I thought Aidan/Annie had some potential and was helpful to her character at a time when they were transitioning her. I did think the writing was poor. Annie/Adam I never cared for because it came across as just the show cuckolding Adam with yet another woman who would probably get tired of him and move on to someone younger.

Aidan was horrible with Annie. One minute he was out to set her up and destroy her and the next he was trying to be her savior. He kept going back and forth with that. Aidan's character was a mess by that point as they started writing him evil with no real motivation or clear goal of where they wanted to go with the character. He'd hurt her and then get her to be solely dependent on him. It was a very unhealthy relationship and he took advantage of her. Worse, he had sex with her while she was mentally ill in an institution which under some circumstances could be considered rape. This was definetly his worse pairing as it did more damage to his character than any of the others. Any shred of decency he had prior to this went out the window

Yeah, that's why I agreed it was poorly written. I thought the story was interesting in the earlier stages when he was her main defender but once she found Adam the night Stuart died the writing shifted.

The whole sex thing was awful but I don't really think the show saw it that way. Mentally ill women having sex seems to be some sign of virile men by ABC Daytime standards.

no the writing wasnt good from the very beginning. Aidan was doing his back and forth with his personality from the moment he got involved with Annie. By the time she connected with Adam, they were pretty much done. The months prior to that of him were a mess. He was her main defender while being one of her victimizers. He came across manipulative and controlling. She was mentally sick so it was disgusting watching him play her and then the next want her.

The writing was never good - it was Pratt - I just thought the initial stuff of Annie in that place and Sheridan Crane as her evil doctor and Aidan trying to help her was interesting, especially since at that time everyone else hated her.

Aidan was a great character

Cheap, PLEASE!

Aidan was a great character

LOLs com'on Cheap! A great character?

and had amazing chemistry with Kendall, Di and Amanda. I really didnt think he started to go downhill till they paired him with the boring Anita and then Erin. The Annie stuff pretty much ruined him

Kendall and Aidan were hot, made sense, Amanda and him was a joke, Di was a rebound but Giddish and him had chem. Anita was wasted on him, Erin *OMG I just remembered that, I always thought of Josh w/ her before Aidan* Aidan was a horrible character, when they broke up Ailee which only worked w/ Sabine's Greenlee it was over, it got to a point where Annie and him weren't believeable at all in any way.

bc it makes her look like a hypocrite. If there's another custody dispute regarding AJ, JRs lawyer can use the fact that she herself supported that a child should be with its biological parent over adoption

Not much of a sway in court there.

Dont play her up. The character played by Natalia Cigluiti was boring. I liked her at first based on the history with Bobbie as I loved them in the 90s, but she barely made an impression when she returned with a new actress. She wasnt that interesting

I'm not. She had so much potential, but they got lazy w/ her. Natalie was gorgeous, spunky, but they limited her to being a watered down doctor. She was interesting, had potential, that went down the drain when they couldn't even focus a s/l on the Warners. Her character makes more sense than some of the remaining, ala Krystal & Marissa who pretty much have added to ruining AMC ever since they arrived.

The British accent managed to fool Cheap! Smacks Cheap upside the head. Wake up!

People are even criticizing his YT commercial ad, that's how bad he is at acting.

David and Liza are hot but I REALLY hope they dont turn her into a victim. Thats been a problem with all his pairings since Anna. They make him out to be this big bad pig adn controller with his women helpess victims to him. I thought he finally had an equal in Greenlee but they turned her into one of his victims as well and it all went downhill. They need to keep Liza strong and fierce and not have David victimize her in this relationship.

That's exactly why I was on board with a Greenlee/David pairing. She seemed to be someone who knew exactly who he was and accepted it. As a matter of fact, it's the precise reason she chose

to marry him -- then suddenly, she's appalled by his devious tendencies and becomes his victim -- wonk, wonk. I just don't want this happening with Liza -- but considering the same people who dismantled Greenlee and David are writing this... I'm still afraid to tune in.

I actually liked them better than Greenlee and Leo.

That was the only time I enjoyed Jake in any form... and I was also into them as a couple more than Greenlee and Leo -- who had run their course by this point.

I am sitting here APPLAUDING this.

Thank you.

I know I risk some serious flak for even bringing him up--but I liked the chemistry between Josh And Greenlee--they seemed to be thinking of something, I remember them stuck in an elevator, etc, but then nothing...

You're confused, babes. Leo and Greenlee, not Josh and Greenlee. Josh Duhamel was the actor and Leo was the character.

Don't tune in if that's the case. Liza seeking him is all about Colby hating her and her wanting payback on Erica, it won't last. Tad will prbly be back in her life in the remaining mths. after he loses Cara.

Ugh! Tad'll probably lose Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald because he'll be too busy meddling. Isn't that always the way? He's never interested in a woman until David (or Adam) has her. Then he neglects the woman he's involved with to obsess over the woman HE DUMPED! Thank you for reminding me... I totally forgot about the Tad Factor.

^This is my real problem with David and Liza. And you're right, as soon as he loses Cara, he'll be interfering in Livid. That's when David will get horrible, obsessive, nasty. But right now, they're actually quite good together. Yes, she's using him to help her take down Erica (not likely the best move, but we'll see how that works out), but if he can do this ie. help her without going to the lengths he did with Greenlee, I think Liza will really start to come around.

That is, until Tad is back sniffing around.

Bianca, why are you being stupid? Reese is about to take away both of your children and you're not going to use your biggest ammunition?

Prbly b/c she fears big bad JR will take away Saint Marissa's biological son AJ.
