Her purpose on the show was first to be a Chuck Pratt sub-Melrosian bitch, then a blonde fetish doll for Brian Frons who he "stole" from CBS. He loves that.

I think she has risen above those superficial reasons for her being there and done quite well at AMC - she's improved mightily since GL - but I still find the character pretty boring now.

And sorry, Christina Bennett Lind, you did good but if Eden Riegel is free I'd toss you out. They will get eyes with Eden back, period.

No sane person would be offended by Bianca but I feel that ABC always seemed nervous to give her a long term GF on the show. Also I don't know why CBLBinks has been a supporting character when the show more or less revolved around Bianca circa 2003-2004.

I understand everyone's various concerns about my suggestions but IMO most of those concerns exist because AMC stayed focused on Kendall/Greenlee. There's plenty of story to be told with each of those characters. Story that will hopefully flesh them out and give them layers now they they don't have to act as handmaidens to the Fronsian Concubines.

Very happy to hear that LH is staying! I love her & Cara! She already has a story line to start off with, Cara will be about 5 months pregnant with evil David Hayward's baby. LOL! I hope to hear VI is staying to! If not, very disappointing...but still, yay LH is staying!!

Don't think RB is going to stay, so since CM is...I am very curious to see how Ryan will be without Greenlee. Can he maybe go back to being a devious con man again? Or could they actually have him go back to working at Cambias Industries? Something other than trying to save everyone and be PV's white knight!

I do think there's a point to having some other young heroines carry over. I think AMC has had a problem in this area for quite a while - all the soaps have but you notice more on AMC because young heroines are such a major part of its history and success.

Since RPG is done with soaps and Debbi is headed to Y&R I assume Cara (or maybe Griff) will take lead chief position at the hospital (I actually think Frankie should have that position next, but...). I love the idea of one of them leading the hospital alongside David (if he stays on). The hospital isn't even what AMC is all about, but they always seems to pay attention and do stuff with it moreso than the other soaps (besides GH) so that's just what I'm expecting, unless things change ;-).

    • I figured because Kate received her cancer treatment at the hospital that she decided to “give back” by being on the board.
    • Someone posted years ago that they remember Pamela Peters (Peggy) was having some sort of issues behind the scenes during the rape storyline and barely participated onscreen when it played out. Trish Stewart (Chris) seemed to carry most of the storyline along with Dick DeCoit (Ron) and David Hasselhoff (Snapper). I think the poster also mentioned that Anthony Hererra (Jack) said that Pamela Peters one day looked into the camera and exclaimed she didn't know what she was doing and walked out of the scene.  
    • Yes! I'm not at your point of not rooting for the Duprees, but they really need to tone down the self-righteousness. Some of the things coming out of these ladies' mouths is out of pocket considering all the skeletons in their own family's closet. 
    • Kat is still a privileged elitist. She hated Eva on sight because Eva didn’t bow her head to her immediately and continued to treat Eva like a stain on her overpriced shoes. I’d love to know if Laura kissed her ass and kissed the ring properly and knew her place below Kat in the general hierarchy.    While Eva has been deserving of most of the consequences she’s been reaping, the Dupree women can take several hundred seats with the way they behave towards others. The hypocrisy and posturing irks me more than anything else and it’s the same thing that irks me about all other prominent soap families who can do no wrong in their own eyes.   I’m not really rooting for any of these assholes except maybe Eva (who is by default the smallest [!@#$%^&*] on this show), but I’m rooting against the Dupree family (except Nicole - she’s awesome) in general and I’m not sure that’s the goal of the showrunners.
    • Kristian probably had a high 'Q' score-that seemed to mean a lot in those days. FC always brought unknowns in for the young cast, so her Days probably had little to do with it-just something that they thought might help. The producers probably had no idea who she was, but that 'Q' score would have been a factor. Otherwise she was just a pretty, competent actress as Ana Alicia, Mary Kate McGeehan, Kate Vernon etc had been.
    • Finally caught up. I was really torn by Friday's episode. Naomi and Jacob were way too invested on who performed this surgery on June being she's someone they barely know. Also, this is a hospital in the DMV, a densely populated area with well-staffed hospitals. There's only one qualified doctor in all of the DMV? Oh no, not that doctor! Only Dr. McBride will do? It was strange.  Can we stop making the Casino a meeting point. First, Eva and Mona crossing paths and now Dani/Pamela/Doug/Joey. These folks don't seem like they just hit up the casino on a random Tuesday. Especially, one that is supposed to be some shady, seedy backroom. They need to end this casino stuff and repurpose that set. Ted and Dana read sooooo differently this episode. Why was Ted out here inviting this woman that just blew up his life, clearly is unhinged, and took 50k to a birthday dinner???? Did I miss something? His reaction towards Dana also did not seem angry or in disgust like the previous Ted. It didn't feel right. Whatever Bill was doing with his eyes when at OG's with Smitty.  The Good: Anita getting some story is great. Love to have her doing more.  Leslie is wild. She really just had Eva to hold onto Ted-ddy. Calling her daughter a whole souvenir and not giving 2 about her birthday. Although, I'm wondering if Eva's real birthday is actually earlier and that's why Dana/Lesile is so nonchalant about this date. She gave Eva a cupcake some time back and I'm wondering if that's to tie to this idea that Kat and Eva are twins.  Smitty is growing on me. He's got something to do.  I didn't love some bigger things in this episode, but there were some small things that really were so nice to see. Loved seeing Dani calling Doug over to join them. It really gave off this feeling that they know each other well and it was a bit playful like you would do with a friend. Similarly, I liked how Kat and Naomi and Jacob played off each other. "I was actually asking my hubsand." It gave off authentic family banter vibes. 
    • Jane Wyman had health struggles and was written out after the first few episodes. IIRC, she went against medical advice to film the final episodes of the show. I guess they likely did think Alicia was just there as some kind of eye candy for viewers and could be replaced. As mentioned by several people in the CBS primetime soap threads, Moonves and others brought a real culture of misogyny to the shows in the mid/late '80s where every woman was seen as replaceable. I didn't realize how many times Wyman's health had been a factor in the last 4-5 seasons of the show. Here is one example. www.falconcrest.org | Deutscher FALCON CREST - Fanclub / German FALCON CREST Fan Club
    • Was Angela still on the show at that point? I think I caught some of the show on Lifetime or TNT  when they reran the series, and Angela never seemed to be on during the last season. I remember thinking it felt the like the last season was a completely different show and that Wendy Philips was too grounded of an actress (not a criticism) for a nighttime soap.    I don't understand the concept because I don't think most people channel hop. I can understand wanting Alfonso's popularity to rub off, but why engender bad feelings by firing Ana Alicia and bringing on Alfonso? Soap execs never learned that lesson. Like Ellen Parker a few years later, I don't think they realized Ana Alicia's popularity.
