You're all just confused- you bunch of Maggies! BWAH!
Is there any Kinks today? I only want to watch if there is some Kinks. I've become a hardcore 'shipper, Yo. I was on hold on OUTQ and ready to spread the Kinks love ... then Eden had to cut it short and go to the set. Damn. Doubledamn.
Foiled. Oh, Dark Father- how could you let that happen?

And I may be the only person on this board to think this but...I'm just not attracted to Eden. No, nothing is wrong with me. I mean I'm straight which could explain why there isn't an attraction but I'd sooo go gay for Olga. Look at me, I'm all Naggie now, flipping my sexuality from day to day. Feh! Shame on me.

Nope. Not the only one. And nope, it's not cuz I'm straight either, cuz I think plenty of the girls on the show are hot. Eden just ain't one of them. Neither is Olga frankly. Olga less so. *snicker* With the Eden factor, I think it's mostly because I've known of Eden since she was like 10 and to look at her that way now would just be wrong. *snicker*

Okay...THIS is why my friends call me the "gayest straight girl they know."

Ha. Same here! "You are SO gay!"

Dude, that was just MEAN.

Nope. Not the only one. And nope, it's not cuz I'm straight either, cuz I think plenty of the girls on the show are hot. Eden just ain't one of them.

Okay, now I'm starting to feel like the only one who does ogle her. That's alright! I admit, I didn't find Eden all that attractive at first either. I thought she was beautiful, but she didn't have that "I would soooo do her" sexual appeal to her, she was a bit too mousy for me. And this is going to sound weird, but when I started to really take note of how much I loved her hair, it was over. I have this HUGE hair fetish and Eden has got a great head of hair.

No, little one, you aren't the only Eden ogler. Black Knight has taken Eden lust and made it a science. Eden, Alicia, and Rebecca are the lust triple threat for me. Give me one (or all!) and I'm a happy, drooly camper. I thank Pervy daily for the bounty of hotness that the three of them and their wonderful personal trainer put on my screen. Hey, I'm shallow, man. Plot kinda sucking? Who cares! Look at all that pretty! Now, excuse me, I have to go swim a few laps in a thimble.

Gosh, they are just gonna stomp all over Bianca's fragile little heart. Eden was incredible today. And Mimo--she knows she's with her mama and is just hoping that man with the Scary Hair doesn't ever touch her again!!

C'mon, Tad!! I am cheering for you as loud as I can. You made *total* sense today, don't give up. Krystal knows you might be right...don't give up on your gut feeling here, guy. (I loved how he said "What if every maternal instinct Bianca has is telling her that baby is Miranda?" Maybe Tad won't think Bianca is nuts?)

And Kendall. Honey, I love you. I heart you. But, woman, what the hell are you doing standing around while Bianca is out there!? She needs you and Frankenbrow is where you are focusing your attention?! Go find your sister!! And then Aidan.

See, for me, I'm all about some Eden Racky Goodness, or Rebecca, but neither Olga nor Alicia do it for me. Also, NuAnita ogling is my favorite new AMC activity, so you're not alone, Mystic0. To each her own, of course!

Go Tad!! Go, go, go! You and your new boyfriend. Taidan: now with 100% more Ho!Yay.

Heh. Just for pure, mindless lust, Rebecca for years has always been the front-runner in the war for my libido's affections. Her ranking has slipped, but my love for her remains. I've always thought Eden a damn pretty girl but didn't hop on the Eden's hot train until the body of sin started getting showcased around 2001 or so. Plus, to me, talent increases an actor's hotness tenfold, so Eden's talent helped push her yumminess factor way on up there. Alicia is staggeringly beautiful but it's really that kick-ass charisma of hers that takes her from being just another beautiful woman (on a show filled with beautiful women) and makes her a very valuable member of my Holy Trinity of Lust (TM SVU board).

Hey, I haven't gotten to see AMC this week! I've missed you guys so shallow is all I have to offer!

Thanks for the heads-up SKIFFYPUP!!!!

I am not a regular watcher of the RIPA show but I will make sure to tune in for this since it sounds like a HOOT!!

<moderator> Re: Lena/Bianca's good-bye: According to Eden, it's something Lianca fans will really, really,

<moderator> We spoke about how emotional it was to film those scenes.

<jb> Lianca fans won't really really love it unless the door is open for Lena's return, either Olga or a
recast.

<moderator> A recast for Lena is not out of the question, but not immediately in the works.

I've always thought Eden a damn pretty girl but didn't hop on the Eden's hot train until the body of sin started getting showcased around 2001 or so.

It's RACKtastic, isn't it?

Plus, to me, talent increases an actor's hotness tenfold, so Eden's talent helped push her yumminess factor way on up there.

For me, reading interviews with her and seeing how she is genuinely happy to be doing what she is and how gracious she is to all her fans makes her SO hot. Fuck! I am so her bitch.

Word. I didn't think she was hot at first sight either. Cute, but not hot. But being a good actress, being passionate about her work, and her tendency to dork out at times make me Eden's bitch, too. Oh, and the bod from god (although, I still think she could stand to gain 10 pounds or so).

Bianca taking a picture with Mimo today was just so, so sad. And not good, soapy, sad. It depressed the hell out of me.

Hee, right on, Rif! I'm a whore for the geek chic. I hate perfect people, give me a dork any day.

Bianca taking a picture with Mimo today was just so, so sad. And not good, soapy, sad. It depressed the hell out of me.

Word! I just watched all this week's eps and the Binks/Mimo scenes are just freakin' sad. Poor Bianca is so damn happy and baby besotted, you know it's gonna be harsh when Bianca's idiot loved ones take Mimo away from her. I barely made it through the first time Bianca lost Mimo, this will likely be twice as bad. (weeps) Cripes, the pain, man!

(happy thoughts) How much did I love Bianca's introducing Mimo to Kendall's pic? Hee, Kinks are so smitten with each other. Look at Kendall, she's perfectly willing to jet Binks and a 'kidnapped' baby out of town just to make her GF happy. Screw the pain it would cause JR and Babe, it's all about keepin' the little woman in her happy place. Baby, that's love.

I won't bore you all with my rundown on all the eps but my disturbing Babe love keeps growing (She stopped JR from calling the cops! Awwwwww) and NuAnita continues to be cool (She's living up to her newfound position as Bianca's Bitch nicely. You tell Nurse Bitchface off, pretty girl!). Not!Joni bugs and Adam is an ass (who I still love but grrrr).

Yep, this week of seeing Bianca totally deluded and happy is even more depressing than I thought it would be. Apparently, McTrash has decided that her audience is made up completely of masochists. And, well, considering I've watched it all damn week, she might just be right. Stupid me.

Man, Macy was doing a hell of a job today, because I alternated between screaming my head off at Krystal (no, it's NOT cruel what Tad is proposing, you idiot, it's smart abd logical, and it would be even more cruel for no one to be sure, and have the parents find out 5 years down the road that they were wrong about the babies. GAH), and just wanting to comfort her. Once she gets rid of the "little girl/baby doll" repetition and cheesy talk, she's a hell of a lot more compelling to watch. Those are the only scenes today that had me totally riveted.

I just watched all this week's eps and the Binks/Mimo scenes are just freakin' sad. Poor Bianca is so damn happy and baby besotted, you know it's gonna be harsh when Bianca's idiot loved ones take Mimo away from her. I barely made it through the first time Bianca lost Mimo, this will likely be twice as bad. (weeps) Cripes, the pain, man!

Heck, yeah. I'm trying to watch Bianca, just because I luv her (and please add me to the list of being in her thrall, even though I'm a straight female), but it's just too hard. I know she's going to get her heart ripped out, I don't have the stomach to watch her, and all of the anvils falling on her head without her realizing it. I don't have that much tolerance.

Ryan still sucks. Kendall is less believable to me every scene she stays talking to Ryan and not running her ass off to find her girlfister. Greenlee and Kendall have had the best scenes of anyone this week. I'm back to completely hating Adam with a passion, and it's about time. Reggie and new girl, I just don't care. Anita? My heart is breaking for her, but I hope she and Bobby break up, because these are two new characters who I'm interested in, and the sooner they hook up with people I actually care about, the better. I'm perfectly happy with Anita/Aiden and Bobby/Greenlee.

My new hope for Simone? After they get rid of Juan Pablo, and certain other excess dead weight, they can bring on a new, mysterious man that completely sweeps her off her feet, and matches her quip for quip, and totally overcomes all of her insecurities. Sigh. OT/ Like when Ryan swept Vicky up on his horse, and a glorious romance was born. \OT

I have just two words for this one: Nolan.North. OK, two more words: Pretty please??? I've been wanting them to hire NN on as a new doctor and pair him with Simone since I first heard of the Port Charles cancelation. NN and TI would be great together, I'm convinced of it, sight unseen, and I don't think I've ever been willing to ship a couple without ever seeing interaction (or without one of the characters being even a gleam in the show's eye).

I love Tad so much. Words just fail me.

On the bad side, if they continue to make this about Ryan and Kendall reuniting over Bianca's pain, I just know I'm going to hurl on a regular basis. The Ryan fluffing almost makes me long for the more innocent days of Carlos fluffing. At least with the Carlos fluffing, we got to see Rebecca Budig's distaste at the job. The Ryan fluffing, however? I have yet to see one damn actor/actress seem even uncomfortable with it. Poor ER even has to fluff him in dreams about Bianca getting her baby back. That's just 1,000 different kinds of wrong right there.

I'm on the Straight Girls for Eden ship as well.

Heh. Me too. I have a raging straight girl crush on ER.

Like when Ryan swept Vicky up on his horse, and a glorious romance was born.

Eeeeee! That was one of my favorite soap moments ever! I loved Ryan and Vicky.

Bianca taking a picture with Mimo today was just so, so sad. And not good, soapy, sad. It depressed the hell out of me.

Word. On top of that McTrash is using Bianca's tragedy to fluff Ryan and prop Kryan. I really hope those rumors about reshoots and Bianca getting her baby back by May are true, because I don't know how much longer I can watch this SL. I'm this close to quitting the show and I just might if they have Paul or Todd or whoever switch DNA results so everyone thinks Miranda really is Bess.

Today's show was sad and irritated the crap out of me. Babe and JR kept talking about THEIR daughter and they don't know what they would do if they lost THEIR baby. It was just too much. I know they're innocent in all of this but it didn't make anything they said less irritating. Oh and shut up Adam!

I felt terrible for Anita, because, I and I think anyone has been that position, where you've screwed up massively, and the only thing you can do is wait and see what will happen because of it. All you can do is stand around and beat yourself up, and be racked with guilt, and no one can console you. I thought Natalia did a wonderful job of projecting all that, yet managing not to make the situation all. about. her.

The one none depressing thing about today's show was the Bianca and Delivery Man Bob scene. Damn, she even had Binks!Yay with Delivery Man Bob. The woman has chemistry with everyone.

DrCher

Apr 15, 2004 @ 2:34 am

I've watched AMC since I was MiMo's age. I don't think the show has been this depressing before. Why can't Bianca have a moment of happiness? I don't even want to watch anymore, but I have a Pavlovian response everytime I hear the theme music. I hope that the rumors are true and Bianca gets the baby back in May.

luv2surf

Apr 15, 2004 @ 5:03 am

Ooh, shallow viewing talk! ITA with the 'more attractive with personality' thing. People can be completely gorgeous, but that will only get them so far into my hopelessly devoted girlcrush state. Eden's and Alicia's personalities enhance their hotness exponentially. I've always been a sucker for dimples, so Budig got me on that score, although this Bob gushing is putting a serious lid on my enjoyment!

That's all I got for now, as I am emerging from an exam-imposed three week hiatus...and catching up on tape. So far I am grousing about the lack of DNA testing and generally pissed at the swap. I don't understand why Babe didn't remember Paul's first version of the story when she woke up after 'the crash': when he told her the heli went down and they lost her baby boy. She started to wail, then he injected her again. So, when she hugs the incubator not five minutes later I was skeptical beyond the obvious 'soap suspension of logic' stuff. I guess they'll just say it was the 'drugs' that made her forget, but she acted so cut up to have lost her child and then he (as MiMo) was suddenly back again...whatever.

Also, Eden's acting is absolutely killing me. Props girlfriend. Alicia too, but Bianca's scenes are gut-wrenching in the hospital. Sorry for backtracking, I hope to catch up with y'all soon.

Kelsey

Apr 15, 2004 @ 10:55 am

Eden is killing me with Bianca's great love for her beautiful baby, and I absolutely HATE this storyline! I had really been hoping that it would end soon since it seems so logical to do a simple blood test to determine whose baby this really is given the unusual circumstances of two births in the woods followed by a helicopter crash. However, I read a spoiler that says Tad does arrange for a DNA test but Krystal changes the results so that the baby will be raised a Chandler. I was just starting to like Krystal but I am going to hate her if she does this.

DrCher

She'll regret allowing MiMo/Bess to remain a Chandler. We all know how Adam is with his kin.

This is where tribalism loses its small charm. If she does that...grr. That would make her a truly loathesome, morally bankrupt person. It's one thing to wallow in denial; it's entirely another to actively conspire to deprive a grieving mother of her child. And you know Babe wouldn't thank her for it.

Apr 15, 2004 @ 11:55 am

I didn't really take your posts as criticism of Olga.......well, yes I did! And nobody, noooooooobody, disses the Divine One when I'm around :)

CookieOk, there is no way I would ever diss her. I'm not allowed to. Baby Jesus told me that if I ever utter a false word about Miss O, that he'll no longer want me for a sunbeam. I'd be willing to do things for Miss O that would make Fear Factor contestants shudder in fear and disgust....like continuing to watch AMC just to catch a small glimpse of the wife.

And seeing as how we're on the same side, I shall ordain you, CookieOk, as Olga's Number Two Bitch. I guess I can share the wife with you when, if for some reason I become discombobulated or unable to carry out my Bitch duties then it will be up to you to make sure the Lovely Miss Olga is comfortable and supremely happy. Don't let me down!

Now onto the rumors about reshooting to give Bianca her baby back, I really hope it happens but the pessimistic and realistic side of me just does not believe it will happen. Remember, McTrash said "there is real hope throughout May that Bianca might get her baby back." Why would they all of a sudden start placating to the fans now? I seriously doubt they take the fans' desires into consideration.

Oh and Krystal....I hate you! C'mon Pookie, don't let that Cornpone Nightmare get in your way!

From SOW

Krystal finds out that Bess is really Miranda and KEEPS QUIET. Tad actually is the one to put the baby switch out there. He accuses Krystal of knowing something.
Tad orders a DNA test. Krystal finds out and does something drastic to ensure this kid is raised as Chandler.

I would NEVER have a DNA test done in Pine Valley.

It seems you can make the results say whatever you want them to say.

They should just face the fact that they are all one very small gene pool and are about two degrees of separation from each other....but that would explain some of the behaviour in this town.

Apr 15, 2004 @ 1:29 pm

Just when I was starting to like Bobbie Eakes/Krystal. I will hate Krystal (no redemption) if she does this. From today's show, she's already thinking they have the wrong baby...

OK, so there I am, watching AMC...and that slo-mo Kryan scene comes on and I yell, "NO! They'll be talking about this on the boards!!" Anyone else with me?

At least they did address why Bianca brought Mimo to Erica's...she hasn't totally lost her mind. She knows what she said to Erica.

Only Pugly knows who Babe's Baby Daddy is, right? Unless I missed something, even the audience hasn't been enlightened yet. So, is it improbable to hope that Krystal's fixin' of the DNA test will backfire somehow, culminating in the one-two punch of not only returning MiMo to Bianca, but also revealing that Junior is not Bess/MiMo/Ace's daddy? That would be some kickass retribution for that horrible spoiler.

Cornpone Nightmare? Bwah!

Paul only knows whether or not JR is the Boobe Baby's Father. Since there were two other potential fathers in the mix (Paul himself and Jamie), Paul has no way of knowing for sure unless he does another DNA test over on OLTL to eliminate or confirm himself for paternity.

I'm betting it IS Paul's, though. I was actually watching OLTL yesterday and barely dodged the anvil Kevin's dialogue instigated when he was showing baby pictures to Blair and commenting that the kid looks like Kelly's side of the family.

Wow, I hope this whole mess at the very least teaches Boobe to say 'no' once in a while. Sheesh.

As someone who still hates her, this almost makes me happy because it would insure she and Tad wouldn't be a couple IMO -- Tad would never ever forgive that.

Man, this story sucks.

Watching AMC yesterday I had a revelation that I actually kind of enjoy Jacob Young as JR. Never liked him as Lucky.

2deadcows

Apr 15, 2004 @ 2:13 pm

I'm interpreting those spoilers as Krystal intends/attempts to alter the DNA test so that the baby is raised as a Chandler. I don’t think the spoilers say she succeeds.

That said, Krystal seems to be a McHack/current regime favorite (or at the very least, the character has the advantage of being a McT creation). And McTrash's faves are the audience's faves (Oh, y'all didn't get the memo? Too bad; sucks to be you.). So I doubt the story will end with Krystal as the bad guy. And, y'all obviously didn't get the other memo about the how the entire AMC audience is rooting for that particular super-couple-in-the-making. I doubt even more that Krystal's actions will sink that ship or otherwise adversely affect her. McTravesty doesn't allow her creations to suffer (much).

Edited to spoiler tag a couple of words. Just in case.

Thanks for being the bearer of bad news, gspiggott. Baby Jesus is crying over this news.

Can someone with greater knowledge than myself tell me what the ratings were when McTrash began her reign of terror on AMC. I'd like to do some comparisons.

Watching AMC yesterday I had a revelation that I actually kind of enjoy Jacob Young as JR

You're not alone, Dianora. I began hating JR as soon as he came back into Pie Balley dressed like Pip from Great Expectations...but boy that has turned around. Ever since I saw him holding Bessimo and talking all cute to his girls...swoon.

Apr 15, 2004 @ 3:44 pm

Stinker- You'll not be able to directly compare because they changed the number of households included in a rating point. Plus- sveral markets have switched/are switching/will soon be switched over to continuous metering (perpetual sweeps!)

That said... the general sense of the numbers is flatness, punctuated by .3 dives when McT over-tortures Bianca.

So, for year over year growth, they'll have to rely on prodution cost savings and contract savings ... firing McT could have been a good place to start. *ahem*

Apr 15, 2004 @ 4:09 pm

Damn those spoilers suck. I'm hoping against hope that Krystal fails or can't go through with it, but I doubt it. Krystal will probably change the results and Bianca will be devastated again(if Krystal does change the results it will be third time Bianca will have to have lived through losing her baby), and this time it will complete drive her over the edge and she'll probably be sent to Oak Haven. I'm sure Krystal will spend months acting paranoid, and maybe feeling guilty about her action, and will finally confess. But by then JR, Babe and Adam will have bonded so much with Mimo they won't want to give her up, and then a custody battle will ensue. Adam because he's an asshole will probably use the fact that Bianca killed a guy and was admitted to Oak Haven against her in the custody battle. Sigh. I hate McTrash.

OK, so there I am, watching AMC...and that slo-mo Kryan scene comes on and I yell, "NO! They'll be talking about this on the boards!!" Anyone else with me?

Oh my god, those scenes were horrible. The cut from Erica talking to Eric, to Kryan was awful, it was definitely a WTF moment. Erica was talking to her dead father, very somber no music, but all of a sudden Kendall and Frankenbrown were walking towards each other in soft focus set to some schmoopy piano music. Are they trying to make Kryan the Num of AMC?

I'll admit it, I cried during Erica's scenes. Yeah she was chomping down on the scenery for most of it, but I thought she had a few nice quiet moments.

SkiffyPup

Apr 15, 2004 @ 4:18 pm

Erica scenes were awsome today. I haven't watched in days ... (yay!) until this cramps + jalapenos "perfect storm" kept me home. Everything else today was so placeholder filler. Yikes, it was boring. Glad to see Erica graduate to big grownup alcohol. White wine is for silly part-time drinkers, yo. Now we know she's in the deep shit.

Thanks for sticking the Jesus wants me for a sunbeam song in my head for the rest of the day, former friends. You're scheduled to pay, and pay dearly, the second I stop laughing maniacally!

From Soapzone, Carol Ann: spoilers and rumors for April and May. The rumor mill is working overtime trying to guess whether TPTB [The Powers That Be] have cut short their intended two-year run on this baby-switch story, with some pundits speculating that they’ve changed their minds and might return the babies to their rightful mothers by May Sweeps. Others insist this is wishful thinking.

2 years!??!! They are intending to keep Bianca's baby away from her for 2 years? That's just insane. Cruel and insane. And since McT has signed a contract to continue inflicting her shit on these characters, it's going to be an endless run of torture.
