I ♥ Dr. Joe

I saw a glimmer of something I liked on 11/6’s show.

The scene between Scott and Zach.  Where Scott stands up to Zach and blames everyone in the room for his father’s death. It totally was awesome and then it was gone.  Scott was right.  Adam was being drugged by David when he shot Stuart.  Then Zach, Ryan and Erica thought it was good to drug Adam again to get to the truth to get Kendall out of the trouble she created for herself.  Adam had a heart attack…no responsibility on them.  Anyway…before I get off the special moment Scott vs. Zach was very nice.

Now the not so nice.

Angie is just so over worked.  So Chuck is telling us all that a woman isn’t capable of being Chief-of-staff?  Even though Angie talked about how David was trying to trip her up and making waves with the unions, they have written her haggard over the job and it’s responsibilities.  Sure Chuck explained she was upset about how she got the job and the David manipulation of things but please Dr. Joe did this job for like 39 years and sometimes he was in the Caribbean for a month so this storyline is annoying and degrading to Women everywhere.  Is Chuck trying to destroy the character of Angie?  She’s much stronger a character than that.

Speaking of Angie why can’t they stop making her over emotional and angry all the time.  I think it’s the hair.  When Angie first came back to town she was a life saver, a friend, and just awesome but since she married Jesse she’s been crying or angry.  Where is the Romance?  Oh right Chuck doesn’t do romance.  He does sex scenes but he doesn’t do romance.

And Speaking of Dr. Joe…is it too much to ask that they bring him back for a lot of scenes because after December we will probably never seen him again.  How about Ruth…is it too much to ask for some family time with the Martin’s since the show is totally unrecognizable?   Not to mention that you would bring some of the long time viewers back to the fold before the show moves to its new Pine Valley.  Make Thanksgiving (I know it’s already shot and in the can) full of family, fun, friends, light heartiness and romantic fun.  Give us a taste of years ago and the funny Montgomery smack downs at the Valley Inn (remember Jack’s been band from the Valley Inn at Thanksgiving). I’m guessing that Chuck will drown us in Kendall and Aidan on the run and she and Zach longing for each other and sharing the holiday via Skype.  Ryan and Erica hosting some awkward drivel.  Tad having his bunch over for the holiday and his bunch being, the Chandlers and whatever Martin’s are available.  What the hell has happened to Kathy?  The Hubbard will ignore each other and celebrate by having a tension filled turkey dinner.

Oh and the “romance” portion of the show that is Randi and Frankie, the couple with the least amount of chemistry, was far from romantic.  They just do not have any chemistry.  I like both characters…just not together.

Here Endth My Rant!

  1. I hadn’t thought about the impression of Angie as someone who couldn’t handle her new responsibilities, but you’ve nailed it. There was something that annoyed me about the almost instant vacant expression on her face as she seemed overwhelmed by the end of the first day. But my most profound objection has got to be that there is not a minister in the world who would allow Adam’s mumbled “I do” to be legally binding. And Colby, an alleged lawyer, witnessing the farce and not saying a thing about it. All the people in that room were witness to Adam’s incapacity and only two, Annie and Scott, are likely to say he was not impaired.

  2. I meant Liza, not Colby…as lawyer. Forgot to put Liza Colby. I’m not so think as you dumb I am.
