AMC: Friday October 22, 2010

[All My Shadows]

I liked Zora. I don't remember her being written as "SASSY!!!" as much as she was written as a by-the-book nurse who wasn't up for any of Laura and Leo's shenanigans. I was like 11 at the time, but always wanted to see more of her. First in a long line of characters like that for me...remember Janelle? They tried with her but gave up. Same thing with Kenny, and then they brought him back for pointless stupidity.

But this Leona...what the hell, AMC. I can't believe it. Ridiculous.

[Clear Drama]

Lets run down some of this.

I tried giving Zach/Kendall some love, but today's epi. my god, first the entrance for Zach was horrible. He looked like he'd rather be playing casino instead of seeing someone he misses. IDK that's the feeling I got and prbly what it gave some others. I honestly could have fell asleep to thier scenes tonight. What was special there, Zach's entrance? Kendall setting up his obvs. entrance or the 2 second carry in to the Slater home and then he put her down and acted completely disinterested. Then the couch scene, Ryan and Madison had more heat in a couch scene, but again I'm assuming that was on purpose. I just wasn't feeling anything for them past the foot in the bucket which I thought was funny then what followed was meh.

Kenlee's scene was wonderful, I srsly hate to love them, but Kendall and Greenlee have this bond that sucks you in even when you can't stand them. I feel like they should date. I'm actually being honest there, they act like they are each other's love of thier life. Still hope Kendall gets to slap her just once.

Madison is actually finally growing some type of brain functions. I'm glad she had that epiphany and walked out. S.O.B. doesn't deserve her. (yes I said that)

Greenlee and Ryan, again I don't like this pairing, can't stand the constant Friday cliffhangers w/ them, do they make you want to tune in Monday? I do like that he is sacrificing his life for her, least he could do.

Jackson you are Erica's carpet rug, but I love that you are defending your daughter by any means necessary. Even though she's an ungrateful brat, she's your ungrateful brat.

Liza, you make me put more middle fingers to any woman on screen and make me use the word bitch more times than my mother did w/ your mother. Welcome home, keep it going. Where was Damon? some asst. he is.

Jesse and Angie I love ya, but STFU. Angie atleast made it 50% her fault and not 100% David's, so I could tolerate her hate for David, David isn't solely to blame to her , Angie is also to blame, Angie said, b/c of David's cutbacks there were no gloves in the room and the specialist wasn't on the same floor, so it forced her to make a stupid decision. She's more pissed at her decision to save a life costing her sight and instead blames it on David. The acting by Debbie in that scene was so powerful..Darnell the point where his overacting got me ROFL, was when he slammed the table while Angie was saying "I hate him! I hate him!" watching Jesse's facial expressions of pain and anguish while hitting the coffee table had me rolling.

Nick Pearson, good actor. Srsly a good actor from what I saw.

Stella I mean Epiphany, I can't remember her name had to have "sassy, angry black woman" on her casting call sample script.

[Steve]

Darnell Williams should be barred from ever teaching acting again!

Debbi Morgan was great, as usual, but it was ridiculous how she blamed David, even 50%, when she could have waited to put on protective gear before treating the kid.

I loved Madison figuring out what Ryan was doing and telling him off.

Zzzzendull were as boring as always. Thank goodness for Leona being there to lighten the scene.

The courtroom scenes would have worked better imo if we viewers hadn't been clued in 2 weeks ago as to who Nick was and what he was going to say. As much as I wanted to see Greenlee turn on Ryan (which I know won't last unfortunately), it had the potential to be a powerful shocker.

Another disappointing Rylee cliffhanger. Once again, the damn show gives us no incentive to tune in on Monday!

[Clear Drama]

She couldn't. It was said the kid had little time left, the specialist was at another floor. The gloves weren't there, she sent an orderly to get the gloves and find the specialist, if Angie would have clocked out and not seen that kid, he'd be dead. If Angie waits for the specialist, the kid would be dead, if Angie waits for the gloves, the kid still would be dead. She had to treat him immediately or he would have died.

Me too.

I honestly felt like I was watching Rylee redux there. Yehhhhhhhhhh

LOL.

[Jonathan]

It's really that damn kid's fault for getting Angie blind. Next time go to Corinth Hospital.

[R Sinclair]

Sh, go to the Front Street clinic. I'm sure they definitely have gloves with all the drug addicts, rape victims, stab wounds and abortions they do.

But, seriously. David, well within his rights, cut the budget. Big deal. It happens in hospitals all across the country in a thing called a RECESSION! Angie ANGELA, being the best damn chief of staff this hospital has ever seen, is responsible for running the hospital. It still falls on her for not making sure that, even with the budget cuts, she still had a hospital that was able to have its nurses and doctors treat patients safely. Without taking the proper precautions, she could've not just infected herself, but any one of the staff that was around her at that time. It was totally irresponsible of her. She needs to just own it and move the hell on. I mean, seriously. What does she want David to do? Die for making her blind?! OOOPS!

Get over it.

[Cheap21]

There being no gloves in the room is completely IRRELEVANT to why Angie got infected. She was infected bc she rubbed her hands on her eye. Even with gloves on, the blood would have STILL been on her fingers when she touched her eye. Instead of being on her skin, it would be on the glove, but it would still make contact with her. That was a CARELESS action that is 100% Angie's fault, but that is ignored and everyone jumps to the conclusion that David's budget cut blinded her. Bitch, please

[DeeeDee]

It's ok.

His wife was too busy trying to get herself thrown in jail to miss him either.

Until GreenPea decides Kendall has sinned again.

She will be back.

And on the plus side?

The Gut Is Dead.

[alexisfan07]

I thought Friday's episode was ok. But seriously, the Rylee crap and subsequent crappier "ciffhangers" are what's doing in the ratings. I'm 100% confident on that.

[R Sinclair]

What a martyr!

He died so that blind idiotic doctors and queened out police chiefs may live to whine another day!

[Marley]

I thought Debbie Morgan was as bad as DW....ok maybe not quite as bad as Darnell but she did some major scenery chewing and over acting as well.

The Rylee crap and the "amazing" non dramatic Rylee friday cliffhangers is the sole reason why this show is suffering in the ratings. AMC did good, had some stability (a word unknown to OLTL) but once they started the Rylee barf fest and promoting it, the ratings started dipping.

[DeeeDee]

If The Gut's Death didn't bring up ratings nothing will. LOL

[R Sinclair]

Oh, no, she's definitely no stranger to pulling up to the table and chomping down on a hearty helping of scenery herself. Breasts heaving, huffing and panting, fallin' out like she testifyin' on a Sunday mornin'. But I can accept that from her, for some reason.

There's just something about Misster Nellie's queened out, overly dramatic theatrics -- on even the simplest things -- that makes me wish Denise Vasi and JR Martinez would trick him into attending whatever acting classes they go to.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

I loved their little scene to & I get what you mean about hating to love them. I feel the same way to. Definitely don't agree about them dating though, LOL. But yeah I liked their scene, their friendship is not so bad but I have to admit I look forward more to the snarky altercations between them than the nice ones. lol.

[EricMontreal22]

I know this is kinda a back handed complement, but I love Debbi's classic soap opera heroine acting. It's a lost art. I don't hate Darnell as much as some--sometimes I think he's brilliant, but I have to agree in this case (this plot point lost me--Angie had been going on for eons about how David hadn't stocked the cupboards, and Jesse NEVER heard till now?)

What's frustrating about AMC right now is SOO much is the best it's been in *years*. Yet it's easily fixed things like Rylee, the crap Friday cliffhanger, etc, that's bringing it down.
