I have to say it WAS refreshing when Greenlee incredulously asked David if he thought that giving her the expensive necklace was supposed to make her feel better about their marriage, considering he was BLACKMAILING her to stay married. David: "No, it's supposed to make ME feel better." At LAST, a man on a soap is honest about the REAL intentions behind gifts of jewelry, etc. Of course, that's pretty small potatoes considering all the things he's NOT honest about.
It's pretty glaring that scenes are shot out of order when one minute Greenlee is so hoarse she can barely talk, then she's fine, then she's back to being hoarse again, and then she's fine again.
Why did Angie go to the park for some fresh air when she KNOWS she could lose her vision at any moment? How was she planning to navigate the park, let alone get back to the hospital, without her eyesight? She could end up in the pond, turning her ankle off the path, stepping in front of a zooming bicyclist, etc. She could step on a baby DUCK! Or, worse, she could step on a grown-up GOOSE.
It was pretty hard to keep a straight face as Angie went on and on to Mayor Blanco about how Jesse is the best damn police chief PV has ever seen. He's the most CORRUPT police chief PV has ever seen! He breaks laws and lets things slide right and left for himself, his family and his friends. He's probably WAAAAY more corrupt than Mayor Blanco. Ok, I didn't even TRY to keep a straight face.
I liked being able to hear Greenlee's thoughts. I liked how she looked at David as she vowed, in her mind, to finally get him right where she wants him, and how he'll never see it coming. OTOH, I would think David would see that that was what she was thinking, even without the ability to hear her thoughts.

EXTRA - SELF-SERVING SHREW
In the 7/29-30/10 Boogie Chillen I mentioned a little bon mot for long-time AMC fans about a woman named Corvina calling Erica a"self-serving shrew". This has LONG been a sort of in-joke/reference on rec.arts.tv.soaps.abc (aka RATSA) about a particular scene at Wildwind. My RATSA friend, Mary Pelis did a little sleuthing and she found that scene on Youtube -- it is a PRICELESS find! Thank you so much, Mary, and thank you, AMCRewind for posting it on Youtube!
A little backstory. Back in the early 1990s a handsome Hungarian nobleman (a count, I think), Dimitri Marick, arrived in town to live at Wildwind, a castle that had been imported, stone-by-stone, from Hungary. It had been there many years (unbeknownst to any AMC fans), but Dimitri, when he visited/lived there, was apparently very low-key, not mixing with the townies. Dimitri and Erica eventually ended up together (marrying twice).
Along the way a couple of new characters appeared on the show. Corvina and Anton, who arrived from Hungary. It turns out that Anton was Dimitri's son (unbeknownst to Dimitri OR Anton for most of Anton's life). Anton was conceived at the castle in Hungary where Corvina was a maid. She put a drunken young Dimitri to bed after a party, one thing led to another, and Anton was born. Dimitri's father either paid or or threatened her to stay quiet so as not to ruin Dimitri's life. Corvina had a quest when they arrived in Pine Valley: a small statue of a leopard that was supposed to contain a fortune or some such thing. I forgot (believe it or not).
In any case, Corvina had a strong accent and in one VERY memorable scene, she and Erica have a nasty confrontation wherein Corvina ripped Erica a new one, with the actress playing Corvina (Margaret Sophie Stein) chewing the scenery with GUSTO! It was so memorable that, from that point on, all anyone on RATSA has to do is mention "self-serving shrew" (with a variety of different spellings for effect) for us to break out into internet-peals of laughter.
If you don't feel like going to Youtube, here is is. The line about Erica being a self-serving shrew (not to mention a whore/hoo-or) is about 50 seconds into it, but the entire scene is WELL worth the watch!

Who's watching Trevor while Amanda goes out to Krystal's to drown her sorrows because Jake left her high and not-so-dry?
If Colby is so anxious to see her father in San Francisco, a) why are she and Damon going to DRIVE there, and b) why are they going to stop and see touristy things along the way? How about fly out there and rent a car to drive back?
JAR tells Marissa he feels bad about not helping her study for her bar exam "until the last minute". Uh, no, Jackass, you blew THAT one, too.
I'm getting more than a little tired of the blatant product-placement of Erica's Twitter account and website, the addresses of which they manage to squeeze into dialogue over and over again. I haven't gone to either, but I'm sure they are there and there's probably stuff for sale and/or advertising of some type. I don't LIKE being taken out of the story like that.
I thought Bianca agreed to keep the children away from Caleb in their own separate wing. She's not doing a very good job of it. Speaking of Caleb. How difficult is it to match a green connector to a green slot? Yeah, it might be a pain in the ass to get it oriented correctly, especially if you can't see it (which I DO buy if you can't see the green part on the back panel) but they should have chosen something a little less mandatory for him to try to plug into the computer, like a USB cable to a printer, rather than cables going to the mouse (green) and keyboard (purple). Did I miss something? Did he have TWO computers there, because Miranda and Bianca were using it just fine, apparently without the aforementioned cables.
Soooo, how long will it be before either Miranda or Gabrielle get kidnapped and/or deathly ill? A fall off a horse, perhaps? A tumble into the multiple unplugged holes on the Wildwind grounds? A splash into the ce-ment pond? Visits from ghosts of Wildwind family dinners past? Corvina showing up on the doorstep shrieking about leopard statues and self-serving shrews? (okay those last two are for long-time AMC watchers
)
Annie tries to convince eBabe and JAR that she truly, TRULY wishes them both happiness. eBabe: "The same happiness we had BEFORE you slept with my husband?" Except I didn't hear the word "slept". I listened to it four times and every single time I heard her say "BEFORE you "f**ked" with my husband?" I DO have a bad speaker connected to the TV, but even so ... I kind of like the way I heard it better than the scripted line
WTH? JAR sees all the seething anger and distrust his disillusioned wife has toward Annie and how Annie keeps making things worse, but he, once AGAIN, follows Annie out like a puppy dog when he sees her leave. Oh yeah, he's committed to his relationship with eBabe.

Have Jamie Luner's eyebrows always been like that or am I just now noticing them? During a closeup when Liza was getting into it with Tad, eyes narrowed, the eyebrows were fat and rounded at one end and tapered off to a point at the other. They look like a couple of sperm facing each other.
I have to grin every time I see that dress Greenlee is wearing. She's very tiny and can pull it off, but even so ... there are large, vaguely flesh-colored, frilly roses plastered all over the hips. Each time they show it from the back it looks like she has large, frilly ass-cheeks, and the one at the bottom center is downright DISTURBING.

There is speculation that David is being set up to be murdered. Eh. We've been speculating that for YEARS.
I think David has done WAY more despicable things than this. Yeah, he's setting up Greenlee to go to jail for a VERY long time if she doesn't stay with him, but that's kind of small potatoes compared to keeping Maria from everyone who knew her for YEARS (he never WOULD have told her the truth), drugging an entire boatload of people, drugging Adam to the point of near death just so he could be a hero and "save" him, trying to kill Adam with a gun, etc., etc. The list of David's sins is VERY long.
That said, it was definitely surprising that he set Greenlee up from the very beginning of their marriage, or at least the very beginning of the whole airplane/framing Erica situation. Then again, it IS David we're talking about.
It's certainly unexpected, though. I sure didn't see it coming. There truly IS no redeeming this asshole. I don't like Greenlee, but she doesn't deserve this. Aside from marrying the jerk just to spite Ryan and for emotional security (locking her heart away), she's actually been relatively mature since her return. Of course, that may just be the Botox talking, but she hasn't been the super-schemer she used to be. She's been pretty dull, IOW.
The issue here was that she TRUSTED him not to hurt her. Their entire relationship is based on that trust that goes way back. She saw him as a big brother through her marriage to Leo, and she let herself think that she loved him after they got married, although it was not a passionate love. She knew he kept doing nasty things, but for the most part, he was doing a lot of it FOR her and WITH her (taking over the hospital, for instance), so that made it more palatable and she enjoyed a lot of it. She certainly benefited from a lot of it.
And now she's a bird in a cage. Given David's access to surgical instruments, his surgical skill, etc., Greenlee must be having visions of Boxing Helena at this point. With good reason. You'd think David would just drug her all the time, though; that IS his forte', after all. This way, though, she is a "willing" wife, Ryan can't rescue her and she can still pretend to have a marriage to anyone who might question it. She could kill him, of course, or hire someone to do it, but I'm sure he has other safeguards in place to keep that from happening.

Tad asks Jesse if he thinks Liza would lie about something like THAT (Damon kissing her). Uh, Jesse might not be the most unbiased person to ask that question, considering that Liza accused him of trying to rape her (or actually raping her?) way back in the day. Uh, yeah, she WOULD lie about something like that.
How did Colby's dress manage to survive the trip to NYC completely unwrinkled from the moment she whipped it out of her suitcase? It must be one of those Harry Potteresque suitcases where it looks like a suitcase on the outside, but on the inside there is actually an entire closet with hangers, shelves, shoe compartments, valets and tea-towel-clad house elves laboring over little tiny steam irons.
Well it's about TIME they let us in on the fact that Liza has been replacing Damon's pills with something else. I couldn't figure out how it was that Damon could not notice that the pills were GONE. At least she's giving him placebos and not some other drug. Then again, since she's getting them from David, God KNOWS what they might contain.
Colby and Damon have already been in one car accident -- hasn't it ever occurred to Liza that Damon's impulsivity could cause any number of bad situations to be inflicted upon her daughter? Apparently not.
Oh PLEASE! That is SO not a month's supply of pills David gave to Liza. If they were LITTLE pills that might be the case, but those are pretty good-sized pills and they don't take up much space in the bottle. How hard would it have been for them to fill it up to a believable volume?
Why is Tad so high and mighty about Damon and Colby being in a hotel room in NYC in a state of undress? They ARE both adults, after all. Yeah, they shouldn't have taken off without telling anyone, but showing up at the door is sooooo tacky! Oh well, at least, for once, people didn't just burst into what would normally be an automatically locked door, although I'm sure they WOULD do that, rather than knocking, if it were not unlocked.
Ah, Tad is pissed off that Damon kissed Liza. Really? THAT is why they drove to New York to break up the young lovers? They had to interrupt the kids in BED for that? Damon had to be dragged out shirtless for THAT? Don't these people have ANY dignity at ALL?
Why is ANYONE allowed to see Ryan if he just got out of surgery after having a brain aneurysm operated on? He should be in ICU or, at the VERY least, have his visitors controlled. David should not be allowed ANYWHERE near him. Neither should Greenlee, for that matter. Even Madison is questionable. ALL of these people could stress Ryan out.
I LOVED how Tad glared at Liza and the way he showed her the photos on the phone.
Did the Joe and Ruth sell their house? I'm surprise David didn't snap it up just to spite Tad and Jake. It would be too tacky (in his view) to live in for long, but you would think he would buy it just to deface it and then tear it down because he's just THAT petty.
I was glad to see Ryan wince after yelling (good naturedly) after Madison. Just before he winced I was thinking that must hurt to yell like that in his condition.

I admire the ability of the actors to stroll through the park and not frantically try to shoo away the multitude of bugs that seem to be flying around. I hope none of them inhaled any.
Don't board members on both sides (Cortlandt and Chandler) have some say in a purchase/takeover? Aren't there regulations and forms to be filled out and official approvals to be made? Does JAR's flunky have a receipt written on a napkin?
Line Of The Day (LOD):
Bianca tells Caleb that her mother and Jack are on the "windy Riviera". CaLeb: "Poor Uncle Jack's hair."
Bianca says she can't wait until the kids see Wildwind (she's planning to rent it from Caleb). Caleb tells her to just wait until he clears out and Bianca gets snippy about him not liking kids. Hello? WTH would she move in before HE moves out?
Jake was a little handsy with the nurse when he told her to take Ryan to Radiology. He ended up saying "Let's GO" and familiarly put his hand on her back in a combination of encouragement and urging her to skedaddle like a good little girl. It was very unprofessional and I did NOT like it.
Angie should have stepped down way BEFORE this. She tells Jake it's time to do it now and he tries to convince her not to do that. WTF? She keeps going BLIND and won't let anyone else know about it. She should NOT be treating patients and she should NOT even BE at the hospital if she can't own up to that and caves when she's pressured to treat patients.
Bianca tells Miranda (over the phone) that she and her little sister are going to have SO much fun there! Checking out the stables (where people keep having sex and frightening the horses and where a paralyzed Edmund burned to death), wandering through the garden, playing hide and go seek til they drop ... I continued the verbal tour for her: Seeing where the turret burned down after/as Gillian was shot in the head, rendering her braindead, the mausoleum where Marian was held captive in a crypt and multitudes of people hid out and/or were imprisoned, the well where JaNut-From-Another-Planet tossed her sister so that she could impersonate her and marry Trevor Dillon, resulting in the conception of Amanda, the mine shaft where Laurel and Jack dumped Denny's dead, rug-encased body, the Hunting Lodge where Erica stabbed Dimitri with a letter opener and where, further back in time, Alf Gresham regularly beat the shit out of the little boy, Edmund. Oh, and there's the chapel where SOOO many temporary marriages and interrupted funerals took place. On the plus side, Wildwind was where Timmy first encountered Harold, the Wonder Dog.

Scott and Annie went all night and well into the next morning without him answering her about getting married? I find it hard to believe that Annie was willing to wait that long. Actually, I find it hard to believe that ANYONE would wait that long without at least DISCUSSING why they were waiting to answer.
I also find it hard to believe that eBabe didn't realize that it was morning and she had been up studying all night (apparently everyone in the house was up all night for one reason or another). Is she that oblivious to AJ?
Wait a second -- it's theoretically morning in PV -- so why is everyone gathered for a party (with cake) for Damon when they should be thinking about breakfast? IS it morning? Is it in the evening of the next day and neither Scott nor JAR was home all night or all of the day? What the hell TIME is it? Okay, FINALLY Damon mentions that it's lunchtime. So that means eBabe still hasn't checked on AJ since the night before. And since there was no peep from them and everyone else, including Krystal, left the house, Kathy and Jenny were apparently not even invited to the Welcome-To-The-Family party for Damon. Nor was Opal. If I were Damon, I'd consider blowing off the lame-ass party, too.
Scott gets a ring and proposes to Annie at the yacht club in front of JAR and eBabe and, at the last moment, Colby. Scott says doing it in front of family makes it even MORE special. WTF? The Chandler family is TOXIC! Would YOU want family members like them around when you proposed to someone, even if you knew what the answer would be? JAR, especially, is likely to sneer and say something really nasty to ruin the moment. At least eBabe has a touch of class, even though she's probably pricing guns and/or divorce lawyers at this point.
As part of his proposal, Scott tells Annie that she's all fight and fire and that when she wants something, NOTHING stands in her way. Uh, YEAH, she kidnaps, stabs and MURDERS people (that's PLURAL persons) that get in her way. I'd hardly call that an ADMIRABLE trait. All things considered, Scott looked like a total imbecile (to me) proposing to her with his face all glowing with love and sincerity. I think I'm going to HURL!
Liza is clearly obsessed about how Tad hurt her by having sex with her mother when Liza was a teenager. It keeps coming up between them. She is NEVER going to let that go, so why is Tad staying with her? If she can't get past that, then their marriage is going to be miserable. Well, given how much of a stone cold bitch Liza is and how Sanctimartinous (tm) Tad can be, not to mention the fact that they live in Pine Valley, it will be miserable in any case.
Okay, so now the adoption papers were signed "weeks ago" (when Damon kissed Liza) as opposed to "last night". I think AMC is on the wrong channel -- it should be on a science fiction channel.

Scott gets a ring and proposes to Annie at the yacht club in front of JAR and eBabe and, at the last moment, Colby. Scott says doing it in front of family makes it even MORE special. WTF? The Chandler family is TOXIC! Would YOU want family members like them around when you proposed to someone, even if you knew what the answer would be? JAR, especially, is likely to sneer and say something really nasty to ruin the moment. At least eBabe has a touch of class, even though she's probably pricing guns and/or divorce lawyers at this point.
As part of his proposal, Scott tells Annie that she's all fight and fire and that when she wants something, NOTHING stands in her way. Uh, YEAH, she kidnaps, stabs and MURDERS people (that's PLURAL persons) that get in her way. I'd hardly call that an ADMIRABLE trait. All things considered, Scott looked like a total imbecile (to me) proposing to her with his face all glowing with love and sincerity. I think I'm going to HURL!
Liza is clearly obsessed about how Tad hurt her by having sex with her mother when Liza was a teenager. It keeps coming up between them. She is NEVER going to let that go, so why is Tad staying with her? If she can't get past that, then their marriage is going to be miserable. Well, given how much of a stone cold bitch Liza is and how Sanctimartinous (tm) Tad can be, not to mention the fact that they live in Pine Valley, it will be miserable in any case.
Okay, so now the adoption papers were signed "weeks ago" (when Damon kissed Liza) as opposed to "last night". I think AMC is on the wrong channel -- it should be on a science fiction channel.

BC - Mon-Tue, 7/19-20/10
Why would home services show up to inspect a home at NIGHT for a routine adoption check? And it IS night, in July and it's been dark for a while now, which means it's probably after 9pm (and Trevor should be in bed, not playing with the toddler 4 floors down). Do they really do surprise visits at NIGHT? If Damon really WERE 9 years old, he'd probably be in bed and the social worker would be disrupting their routine.
As I mentioned previously, Trevor has been reverse SORAS'd. Although he should be about 13 months old, there's no way the baby portraying him is walking yet although Amanda made it sound like he was.
Okay, Damon is all scattered, almost stood her up and he's not dressed for a party, but Colby has been bitchy and emotionally demanding to him for a while now. This couple is DOOMED.
If the social worker JUST left the house after her surprise night inspection, how did the adoption papers magically arrive? Wouldn't she have to do some paperwork and have the papers filed with the court, etc.? Apparently not in Pine Valley! She must have filled them out and put the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania Seal on it in her car at the curb, called an all-night messenger service, had them come to the car in front Tad's house and then deliver the papers to him (even though they probably weren't even COPIED unless she also has a copier in her car plugged into the cigarette lighter). Lame, lame, lame.
How often does Damon have to take those pills? Didn't Liza take his pills away earlier the same evening? Does Damon have to take them every couple of hours or he goes off the rails? Liza is still wearing the same clothes and even the same bracelet (and you know soap divas never wear the same outfit twice), but Colby is talking like Damon's been behaving erratically over the course of at least several days if not longer. I HATE it when they timewarp everything! It gives me a headache.
Damon KNOWS he's supposed to be taking his pills, so if it's been more than just a couple of hours that they've been missing, he knows enough to try to get them replaced, even if he IS being scattered right now.
Jamie Luner is fabulous shape, but the wardrobe dept should really consider putting her back into more Liza-like clothes (i.e., not sprayed on). All those tight skirts in profile aren't as flattering is they might be on someone a little younger.
Is Liza carrying Damon's pills around in her purse? If so, not only would it be easy for Tad to find them inadvertently, but they'd be rattling around every time she moved her purse.
JAR tells Colby that eBabe, AJ and Colby are his FAMILY and they will ALWAYS come FIRST with him. BULLSHIT! The only thing that comes first with him is his dick. I can't believe he said that right after Colby catches him making out with Annie. Way to put your family first, ASSHOLE!
