I really loved Krystal for the way she always protected Babe no matter what. But after Babe died, I thought she'd be more motherly towards JR. Not the case if she's trying to get custody of Little A!!! What a slap in the face to Babe! The Chandlers are millionaires and Little A will always be well cared for. If Jesse is really on the Chandler's side, why did he drill into JR and Erica when they said they didn't know the whereabouts of Adam and Little A? He could have let it go. David needs to be taught a good lesson for trying to steal someone's baby!

I hope Jacob Young is on AMC for ever! It's because of him that
I watch AMC. He's a very talented actor. He's one of the reasons
why I went on the cruise.

Dear Mrs. Carruthers:
I am writing to express my concern and disappointment in the recent storyline development for the character Randi as being previously engaged in porn. It is unfortunate that one of the very few female minority characters was introduced as a hooker to begin with as it continues to promote negative stereotypes of African American and Hispanic women. Now it appears that Randi will be given a history of involvement in porn. I cannot say how disheartened and disappointed I am in ABC and AMCs development of that story.
ABC and AMC have done a good job of recruiting talented minority actors to the show which I saw as a return to continuing the rich history of addressing social issues through engaging and thought provoking stories. Instead we get a story of stereotyped diverse woman with a sordid sexual history. Already we have seen and heard Randi referred to and addressed in demeaning and vulgar terms. The impact of this to young viewers must be considered. As a woman of color this is quite offensive and very disturbing. I implore you to rethink the development of this story and elevate this character past the gutter history to have her do something meaningful and purposeful with her life. Perhaps she can become a counselor at the Brooke English house for abused women or a patient advocate at Pine Valley Hospital for abused and neglected children. This was a wonderful story for Dixie Martin prior and introduced several engaging stories as a result.
If there is anyway to “clean or retell” Randi’s history that would be greatly appreciated and seen as a positive step in responsible programming.
In closing, I must say I complement the love story for Frankie and Randi, specifically the writing that showcases the slow building of commitment and love for these two. I sense AMC has a winner in them as a long term couple to invest in. Although Cornelius Smith Jr and Denise Vasi are relatively new, both have done a fabulous job establishing Frankie and Randi respectively and I look forward to watching them.
Sincerely,
An AMC Fan
Good evening Ms. Carruthers and Mr. Pratt:
I’ve recently read “spoilers” concerning the characters of Randi Morgan and Franklin Hubbard. Let me just say first of all, I love and adore this couple and I love their love story. I love the way Frankie accepted Randi for who she was and the slow build that their relationship has experienced so far. I can easily see them becoming a Super Couple. I love the way that he is with her – gentle, accepting, always willing to listen and hanging on every word. I’m excited that they will finally be making love (not so excited about Angie walking in on it) and I expect, if in line with what we’ve seen of their love story that it will be gentle, yet passionate. Sweet, yet sexy! I can hardly wait. I was disappointed to find out that in addition to Randi’s prostitution that she has a past in pornography as well. I’m not sure I understand why a past in prostitution was not enough. Seems Randi’s character will be taken through the ringer so to speak and also seems that Frankie will have a problem with it. I would have much preferred her prostitution come to the surface. I don’t think the pornography was necessary. I’m assuming that perhaps one of her former clients posted pictures on the internet without her knowledge?? As far as Frankie being bothered by it, he knew what he signed up for (not the porn so to speak but still…) I suppose that the “visual” of it all will suddenly make it more real to him. I don’t mind seeing some angst but what I don’t want to see is this cause them to break up or having Frankie turn his back on her. I think it would be completely out of character! I was excited to know that Erica will be pulling her as the FOF as I would much rather have Randi in a career that shows all the qualities that Frankie saw in her from the beginning – that she’s strong, smart, intelligent, etc. and not just some superficial Fusion bimbo. I wouldn’t mind if this got her fired from Fusion altogether.
What disturbed me is what I read on the ABC AMC msg board. Another man will come into Randi’s life - ?? I find this to be completely insulting to Frandi’s relationship at this stage of the game and to Frankie. He put his career on the line for her, his relationship to his mother, he was willing to forsake all common sense where Randi was concerned. He was prepared to kill a man and risk going to prison to protect her. He even contemplated stealing drugs from the hospital, not to mention try to raise funds to buy her out of her contract. He gave her a home and an life and respectfully waited for her to be “ready” and not try to pressure her into making love. He did most of these things without barely knowing anything about her. This is man who loves her unconditionally. She shouldn’t even want to bat an eye at another man!! I don’t care how easy the man is on her eyes – Frankie isn’t chopped liver. He GORGEOUS and he’s a gentleman. He honors her and worships her. She is his world. A triangle for this couple would just be completely insulting! Can they at least consummate their relationship and be together for a solid year if triangle is necessary (and I don’t see why it is necessary) or friendly competition. For goodness sakes, Frankie is the 1st man she’s ever loved…it’s insulting to have her look away so easily just because another man is good looking. I sincerely hope this is not the direction it’s taking. I want to see their relationship solid. Can we have at least one happy couple on the show? At least for a while. Angst is fine because perfect is boring but please can we not go the route of “affairs.”
On another note, I’m elated to see Angie finally accept her as family. I hope she is there for her as she goes through this rough patch (I’d like to see Jesse be there for her as well in addition to Frankie & Amanda). I loved seeing Angie stick it to David where her family is concerned. DM & VI have amazing chemistry (NOT romantically) but their scenes are on fire. Love the professional rivalry.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Sincerely,
Debbie McKiver

I have been a
fan of AMC since the summer of 1991 when I would watch it with my favorite
aunt while spending my summer days at her house. I still can’t get enough
of this show and I will always be sure to pay my cable bill so I have DVR
and can crawl up on the couch in my favorite blanket, watching my favorite
characters live their lives. Of course, we’ve all seen our favorite
characters come and go, some getting replaced with new actors/actresses.
But not too long after they’re replaced, I get used to the new actors and
forget my disappointment when they changed. I dive right back into the
story line with anticipation, hope, frustration…it’s like I’m living in Pine
Valley myself!
Zack & Kendall: My god, these two have been through hell and back too many times to count, I think it’s time for a break! While I realize that Alicia ( Kendall ) took some time off to marry her fiancée, it’s still disheartening to see her gone. I am crossing my fingers that Kendall will wake up on Christmas Day and live a long, happy life with Zack and their boys. I have no doubt that she will change her mind about having another child and soon after she wakes up, will find that she is pregnant. Between Kendall’s first coma, the suspenseful birth of Spike, the long-awaited health of Ian, Zack falling into the bomb shelter with Greenlee and missing for so long, and now Kendall being in a coma again…things HAVE to get better for that family. They deserve to be happy, in love and carefree. Kendall and Zack are the ultimate parents – they enjoy time spent with the boys, and all together as a family.. I think AMC needs to keep this story line going strong – we need to see some strong families in this day and age. Ryan and Greenlee (a.k.a. “Rylee”): This story has been done one too many times and needs to just end. We know it will in the Spring of 2009 since Rebecca (Greenlee) is leaving the show (again!), but how will it happen? Will they leave the character open so she can come back again? Will Ryan and Greenlee start a love affair, only to have it tragically end like last time? Again, this story line is old…*YAWN*. Ryan and Annie were good together (when she was sane, of course!). They should bring that back. Sadly, I find myself picking up my book when Ryan and Greenlee are, once again, talking about their forbidden love and trying desperately not to rip each other’s clothes off.. I never thought I’d want to divert my attention from the television when AMC was on, but this is one of those times that I do. JR & Babe/Amanda: WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS AMC THINKING WHEN THEY KILLED OFF BABE?! I was seriously in mourning when that funeral took place and they buried her in the ground. Once in awhile, I keep trying to figure out how they could bring her back after she was so obviously dead. I mean, when you bury someone 6 feet under, it’s pretty hard to bring them back to life. I can understand Dixie ’s first situation when they didn’t find her body – that was reasonable that she came back to life because there was no body found. BUT not for Babe. Babe is forever dead…unless…AMC, PLEASE find a way to get Babe back – fully alive and kicking Amanda’s butt for jumping in so soon after she died. JR and Little A don’t deserve to lose their wife/mother, and Krystal doesn’t deserve to lose her daughter. This was a horrible loss and I was so disappointed in the show for doing this. And just like Ryan and Greenlee, JR and Amanda have already had their “relationship”. She’ll never be a mother to Little A. She’s only in it for the money, although I’m seeing they are trying to portray her as really caring for JR and Little A. Final word on this subject: BRING BABE BACK!!! Dixie: I’ve read what others have said on the website and I fully agree that Dixie needs to magically come back. Again, her recent death is hard to bring her back, considering she was buried as well.. However, it’s not impossible for AMC to bring people back from the dead. Tad and Dixie had a love that was REAL. While I enjoy Tad and Krystal being together, there’s nothing like the story of Tad and Dixie . They never really had their chance at long-lasting love. And now that Kate is in the picture, well, what a family that would make. I keep watching the show in hopes that she’ll be back. David Hayward: I’m so sick of him. Why did they have to bring him back?! For a minute there, I truly thought that he came back when he did because they were going to have him save Babe’s life. Babe dies and seconds later, in walks David. I mean, how else does that look? I sat on the edge of my seat, thanking AMC for having David walk in at that exact moment – I was almost positive that he was there only to save her life. What a huge disappointment. David Hayward – the great cardiac surgeon can’t even save his own daughter? What was that about?! And we’ve always known he was a deviant SOB and I’m tired of him and his crap. And now he’s chief of staff of PVH??? What was Joe Martin thinking??? This is another time that I either fast forward with my DVR or read my book. I can’t stand listening to him and watching him. If he didn’t come back to save Babe, then he shouldn’t have come back at all. Thanks for keeping me entertained, AMC!!! Shelly Sylvester Racine, WI darinandshelly@att.net |
I never write these things. Last time I made a comment on a show was when I was a kid and wrote to Lisa Welchel on the Mouseketeers. So believe me, this is rare. I just want to say how much I've enjoyed the representation of the GLBT community on your show. I know you must have to deal with putting off some of your more conservative viewers, but I'm happy that you're reflecting life as art should.
My only beef is that the Maggie/Bianca storyline had to end. That was a very anti-climactic resolve in my opinion with them going off to Paris together not really knowing how they ever finally hooked up, so to speak. Even more frustrating to find out that after 7 years of longing and angst, they broke up in about a year.
I used to watch the show religiously when I was in high school 20 years ago and lost track of everyone and everything. I just happened to be home one afternoon and tuned in for old times sake after California lost it's battle agains Proposition 8, the ban on gay marriage, to see Tamara Braun and Eden Riegel in the scene where Bianca proposes to Reese and they actually kissed on daytime TV ! Woah !
Where have I been since 2000 when I learned Bianca was introduced as Erica's gay daughter. Obviously with my head in the sand. Needless to say, thanks to You Tube and blogs, I've caught myself up on the last 7 years of drama. I sad to see, though, that the hetero scenes are still way more sexy and passionate than the sophmoric pecks you have Bianca and Reese sharing. Yeah, they're more touchy, feely than the Lena and Maggie scenes, but c'mon. Don't you think Paris lesbians can share a little toungue once in a while. What's up with that! A little Maggie popping in as a successful surgeon looking to rekindle a romance with a long lost Bianca just to stir up the pot wouldn't hurt either.
Besides that, I enjoy the show. Bring Erica back into play. I always loved watching Susan Lucci. She was awesome on Dancing with the Stars as was Cameron. I wish I could join the AMC stars on the Rock the Soap cruise, but I'm in Florida caring for my ailing mother now and I'll be needing to get back to work when I get back to sunny California.
AMC is the only show I've been watching here ET at 1pm. If I miss it, I break out the laptop and watch at 12 PST via my slingbox when it airs on the West Coast at noon, and if I miss anything then, due to doctors and nurse consults about my mom, I tune in a 5pm PST and watch on Soap net.
I guess you can say I'm fanatic about it now.
Thanks much!
