AMC - Suggestions for AMC under Broderick

[Cheap21]

I prefer Obsidian for him. He's gay and he's going to take Asher away from ConstanceColby

[SFK]

"Ovah my, dead, BODY! ... Oh Asher, kiss me on my mouth as if we were lovers!"

[Eyespy]

I'd like to see Rex, Gigi & Shane make a fresh start for Shane in PV. Rex works with Tad as a P.I. and Gigi works at Krystal's. Shane gets a blank slate from the beasts in Llanview.

Love it

Now sure what you mean by "Dru-like Frankie/Randi spoiler" but can VR have an inappropriate attraction to Frankie and cougar him... no way Frankie can handle a real woman like VR but it would be fun seeing him trying to keep up with her

[DeeeDee]

Ew.

[Khan]

If any OLTL character should have a "fresh start" in Pine Valley, it should be Roxy, played by the brilliant Ilene Kristen.

[All My Shadows]

Check

mate.

Here are my ideas for a character portrayed by Victoria Rowell (ex-Drucilla, Y&R), should she come aboard AMC:

1. Introduce her as Dr. Sara Marshall, a family therapist who helps Greenlee, Madison, Ryan and Scott get through to Emma, who continues to have problems adjusting to Annie's absence and Greenlee's "intrusion" into her and Ryan's lives. Emma clearly wants her, Ryan and Madison to be a family, despite Ryan's constantly telling Emma that that isn't going to happen. When VR's character suggests a change of environment for Emma (away from Madison and Scott), Emma overhears, panics and runs away from home. Fortunately, Emma is found trying to visit Annie at the sanitarium - but not before the stress of the situation causes Madison to go into premature labor. (VR's character, who has been to medical school, is there to help Madison get to the hospital.) Ryan and Madison's baby is stillborn; and as Ryan welcomes the safe return of one child, he must also grieve the loss of another. Ultimately, Madison and Scott decide that leaving Pine Valley would be best for all concerned, allowing Ryan, Greenlee and Emma time to learn to be a family again.

2. As Sara continues working with the Laverys, at the same time, she becomes friendly with Jesse. By this point, the truth about the baby-switch has been revealed. Although Angie and Jesse are still together, their relationship is strained. As Angie finds an unlikely sympathetic shoulder in David, Jesse (and Frankie) turns more and more to Sara for help in reconciling with his wife. At the same time, too, Sara helps Jesse confront other issues (including his history of mental instability, as well as his past relationship w/ Rebecca) that might have contributed to his and Angie's problems. With Sara's guidance, Jesse sees that part of the problem lies in his need to make everything in life perfect for himself, for Angie, and for their family. He also sees that maybe he isn't cut out to be police chief, a first step toward his eventual re-transformation into nightclub owner. When Jesse decides to quit the force and re-open The Steam Pit, he shares the news with Sara, instead of Angie, as well as a kiss. Unfortunately, Angie, who shows up to share the wonderful news of her sight returning, walks in on the two and splits before either can stop her. Jesse and Sara agree that their kiss cannot go any further; however, Angie, devastated, ends up spending the night with David....

3. As soon as Angie learns that Jesse and Sara are not having an affair, she regrets her indiscretion with David. Angie tells Jesse the truth, but Jesse convinces her not to give up on their marriage. However, David is just as convinced Angie and Jesse do not belong together anymore (and he especially resents the intrusion of Tad, who still remembers how he (David) came between him and Dixie). As the rest of the Hubbards and others help Jesse prepare for his club's reopening, David attempts to find some way to sabotage the whole thing. Marissa catches onto her father, though, and begs him to allow Jesse and Angie to be together and at peace. David acquiesces for his daughter's sake, yet drops a major bombshell on Tad. On the night of the reopening, David tells Tad a secret he has been keeping for years and waiting for the perfect moment to level him with: Adam Chandler was wrong, and Kathy is not his and Dixie's daughter.

4. Although Tad loves Kathy very much, he must begin again the quest to find his missing child. Fortunately, Sara offers help in the form of her younger brother, Justin, an FBI agent who works with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. With his help, Tad learns "Kate" is being raised by a wealthy family in Washington, D.C., whose considerable affluence or clout (among other things, the family's patriarch sits on the board of directors at Chandler Enterprises) will nevertheless make it difficult to reclaim his daughter so easily. (Plus, there's the secret that the girl's adoptive father, and the patriarch's son, is sexually abusing her....) Meanwhile, Tad and Sara grow closer, but the road to romance proves rocky when Sara accidentally lets slip to Justin how Tad told her in confidence the part he played in Greg Madden's death. (Tad is arrested on charges stemming from that, adding further complications toward getting his daughter back, and leading Tad to his ultimate act of escaping from jail and abducting his own kid. Tad and "Kate," now on the run, settle in Oregon, with new identities, where he goes to work as a logger and meets a Dixie lookalike named Bekka.) And Justin as well creates tension within the Hubbard family when he and Randi become attracted to each other, leaving Frankie on the outs with Randi, and Angie on the outs with Sara.

[DRW50]

It sounds very dramatic, and I'd love to see the Steam Pit (they can use the Confusion set). I think there would be a lot of melodrama though if Angie/David ever happened...imagine the board reactions.

[R Sinclair]

Just the idea of even more Tad-spawned children... ((shudder))

[Steve]

I thought I was the only one who despised Trevor marrying Janet! I'm all for redemption, but I never could swallow Trevor sleeping with her after everything she put him & Natalie through.

As far as what stories Broderick should tell:

1. Rylee's breakup. The foundation is there with Greenlee getting Scott out of jail to date Madison. Now it's time for that secret to come out and Ryan to flash back to how Greenlee stalked him & Gillian years ago. He needs to let Greenlee know he could never love her like he did his true love.

2. Cortlandt versus Chandler. This story has fallen flat because Caleb's beef is with Adam, not JR, and it seems silly when both men work out of their homes instead of at the company. It's time for Fusion to fail so Kendall and Greenlee can find jobs at these companies, with Greenlee joining JR and Kendall Caleb & her mother. Let the games begin when JR notices how attractive his new employee is. Also, anytime Broderick can get Julia Barr and David Canary to make a guest appearance would only make the show better.

3. Jack & Erica need to marry and stay together! It's time for them to start working on being in a relationship and dealing with real life issues, like their health (did Erica even go through menopause?).

[Jonathan]

If the show ends, I'd rather see Erica not married. She can stay with Jack, but I'd rather see her unmarried.
