Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 I wonder what the big news David told Matthew over the phone was? Lmao at yesterdays scenes with Starr/Danielle/Nate/James/Rick. i LOVED them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 All I kept thinking was of that ABC recap which seemed so giddy about Nathesulah beating Matthew. And it led to this. That's what ABC now represents. I really think it was a bad decision to kill Matthew off. I would have rather he just moved to a rehab facility offcamera for the rest of the show. Too many Buchanans have already been killed off for one or two sad face moments, and this is also the second time they have done the "Well at least he had a baby!" twist of "irony" or whatever. The last miracle baby, Zane, is now stuck in a boarding school, somewhere between the ages of 7 and 17. For once I wish these soaps didn't have to end with the manipulative deaths designed to wring out tears and show us how awesome they are. It's the type of thing that has driven viewers away in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 Sorry - I didn't mean to forget that today was the last Thanksgiving episode, not to mention the PP news. I am going to just enjoy what is left and not focus on what I dislike, but that decision just bothered me enough that I couldn't stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MontyB Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 I just watched today's episode. Wiping away the tears. I totally did not expect that. The show was so good today then that happened. Top it off, I'm seeing this stuff about PP. I didn't set my heart on it, but I really hoping the show would continue. Oh yeah, I don't appreciate Bobby, but you know what, out of all my years of watching the soaps, there have been much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 True but... isn't the fact that Matthew is a Buchanan at all manipulative itself? He was a Rappaport until the Rappaports didn't matter anymore and it was suddenly convenient to make him a Buchanan. Just like last week when they were making a huge deal about Clint being at his daughter's wedding, I was like please you didn't even know she was your daughter until like five years ago.

Members DRW50 Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think that was just common sense - there was little story out of him being a Rappaport, and there was a chance he could be a Buchanan, since the paternity tests were so confused. To me there's no real story out of killing Matthew. It's just the same old "Look at how dramatic we are, we are geniuses! We make you sad! Emmy Emmy!" type of stuff.

Members alexisfan07 Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 I bet David told Matthew that Cutter is his kid. I don't know why that just stuck out to me but I bet that's what the doozy of a secret was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 I watched this again. I will always think of Matthew as the quiet boy who was too small for Asa's hat but was going to grow into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 Pointless death. And the emotional impact has kind of been ruined by the complete lack of EA in this story. At least Ron's consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 I won't say I didn't cry but I'm very invested in Matthew. But I completely agree. He wasn't in this story at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 I am not invested in him at all and I found it incredibly well done and sad. He has been in a coma for a long time, and I found it exceptionally well done to just randomly check in on him out of nowhere. The timing was random, the fact he wasn't around just heightens the fact he has been lost to his family for so long, and then just like that it is over. And it's sad with the whole Destiny factor.
