Hee! You guys are killing me. I'll chime in with those that say how much the perviness of this board (yeah, I'll blame the board. ;) influences the way they watch the show. Thank Pervy! It's a
good thing.
I'm still cracking up at what Mystic0 said about some other board debating whether Eden had implants.
Believe it are not, they have convinced themselves that she, in fact, has gotten implants. Which caused me to laugh like a lunatic because I had a vision of an army of TWoP peeps sweeping their board to defend the beloved rack's honor. Hee! Slander against the Rack is a capitol offense, right?
Daily spoilers from Media Domain:

Among other things, it reveals that it could be a couple of years before the switch is revealed. I guess McTrash plans to kick the puppy for years.
Oh gawd.
And...
How does Paul get his mangie hands on incubators?

You know, we're all laughing at the fact that Babe is quickly becoming Bianca's best friend..even though Bianca hasn't said those exact words but maybe the joke is on us BAM bashers. Think about it...they are pimping Babe to be a really good friend so that she can take the Nagster's place as BFF and then the annoying gnome will be 'elevated' to Bianca's girlfriend. Maggie will no longer be Binks' best friend...she'll be available only as girlfriend. Oh the horror! The horror! I think my brain is vomiting.
Thankfully Olga will have wrapped up filming on AMC and I won't have to watch anymore. I can almost taste my freedom.

That's hysterical. They're so stupid.
DrCher,
I suppose all medevac helicopters come equipped with like ten incubators. [/sarcasm] Babe is in pain when she calls him, though, so I guess maybe she mentions that Bianca gave birth and that she is herself about to go into labor.
Erica sits vigil? Get the hell away from Bianca's bedside, La Kane. I want to hear about Kendall sitting vigil. Erica, on the other hand, needs to stay away. Great, so the Friday cliffhanger next week will be David, Ryan and Tad telling Kendall they found the incubator and Mimo's a goner...the Monday after will no doubt be Kendall breaking the news to her poor sister once Bianca regains fulls consciousness. Gah.

Normally I'd be all for defending the Rack-o-SORAS's honor, but the combined stupidity of the assertions that 1) Eden has implants and 2) Eden just got implants recently is just making me laugh--#2 in particular. Did they just start watching last week or something? Wait, even that doesn't work, because she had that nice cleavage-baring top on at the baby shower and leaned over at one point. Not that I noticed particularly or anything. *cough*

I must have been very tired because i even teared up at Erica's plea to Mona.
The little montage with Binks singing was a tear-jerker all the way.
Seeing Binks with her baby today will make it much harder to watch her learn the news about losing Mimo.
Gryan was tolerable today. But Mesmund /Banita were the only ones i didn't care about.
Bobby mentioned Vegas today. Could it be tied up to the Erica does a show in Vegas?
Wild feed from Monday from Betzz at SS.
Ryan and Greenlee tell all that are gathered at Adam's about finding Babe's car.
Krystal says 'OH, my God!' They give her Babe's bag. I think Erica asks about Bianca and they show Bianca's also.
Maggie upset goes to another room,Jamie follows says 'this can't be happening.'. They both leave soon after.
Opal 'how did this happen' Kendall ' not how did this happen but who made it happen'. Kendall rips into Erica. Jack and David try to calm Kendall. She crys' I just want my sister'.
JR says that they are ok and they all go out to search for them.
Erica wants to go but they make her stay. Krystal hugs Erica. Reggie tells Erica'why couldn't you just let Bianca be. Erica tells him to find her baby.
Bianca talking to baby. Goes to sleep.
Babe pleading with Paul to help them. He's being an ass to her on the phone not believing what she's saying. Joe comes up while he's talking to Babe and tells him to get off phone. He hangs up.
Jamie and Maggie come to Paul. Jamie tells Paul to let him go with him on the chopper. Paul says no leaves.
Babe calls Krystal from David phone then trips over phone cord and call doesn't go through. She goes back to Bianca.
David and Kendall at his cabin find phone cord figure out Babe called Krystall.
Babe at cabin is in labor and Paul arrives with chopper,delivers her baby. Tells her she has baby Boy. She asks how the baby is and hears it cry. Paul says heres your Son.
Paul goes out calls his sister and tells her he has her a baby.

I must have been very tired because i even teared up at Erica's plea to Mona.
You're so sweet! I was just wishing Mona's picture would come alive and bitchslap Erica's sorry ass. I have no pity for that shrew. Thankfully, neither does Kendall. She gave Erica a preemptive verbal bitchslap and even went the extra mile and glared at Erica's back the whole time Erica was at Chandler's. Kendall? Baby, I adore you! "I want Bianca!
I want Bianca!" (sniffle)
This entire ep was geared to make me wail. Reggie, oh dear sweet Reggie... When he hugged Kendall? (sniffle) I loved when he told Opal that God needs to shove it, for letting bad shit keep happening to Binks. He's, like, the best brother ever. David Canary rocked today. Love that man! Mmm.......Aidan and David, side by side, pretty manflesh, that. Gryan wasn't so bad today. Sorry, that's all the compliment I can muster for them.
Alexa did a great job today! Babe is dumber than a stump, but she can be damn amusing, sometimes. She was mad sweet today, too.
I'm not getting into the Binks stuff. Nope, screw that.
Painful, just ouch, man. Eden was typically brilliant but I wish she wasn't, so I wouldn't care so much what happens to poor Bianca.
Do they have to keep hammering home just how much Binks loves Mimo??? Dude, Mimo's 'death' is gonna kill Bianca. And me, dammit! (wails)

Mesmund /Banita were the only ones i didn't care about.
For some reason, "Banita" cracked me up. Perhaps due to being at work on less than four hours of sleep, I'm not sure, but hee.
All of the posts about today are getting me worked up, and I don't even get to see it until Monday. Is there no freaking justice in this world? Argh.
So, Mimo finally made her appearance today? Happy Birthday, Mimo! Enjoy it while you can, little one. My birthday's tomorrow; we could throw a joint party quick before all hell breaks loose. Good times, good times.
I know I rant about it in just about every post, but the day-behind thing is
killing me. Slowly and painfully. I read all of your comments about what's going on and get all jealous, and then by the time I do get to see the episodes, I can't really contribute to the commentary since you lovely folks already have everything covered (and then some), and are already well on your way into tackling the next. It's just not fair, man.
All I want for my birthday is Soap Net! Are you there, Cable Gods? It's me, mirashima. Please tell the fools at the Time Warner place here to add Soap Net. *kisses*
PS - To those who may be jonesing for a Lil Budig fix (since I know most of you are FF'ing the bullshit that is this whole Gryan situation -- I would be too, but my love for Rebecca seemingly knows no bounds, so I cannot), I believe she'll be hosting
The Bachelorette XYZ'd on ABC Family for a huge chunk of tomorow, and then that show she's hosting on WE,
Full Frontal Fashion, starts next Wednesday. Not sure on the times for either of them, so you'd have to check, but I just thought I'd put that out there.

Who wanted to know how many times would Babe stroke Bink's head? I counted at least a dozen times. It was like she couldn't keep her hands out of Binky's hairs.
And Babe had a couple of good lines too...
talking about Miranda..."she's gorgeous...well in a covered-in-goop kind of way..."
After Binks breastfed Mimo( which i'm mad at tptb for not showing that important moment to us) Babe said "She's her own teeny-weeny lactating specialist".
Edited to add: We know Lena is in Chigago, but where are Simone, Palmer and Brooke? They should have been there today.

I'm warning y'all, I'm an extremely crabby Black Knight today. I know where all of this is going, and I hate it with the fiery intensity of a thousand suns, and it made me really edgy watching today's AMC. "Shut up"s were the order of the day for many scenes.
Maurmund--Shut up. You're getting in the way of the important stuff.
Bobby--You're cute, but as soon as you brought up having a baby, you lost me. Shut up. I do not want to hear about any more women getting pregnant on AMC for, oh, several years at least.
Anita--you rock for telling Bobby it's a horrible idea to have a baby to save a marriage. Now please go find Kelly Buchanan and explain it to her.
Naggie--shut up, and let the adults handle the situation. Interrupting Tad with the idea of search parties and APBs? Thank God for Naggie, no one would ever have thought of that otherwise.
Erica--shut the fuck up. You're the worst crier ever, and your concern for your daughter is far too late. When Erica showed up and said, "I'm cold. I'm cold," I know how she meant it, but I still said, WORD.
Gryan--this is not for today's episode, this is in advance of Monday's episode. Shut the fuck up, you Black Leather-Clad Pair of Doom. I hate you for showing up together and being all set to break Kendall's heart. And the thought of Cam Math breaking the news to a roomful of people generally played by much better actors makes me want to stab my eyes out with a fork.
What was up with the emergency workers' attitudes? Babe and Bianca are presumed dead immediately? The hospital receptionist tells Babe to call 911? What, did the storm tire them out and now they don't want to do any more work than they have to? And Gryan is really smart to not envision some sort of ridiculous fairy-tale scenario in which Babe and Bianca left the car and took shelter somewhere before the river flooded...oh wait, that's what actually happened.
Ah. I feel better. I'll post more comments in a little bit (cheerier ones).

Black Knight
Mar 19, 2004 @ 6:01 pm
Eden's singing voice isn't my favorite kind of voice either, but I find that turning the sound down a little bit works wonders. Plus I just found the montage moving.
ABC's definitely going all out for Tuesday's two-hour ep--they're even buying radio :60s for it from top-rated stations all over. Oof. I have to admit, I'm kind of anticipating the ep. Bastards.
It's been brought up already, but deserves another mention...Kendall: "I want Bianca! I want Bianca!" Awww. And yes, we know. Loved her smackdown of Erica--a little too short, but that's ok, Monday's coming.
I liked the subtle little bit of Bobby letting himself have physical contact with Maddie, but not his son Sam.
The girl who plays Danielle is definitely a nice little actress. Danielle telling Reggie to get his girl was sweet. It's too bad that I still don't see any romantic chemistry between them. Damn, because I would actually like to get behind these two; they're both cute and charismatic and have talent.
I liked the childbirth scenes--except they were far too short (and I never thought I'd say that about a childbirth sequence, but y'know, SweatyWrithingTanktopBianca...). Loved when Miranda finally arrived and Bianca cried tears of joy, relief and exhaustion all at once--beautifully played by Eden, there. Babe was very sweet...and on the one hand, I really liked the kiss she gave Bianca, but on the other hand, it should've been Kendall there. Sniff! That was so cruel to make a reference to Bianca's breast-feeding without showing us any of it. I'm sure Babe enjoyed watching, though.
Boy, did Eden/Bianca look like death today, especially in contrast with that pink little baby. I liked how Babe saw something was seriously wrong with Bianca, and knew she had to go get help immediately, but hid her panic until she was away from Bianca. Bianca's talk to her little girl was touching, and well-written, because her own scars were showing clearly.
Alicia is cheating on her scenes to some extent--doing that actor thing of not really playing the scenes true to character because she knows what's coming up in the scripts and that she needs to hold herself back for that, but it's a bit difficult because that ain't Kendall. We've seen her freak out much more over much less where Bianca is concerned. Today Alicia didn't let herself really break out the Panicky Eyes until the very end. But it's okay, I'll fanwank it because 1) I love her and 2) I'm not in a huge rush for her to start ripping my heart out. Kendall's not letting herself realize the enormity of the situation, and she's in shock over the very possibility that Bianca and Miranda might be gone. There. Easy enough.
Adam's scene with Mary was wonderful and beautifully played. It's not often that we see that side of Adam come out, and he looked an awful lot like Stuart today.
I hate Paul, of course, but I did have to let out a snicker at his facial expression when Babe referred to Bianca as her "girlfriend". He totally took that the wrong way at first. Babe's line about how of course no one was home, because that would just be too easy, was funny. Babe, now you're starting to understand how things work around Bianca--things always go wrong, and a bad situation always gets worse. Reggie and Erica's mentions of curses and bad stuff always happening to Bianca was quite meta. That reminds me, I liked Reggie and Opal's conversation, and Reggie's attitude towards God. It was completely consistent with his attitude last year in his scenes with Joni when Jack was in surgery. I appreciate character continuity.
It is rather an ill feeling watching the clear turning moments when you know things are going horribly wrong then and there. Babe asking for Paul on the phone, most obviously. But I think the most affecting moment for me, probably, was when Babe said goodbye to Bianca and Miranda in the cabin. AMC cranked it up to the max, of course. Now it's all downhill from here...
ETA: swtrgrl, they said in TV Guide that the storylines are self-sustaining on both shows and that viewers don't have to watch the one to understand the other, with the exception of the two-hour episode, of course. Plus there are going to be occasional crossovers.

I am too, actually. I'm not hating this storyline near as much as most people but it may be because I'm looking at it in comparison to last year's Voldemort: it's the lesser of two evils.
I am surprised that they went ahead with all this crossover nonsense since the last time ABC attempted this (with Rae and Skye), it pretty much went over like a lead balloon.

Ugh. Why the heck didn't Babe call JR? The all-powerful head of Chandler Enterprises would have been able to help. Instead, she talks to Paul and now we get this crappy baby switch storyline that will probably go on for years. Why can't you let Bianca have some happiness in her life? Damn you McTrash. First you rape her, then you chase her girlfriend away, now you're taking her baby away. Blech. The way Bianca sulked around after being raped was painful. Imagine how it's going to be when she thinks her baby is dead?

From SS board
SOW March 30 ed. Eden's comments on BAM/Olga
There's one of the Pin-up pics with the caption... Lianca fans are getting the kiss off
Move Over, Lianca...
Now that Olga Sosnovska (Lena) is leaving All My Children, will BAM fans get their wish and see Bianca and Maggie together?
"The BAM people are just as fervent in their love of the show and really want to see that couple happen", muses Eden Riegel (Bianca). "Maybe that couple has a better chance now. I was looking forward to the possibility of this triangle [with Maggie and Lena] that the show's been flirting with."
As for Sosnovska's upcoming departure, Riegel is taking it as hard as Lianca fans. "I'm sad," sigh sighs. "We were very lucky to have her for as long as we did. She is incredibly talented. People who have that talent tend to move on from daytime pretty fast. Not to say that people who are left behind like me aren't good, too. But when an actor's in their prime and they have lots of offers, it's hard to stay in one place for a long time. She is most certainly in her prime; an exquisite person and a wonderful actress.

Not to say that people who are left behind like me aren't good, too.
Hee, Eden's nutty. I love it when people bust on themselves.
Ah, more spoilers, I see.
I'm gonna start drinking Monday and won't stop until my liver explodes...Damn AMC! (shakes fist in air)

...
"Babe and Bianca are so out of it after their birthing ordeals that they don't realize what is going on. "Paul drugs Babe so everything is hazy," explains Havins. "Plus, when people are in traumatic situations they have blackouts and their short-term memory is gone. That is going to be the interesting part of the story- the flashbacks [that the characters have]."
While Babe is putting the pieces together, poor Bianca is left to "mourn" her baby. "Bianca wakes up to find her world completely turned upside-down," sighs Eden Riegel (Bianca). "She had completely bonded with this child in the nine months she carried her. For her and for Kendall, this child was their second chance. A glimmer of hope. It's probably going to be the hardest moment of her life, because how do you go on, having lost a child?" Particularly one you can hear crying down the hospital hallway, in the arms of one of your best friends..."So Eden says it herself, Kinks is love.

Erica's world falls apart? Puh-leeze. Shut the hell up, Erica. For some reason, I'm giggling madly at the Jamie and Maggie declaring their love for others spoiler. Yeah, I can hear it now, "I love my dead gay best friend!" from Maggie and "I love my brother--oops, I mean, my brother's dead wife!" from Jamie.
Now Alicia playing Kendall falling apart, on the other hand, will be amazing, no doubt.I am surprised that they went ahead with all this crossover nonsense since the last time ABC attempted this (with Rae and Skye), it pretty much went over like a lead balloon.
Yeah, that's why they got cold feet a few months ago and decided to drag Eden's Bianca into the SL. OLTL's side of the story will be fine because it's all long-running characters involved over there (except for NuPaul), with a messy quadrangle going on, but AMC had a problem with their side because Babe/JR/Jamie wasn't turning out to be sufficient. So in comes Eden. ABC's going to have to buy her a beachhouse or something.

It is ever so hard to feel sorry for Erica, isn't it?

::Gasp:: Hell yeah, it is. How dare they say the racky goodness is fake!? Grrr...
Delurking for a moment... I was briefly involved with Eden's ex a few years ago. He was
very complimentary of her, uh, finer points. He left little doubt they're all natural. Sadly, my girls just couldn't compete.

Not to insinuate anything or insult you at all, but seriously, whose could? Once you’ve had Bianca’s rack, you never go back.
Go ahead, ask Kendall.

Thaks for that tidbit Miss World! Now I am all jealous of your ex. LOL.
I thought I could just be Eden's bitch for at least a week (because of her Kinks shout out) without her pulling out some asshat comment. Now? Well. I could spank the little BAM pimp. Just wring her pencil neck with my bare hands. Lena isn't even of canvas yet, you tool. And 90% of your fans hate BAM. Stop poking them in the eye with a hot needle, k?

LOL, agreed. Those are a thing of beauty. If I had Bianca's rack (take that as you will, heh) I wouldn't go back either.
The guy was Marj Dusay's nephew. He overheard me and my girlfriends discussing AMC at a party, and asked me what I thought of Vanessa. I said she was one of the few characters I could stand -- she, Leo and David. That besides them, the show was horrid. (These were the lean days in the summer of 2002). He laughed, and said his aunt Marj would appreciate that. Then he told me he used to be Eden's boyfriend. Seemed quite hung up on her (can't blame him!) Nice guy, but fervently Republican. I couldn't deal ;-)

HoYay in the forum alert! I heart you hardcore!

Did he miss her, or "them"? Oh, and her lips ... Jus' sayin'. *ahem* The Guy shoulda switched political parties!

Oh shut the hell up, would you? You too, Eden. Let Lena leave before you continue pimping BAM: can't you take one damn day off? Jesus.

Hee! Right back at you. I swear, this show is making me gay. Either that, or these boards are ;-)
I'm watching my tape now and I can't pinpoint when it happened exactly, but Alexa has really grown on me. I actually LIKE Babe. I even watch her scenes sans Eden! It flummoxes me. I was so set on her as AMC's answer to OLTL's Jenbot, and now... huh. I like her. Hate, loathe and despise her story, but she's kinda charming. And she
definitely works the sapphic vibe. Oh yes.
As for the rest of the show so far... eh. Aside from the birthin' baby scenes, the only thing that really grabbed my attention was Lucci's hair. Back away from the Aquanet, lady! Man, she was rockin the Jersey hair today.
My, Christian Campbell is yummy. He can be my Trick anytime. Throw in Eden and it's a party!

Yeah, she snuck up on me, too. All she had to do was get away from that JR/Jamie crap and, suddenly, I'm on her love train. It boggles the mind, man.
My, Christian Campbell is yummy. He can be my Trick anytime.
You know, Trick is the only other thing I've seen CC in, so I'm still kinda waiting to see him hit on Aidan or something. I have to remember that he's
Bobby now. Not a sweet faced, piano playin' gay boy. Hey, it takes time.
Oh, and welcome to the pervy board,
Miss World. Check your soul at the door. ;)

Yeah. When Babe slowflirtwalked back to Bianca and kissed her tenderly ... I shouted, "Yeah! Work it, Alexa!" Got me some looks in the breakroom, I can tell you.
Miss World! We'll have you a "Eden's rack made me gay." shirt made when we have our, "I want to see Kinks. AMC turned me into a guy!" Shirts made.
Please stop lurking and keep posting. You are comedy gold, man. Jersey hair. Hee.

Well, that's just a slash-fic waiting to happen, if I've ever heard one! If I ever finish my OLTL fic from like, 5 years ago, I may have to venture down that road.

Well, thank you
SkiffyPup! I'll wear it with pride. It's kinda funny, I was at a strip club with the guys from work a couple of weeks ago, and there was this gorgeous stripper with serious Boobs of Power. Alas, to my chagrin, they were faker than the bake on Krystal and all I could think was,
'Yeah, she's got nothing on the Binks'.
And then I realized this show has corrupted me in ways Catholic school never could...

This episode had both wonderful scenes, scenes that made me roll my eyes, and scenes that I made use of my FF button (Edmund/Maria. What, you thought it was anything else?)
I loved every single scene involving Bianca and/or Babe. I didn't even mind Bianca's cheesy song. I was in tears, y'all! What is the deal there? Usually I ignore all baby scenes - they just don't interest me. But, well, if Bianca is giving birth, I'll watch. And cry. She's that good. And I agree with most everyone else that Babe becomes 100 times more interesting with Bianca and away from her skanky mom, and idiotic husband.
I'm really liking the Reggie/Livia's daughter (no, I can't remember her name) pairing. I like how they're not shoved on us, and aren't immediately head over heels in love with each other. The whole thing just seems very natural, nicely paced, and not forced. Good acting, nice chemistry.
Although I liked how everyone eventually made their way to the Chandler house, I also have this question:
We know Lena is in Chigago, but where are Simone, Palmer and Brooke? They should have been there today.
Word. Especially since Mia was there. Mia? Doesn't everyone know she's useless by now? The only reason Mia should ever be in the Chandler mansion is if she manages to make her way to the attic to get pushed out the window by Liza again.
I did like the interaction between Opal and Reggie, I liked the fact that Aiden and David (Hee! I wonder who let HIM in) were there, and I like the fact that it managed to weave many people that I care about into this story. But Erica can take her little black jacket and her hair flipping self back to her loft. "I'm cold, I'm cold". Yeah, whatever, you drama queen.
Boy, Greenlee is either truly dumb, or just really wants to play the martyr at this point to want to go break it to everyone that already blames her for a lot of Bianca's troubles that she thinks Bianca might be dead. I found it funny that in the previews Kendall was laying into Erica. Had she already smacked Greenlee back to Philadelphia? Because I can't see her taking that kind of news kindly from Greenlee. Or Ryan, accompanied by Greenlee.
One final gripe. When Babe called the hospital, the brain dead (as far as I'm concerned) nurse told her to call 911, while seeming completely bored. So, you mean that Babe didn't call that to begin with??? But instead called some random hospital, in a town other than Pine Valley, and knew the number?? And just happened to know that Paul had access to a helicopter, and he just happened to be right there? What??? Yes, I know this is a soap, but come. on. Can this plot be any more contrived? I guess I'll have to wait until Tuesday to say "Yes, yes it can". Because, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm skipping ATWT and taping this two hour farce, or extravaganza, or whatever you want to call it.
I am so this show's bitch.
