AMC: Multiple Early Exits


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Sorry sweetie but the fact is that there isn't enough time to do the baby switch justice and I would rather focus on Angie getting her sight back. It pulls in most of the same characters plus offers better payoff, IMO. If Agnes is going to leave some of these characters with open ended fates then it seems somewhat fitting to me that the same Jesse Hubbard who was "on the run" for 20 years makes peace with the fact that he will have to hold this secret forever. To me that's an almost elegant karma for "letting" Angie and Frankie think HE was dead all those years.

Jesse's having trouble bonding with Lucy but if he and Maya learn the truth about each other and she dies, perhaps on his watch, it will be amazing drama and a good way AFAIC, to wrangle this impossible story under an impossible deadline.

VI mentioned last month that he wants to try prime time, so hopefully he's looking that way. :) Really, unless David actively helps Jane keep Erica hostage, I really think that even with minimal airtime the character will be around til the end. At least I hope so. Or if he dies, he best die saving Erica! :wub:

Depends. If they pulled what Charlotte and Cooper did on Private Practice it could be really nice. (Everybody came into town for the wedding, then C&C got so sick of the drama that they bailed out the day of and went to Vegas but left a note for the guests telling them to enjoy the party.)

That way you get all the returns with none of the tedium of an actual ceremony. But I only want that for Adam/Brooke. Have them come back, and have the wedding planning be way in the background but the real stories are Brooke helping Tad deal with Dixie. Adam and JR helping Maya figure out what happened to her baby, etc... Then for the wedding a bunch of one day returns and Sarah Michelle Gellar and Josh Dumahael passing hors d'oeuvres.

I am all for that stuff, but as you said, it is the tedium of the actual ceremony AND the fact that Jerica and certainly Rylee nuptials are not at all my idea of a happy ending. A Rylee wedding would offend me frankly, they are not deserving of that honor. At least Cass and Lila were pretty universally liked.

As for your Jesse scenario, I am struggling with it though drawn to the gut punch factor. It would definitely leave me with a sense that life went on and things continued to unravel. :shrug:

Characters I could definitely see exiting early

Caleb

Asher

Maya

Griffin ...If Zach is only a ghost than he will give his blessing to K/G and he'll stay on.

Cara

KWAK

Brot

Franki

Randi

Liza

Madison

Scott

Characters I think will stay until the end:

JR

Colby...Not because she should but because she is all JR has right now unless Adam stays to the end.

Jesse

Jackson

Angie

Kendall

Dixie

Ryan

Erica

Bianca

Marissa. Can't stand her and wish she'd go but if this B/M thing is for real than she'll be there too.

Opal ......I don't think she'll do much though. She'll just be there at the end with T/D

Tad

Jake

Amanda

Greenlee

Zach......If he is alive than he'll be there until the end. If he is a ghost than he will give his blessing to K moving on with Griff and Griff will stay too.

David but I think he will die. He should FINALLY being he never pays for any crime. It would be a fitting ending to a piece of crap that he is. After that text the other day, he either participated in Dixie or Erica's "Death"/Kidnapping.

David can't figure out the truth about Erica's kidnapping and Jane, if he participated in it. LOL Nor would he be suspicious of her if he knew that was Jane. I'm pretty confident he's NOT involved with Erica's kidnapping. I don't think he's in the Dixie mess either.

Asher

Krystal

Caleb

Brot

Marissa

It's too easy to see Scott & Madison leave town together. I think Caleb & Krystal will follow. Since Frankie & Randi haven't had a real story in years, I don't see them staying until the end either. Colby is also expendable imo, especially if Adam & Brooke come back to shore up the Chandlers. The only tossup imo is Marissa; the only way I see her staying is if Broderick/Nixon want to pair her with Bianca.

Remember with David, LB really loved David and she created the character and she gets along with Vincent.

But I can see Caleb, Asher, Maya, Griffin, Marrissa gone.

I can see Cara stay especially if Jake is staying and Dixie is back. That whole story needs to be played out.

The Scott/Madison thing needs to play out as well.

My "picks" include Asher, Caleb, Cara, Griffin, Jane (lol!), and Krystal. As their respective storylines conclude, it would seem natural for them to leave town.

There's this. Agnes Nixon writes the character, was well. I think the fear right now with David is that he's an idiot and drags his feet helping Real Erica, cause he thinks Jane can do some bidding for him. The character would never survive that, and IMO would be out within a few days (dead or jail). I really don't see it going this way, but I think that's why he's the question mark on the lists.

I think Griff and Cara will both get out of dodge. Possibly Brot as well. I think they'll just have a lot "disappear" as in not showing them anymore, not really leave. Though, I would much prefer actual exits, no matter how small.

    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
