Thanks. This show doesnt sound good at all. Oh and a triple ugh to Kelly. She looks stupid acting all giddy about Jack. She and Phyllis fighting over him looks dumb as hell

And Avery can kick rocks too. Clearly she has an axe to grind with Sharon and she isnt hiding it.Girl, bye

As I recall, at the time Sage was threatening Adam that he didn't have any family or friends to support him, that she was all he had, etc. I think that's what prompted him to go to Jack and it made sense IMO, given their history.

The blackmailing didn't enter the picture until after Jack had threatened to go to the police and/or Billy several times.

I don't argue that Adam going to Jack didn't make sense (quite the contrary, Adam turning to Jack was necessary for emotional, story and practical reasons: He needed a friend, the show needed someone for Adam to talk/have scenes with other than Sage and he also needed someone to use that can help him with his plan) or that the blackmailing wasn't well-founded. All I'm saying is that supposedly-dead, changed-his-face-with-plastic-surgery Adam threatening to go to the police about Billy shooting him (a year later, with no evidence in sight) doesn't hold water. It seems to me that Adam would get into trouble himself/have to answer a lot of questions first. I don't understand (well, I do, but you know what I mean) why Jack is allowing himself to be blackmailed by a DEAD MAN who threatens to go to the police. Do ghosts have rights?

Ahhhh I see. Yeah, that is quite silly I agree. biggrin.png The writers should have thought of a more believable construct for Jack to keep his secret. For argument's sake, I think that if Adam had proof that someone else caused Delia's death, along with their mutual disdain for Victor and some sort of plan for his downfall, would have been sufficient to get Jack to go along.

That could have worked, too! At the very least, they should have had Jack question Adam's logic and made Adam explain how something like that would work. Then it would be a little better and would have helped it work. As it stands, I can't even picture Jack's discussion with the police: "Hey, I know where the man who killed my niece is, and--oh--he also happens to be dead!" He'd be laughed right out of Genoa City. I'd love to see Adam appeal to Jack's darker, more vengeful, side.

She's already recycled bad writing, might as well complete it with the names!

+1 ICAM. If they would hire a competent writing team, this show would be awesome. Why they keep renewing SB's contract is beyond me. Every "story" they have given this dude sucks. Oh right - I forgot. He's a FOJ.

I liked the twist with Sage. Missed the last ep so just got caught up. I know KS bugs some people but so far I'm liking her on this show. She has the potential to really hold her own with some great potential rivalries. Looking at MCE and SC (Chelsea/Sharon).

The rest of today's ep was pretty boring for me. Victor/Victoria were such a snooze as are Dylan/Avery/Joe. The development story has such potential with pulling people in from all sides (Jill, Lauren, Victor, Nikki) but I've already grown tired of it. Just enough already!

    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. They just used her to drive plot. Her treatment is not atypical, as most characters on this show will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat.
