No Title Here

What’s worse right now, All My Children or the Christmas commercials running between each segment?

Okay for the sake of the is blog All My Children is worse.

I will never understand why TPTB ignore the fans.  It’s like they are that evil step-monster that pretends to love the new spouse’s children but really secretly has nothing but disgust for them.  Oh wait…did you see that there…I created a plot without spending millions of dollars and wasting countless peoples time

If I was to poll the fans I think right now the number one issue for them would be the writing.  The number two thing would by Ryan and well everything else would be third.

What’s bothering me this week.

• JR’s cancer story was super quick.  In a matter of weeks he was diagnosed with cancer, had chemo, was able to keep it from his family from finding out, got married, lost a friend and went into remission.  And with Adam’s wedding to Annie JR seems to be well enough to be his somewhat old self.
• Ryan acting sanctimonious because he knows that Adam killed Stuart.  Really Ryan the better parent between him and the nut case he created?  Hey remember that time you hid that serial killer brother of yours and then got him off on all the murder charges because he had a brain tumor.  Remember that?  I sure do.
• Adam and Annie’s wedding…Still trying to figure out why Adam is dressed like Hugh Hefner?
• Casting Lucretia is good but to little too late.  Instead of coming off as funny like Carmen she comes off flat.
• Ryan and Erica and the ick factor.  Like I’ve written before, Erica with a younger guy would be a great storyline but this is just wrong.  Erica would never have Kendall’s Sloppy Seconds.
• The idea that all my favorite characters/actors will be a thing of history after the holidays.  My guess they bring Bianca back to appease some of the viewership.  You know their policy…when in trouble break glass and get Binx on the show.
• Aidan’s creepy attitude towards Kendall.  Ick.

Chuck Pratt is a hack.  Apparently we’ve found out that if he can’t write some misogynistic crap then he won’t write anything of worth.  I hate to break it to TPTB but it doesn’t matter what you do for the show if you refused to bring on a head writer that actually understands soaps.  Chuck Pratt was perfect for GH because he could live out his violent fantasies through Sonny Corinthos but AMC is a different formula and because TPTB fail to embrace that and play to its strengths they will continue to lose the viewers.  The systematic failure of the show is that in an attempt to fix what’s broken with minimal reflection on the show they chose to make massive changes in format, characters and the overall look of the show.

Here endth my Rant!
