AMC: Another big return coming?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

On Josh Duhamel's verified Twitter, he replied to someone asking if he'd be willing to come back for the end of the show, "#AMC fans will just have to wait to find out :>" He also has been posting on the AMC facebook page. I don't think this is a coincidence and I don't think he's cruel enough to taunt fans like this without knowing they'll get rewarded. I think we may FINALLY be rid of Rylee by the time the show ends. One can only hope they reunite Greenlee with Leo. :) Thoughts?

PS, someone please edit the title to read "return" LOL

Any return would probably be just for Leo to encourage Rylee and their true love.

Considering that all the frigid one did during their relationship was yell and whine in his ear, I hope he returns to tell her he's better off without her and that he hopes she rots.

Leo's been dead almost 10 years, let sleeping dogs lie, for crying out loud.

People keep aching for all these returns from the dead, and then don't want any of them connected. Well, you'll all just complain when they're half assed out of nowhere returns. So really, what's the point anymore?

If anything, he'd be a dream to give Rylee their final forever status. Or she'd see him in heaven, they'd have a moment, and he'd send her back to Ryan.

Please, just not another "magically alive, all showing up in PV at the same freaking time" storyline. UGH.

LOL, someone hates Greenlee :lol:

I don't think Lorraine would do that. Maybe set up a triangle, sure...with Leo winning. She is the one that put Greenlee with David and I, personally, LOVED that pairing (not that I want them now). I think Lorraine might be anti-Rylee, too. Or at least, is cognizant of what fans want.

I don't think anyone would've said he was dead. We never had even the slightest sense he died. Maybe some sort of amnesia-stricken existence after the fall, but not dead. No body = always a possibility for a return.

To me Greenlee epitomizes the death of AMC, and has been a burden to the show from her first day. But I can see that she is popular and I don't mean to rain on any parades.

I just think that the show, at this late date, is more likely to go with the long-established couple, since Leo has often been forgotten in recent years.

If I were going to write a good ending for Greenlee, I would have Leo appear to her to encourage her to move on with her life, on her own. That would give Greenlee the courage to break off with Ryan for good.

^It's still been almost a decade though. With not a hint that he's alive. I know people want him back, part of me does too. But for me personally, I don't want the last few months of AMC to be nothing more than plot point, back from the dead, return after returns.

The only possible way I could be okay with Leo, is if Vanessa is behind all of this, and somehow at the end of the arc, Greenlee got this hint...clue that Leo might be out there. We see Leo somewhere, maybe with amnesia, something so we know he's alive and Greenlee is out looking for him. Fine. Lame, but fine.

I just don't want to be sitting here after the final credits roll with the knowledge that all LB and AN did was magically bring everyone who's died (that's where it's getting too) in the past decade, back. I'll go watch Days if I want that.

Ugh. I do not want the last few months of this show to be consumed in explaining why characters thought dead are not dead. It's this couple-centric sh!t that's helped these shows die. There are more than enough LIVING characters out there who would be good, appropriate returns.

If he returns, maybe it's just me but I don't see it being that long. I feel the best we'll get is a little ghost scene like maybe Greenlee sitting on that bench in the park with his name on it. She could be sitting there thinking about him & he could come sit by her or something. They'll reminisce about the past a bit but eventually it'll lead to him encouraging the RyLee relationship.

ETA: And what was he saying on AMC's Facebook page? Wow lol

ETA ETA: Nvm I just scavenged around and found something he said. Wow how random... & suspect hmm.gif

The show should send Rylee on a vacation where she sees Leo in an airport and is all "Bye ryan!" and takes off to find him. They wont, Rylee is the plan, and i wouldnt be surprised if she pops up single on general hospital. isnt kelly's contract up at GH this fall?

    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.  
    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
