Let me first take the opportunity to congratulate AMC for taking the shots outdoors while not making us all seasick! All it took was a tripod, imagine that!
So let me get this straight. Ryan gets his memory back and now he’s in love with Greenlee. Just a couple of months ago he was in desperate love with Kendall because he remembered that…then his memory comes back and he’s desperately in love with Greenlee. Oh and he doesn’t feel he’s ever loved Annie. Um it was Ryan who pursued Annie not the other way around. And it was Ryan who proposed to Annie and had sex in the barn that his brother killed Edmund in and burned down. But he never loved Annie…please! Now Kendall who has tried to make up for sleeping with Aidan finds the need to jump into the Ryan/Annie/Greenlee business. All this is necessary of course for s/l movement but seriously there are other ways that would have better moved the s/l than having Kendall pleading with Ryan to tell Greenlee the truth.
I get it poor Melissa Claire Egan is probably on her way out. The character was written from one corner to another and now is lost in this Richie mess not to mention being mired in the Ryan amnesia fiasco. It’s too bad because I’ve liked MCE. She’s a talented actress who was given less than nothing to work with. If she had been a bit more seasoned (like Cady McClain) I feel she would have been able to work with the garbage being written for her but being a novice in the medium brought us a dull version of the character. I really feel too that MCE was bringing Annie some spark. Remember when we all were like…hey “Annie got a spine, cool.” It was almost like someone told her to change the character back to a mousy girl. Too Bad though because I actually like the character/Actress.
Today’s Ryan and Tad at the pool scenes were boring and kind of lame. It was almost like a replacement for the music montage they used to run every other episode.
Here Endth My Rant!
I gotta disagree. I never thought Ryan was in love with Annie. Yeah he went after her and had boring scene after gross scene with her but the fact is, it was all rushed. He went from first date, to sex, to finding out he’s Emma’s dad, to huge location shoot wedding overnight. There was no huge epic love story for ‘em like they were pretending. It seems like he just used her as a Greenlee replacement. He couldn’t have Greens so he hooked up with a woman who looked a lot like her, needed saving, and had his kid.

I’m glad you commented. You’re comment made me go back and watch some of the shows back then. Very true. I guess I’m just frustrated that the writers gave us yet another character that went no where. But I’m still leery of a Rylee redo. But then again it’s got all the agents to make for some interesting tale. Ryan’s slept with Greenlee and Kendall, has has Aidan…Zach’s only slept with Kendall. It could work. Thanks for sharing

I agree! I don’t want him with the second coming… Played out, boring, tantruming Greenlee. I liked Annie a lot! I hope she’s not on her way out. And i think this whole memory thing is sooo poorly written. He cant remember loving Annie? I remember him treating Greenlee like she was an utter pet whilst she was trying to get him back and ruin he and Annie’s wedding. If they don’t adress medically (like a doctors visit for ryan)of how he doesn’t remember loving people and emotions soon I really don’t know if i can look past this one;)
