I think it's because this is the first time the writers have take Erica really deep into soap cliche territory (ya know...evil twins, back from the dead). The character always seemed immune from these types of plot devices, and I think it was deliberate on the part of TPTB, who saw the character as kind of sacred. Taking her this route just reeks of desperation IMO.

I know what you're referring to. It reminds me of the time Another World did this with Rachel/Justine. When I saw the promos for that storyline I thought it was a desperate move and I remember saying to myself that if All My Children did that with Erica, it would be the end of the world.

So many Idiots! 3 Idiots go into a building then kaboom.

3 Idiots again, Ryan, Scott, Greenbitch.

JR-Idiot for saying Asher can't go with Caleb. Then again, Asher should have stayed with JR.

FIXED!

^ Yes, that's what I meant.

"Your rescuers are too close for comfort."

Which, of course, I heard as "Your rescuers are Too Close for Comfort."

Well of course. Do you know I make i+ my business +o ca+ch i+ on An+enna jus+ so I can lis+en +o +he +heme?

Looks like Rev. Ricky go+ his mop +hinned ou+. Frankly, Griffin is only a smidge less of a creep in my book. When he and Kendall hugged i+ looked like he wan+ed +o suck her hair.

Wha+ I am wondering is wha+ in +he hell is gonna happen +o +he REAL Erica when Jane is +he one rescued. Is one of +he henchman going +o keep her cap+ured? I guess i+ is safe +o say +ha+ she will no+ have amnesia and roam +he ear+h because she is Erica Kane af+erall.

You need to stop posting until you get a new keyboard.

The Real Erica will be under lock and key with Dixie and Zach.

Unabortion. I think that trumps any of those soap cliches you mentioned and Erica is the only character that any writer has ever had the balls to go there with as far as I can recall

Yeah, after the unabortion, nothing is off limits for Erica or anyone.

Technically, I think Kendall has gone longer. When she married Zach, she broke off the friends-with-benefits-thing she had going with JR in June 05 - and she and Zach didn't consummate until May of 06.

Yes, but no one was presumed dead then. Death brings out the ho.

Does Kendall even give two craps her mother has been kidnapped? The hacks are writing it like she doesn't give a crap about anyone but Dr. Dull, ugh. You suck K&S, LB & AN can't take over fast enough

She still has yet to care that the heart inside her chest is from her brother that Zach intentionally murdered. Her mother being kidnapped? Oh, pishaw. Small potatoes.

Technically, a huge reason why Kendall cares about Griffin is because he's helping her take down Ricky, who "killed" Zachass, so technically...she's brushing off Erica for Zach. And yall know I don't need another reason to hate Zach.

Can't wait to see Fakeica/Jane today.

An evil twin for Erica? Yep. We've officially run out of things for La Kane to do. (Good timing, though, what w/ the cancellation and all.)

I don't mind evil twin storylines as long as both characters are interesting.

I'm sure I'll be the minority but I loved today's show and watched almost all of it for the first time in ages.

I thought SL did a credible job as the two Erica's. I thought she gave Jane just enough difference to know which one was which and the dialogue was fluid and didn't jump around like some twin/double scenes do. The bomb stuff had some build up and even Caleb was good today.

I loved Erica's ransom video and Jack's face as he watched it Okay, so I haven't watched the last two days because I've been pissed about what he was doing, but I wanted him to feel guilt along with worry and fear and I think he did. The yelling for one another; her continual declarations of love for Jack while Caleb heard every word, filled me with joy It was good old fashioned campy soap opera and if we had more of this over the years we wouldn't be facing EK's last storyline right now.

Great Kendall/Binks; and Kendall/Griffin. Ricky scared me too today and I worry what he is going to do to Binks.

I didn't watch any of the Ryan stuff. I didn't want him to taint what was a great day of AMC for me. Can't wait to see what Steve thought since he is a Jerica fan like me

Jane is awesome! And her hair is nice! I'll keep her for a bit. Not gonna be so much fun when the good people who love her start to buy the con, but right now...Jane campy goodness! LOL

I loved her doing that spin.

Oh, stop! You know dopplegangers are the "IN" thing these days. As a matter of fact, just last week on Dynas-- oh.
