It's interesting she says that as I'm not sure what it really means...? Surely AMC as a show was already suited for the '90s, based on its core theme. Unless she meant generic and trying too hard (as a lot of '90s material did, especially in daytime)?

 

AMC of 1986-1987 is stuff that holds up very well and could easily do well today. After that it moves further and further away...which also seems to be around the time she started taking over. 

 

I will credit her with part of 1995 being very good though.

AMC was becoming so dark and ugly by that point in Megan McTavish's first run.  Stories like the Carter Jones saga were just SO sensational (in a bad way) and watching scenes with characters literally yelling each other did not help.

I liked the show in the early to mid 90s.  It still felt like AMC to me.

 

I stopped liking it in 1998 and the propping of certain characters even though the acting choices and actions of those certain characters made me question the propping.

 

I still liked the Natalie in a well story...it led to Dimitri/Edmund and wildwind...as well as erica/Dimitri as well as edmund/maria.  

 

Back then stunts like that led to long term fall out...and weren't just used for ratings stunts or Emmy stunts (ahem Brad bell..bold and the beautiful)

      I'm not intrigued by Cat.  I find her annoying.  I just ... no.

      RIP Chris Robinson- his Jason Frame was one of AW’s better villains.  Jason’s murder mystery was one of AW’s best- practically the entire cast was a suspect!

      She might be using Anita like she planned to do before. If so, I suspect Tracy is not in on it. I'm not sure if this was revealed yet - I didn't watch 6/11 yet.

      I feel like they have already been rested as it is. I've rarely seen a cancer story for a major character treated as casually as it was with Alfie. I would probably write him out and have Kat on her own as they seem to have no ability to write for a serious Alfie or to rein Shane in.

      I hate to say it: but, at this point, I'd marry off Alfie and Kat, and then rest them off-canvas for a period of time.

      Oh, I hear what you're saying. People these days will follow anyone whether they have substance or not.

      @Liberty City @MichaelGL I could believe the possible spoiler about another landlady as Kat seems likely temporary/placeholder to me.  I don't hate the idea of Kat being in the Vic, especially as the overhyped drag parody that is Elaine (even if they have belatedly tried to humanize her) and dullard George and his dull children do nothing for me. I just wish Kat was in a stronger place. They have shown so little of her in the last few years in stories that should have been stronger than they are, and it's not just because of Jessie's suspensions or injury breaks.

      Yep, when Kim was bonked over the head during the harrowing tornado, she was in love with that grinning, happy, big-haired Dan who looked as though he belonged on The Brady Bunch.  (Reilly) By the time she finally regained her memory fully and shook herself free of John Dixon (didn't she get pregnant with Andy during all of this?), she was stuck with that sad-eyed, grouchier Dan who'd been Dan several years earlier (Colenback).  The Bolivia trip was probably the switchover.

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      I'm clinging to the fact that it was Jill in charge when GV last got "treatment" from GH. Praying he has no reason to blame Frank. Love2Hate Drew seems multiple choice: redemption or discovery of his not-Drewness which means they've got Drew tucked somewhere, probably where NotBritt has been kept. I have only one thing to say about JJ. Clearly he has a future in PR or politics. Who knew he could tell a tale so well?
