ICAM! I don't know what Stephanie Gatschet brings to the role, but somehow Cameron Mathison doesn't overact as much and seems genuinely happy in their scenes. Madison keeps making Ryan downright likeable and then Greenlee keeps showing up to turn him back into a tool!

Edit out the Ryan/Greenlee scenes and it was a fantastic episode!

I really appreciate 3 days in a row with a cliffhanger that makes me want to see more, as well. I hope TPTB keep this going.

Anyway, is it me, or are they doing every damn thing in this "WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES, PENNSYLVANIA" park?

Remember the days when it used to be something exciting and special when scenes took place outdoors? Now it's "let's have Ryan eavesdrop on David's phone conversation... ON LOCATION!!!" Or "Let's have Krystal do her 'When I Was Married to David' soliloquy for the 83rd time this year... ON LOCATION!!" And this park doesn't even look like a park in the middle of a colonial suburb.

I agree with MichaelGL that this should've been on the Chandler grounds. I'm choosing to believe that the show got some kind of economic break out of highlighting this park but the novelty needs to wears off soon since autumn is coming to Pine Valley and sunflowers in November aren't going to fly. This isn't OLTL. AMC's viewers can actually count.

I found it very disturbing how Madison had that apron on, looking a mess, making Ryan dinner. Just the way she was all determined to do it rubbed me the wrong way. AMC is turning her into a little housewife type girlfriend for Ryan and I don't like it. This woman used to be a straight evil biotch, and I see none of it these days. I was hoping AMC would find that balance but it seems like they aren't. I don't want to root for Ryan/Madison, if this is how Madison is going to act with him. She needs to be taking charge and kicking Greenlee's arse up a bit for how she's using Ryan these days. She is acting like everything is ok when it isn't. Now I just want her to leave Ryan for good and go run into Frankie's big, beefy arms and cry on his shoulder.

Everything surrounding the quad was great...awesome performances all around. Loved when JR showed up at the park and confronted Annie, and told her they were with the wrong people! The last scene with Scott/Annie/JR was fantastic....but ugh, Scott. I just don't like how Adam Mayfield acts. His facial expressions and how he can't keep a straight face just irks me! Loved seeing JR punch him out!

David/Greenlee have such a force, IMO. I think they work so well with each other, and they still can work if AMC would stop this nonsense! David was being real at the end when he said it felt like he had no one, Greenlee was really convincing when she said he had her, but we all know she was just faking it. I hate that because it really seemed real.

The only thing that would exceed this quad, is pulling Greenlee into this SL when Annie marries Scott and is Mrs.Scott Chandler, JR tries to get her off her mind and there's single ready to get Ryan off her mind Greenlee, causing Annie to get jealous, JR and Annie become endgame. Oh and Scott finds out Marissa is preggos. That would be awesome.

    • I can not see Kat as a police officer and do not want that for her. Thats not her passion nor does she care about that stuff. The stuff with Eva and Leslie is specific to her life and wanting to protect her family. Her "detective" skills have more to do with her business background, which makes her very analytical and pay close attention to details. If this show had a corporation, she'd make a shrewed businesswoman and CEO  
    • I would make Jan, Ashley's mom, Anita and Vernon's maid. It would lock in to why Leslie would choose to befriend both her and Mona. It also gives Ashley a connection to the Duprees and explains how she befriended Naomi. I would have had Derek start the show as a cop to explain his connection to Jacob. Kat needs to realize that she is MADE to be a detective. Have her go through police training, making the appropriate comments about the uniform along the way. Have her prove she is so much more than a rich princess, even to herself. Then, when Jacob's partner is proven to be dirty, Kat is assigned as Jacob's rookie trainee. At the same time, Naomi does finally get a case she can follow through on. Her client is a person that Jacob arrested. This puts them at odds because Jacob knows this person did it, as does Kat, but Naomi only sees the extenuating circumstances and believes he deserves a lighter sentence and a second chance. THAT is when Jacob will turn to Kat in frustration and she will lose her virginity to him. 
    • This opened my eyes and appeals to my logic. But, don't you also think that the fact that they are so ill-suited means that, by soap-opera-laws, they aren't a long term item?  I like how Belle is written now, so I appreciate the fact that she is in this story.  But, I don't believe anything will become of it, and I think EJ is going to mess it up very soon.  Which explains why I don't get too worked up over it. I'm also suspending my outrage until I see how EJ treats Belle during her mourning.  If he cheats with Cat, then we'll know that he was never meant to be happy.
    • Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.
    • The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
