I forgot to mention: WTF is with Jacob Young's hair? He looks terrible. My dad said he looks like Justin Bieber.

Ofcourse she does, she doesn't know! You seriously believe the same woman that called that house TOXIC is ok w/ JR and Annie being involved? Come on not even you believe that. Why do you think this custody crap first started? It's b/c she didn't believe he could be w/ Annie and be a good father to AJ and be JR Chandler business CEO. But Annie was the hugest factor, look the bitch is even trying to get her fired.

Do you know when JR was actually broken about losing Cortlandt that same Marissa came around the holidays bullsh!ting him about being there for people, when it was her who helped Scott take Cortlandt from him and bring down 1/2 of Chandler. She's not vengeful? she's not as much as a liar?

Had it been Britanny Allen's Marisas than yea, now but this new girl seems to be alot more confident with her self. The writing HAS shifted since the recast. Even you pointed it out when you said they are writing Annie differently toprop Marissa and JR. This Marissa isnt portrayed like the jealous mess that BA's take on the character is. If she found out about JR and Annie, no I dont believe she would flip out the way the character did 2 months ago. That doesnt seem to be what they want for her now going forward

To do what! Take his son! HIS SON! I can't even believe I have to explain this.

Do you realize that little red hefer has been using AJ as a dangling carrot, would you say the same crap if Ryan did that stuff to Annie w/ Emma, you know it's coming the minute Annie and JR gets together, custody battle on the other side, b/c now Annie isn't mother material.

Again, thats how they were portraying the old Marissa. This Marissa hasnt been all about using AJ as a weapon for payback. It wouldnt fit with ehr character anyway, considering JR got the upperhand a while ago and all she could do was sit around and wait for him to make a move.

How is he treating her like crap? he doesn't want to do this, they knew it wasn't going to be easy. Look JR has one objective, end this tug of war w/ AJ, and he can't do that if Marissa finds out about Annie and him, because no matter who is the actress playing Marissa she does not approve of that RL and doesn't want AJ anywhere near that. GOD JR isn't causing Annie's sanity to get loss, everyone else is. Tad telling her to beat it, Amanda giving her doubts, Ryass putting doubts in her head and JR's. This isn't JR.

Do I have to explain? Annie has been a neoruitc, jealous mess bc JR keeps blowing her off, keeping her in hiding, forcing her to live a lie and treating her like the cheap mistress. Thats driving her crazy. Annie is not happy with JR. She wants to be but he's making her more miserable instead. The tug of war for AJ is over. They signed joint custody and the battle is over. What else needs to be done now? Does he come forward about Annie when AJ is 18 and custody is no longer an issue? Theonly thing left now is to just be honest and deal with the fallout bc its gonig to happen eventually. JR is only making things worse for Annie, delaying it

Why is it that characters/actors that I don't really like finally BRING IT to the point where I'm digging the character/actor... but just as they are filming their last scenes ever? Damon was on FIRE today, and Finn Whatever was GOOD.

Loved Erica/Liza... so much love for that little rivalry.

Had it been Britanny Allen, nothings changed, Sarah G. is louder and snaps her neck that's all. Annie is written as a women who is doing something she never has. She's in love and doesn't want to lose another guy. This Marissa is portrayed hiding her jealous. The difference w/ this Marissa shown is she believes JR and Annie are over. Nothing has changed there. She catches them making out or Annie on top of JR she snaps into unreasonable/irrational/bitter Marissa.

Again, thats how they were portraying the old Marissa. This Marissa hasnt been all about using AJ as a weapon for payback. It wouldnt fit with ehr character anyway, considering JR got the upperhand a while ago and all she could do was sit around and wait for him to make a move.

How does changing the actress change the writing, it's the same. This Marissa has been using AJ as a weapon. She still you are missing it.

JR: I have zero interest in her

Marissa: Then if that's true maybe you should let her go from Chandler

JR: She does good work

Marissa: So good she's indespenseable?

JR: Marissa I don't see any reason to fire her

JR: Do you trust me?

Marissa: I'm trying...

WTF does that have to do w/ anything? is it her business? again it's about her not wanting Annie around him, you keep on missing that. He reveals him and Annie before she signs they are going to court, JR knows that's how she is. She's jealous of Annie, nothing has changed.

Yes she's not happy w/ that, JR isn't happy w/ that either but selfishly he wants her. The tug of war w/ AJ isn't over. What part of that don't you get? Marissa believes Annie and JR fizzled out, that's why she is being reasonable, the minute she suspects JR and Annie are still doing what they are doing the truce is over.

See you are way too emotional w/ this, is it JR's fault his ex. wife/current is using AJ?? No it isn't. That bitter bitch is using it as leverage in his life. Nothing has changed, she saw the holidays w/ no Annie making out in her spot in that house, that's all that changed, that's why she went to Scott and was all "I believe JR is good again" JR isn't making the fallout worse, it's not his fault he has to go this length. This started w/ Marissa and it will bite everybody in the end.

AMC has rocked this week: funny, campy, contemporary...but Friday's episode was horrible, mostly because Kate Simon Hall's dialog sucked weanie...wow was the dialog bad. If Hall wrote a better script, she should post her original on facebook to prove she didn't write that crap. Some of the quips and asides were idiotic. And Jordi isn't pulling off the Dr. McDreamy thing. He needs to be a thug with a heart of gold, that's the part he knows how to play. He has no chemistry at all with Kendall....other than he seems like a caring little brother. He had a bit of chemistry with Greenlee and Madison (although Tammy/Madison can't act either). They need to kill off Madison and move Griff in another direction. Kendall needs a tall, young Jackson type after Zach. Not this boytoy...

I forgot to mention: WTF is with Jacob Young's hair? He looks terrible. My dad said he looks like Justin Bieber.

ALOT of people are starting to look like Bieber. I have two friends who are always complaining about the kid, yet their hair strangely is really starting to look like his

How does changing the actress change the writing, it's the same.

...? I'm sure the #1 reason why a soap recasts someone is because they want to "take the character into a different direction." That means they're going to change the way they're writing the character, and they feel the current player wouldn't be able to pull it off.

Come on, this is Soap Opera 101.

And JR's hair looks like ass.

Yes recasting can and has changed writing for characters. Recasting to take the character in a another direction. Thats what they tend to say and soaps have been doing it for decades. Again, you yourself mentioned the change in writing for this story but arent acknowledging it, I guess bc it doesnt strengthen your current point.

JR: I have zero interest in her

Marissa: Then if that's true maybe you should let her go from Chandler

JR: She does good work

Correct me if Im wrong, but did JR and Marissa, not sign papers for joint custody? That would mean that the tug of war is over.

Now Im emotinoal? This coming from the JR/Annie fanatic who gets all worked up bc I have something contrary to say about the couple and the character of JR?

EXACTLY! As I mentioned, soaps have been doing this for decades. Its nothing new and basic Soap 101, as you said. How many times have we seen characters start acting differently once recasted. There are too many examples to list

I agree, his hair looks like it sleeps on the bureau. This style gives him a very plastic Ken Doll look.

I think I may be one of the few that actually likes JR's hair fine just the way it is. I dont see anything bad about it at all. It looks good. With all the hate you guys are giving it, remember it has looked worse. He could still look like this

No I'm acknowledging Marissa is given more attitude, the situation of her being spiteful hasn't changed. That's why people aren't buying this Marissa. That's why they think she was recasted not on her acting strength but just b/c she's a prettier face. Nothing has changed in the S/L

And exactly how does this equate to Marissa using AJ as a weapon?

How does it not? her basis is JR minus Annie = good dad, JR plus Annie = bad father.

Correct me if Im wrong, but did JR and Marissa, not sign papers for joint custody? That would mean that the tug of war is over.

You need to be corrected, they didn't, she gave him the papers, they haven't signed a thing.

Now Im emotinoal? This coming from the JR/Annie fanatic who gets all worked up bc I have something contrary to say about the couple and the character of JR?

Yes I am a fan of JR/Annie.. just like you were w/ Scott/Annie and defended everything I called Scott out on, from hypocrite, to spiteful, to a rat and bad actor. I like JR and Annie is there something against that? and I've called JR out for some things before, not recently b/c I don't see what underhanded thing that he doesn't need to do that he is doing to someone. If anything he's going soft on this chick.

P.S. I get worked up? I hear everyone saying JR is treating Annie like crap, and this and that..I haven't said much, I let it be said then I add my 2 cents. You know I haven't heard much pro JR talk here, it's ok to be contrary, I won't diss people much on that, but hearing Marissa as some freaking saint in this, I'm sorry I do take that personal when I know what she's been all about. Which it has been and still is using AJ to hurt JR b/c he can't get away from part of the reason her marriage to JR crumbled. And when a character does that, I go medieval cold on them. Just like I did w/ Caleb.

He looks like the guy from ATWT who they also used to say looked like Brad Pitt. JY's had a history of some crazy hair, just like his onscreen mama. Do you remember his B&B/GH days with those gravity defying 'dos? When your hair is nine inches long it should NOT be gelled straight up.

He's had worse. But I actually like the Bieber cut on him, JR is a Chandler, they are showing him transitioning from immature, rich daddy's boy, snot nose, ungrateful punk, to powerful, quick learning, priviledged, silver spoon, self-entitled, selfish, arrogant S.O.B. button pushing, punk.

He will never escape the comparisons to Brad Pitt, it's always been w/ him.

Nor do I think he would ever TRY to escape them.

I wouldn't want him to. Rebecca Budig was once compared to Alicia Silverstone.
