AMC Tribute Thread

I agree but something happened along the way.

Megan is more like JER to Days when it comes to AMC. He too had some good stuff (probably with the help of other writers as well), but there was a bunch of bad too. He had quite the persona too.

This is very encouraging and positive to read.

Thank you. And I also... can't wait to reach Agnes episodes. I have never watched an entire Agnes episode in my life. Only short clips.

You're welcome! I adore Robin. Skye was one of the first characters that got me interested in the show. It was a bit odd and eccentric to see her obsess over her uncle's engagement and her dislike of Cindy... but I love pathological characters like this. Sometimes a girl doesn't need that much motivation to be wretched. I also liked the extremes she went to... in order to stop Cindy and Stuart's marriage. It felt like spiraling into the dark side. She connected herself with dangerous people and groups... bigots, haters... And she paid the price for it.

They were normalizing her for a while now. For nearly half a year, she's been nothing more than a boring background player. Filler material. Especially since they re-wrote her and Travis's emerging romance into... nothingness (Thank God). But now... for the past 2-3 weeks I feel the reckless Skye of 1988 is awoken again. I would not be surprised if they deliberately made it seem that it's TOO OBVIOUS for her to be the kidnapper... and in the end... the most obvious answer ends up the right one. 

We'll find out very soon, I hope. With the pace this show goes with... I'm sure we'll know pretty soon.

And let me do what I promised... and comment on the Trevor/Marissa fiasco that is happening right now.

Just as she (Marissa) was about to achieve her goal in destroying Natalie and Jeremy's marriage... her accomplice Trevor... messed it all up. And he basically sexually assaulted her - extorted her into sleeping with him. No woman, even as wicked as Marissa is... deserves this, btw. She did not want to sleep with him, tried to escape this so many ways, but he managed to force her into it. In the end her even video-taped all of it... so he can continue to extort her. 

I'm starting to think that Marissa has no option left... other than to... kill Trevor off. We'll see. One thing I can give the show is that this storyline started incredibly messy, absurd and boring... but somehow they cleaned it up, made it edible and more realistic and thanks to the amazing... STUNNING actress that plays Marissa - Nancy Addison... the storyline works.

Wow. I never knew this side of "Unca Porkchop", wearer of interesting neckwear, Timmy's dad, Haley's uncle, Janet's something I think.

I always liked Gloria and I was so annoyed when the character was allowed to just fade away.  

Maurice Benard was extremely sexy at some points. I think the fact that Sonny has been shoved down viewers' throats for decades has removed all of that.

Thanks again @Maxim . I knew of Trevor starting out bad but didn't know about the coercion with Marissa (although I imagine many would have said it was no big deal...). He looks so grimy there - Kiberd does play up all the slime. I wonder who saw in him the chance of playing a more heroic version of the character.

He was on AW playing a psycho (a more cleaned up version) not long before this.
