(I was amused to note, though, that David Tom was pawing Eden both yesterday and today. Damn, I wish Mystic0 was here, I know she'd laugh at that. Heck, even BabyMimo was giving Eden chin chucks yesterday!)


Heh, heh. Can you blame them? I wonder if the kid playing Miranda is a boy or a girl. Not that it matters, Eden's got the Yay: everybody wants to get a piece of it.

The dirty part of me wanted to know who put Bianca's jeans back on, Babe or Paul.


You know, the thought never even crossed my mind. Blinded by the rackage, I was. Damn, did David Tom hit the rack jackpot during that day of taping.

And then Greenlee replying something about how she wanted to be Bianca's sister too but that she knew they couldn't be "as close as you two are" or something like that.


Ummm, Kenlee. *sigh* Don't get me wrong, when it comes to being loved, Kinks is first, but I miss mah Kenlee sometimes, y'all. *sniff* When Kenlee was looking down the mineshaft. . .oh, the pretty. And yeah, I think Greenlee's line was, "She could be my sister, too. Not like you two, but I care." Hee. Oh, she wants in. I'm afraid it may be too late for her. Kendall's moved on, and Bianca is head over heels in love with the girlfister she's got. Tant pis, Greenlee.

. . .the other part of me was yelling at the TV that no crash unit would ever buy the story Paul will spin about the crash. But then I remembered that this is not one soap, but TWO, so never mind.


Yeah, CKD, I let that bother me for a minute. I mean, fuck CSI, Barney Fife would know in about five seconds that Paul's story stinks to high heaven that the crash was staged. Get real. But, then again, that's the point. It's a soap. However, [minirant]these soap hacks should realize that as technology becomes more advanced and due to primetime television shows and the Internet, audiences are becoming much more sophisticated and informed and, thus, the writers are not going to be able to rely on the old, ridiculous soap opera contrivances for much longer. In fact, the time has already come for soap writers to become more inventive. Space aliens are one thing; if I am being signaled by the writing that I am being taken into a realm outside of the one I live in, I will suspend disbelief. But, framing the story in the context of reality and then telling me that all of the "circuits are jammed" in a town as small as Pine Valley, not allowing Babe to call 911, or having Paul do such a slipshod job of staging the accident scene: not only is it not particularly entertaining, but it insults my intelligence as well. And they wonder why soap opera viewership is dwindling.[/minirant]

I'm torn on whether Paul's the father or not. Before, I was leaning in that direction, but when alone with the baby, he referred to himself as Uncle Paul with no sense of irony whatsoever.


Yeah, that line gave me pause, as well. I have decided that the writers don't know who Babe's baby's daddy is, yet, so it could be anyone of the three. It all depends on which father seems more dramatic at the conclusion of the SL.

Blasphemy! Tuc Watkins is about the best thing OLTL's got going for it these days. Cameron Mathison would be lucky to have 1/10th of TW's talent.

Word. Tuc Watkins is delicious, and his pairing with Robin Strasser is the best on OLTL. Yum. Not having seen today's OLTL yet, I don't know what scenes he had--I gather they probably involved yelling at people, given the comparison to Cam Math--but he can play a lot else.

Kendall, run away from the Ryan! Your girlfister (hee!) is missing and you're wasting time on that caveman?

I was fine with it yesterday when it was an obvious tactic to keep herself from thinking about her GF, but not so fine with it today when she was acting like she really gave a fig for a moment. I just don't believe Kendall would've slowed down in her search for Bianca to try to decide whether Gryan are sleeping together or not. It's cold out and Bianca/Babe have been missing for 24 hours now--time's of the essence here.

I did think it was Kendall-ish to practically be writing Bianca's death certificate already. Unlike Babe, Kendall knows how things tend to go with the Kane-Montgomery family in general, and herself and Bianca in particular: A situation can always get worse, and usually does, and neither of them are ever going to be happy for more than five minutes.

Damn, did David Tom hit the rack jackpot during that day of taping.

Oh, he must've been pinching himself to make sure it wasn't all a dream. Getting to carry around tanktop-wearing Eden and Alexa? Lucky bastard. But that was another reason why I was sorry it wasn't Brock Cuchna playing the scenes today, since he's cute while DT is fugly. The prettiness quotient can never be pushed up too high!

Here's a question, since I haven't been here long and you all seem to be experts on AMC and McT...I really haven't watched Susan Lucci for long...but is it the writing that makes her look pathetic or is it just the way she is? I mean, she's been doing this for so long, and with all those Emmy nods, I know she has to be better than what I see, right? She just seems like a shadow of the power and fire I expect from an actress of her calibur.
Black Knight
krizmic, Susan is an excellent comedic actress with a pinpoint sense of timing. There are certain kinds of drama she does well and certain kinds of drama she does not. The last month or so, when Erica's been pissed off but holding it all in about Bianca's pregnancy, is a great example of the sort of drama she does well. She does corporate hijinks well. But otherwise, she tends to chew the scenery, go way over the top, and simply cannot cry.

I was basing my blasphemous Cameron-like comment on the scene where he was doing the pitch for Craze - especially "since TIME IMMEMORIAL!". But since there are 2 people here vouching for him, I'll give him a second chance.

Nope Krismic, what ya see is what ya get. The mystery to me is not why she never got the damned Emmy, but why she was nominated year after year. To be fair, in the old days she had some pretty meaty storylines and carried the show for a long time (she was the first to have a TV abortion). Sadly, however, she refuses to give up the diva spotlight and is becoming a charicature of herself. I have fond memories of La Kane, but her acting has always been bad and hammy. When you're young and pretty a lot of things can be forgiven, but. . .

Random Person- Pine Valley airport? Do I smell Olga's exit?

Hey, y'all forgot to mention the set sharing. Budget cutting disguised as Crapstravaganza!

I watched maybe a hour and 15 in the breakroom. Thank god for my files and for Kinks ... or I would've vomited if I had to pay attention to this whle thing.

The Greenlee/Kendall Kinks-y convo cracked my shit up, man. Rebecca deadpanned it like a pro.

I was basing my blasphemous Cameron-like comment on the scene where he was doing the pitch for Craze - especially "since TIME IMMEMORIAL!". But since there are 2 people here vouching for him, I'll give him a second chance.


Ah, just saw that scene. That's just Tuc for ya. He's a snarky, cocky devil. I'd say he's OLTL's answer to Michael E. Knight. David's a very Tad-like character. If you ever get into OLTL, I'd wager that you'd fall for him.

Topic? JR's final scene? SO. WEAK. I can't believe this guy is an Emmy winner. He's laughable. Bring back Johnathan Bennett (he was the one making out with Kendall, right?) He was pretty cute, and a decent actor.
CKD
The mystery to me is not why she never got the damned Emmy, but why she was nominated year after year.


But she did win the Emmy. I was watching to see if Rosie would win for best talk show and I remember the screams heard around the world to the tune of "the streak is over!" She gave a nice little speech about her kids and cake and something else. And she was wearing white. What? I have a photographic memory.

Anyway - LaLucci, as BK pointed out, can do comedy and corporate hijinks really well. I've only been watching for a little while, but both her comedic turns and the work she's done the last month or so have been incredible. Today was a bit of the Erica of old, but she's been hitting one high note after another for a few weeks now. Excellent work.

onewomanshow, I miss Kenlee, too. I love Kinks, I've given us the Kinks Is Love fake tag, but I still miss Kenlee. There was a glimpse, a glimmer of it today and I got hooked all over again.
Darn
ABC HYPERBOLE MACHINE! Watch as Erica and Viki bump into each other and BECOME ONE!

THE STORY CONTINUES...

Erica: Oh my apologies for bumping into you.
Viki: That's okay, I'm fine.
Erica: Well, have a good day.
Viki: You too.

[end scene]
SkiffyPup
It's a Kinkslee Sistrangle now. Heh.

How bad was JY today? Old Yeller was back and he could not shed a realistic tear or present a believable sense of panic.

I cannot believe they are handing the show over to these younger actors. The boys all suck except "Jaime."

The girls are all fine-to-great except "Maggie."
onewomanshow
CKD, it makes me feel better to know that I'm not on this broken down, abandoned and rapidly rusting Kenlee lovetrain sniffling all by my lonesome.

The boys all suck except "Jaime."


Hey, "Reggie"/MBJ keeks booty, man!

And word to the Ryan fluffing during today's episode being wildly unrealistic and inappropriate. Just kill the useless bastard already! Ugh.
SFHagood
But since there are 2 people here vouching for him, I'll give him a second chance.

Ooh! Ooh! Add me to the Tuc love!! Cam Math is over the top because that is the only way he knows how to be. Tuc was over the top in that scene because he knows how to do campy, cocky, Magnificent Bastard goodness. And I think comparing him to Tad is a pretty fair comparison.

I wasn't so harsh on JY today because I felt for the character, especially with his "take me" stuff. But yeah, the acting was not so great.

I couldn't tell if it was just the lighting on my t.v. combined with Eden's make-up, but I could have sworn that Binks was bruised on her face?

I mean, fuck CSI, Barney Fife would know in about five seconds that Paul's story stinks to high heaven that the crash was staged.

::snerk::
We need Aiden to wrap his brain around this one. And he needs to be shirtless while he does it.

Hey, "Reggie"/MBJ keeks booty, man!


Ahem. I hope I'm misunderstanding this quote. I hope you're not saying he kicks acting ass. I hope you're actually saying how suck-tastic the boy is.

I remember around sixth months ago, when I hadn't been watching for a long time. My mother called me and said I had to catch an episode of AMC because there was this new kid on who was so awful, even she had to change the channel when his ugly mug appeared. The boy was our Reggie. And I had to agree and still do agree with her wholeheartedly. Yuk squared.
katesus7
I was fine with it yesterday when it was an obvious tactic to keep herself from thinking about her GF, but not so fine with it today when she was acting like she really gave a fig for a moment. I just don't believe Kendall would've slowed down in her search for Bianca to try to decide whether Gryan are sleeping together or not.


I totally agree. I completely saw through her "Gryan" ruse during Monday's show, because it was just so obvious to me that she was trying to do anything to not think about Bianca. Today, she had hope that Bianca was out there, but STILL kept obsessing over Ryan and his relationship with Greenlee. No! I do give Alicia some slack, because she's so incredible on a day to day basis, I can't blame her for dealing with the Ryan dialogue she's forced to deal with. She handles it the best she can.

Hey, "Reggie"/MBJ keeks booty, man!


Ahem. I hope I'm misunderstanding this quote. I hope you're not saying he kicks acting ass. I hope you're actually saying how suck-tastic the boy is.


No, you're not misunderstanding it. I, as well as many other people on this board, absolutely love Reggie and the actor that portrays him. I think he has been slowly but powerfully becoming an indispensable part of not only AMC, but the family that he desperately wants to be a part of. He’s the only person that could’ve realistically delivered that smack-down to Erica that he did (the best part of Monday’s episode, IMO), and I don’t even mind him dealing with a newbie chick, because I care about everything he does. I love both the character and the actor, and I’m glad that AMC isn’t wasting either one of them.

As to the whole “two hour seemless episode?” Yes, let me echo numerous others when I say, Damn you ABC!! Of course, I chose to take today off (No, NOT because I was worried about taping over ATWT. Really, that’s not why!!). But I must say, I finally realized today that it is completely possible to watch an entire hour soap in under 4 minutes. But, come on. At least the AMC hour had 1 crossover - of course it was Nu-nu-Paul. But the OLTL hour had absolutely nothing for the AMC viewer to care about. So Kelly was hesitant. So she really wanted her son. I don’t give a crap, she stole Babe/Bianca’s baby. She should rot in hell, and I could’ve come to that conclusion without watching OLTL today. Blech!

In short, here’s where I stand in this soap: Timone rocks! Krystal needs to go to therapy to learn how to complete a sentence without using the words “baby doll” and/or “little girl”. Kinks need to continue to bring the Kinks. Ryan needs to be washed away in the flood, or else realize his love for JR, and vice versa. Naggie and Jamie should shack up - in another country. Everyone needs to tell Erica that she’s a diva that has gotten too old and annoying to coddle. Kendall and David should realize that they’re hotter than any other two people in this show, and just stand around together being hot. Aiden can be hot all on his own. Babe and Bianca should raise their OWN TWO babies together in a sort of commune. Without any interaction between husbands/best friends/mothers. Sisters are, of course, allowed and encouraged. There, does that cover everything?

Oh, wait, one more thing. Kinks is Love.
SkiffyPup
emaf- you and your mother live in an alternate universe from the rest of us Reggie squealers.

Katseus? Yes- that does, in fact, cover it. :-D
krizmic
I'm with the Reggie/MBJ lovers! He's fantastic...and with all he's done for our Kinks...he's in my heart forever

OK, maybe no one else saw the "preview" of the week's AMC (pre GH's "on the next..." today)...it had scenes from tomorrow with Paul lying and Kendall crying "No!"...but the last little fade-away was what had me...Kendall at Bianca's bedside (hospital, I presume) holding her hand and stroking her head...

My daily Kinks fix has been attained :)

Kinks is Love
CookieOK
Oh, yes........we'll get tons and tons of Kinks the next few days.

Gawd forbid anyone would even CONSIDER bringing Lena back from Chicago.

Gee, can ya tell I'm bitter??????

The "Crossover":

I hardly care about anyone on AMC any more.......WTH should I care about anyone on OLTL? I don't even know them!
onewomanshow
katesus7, Bwah, hahaha! And WORD! to your entire post.

Babe and Bianca should raise their OWN TWO babies together in a sort of commune. Without any interaction between husbands/best friends/mothers. Sisters are, of course, allowed and encouraged.


Especially to this part. Although, I would add "and Hottie McHot, ne' er-do-well, sexually ambiguous cousins" to the last sentence. Now, THAT'S an AMC I'd never miss!

Kendall at Bianca's bedside (hospital, I presume) holding her hand and stroking her head...


Ooooo, am I sorry that I missed that. *sigh*

Kinks is love.
Black Knight
Krystal needs to go to therapy to learn how to complete a sentence without using the words “baby doll” and/or “little girl”.

katesus7, this made me laugh so hard I cried. You were right on with everything you said, but I loved this best. Hee!

Today, she had hope that Bianca was out there, but STILL kept obsessing over Ryan and his relationship with Greenlee. No! I do give Alicia some slack, because she's so incredible on a day to day basis, I can't blame her for dealing with the Ryan dialogue she's forced to deal with. She handles it the best she can.

I definitely don't blame Alicia--she has to spout the lines they give her. I actually thought she passported quite a bit of it, like she was thinking to herself, "Okay, this makes NO sense that I would keep standing here talking to either of these two and really seeming to care about whether they're together when Bianca is missing, so whatever, just get though the dialogue." In this situation, Kendall would lash out, as she did yesterday and as she did in her early scenes with Greenlee, or get on with looking, not stand there seriously trying to figure out whether Gryan's a couple.

I couldn't tell if it was just the lighting on my t.v. combined with Eden's make-up, but I could have sworn that Binks was bruised on her face?

For what it's worth, on my tv, dark circles under her eyes were quite visible, but no bruises. I really must congratulate the makeup artists for the job they've done on Eden the last few days, not just for how poorly she looks, but also for the very natural progression--as time has gone on, Bianca's looked worse and worse and it's easy to believe she's been losing blood continuously since, oh, probably near the end of her labor.

It was disgusting watching Kelly fawning all over Babe's baby--especially when Babe made me go "awwwww" some more earlier with how she wanted to hold Miranda as well as her own son during the helicopter flight--and it made me ill to think of Kelly breastfeeding Babe's baby. Step off, bitch. (I can't even imagine what my reaction would've been if it'd been Mimo.) I don't think Babe even got to do that herself before Paul took her son away. I thought it was interesting that Dorian--Adam's friend--was the first of the OLTLers aside from Todd to get a look at the baby. Unfortunately she seems to be quite in love with the kid already, which is too bad because it looks like she may well be the first to figure it out on the OLTL side.

Gawd forbid anyone would even CONSIDER bringing Lena back from Chicago.

I believe this was taped during the time that Olga needed to be in London for two weeks. As such, I think it's probably best that they mentioned Lena early on and haven't since, because otherwise they'd have to keep manufacturing ridiculous excuses for why Lena isn't back in PV yet. One manufactured excuse is enough, after that best to let it lie.
kariyaki
I'm torn on whether Paul's the father or not. Before, I was leaning in that direction, but when alone with the baby, he referred to himself as Uncle Paul with no sense of irony whatsoever.

The paternity test only told whether or not JR was the father. Since two other guys (James and Paul) are in the running for it, Paul still has no way of knowing if he's the father or not if it said "no." I'm assuming that he either doubts The Booby is his or he's just distancing himself from the kid since it's now supposed to be Kelly's. Again, this would be easier to tell if David Tom was layering his performance instead of playing it so one-dimensionally.
SkiffyPup
Last thoughts (ever? You wish.) There is no way I would ever Ever EVER watch the crapgasm of OLTL. I cought some crossover before on Babe .. Opal ... today .. whatever and ... Robin Strasser is all that and Erika is a pro at selling crap ... but shit, yo. That show makes AMC look like ... well, a peer... but I can still only watch one crapfest. Just can't add.

Now, if there were a pile of hotlez hoyay on OLTL, I'd switch maybe ... but I am sticking to my one show guns on this. (Okay - here is the part where they have Boanca dating hotchix on both shows and they force me to eat my words and squeal like a BKPig, right? I WISH!)
txm79
katesus7, your post was a thing of beauty.

Tomorrow's ep will make me curl up on the couch and weep. I wonder how long they'll drag this baby SL out.

I have to agree to the stupidity of Kendall having Ryan relationship issues during the Missing Bianca Hoopla. That was ridiculous.

Although this is old, I really liked Kendall's Erica smackdown. It could've been longer, but there will be more smackdowns to come. Hopefully there will be one so good I can call it Smackdown of the Century and treasure it for years to come.

Also, JR and his fuzzy pink dice made me laugh in what may have been an inhuman way. I really wanted him to scream, "DAMN YOU, LADY LUCK!" but if he had the laughter would have killed me dead. I do feel kind of bad for JR, but JY sucks.

I will add my Reggie love, and my Ryan hate.
emdroberts
Now, if there were a pile of hotlez hoyay on OLTL, I'd switch maybe ... but I am sticking to my one show guns on this.


There’s no lesbian Ho!Yay but we do get older woman/younger man hot sex with Rex/Lindsay and David/Dorian. I’d dare say D&D are even better then Kinks.

Actually, come to think of it, I heard people mention that Dorian and Viki must secretly be in love with each other. And besides D&D they are my favorite couple on the show. And you did say you liked Robin and Erika.

Do what I do. Record AMC and watch Kinks and Adam. Then record OLTL and watch D&D, D&V, and Starr and Jack. You can watch the whole thing in about 40 minutes.
jenmarie
I'm still cracking up at the absolute incompetence of the searchers, not to mention the talk of having trouble getting hold of manpower. Please. Two young, heavily-pregnant women missing? The entire damn county would be volunteering to walk along Route 32. They'd have to turn people away. Not to mention how well-connected both Bianca and Babe are.


Where the hell were all the helicopters? Shouldn't there have been more than a few out looking for Babe and Bianca?

JR and Adam threaten Paul about Babe's baby and he gets scared shitless and says it's Babe's baby and Bianca's baby is the one that fell out and Kendall breaks down in tears.


Awwwww. Poor Kendall. McTrash is evil and must be stopped.

I mean, fuck CSI, Barney Fife would know in about five seconds that Paul's story stinks to high heaven that the crash was staged.


::snerk::
We need Aiden to wrap his brain around this one. And he needs to be shirtless while he does it.


Hee! Mmmmmmmm...Shirtless Aiden.

I laughed my ass off at that crash scene though. It couldn't have looked anymore fake. My favorite bit was the tree branch neatly propped up against the incubator.

I love both the character and the actor, and I’m glad that AMC isn’t wasting either one of them.


Word, katesus7. Does anyone here watch The Wire? Remember the first season? MBJ was on the show for several episodes. He was awfully cute on that show, but then at the end of the season he got blown away. Sniff. He's improved alot as an actor since being on The Wire.
Edens Grief
JR and Adam threaten Paul about Babe's baby and he gets scared shitless and says it's Babe's baby and Bianca's baby is the one that fell out and Kendall breaks down in tears.


I hate McTrash for doing this! After all Bianca and Kendall have been through this year, why, WHY can't they let them keep their baby? This is total and utter BS and I can't stand it. I don't even think I want to watch AMC again for a long time!
Dabney
We all know that Cam Math can't act .. but I was laughing so hard yesterday when David implied that Ryan could be behind Bianca's disappearance, and Cam said "What (pause for like 20 seconds) THE HELL did you just say?" He totally put the emphasis on the wrong words.

For those of you who watch OLTL, I have a question about those people. So, Heather Tom's Kelly is married to Teen Witch's Kevin. Kevin spends too much time with Blair. Todd and Kelly want to make sure that Kevin and Blair don't get together, and a baby is the only way to do that? Is that all I really need to know?
SFHagood
That's sort of it, Dabney. Kelly and Kevin (KeKe) were about to be divorced because of cheating all around, Kelly in the past and Kevin with Blair (Blevin). Then, in a last ditch effort to save her marriage, Kelly made up that she was preggers, then actually became preggers, but she has some medical problem that makes it high risk. This got Blevin apart for a little while, but not for long. Then Kelly lost her baby. Instead of kicking Kevin's ass to the the door, she decided that she had to have a baby to keep Kevin. Enter assy Paul and the SL that made 1,000 eyes roll in disgust. Todd is a late addition into the fray. He's just happy that he has new info to screw up Kevin's life.
Dabney
Thanks, SFHagood. I just keep hoping that if both the OLTL people and the AMC people hate this story as much as we all think, then TPTB will wrap up everything faster than they anticipate.
Black Knight
I laughed my ass off at that crash scene though. It couldn't have looked anymore fake. My favorite bit was the tree branch neatly propped up against the incubator.

Paul is definitely not a master schemer. Carefully covering Babe and Bianca up certainly doesn't help the realism of making it look like they were thrown out of the copter, either. (At least he left Babe sprawled on the ground after he drugged her for the second time.) I was laughing so hard at how he was bashing that radio over and over with a rock. Was it made of titanium steel or something?

And Babe is the most tolerant person on the planet. Paul tells her that the helicopter crashed, and she's all "That's okay."
Stinkerbella
Cam said "What (pause for like 20 seconds) THE HELL did you just say?" He totally put the emphasis on the wrong words.


Dabney, I was laughing at the same thing. CamMath is either too jarring in his performances or he's trying to do his best William Shatner impersonation. Ryan is a complete nutsack.

So let me get this straight folks, NuFuglyPaul is gonna make it seem as if his whirly-bird took off but crashed immediately after take off...hence Greenlee seeing the whirly-bird or...what?

I have to say that I loved Krystal's speech about motherhood to Erica. Erica honey, take notes!

Edited to add that Hee! Olga just posted at SS about all the flowers she's been receiving...calling it "The Flower Offensive". She's so damn classy. Apparently they are being bombarded with gifts for her.
SkiffyPup
Olga is comedy gold! The way she perceives fan love as a battle tactic ... partially true. I am so sorry to have her leave. AMC will be even sorrier, I'd wager.
CKD
At least this post didn't get anyone in trouble or, you know, break news. *cough*

I heart Olga: a very funny and classy post - and I love that the flowers are getting stacked near the Executive Producer's office. Mwah ha ha!
senso mccoy
When Krystal and JR hugged, did anyone else yell out, "Look! It's Macy and Rick!" at the TV? Just me, huh?
dirksunboy
So far all this "crossover" hype, THAT WAS IT????
The only AMC character on OLTL was the baby! Feh. Waste of my time!

The boyfriend and I watched it last night with a married couple we're friends with, who have become hooked on AMC by default since they're home for lunch at that time. The wife's due to have her first baby in about a month, so it was fun listenening to her bitch about how Babe and Bianca are the skinniest pregnant women EVER, and the husband was ALL about Babe's rack!

I tell them about stuff that is said on this board that cracks me up, and last night they were saying "I bet the women on that AMC board you visit are in boob heaven this week!" HAH!

And we all agreed that the impossible has happened: We all love Babe now!

They also got a chuckle out of the whole Ryan/Puppet Angel thing. Hee!
Sappy
The good:

Kendall all freaked out over Binks.
I liked the slow motion effect used to show Paul gauging his options.
Tad is so onto Paul.
Kendall made me cry when she found out Mimo was gone...

The Bad:

Greenlee called David before 911...will these people ever learn?
Naggie is nagging me with her expressionless face, go away.

The contrived:

Nobody saw the baby until she cried.
Why Babe who is very conscious hasn't allude to the baby as my baby boy once is beyond stupid.
Babe's baby is supposed to be a primy. After looking at it, David should have known it wasn't Babe's or at least the pediatrician at the hospital should know.

The I don't care:

Medmund, La isla bonita.



Erica you're too little too late, Binks and Kendall won't be able to forgive you for quite some time if ever...which is ok with me. Kinks is very self-sufficient right now.
Dabney
If Babe remembers at some point that she had a boy, shouldn't she remember that Paul also told her that her baby died? I don't think that is something she will forget easily.
SFHagood
I actually went hunting around on the net last night for stuff about Alexa. I found a whole heck of a lot of thumbnail pics of a photo shoot she did in January, and all I have to say is girl knows how to work a camera.

For a crossover special, they sure did put a bunch of boring OLTL SLs out there. I mean ::yawn:: is all I have to say about that. You'd think they'd parade the pretty like John McBain, but no.

Dabney, I was laughing at the same thing. CamMath is either too jarring in his performances or he's trying to do his best William Shatner impersonation. Ryan is a complete nutsack.


Hee! Can't you just see Ryan going KAHN!!!!?

Wild feed for thursday
From Dabri 99

Thursday's Episode


Promo for what has happened in the story of the two babies so far.

Erica asks Jackson, Kendall, Maggie where is the baby.

JR in the room with the baby and keeps asking the doctor if the baby is ok.

Tad telling Paul he is lying.

Krystal talking to Babe who is sort of out of it. Babe keeps saying baby dead.

Adam comes in to talk to JR to celebrate new life.

Kendall walks off, Jackson starts to fill Erica in on what happened. When he starts to mention the baby Maggie walks off. Jackson then continues and tells Erica that the baby is missing. Erica just has this weird look and expression. Hugs Jackson and then walks off.

Tad questions and Paul and ask why he didn't have medic unless he didn't want anyone to see what was going on.

Maggie is crying and pulls out the lamb from her bag/purse. David comes and tells her Bianca is in surgery for a rupture artery. Maggie then asks how we are going to tell her about her baby. David tells her to go home and get rest. Says she can't because of all the baby stuff back in the apartment. (Sounds like how Anna was with Leora) Maggie then ask why this is happening.

Kendall is making the hospital room nice for Bianca. Jackson comes in and she asks about Bianca. Then Kendall goes into her rant about how it's all Erica's fault. Jackson tells her to let it go.

Erica goes to the chapel in the hospital and prays for her family.

Paul tells his story of what all happened that night. Never mentions what Bianca's baby's gender. Then says he has a baby to find.

JR then tells Adam it could of been our baby that was missing. Adam tells him to not dwell on Bianca and rejoice for the new baby.

Babe then mumbles about Miranda and Bianca. Krystal then talks to Anita, and Anita tells her she has an infection and the best thing for her is to get some rest.

Anita tells Bobby what happened with Bianca and Babe and says one of the babies is missing.

Jackson and Kendall discussing the whole deal.

Erica praying and remember when Bianca was born. (NO Flashback)

Jackson defends Erica and says we need to act like a family to help Bianca through this.

Bobby comes into the chapel and talks to Erica.

Jamie upset saying you can't trust Paul. Reggie saying we need to find Bianca's baby. (great Reggie scene) Tad says he knows and that he is proud of them for doing the right thing and helping look for the baby. Paul then goes and bust up the other incubator.

Babe asks where "HE" is, in reference to the baby. She's still in out of it.

Bianca is put in her room and Kendall talks to the nurse.

David holds the lamb. Krystal then talks to him. David tells her that this baby was Bianca's hope. He starts talking basically about his memories of Leora. Krystal says I'm sorry about the loss of your daughter and he's like I didn't say that. Krystal says but i know and puts her hand on his knee.

Jackson comes into the chapel where Erica is still praying and sits down.

Maggie watches Bianca and Kendall in her room through the window. Bianca then says Miranda a couple of times but she is still out of it.

JR brings the baby into Babe's room ( If Babe has an infection is it safe for a baby to come into the room?) Babe is in an out of it.

Previews:

Brooke slaps Adam

Ryan/Kendall

Greenlee tells Bobby to stay away from Erica

Babe tells Erica she has something to tell her about the baby.
kariyaki
If Babe remembers at some point that she had a boy, shouldn't she remember that Paul also told her that her baby died? I don't think that is something she will forget easily.

That's easily backpedaled by Paul if Boobe remembers. He can just say that he didn't know which baby had hit the water.
Black Knight
Anyone else let out a screech of horror when Maria started disrobing? Dammit, this paralysis is supposed to keep us safe from Maurmund sex!

I like Bobby and Anita, but AMC is doing them no favors by sticking them mostly in eps where major action is going down elsewhere and they're getting in the way.

Sappy, I also liked the slow-mo effect used with Paul as he made up his mind on what to do. It was fitting for a turning point that drastically impacted a number of people.

Krystal, shut up. I want to like you, I do, and I have been mostly liking you the last couple of weeks, until you turned into a coddling, enabling Erica Worshipper. Why, why couldn't AMC have simply left it at Krystal comforting Erica, instead of going this far? Whatever impact Kendall's words had on Erica is gone. Erica has now completely reconstructed her cold, calculating, intentionally-as-hurtful-as-possible ripping apart of her daughters in her own mind as, again, an attempt to protect them. And more whining about the rape baby. Shut up, Erica! Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut the FUCK UP! And here's wimpy Jack in the previews trying to call Kendall off Erica. He better not succeed. Kendall needs to hand out another bitch-slapping, stat. When Erica started in on the rape baby some more, I really started feeling ill thinking about the self-satisfied smirk she'll have when she hears that Mimo is "gone". I just know a "This is all for the best" is coming from her. And both Kendall and Bianca had better smack their evil harridan of a mother when she says it. Poor Bianca. She's better off unconscious as long as possible, what with the "joys" of her baby's death and her loving mother to wake up to.

Well, at least Kendall got to be happy for one minute looking at her niece before Paul lied. Poor Kendall. After her initial tears, I think she was in shock for the rest of the episode after Paul said the baby was Babe's. Too bad, because that meant Paul didn't learn that Kendall is just as scary, if not scarier, as Adam. Looks like, from tomorrow's previews, she's no longer in shock. Good. She's got asses to kick and Bianca's hand to hold.
Dabney
She's got asses to kick and Bianca's hand to hold.

Sets being worked on tomorrow, Thursday the 25th include (but not limited to): Las Vegas Casino Bar, hospital nurses' station, Babe's hospital room, and the hospital sun porch.

Was anyone else yellin for Reggie, Tad, and Jamie to just kick Paul's babystealing ass? Then take him to Kendall, David, Jack, and the rest of Pine Valley and let them all kick his babystealing ass? Cause I was, I was yelling with a vengance.
DrCher
When Tad says that he's going to investigate Paul, does that mean Tad is going to sleep with him? Because everytime Tad 'investigates' something, he ends up in a bed.
kariyaki
I'd say David should slip Paul some of his special impotence cocktail but Paul strikes me as strangely androgynous so I'm not sure it would work. I think unleashing Kendall on him would satisfy my bloodlust.

BWAH drCher! I was wondering the same thing. Paul looks like he could swing either way, so maybe, strictly in the interests of "finding the truth", our Tad the Cad will develop a "special friendship" with him.

Bwah! Comedy gold, DrCher.

Erica all of a sudden cares about the baby (for three seconds anyway)? Shut up, you tool: you're twenty years too late!

I, too, was hoping that Kendall would come out of her shock faster so that she might rip off Paul's head: maybe after she leaves the hospital tomorrow she'll go looking for him and take a propeller to his throat.
kariyaki
Speaking of head-ripping, someone in the OLTL thread posted this gem that I just had to share:

I was just thinking that the only thing I have to look forward to in this whole horrible Two Babies. Dead Babies. Medivac. mess is Kendall ripping Paul's head clean off his shoulders with her bare hands. That I would like to see. Then the population of both towns lifts Kendall up on their shoulders and parades her around, holding Paul's bloody head in the air like Salome.


Everyone wants to see that dude Marie Antoinetted.
