AMC: SOD Spoilers


Recommended Posts

This is from the "Best and Worst" issue for this year. Credit goes to DontStare for posting these at Soapcentral:

Cara debuts on 12/9. CS enthuses that she's happy that she and RPG are getting rich material. Cara (Jake's ex-wife) and Amanda encounter each other at Confusion. Cara realizes who Amanda is, but Amanda has no idea who Cara is. Cara is not happy that Jake's moved on notes LH. Hartley says she's not used to playing confident which Cara is. They're going to do flashbacks of Jake/Cara's romance which LH thinks is cool. CS was a little shaken by it, she's not used to seeing her man macking on another lady. Bobbie Eakes loves on LH big-time in the casting section.

Madison is pregnant - which SG says she saw coming, lol. She gets the news after telling Ryan to get out of her life. She's shocked and confused. She doesn't know if she's going to tell Ryan. She knows he'd want to help but... She then learns Rylee has moved in together - she's alone and pregnant & they're shakcing up.

There's a picture of Eddie Matos (Father Ricky) at the Slater home in front of a shrine (I think it's the memorial) of Zach/Zendall pictures. In the casting section, AM chats about him - talks about how cute he is (she knew him through Terri I.) and talks about the ease w/them working together.

New Father Clarence (Michael McCarthy) will do this years batch of Christmas miracles. AM says she misses Malachy so much but Michael did a terrific job.

VI is back if you didn't know (Allen is out as his daughter on 12/17, who he'll miss). There's a long interview with him. He talks about the Facebook, etc outcry over his exit. Him and the show had renegotiated months before the story in preperation so the "negotiations" thing was part of the ruse. He talks about how relieved he is to finally be able to stop with the secrecy. Some people knew, some didn't (on set) - they were ordered to keep quiet. He was called Sawyer (LOST) in the return scripts/calltimes. He was surprised that David was shot, thinks it's a bit ungrateful of the PVites. Adds that your always solidly on the show only through the next arc, and he for sure is.

Best Special Episode: AMC's 40th

Best Couple: Jack and Erica

Worst Couple: Ryan and Greenlee

Worst Recast: Eden Riegel, Y&R

Worst Short-Term Return: Zach

Biggest Waste of Talent: Tad

Best Use of History: Brooke & Adam

Most Improved Show: AMC (They basically compare it to Pratt's lightning speed and total lack of respect; credit to Broderick and even to D&D for making AMC feel much more like AMC)

So the Rylee Express has claimed another victim, eh? That's tragic. I mean, I don't care for Madison, but nobody deserves to be crushed under the weight of that illogical couple.

Here are the SOW spoilers as well. Credit also goes to DontStare for posting these spoilers at Soapcentral:

Gatschet notes that you don't get to see Madison's immediate reaction to pregnancy. It's the ending of one episode, next episode she's working furiously at Fusion. Frankie tells his shocked bud that you can't just ignore it. Deciding whether or not to tell Ryan will be a long-process. He's moved on and she's feeling like he doesn't really deserve a say in her decisions here. Madison does tell Randi about the baby after they run-in to each other and they share a sweet friendship moment. SG notes that Randi lost a baby about a year ago and it might have been Mady's fault and it's acknowledged slightly but the scenes are to show they're at a better place now.

JR Martinez is interviewed about Brot/Natalia. Brot stops chasing Natalia which scares her b/c she thinks she's losing him. So she has to step up and tell him what's going on with her. She does. It's a touching moment. JR wants Brot to become a kickbutt detective in 2011 & he hopes they're not just going to put B/N together to break them up.

Wk of 12/6

Amanda questions Jake about his attitude with Griff

Erica warns Greens to stay away from her daughter

Zach's memorial service

Kendall suspects Griffin no longer has the green Zach gave him for the MC

Rylee move in together

Caleb and Asher grow closer

12/10: Cara/Amanda bump into each other

Wk of 12/13 Tad has a warning for Cara. Madison tells Frankie her decision. Annie tears apart her room in a rage.

MISS: The Chandler/Cortland blood fued. JR and Caleb are not Adam and Palmer. JR is an immature, shallow, selfish mess and Caleb is a newbie. The talks about how Palmer/Adam happened over decades and how complex their characters were. JR and Caleb both need to "grow" before they're even close to that.

MAIL: A fan thinks AMC should have divorced Z/K, expresses unhappiness w/writers interview. Rylee haters/Zendall lovers loud and proud.

Predictable as all heck, but AMC's editor loves that David's back.

There's an Erica/Jack/Caleb YOU DECIDE poll up at the SOW site.

I also think it's unfortunate that Ryan is having children with almost everyone except the woman that he loves. And I could see Madison coming off as extra pitiful in this storyline. At least in the beginning. Maybe she will find a man that will end up supporting/loving her through and after this pregnancy storyline.

I think that this storyline would have come off better if Ryan still had romantic feelings for Madison/possibly in love with her as well. I think it would have better if he was torn between both Greenlee and Madison romantically.

Or they could have went the route of having Madison scheme against him/Greenlee while pregnant with his child. But I don't really want to see that happen and I don't think that will happen. Even though I am not looking forward to seeing Madison acting really pitiful either.

I really love VI for this. He's candid about the manipulations of ABC instead of giving some bullshit cloak and dagger response ala Brandon Buddy and Trevor St John. Everyone and their mama knew David wasn't really dead and it's past time Frons and his posse stop insulting viewer intelligence.

The Cara stuff sounds good. I can't wait to see LH on the show. I hope AMC has no plans to hook Cara and Jake back up. Also hope that Cara doesn't just interact with Jake, Amanda, & Griffin. I could see LH mixing it up with the rest of the cast as well so I'm crossing my fingers that's what'll happen.

My only hope for this Madison storyline is that she's really pregnant with Frankie's child. I'm going to pay close attention to Frankie in his scenes with Madison in the coming weeks....here's hoping something else went on the night of Caleb's party, & Madison was to drunk to remember. But Frankie does and he's keeping it a secret. The fact that Madison and Randi bond over this a little bit, and Randi's miscarriage is mentioned during all of it, gives me a little hope....it would be perfect if Madison was having Frankie's baby. Randi would just not have it! She lost his child and now Madison is having it. lol that would just be awesome to watch...

Agreed with SOD about Zach's returns being the worst. MEK/Tad waste of talent? hm I actually think the show did great with him earlier in the year with the Damon storyline. Things have fizzled though and Tad has barely been on. I wish AMC would bring Hillary back and explore more of the Damon/Tad/Hillary angle of things. Damon and Liza need to sleep together & the show needs to bring back Marion to and just stir the pot and mine story!!

AMC was the most improved soap IMO. I agree with SOD. The show really has gotten better. I think from February to July AMC was really on the right track. August things started to get pretty rocky but I don't think it's to bad now. It could be a lot better though. I was thinking about LB's writing for AMC from Feb-May, and it was so good...Natalia actually had somewhat of a story under her. LB created Ryan/Madison, a pairing I think a lot of people actually liked! Loved what she did with Damon & Tad. It was genius to put JR & Annie together. Brooke & Adam were great. David and Greenlee were great. AMC was really getting better I think...

ITA about VI. I understand being obligated to lie but I can't stomach the ones who keep lying afterward. However you are so wrong about people knowing that David wasn't dead. I was shocked by the number of people on the AMC Facebook page who thought he was really gone. Of course 90% of those people seem functionally illiterate to begin with.

For all the people hoping it's Frankie's baby I just want to ask, what network are YOU watching this show on? Because I'm watching it on ABC and that's just not going to happen. I really would like to subscribe to the special feed of AMC where Frankie Hubbard is something other than a backburnered dayplayer.

    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.  
    • It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either. Draper and Logan are frequently rivals in the courtroom.  FYI --- Draper is also Raven's step-brother (her mother married his father). Raven's real name is Charlotte. But, one day [she] was sitting on the lawn and saw this beautiful black bird with shiny wings fly by. [She] wanted to be that bird. So beautiful. So free. With beautiful black wings…"    @chrisml you'll hear that story soon, and I envy you getting to see it the first time.
    • There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you! 
    • Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.
    • That's right Anita! Let her have it!
