Randi's lack of airtime. Ever since she joined, most people have been wanting her out. Less Randi is a good thing and I dont blame DK for putting less focus on her. Randi is tolerable in small doses. Anything more and she's a nuisance

I can't believe it either, but I think it was more of a rant against Kreizman than a complaint about Randi. As if Kreizman were the sole headwrtier and to blame for everything anyone dislikes.

I just realized we haven't seen Ryan's loft in the longest. I think since January right?

As for what was going on there.. GreenMe did just about everything other than fart and burp in that loft today. It literally struck me how too familiar she is w/ that place, as if it's her home. That's the one scene that freakedd me out being a bit of a fan of Ryan/Madison's union. It's gonna be a long road, the triangle is coming but I keep saying it that GreenMe will finally lose it all in this SL.

I hope you're right. Madison has made Ryan tolerable for the first time in years and it would suck if they were wasted for another Rylee reunion.

I'd love for JR/Kendall to renew their friendship. Annie certainly wouldn't be happy about it! I'd actually like to see Marissa replaced in this story by Greenlee since she has a past with Scott and it would really annoy Annie to have to live with her.

The Frankie/Natalia scenes were great.

I'm so ready for David to figure out why Angie wouldn't look at him. I think the repetitiveness I was complaining about the other day is ending and this story is about to move forward!

Geez, tough crowd....lol. Do you guys prefer Angie/Krystal as best friends or Kendall/Greenlee? I for one would rather watch the former together

stop what? Trying to get a storyline?

lol

I dont think the majority of AMC fans care enough about Randi to care if Frankie dogs her out. Look at how many people are rooting for him to be with Madison and before she even entered the picture, peeople wanted him to drop her and for AMC to give him someone. For people to care, would mean for Randi to be a fan favorite or beloved and she is neither. Did people care when JR cheated on Marissa, who did nothing to deserve that? No, bc there was no strong attachment to Marissa nor did people care enough about her as her own character to feel much sympathy for her sake. I dont see it being much different Randi as she's in similar territory. I dont care if he gets with Madison but at this point, Id rather they kill Randi off and move him on in a new direction. She adds absolutely nothing to him. Frankie will be fine among AMC fans regardless of what he does here. I dont see this being the end of him

ITA. I don't think that most AMC fans are going to care one way or another if Randi/Frankie break up, even if it's because Frankie cheats on her with Madison. They are not a SuperCouple, and up until recently Frankie was barely shown. At one point it seemed like he was on like once every two weeks.

Plus cheating happens all the time on soaps, and a lot of people cheat, "heroes" "villians", etc... If Tad/Dixie survived all the times they cheated on each other, then Frankie will survive if he cheats on Madison. I wouldn't mind if Frankie/Randi grew apart, divorced and then he got with Madison. But I don't think that it will be the end of his character if he cheats on her. I don't think that most people are going to care too much about it one way or the other.

I have seen some people criticizing him,but most of them are fans of Frankie/Randi as a couple, and they seem to care about Randi more than they do Frankie. They didn't seem to care a whole lot about Frankie back when Pratt was still writing and he said something along the lines of re-evaluating Frankie/Randi as a couple, and possibly making changes due to that. It seemed like there was a time, when Pratt was thinking of breaking up Frankie/Randi and Frankie's head was possibly on the chopping block, not Randi.

It looked like they were possibly toying with the idea of getting rid of him, during the storyline about him going back to Iraq. And that's a shame, because IMO, Cornelius is a talented actor. If anyone from the pairing has to be let it should be Randi. She's not good for Frankie, and their pairing is one of the reasons why he has gotten very little air time.

Neither.

It's good that AMC has two 40+ Women as friends (and Bobbie Eakes is awesome) but it's pretty clear they're friends cause there aren't too many Women in that age range.

As far as Kendall/GreenPea that ship sailed a LONG time ago.

I kinda agree with that. I thought it was so refreshing to see them yesterday bc I realized that Angie had no female friends. Basically Natalia has been her only support and she's a daughter. The only other women in Angie's age group is Liza (whom she hates for good reason) and Erica (depending on where you put her). Angie has nothing in common with Erica and arent even in the same social circle. Krystal is her only peer adn they at least have an established connection via Tad. I definetly buy them more as best friends considering they are 2 mature women who genuinely seem to care about each other, unlike Kendall and Greenlee who are beyond ridiculous at this point considering how many times they've tried to destroy the others' life.

lol

Frankie's been used more in the last month than he has in the entire year. Ever since the move to LA, he's barely been on, and mainly in the background to fill up the hospital and Hubbard family scenes. He's finally getting scenes which revolve around him and he seems to be getting a story, even if it isnt much. If it takes teasing him with Madison, then go for it. He and Randi together are kinda dull at this point and they need something to spice them up. I like that they are taking their time developing something so it doesnt feel rushed if and when he does do something with Madison. Im already buying the issues in his marriage with Randi bc its happening subtely with a natural progression. He can definetly survive an affair bc other characters have who have done WORSE than cheat on their spouse. Baby stealing, rape, murder, anyone? I dont see why Frankie is automatically doomed for getting a little action on the side. IA on Cornelius. Im a fan and I look forward to seeing more of him.

I would love for Angie to have other friends but 40+ Women on AMC are scarce.

Opal would make a great confidant for Angie but she already plays that part for Erica (and AMC doesn't like to utilize her more than Kooky Aunt), Angie & Liza will never be friends & outside of rescuing Madison like you said she doesn't have much common with Erica.

They're tolerable cause Debbi & Bobbie work well together but that's it & to be fair most Women in Pine Valley don't have friends (or at least consistent ones) beyond Erica & Opal.

I dont see why Frankie is automatically doomed for getting a little action on the side.

He shouldn't be but he's Black so he will.

Look at Greg & Shaun on OLTL or Justus on GH or Reggie on AMC or Neil/Malcolm/Devon on Y&R or Marcus on B&B.

He's already a prop for his non acting wife but to have him cheat (better chemistry or not) on her & ruin what's been presented as a relatively solid marriage with a white girl who only sees him as a second choice?

Increasingly more scenes involving Natalia and Frankie to. I am excited about Natalia the most, it seems Shannon Kane is done filming SWAT 2 and she's fully available to the show now, I am really hoping they do something more with her...

Rylee in full force today...I am really curious what AMC will do about this. We have Madison leaning towards both Ryan and Frankie. Will it be Madison/Frankie/Randi or Madison/Ryan/Greenlee?

I agree, it was great to see more of them and sibling relationship. Hopefully their scenes don't come to a halt again.

Ugh I know. Their almost kiss made cringe. Agreed, Randi wouldn't stand a chance anyway and it's obvious that they're headed for a Rylee reunion leaving David and Madison to bite the dust. They'll probably finally do Madison/Frankie and Liza/David.

Shannon Kane is Cornelius and Shannon seem like real life brother and sister. Always love their honest and playful dialogue even though Frankie was lying his butt off about not being attracted to Madison. I see him cheating or coming close to it with Mads.

Agreed! Shannon is such a great actress and hopefully she'll be on more with Frankie and others around the canvas. I love how tight Natalia and Frankie are (especially form how they started out lol) and how playful they always are with each other. Yeah it was so clear that Frankie was lying. He wouldn't take his eyes off Madison.

I've wanted them to do Frankie and Madison for a while. I would find it more offensive if, in this day and age, they simply slotted them into the same tired Jesse/Jenny role which to me, while that was a fine friendship, always smacked of coming out of the institutional racism of the times. If he hadn't been black, they would've fucked.

It would be a better storyline and a fairer fight, and a better portrayal of a young black couple, if they would recast Randi with someone solid and give the character a fighting chance. But as it is, we've got Denise Vasi.

I actually like the possibilities of that story and of the Marissa/JR/Annie/Scott quad. They're both fairly tritely-written tales but they are holding my interest because of the simple, classic domestic drama ley lines in them that go back to very old soap opera. It's just the kind of stuff soaps should do, even if both Marissa and Randi are awful actors and poor Adam Mayfield is clearly dunzo when this ends.

I like the DM/DW performances but I find the Angie-baby story a bit silly. And I think Bobbie Eakes should be relegated to the role of lovable bar floozy, though I like her. Krystal is pointless other than her friendship with Caleb (who I actually like now, and I've always loved Michael Nouri). Any other role Krys currently fills on the canvas should be taken by Dixie.

While I think it's very stupid of them to do a Cortlandt/Chandler feud with Adam gone, I like aspects of that tale. And I think the show is shifting and Ryan, Kendall, Zach, Greenlee, etc. all seem very out of place on it.

Amen.

I at Frankie's financial problems. It's as if he's only limited to working at Pine Valley Hospital. Why can't he drive his butt over to Corinth or Center City and work at a hospital or clinic there?

That's what's been bothering me about this whole thing, too. It's not as if being a surgeon isn't a trade that travels.

Because he knows doing so would limit his rare airtime as it is.
