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.

LOLs com'on Cheap! :lol: A great character?

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.

Not much of a sway in court there.

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.dry.gif

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.

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.

Thank you. :)

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

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. :mad:

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
