Even though this show is not as wonderful and perfect as it use to be it is still a great show. The actors and actresses have great talent and show it really well. I'd refer this show to anyone who wants to watch some good drama. It has the forever famous Erica Kane and her countless marriages which are sure to entertain. The ups and downs of the relationships of the citizens of Pine Valley. The Characters draw you in and the situations keep your eyes on that screen. This show has won many emmys and there are reasons for it. I really enjoy this soap and I hope that others viewers can learn to enjoy it as well. Like I said before if you want to see some great stories and great talents you should definitely tune into this soap!
I have watched AMC almost since it began (I was 10), yet just in the last couple of years I have become quite disillusioned. It was once an inter-generational show with people that were all ages and looks enjoying story lines. Now it is just one dimensional characters - mostly skinny women and buff men - and they're not even interesting. I was watching old tapes of years ago when Phoebe, Mona, Myra, Palmer, Myrtle...etc., all had story lines. They would weave together the story lines of the younger people (who were at least then interesting) - people like Nina, Cliff, Jenny, Greg, Angie, Devon...etc. It has become an empty show with characters that are uninteresting and uncomplicated and what must the producers think when the ratings continue to plummet. I liked AMC when it was AMC. I would, however, start watching it again if they would bring back Nina Cortland!.
The summer I was 17, before I went away to college, I tuned into a black and
white episode of AMC(half an hour)and since then I have always tuned in to
see what was happening. Through various jobs and the birth of my son and
times when I couldn't watch for over a year,AMC was always there. And, let's
face it AMC means Erica Kane.
But as I am middle aged,I would like to suggest that the show deal MORE with reality. Erica is on trial right now for yet another murder - after 30 years of watching, I can hardly recall all the people she has been accused of killing -- and the prosecutor is her former lover. Could the writers please get a clue??? Prosecutors are not allowed to even KNOW the people they are trying. Please deal with the rules of 2002.
Also, The Greenly and Leo story is a total BORE. Unless you are 17,,,,, interesting...But I suspect Leo is gay, myself.
Nice twist on Proteus, however, I like it..
I am not sure when I started watching AMC...but I believe it was when an aunt came down to spend a summer with me..she watched several...but it is AMC that I recall most. Of course Erica Kane was the star..always..and the other characters were for the most part great to watch as well. Fast forward several years to present day: Erica is still the DIVA she always has been..although I do wish Jack and her would FINALLY have their wedding..it has been too long already. I miss Palmer and Adam..another era has ended there perhaps. I wish Julie Bar would return as Brooke full time too. But..please someone tell me WHY they thought the actress who is playing Annie was right for the part? She is NOT sexy enough to pull of the sceming gold digger in my opinion. Giving JR a rather plain and sweet wife as they did seems too unbelievable too...he is a rich spoiled man...there is no way it would happen. Whenever they change actors always seems to change the dynamics too...especially when we have gotten used to the actor who originated the part. The addition of the guy who is playing Caleb is unnecessary too..he is attracted to Erica..even though they seem to have a love/hate thing going on at the moment...but come on..he is an angry,rude guy...not at all sexy...unless you like this type. Jack is way SEXIER in every way. The new Bianca is going to take a while to get used to as well...the new girl is cute..but doesn't quite fit yet. She is too goody goody...more so than the original was. The bottom line is that I won't stop watching the show..I just wish the writers would try a little harder to make it a "must watch" show.
One day,in the afternoon,I saw a pretty blond guy who was delivering a Christmas present to a middle-class family. Shortly after, the old lady started moving towards the basement, with the parcel in her hands and while she was going down the stairs I could hear the sound of a ticket bomb cluttering between the other gifts, ready to explode. It was 1989 and since then I couldn't stop watching AMC a.k.a. " LA VALLE DEI PINI ", here in Italy. The blond guy was Gregory Nelson and the family with the bomb in the basement were the Martins. At once, I was captivated by Agnes Nixon's little P.V. and I found some similarities between Erica Kane (working for SENSUELLE) and Lorna Forbes (working for AMOURELLE in the other Nixon's TV show LOVING). I started recording episodes from Greg's fall down from a catwalk and hospitalization 'till his wedding with sweet sweet Jenny (one of the most intense and deep love story I've never seen). Glamorous Erica was living with her phony half-sister Silver,who was trying hard to set up a trap in order to steal Erica's man and modeling job. She did it so cunningly that the beauty - queen was forced to go to the psychiatrist for suffering nervous breakdown and amnesia. I loved the storyline concerning Nina and Steve: I remember the tail of a cyclone battering their helicopter and killing Steve. And I remember Nina's sister-in-law , auburn Linda Warner , burgling safes in P.V. And the Cortlands and the Chandlers' twins saga... Still now, when I enter this little lively place , I can breathe the spirit of American province ( and get short trips in NYC ) and I love staying with all these past and present characters, making myself at home. I'd like Susan Lucci to keep on surprising us and eventually to win another deserved Emmy Award!
