That's the problems with all the females on the show besides Erica - AMC writes them all as white-rice heroines who essentially need a man and kids to make them whole. From Liza, Greenlee and Kendall to Amanda, Bianca, Marissa, Madison and Cara. I was watching SOAPnet last night and the difference in the 2005 episode to now is huge with the females. These girls want to bake cakes, those girls want to bake their enemies. If AM and RB stay or either-or, and I do think keeping their big stars is of benefit to 2.0, they definitely need to get back to old-school Kendall, Greenlee at least somewhat. No matter who stays or goes, AMC needs to get back to those snarky, bitchy fabulous women. Women are huge to AMC, but women with that snarky, bitchy flame are even more so.

The have a lot of options for women and remember we have new HW's. LB and AN might have some ideas on how to revive other parts of the canvas with a couple of new characters added to ???? who knows. They can recast Jake as far as I am concerned. I vote for Greg Vaughan. Amanda they could just write off and bring on a new Martin female perhaps?

If they get Lucci they don't need Budig and I know you like her but I think Minshew is a weak Kendall and a lot of the changes to writing Kendall was to suit her version of the character. I never bought her Kendall as scheming or calculating. I like the idea of Madison stepping in to fill this role.

Yeah, Fusion is played out but the show needs another business to replace it. We need to keep the workplace/business angle and it looks like Chandler Enterprises is history. If SuLu signs on, I think she should get something generic like "Kane Ventures" where they could pull in Fusion, some Chandler stuff, Project Orpheus, etc.., That way we get to see the women at work without having to deal with the "Sex and the City" bullshit and it would be a great way to pull Colby and Petey back into the fold.

Agree 100 % with ur list

My point is AMC has such a history and there are tons ogf Martins, Tylers, Chandlers, Kanes, Montgomerys out there to continue this show

Since ME is staying as John On OLTL and KB & CS return soon as Marcie & Michael, Do U think PP will want them and what about Tina and Cord. Both would be cool

Genie Francis Needs to forget ABC & GH and PP needs to get her to Bring Laura to Pine Valley Or Llanview and yes I know she was Cearra on AMC but it could still work. I think AMC & OLTL would use a strong Laura

JaneA, I disagree on AM, I thought she was a more layered Kendall than SMG (yeah, I said it again!) and played an awesome anti-heroine. I think it's the "supercouple" pairing that watered the character down as much as she's been since late 2007 not the writers going off AM's vibe. It happens with any character, male or female, when they get into a popular pairing that overtakes the character to a detriment. IMO, only Susan Lucci and David Canary in the canvas of AMC has been able to avoid the curse.

Agreed. Adam and Brooke, of course, also cannot be recast IMO.

    • 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.
