AMC: Was Di Swapped for Krystal?

[Daphne]

I thought AMC was building a triangle with Di/Tad/Dixie. But AMC has Tad sleep with Krystal--not that I mind, but I'm just confused by it all and wonder what this means for Di.

When Dixie came back, I expected Di to remain on the frontburner. Afterall, Kelli Giddish was front and center while she was impersonating Dixie and the repercussions of her deceit could have been played out for months. But since Cady returned, it feels like Di is being phased out.

Is she?

Tad sleeping with Krystal came out of nowhere. Sure, they share a history, but in the last 3-6 months, Krystal and Tad barely said "Hello" to one another. It just feels like AMC, at the last minute, swapped Di for Krystal to create conflict between Tad and Dixie.

Definitely sounds like it. And since they already gave Bobbie Julia Barr's story last year it would not surprise me.

AMC sucks if they are phasing out Di. I love some Kelli Giddish.

Exactly. I was looking forward to my Brooke and Adam slow building romance.

However, I always believed that Di was a placeholder for them until they found out whether Cady would return or not. I'm indifferent to Di, but another character oushed out of a storyline for Krystal is just too much for me to handle.

From SOD, it looks like they are going to do something with Di/Aidan...which I'm all for. I saw them together once on-screen and they looked good together.

However, this is still a huge demotion for KG. Being paired with Aidan is a far cry from front-burner story with emmy award winners. She did an amazing job last year, she does not deserve this.

I'm sorta glad AMC is pairing Di with Aidan.

Also I think Krystal and Tad will be short-lived. I'm pretty sure Krystal is the one who's been calling JR and threatening him. Tad will not like that when he finds out.

I like Aidan/Erin better than Di/Aidan. It's ashame they keep giving Krystal storylines that were suppose to be Brooke's and maybe Di's. What ashame. I'm not a huge Krystal fan, so it really sucks, and it was pretty random Tad and Krystal were together, should've been Di and Tad.

Colby was revealed as JR's blackmailer today. She seems to really need the $50k, wish I cared why, LOL!
