AMC: Funeral for a Hypocrite
Carolyn Adams
I saw this live, and it was a LAUGH RIOT. No, it wasn't
supposed to be. It's my own perverse sense of humor. I am
proud to be one of the original members of the IHLC, and
seen in the proper light, this episode with her funeral does not
disappoint. Thank god it's Thursday, and Ashley, fellow IHLC
member will write this one up.
Highlights: Trevor's apology to the viewers monologue
Michael's "Fairy Tale" about his sister
Hayley's eulogy mercifully cut off by song
Tom exits funeral to solve murder
And my own personal pick for the funeral music:
Elton John's "Funeral for a (Hypocrite)", and
"Love lies Bleeding"
I told you I was perverse. But not as perverse as Laurel.

again are you? Just like MG said.
My LOD from the funeral, and the one that made me ROFLMAO was
at the end of Michael's emotional speech, when he vowed he would get
to know Laurel's children, and tell them of the good old days, when
"Laurel ruled the world, and made me feel 100 feet tall."
I'd call that a Fairy Tale of major proportions. Laurel spent most of
the last 20 years ignoring her brother, & pretending he wasn't gay. I
can't imagine that would solidify the old sibling bond. She was also an
embezzler with a host of aliases, generally unliked by the fans. EXCUSE
ME? When Laurel ruled the world? Reality check, Michael.
As for her 11th hour appearance on a talk show, saying she loved her
brother. I don't know. It seems to me that you don't have grandstand
real love. Maybe a birthday card every year would have been better
than totally ignoring the guy until he shows up in your own town.
I also liked Trevor's apologia. "Okay, so we weren't flashy. Ok, so
we never had a hot sex scene. We were sorta boring. We never made
a convincing couple. The fans never liked us. Everyone still misses
Real Nat. Married in May, killed off in February. So, they got rid of
her quick. Play along, audience. Pretend like you care. I gotta."

It did provide a good chuckle, didn't it? And maybe it's just my
bias, but I really *really* thought the actors were trying very hard
to stifle their own laughter. During Trev's soliloquy before the
funeral, I'd swear he was grinning, fighting hard to hold it off. Mike
too, when he started 'crying' and hid his face with his hand --
sounded like laughter to me....

As glad as I am to have seen this -- hopefully, this will be the end of
those flashbacks (Just say NO to MoralBorel!), I was hoping for a eulogy
that was like Erica's meltdown at the Media Awards Gala. How funny would
it have been if people went to the podium and recounted her criminal past
-- the suitcase full of aliases, the money stolen from the Mason
Foundation, obstructing justice by tossing Denny's corpse down the Marick
Mineshaft, etc.
When Jack got up to speak and started talking about the first time he saw
her, appearing out of nowhere, I was *praying* that he would then explain
that she was hiding from some people who were out to get her for ripping
them off.
Oh well, at least they finally put her out of our misery.

I had to laugh when Jack was talking about the first time he saw
Laurel, something along the lines of her being a "vision in his
headlights, and he managed to see her beauty and her spirit in that
moment." Hel-Lo, Jackie-boy, that was the *other* Laurel you saw - the
tall, blond Amazon woman, not big-lip-Laurel-#2.
And when he said "she taught me to Live more, Love more, Laugh more",
I also thought he should have added "Lie more, Lip more..."

revenge at the end, in which he emoted more than Trevor had the whole
time. And Trevor calmly says," nah, Janet didn't do it", as if he's talking
about his golf score. My god, his "beloved spouse" was just blown to
Hell, and he's rationally noting the good qualities his hated sister-in-law
possesses. Not six months ago, he was ready to blow Janet away on
no real provocation, and now, when he should be beside himself, he's
Mr. Reasonable. Meanwhile, the people who should be defending Janet
are too irrational or self involved to do so.
These Pine Valley people are odd. "Where's my motivation?"

You know, actually, the storyline that could keep Michael as a cast
member would be if HE raised Lily. Let Jackson die of his bad heart
or something. I bet Mike would have that kid free of autism as quickly
as he taught Laura to read at college level. I think that would be a first,
to show a loving gay parent on tv.

First, the superficial 'ho tries to keep Laura from giving Janet some
much-needed moral support at the arraignment. Then, as soon as Pierce
(Cabin-Stud Boy) appears and says that he is going to court, the phony cow
decided to tag along.
After the arraignment, I *really* wanted to slap that smug smirk off of
her stupid face. That "I'm sooo superior to you, and I've now got
everything that matters to you" self-satisfied smile nearly made me
regurgitate my lunch.

Ooooh werent you just too happy when Janet told that Brooke the lousy
hypocrite off. Brooke has some nerve trying to ease her own guilt for
catting around with Pierce by being nice to Janet now. BROOKE!!! YOURE A
LITTLE LATE!!! If you wanted to do Janet a favor you should of kept your
skinny little butt out of Pierces bed to begin with. And lousy
back-stabbing ,two-timing, rat-deserting the sinking ship Pierce is even
worse. Don't you get the feeling he hopes Janet is guilty just so he can
justify in his mind cheating on her in the first place. Someone hand me a
crowbar will ya. I want to be first in line to give these 2 the whacks
they so richly deserve.

Can I be second in line? Brooke has really gotten on my nerves
lately! And Pierce has turned out to be a two-faced little @#!%! I
was so happy when Janet told Brooke off! I kept replaying that scene
and was cheering for Janet.
Brooke: Janet, if there's anything that I...
Janet: you can take from me? No, Brooke. You've got it all.
Every thing I cared about. Now why don't you just leave me the hell
alone!

Yes, as I was watching Monday's show, I must admit I was thinking about
how much fun all the AFAC Brooke's must be having (too bad it wasn't on
Tuesday, imagine the fun Christine M. would have had encapsulating all
those scenes).
But-- Leslie, and all you other AFACs-- *please* be careful! The way
you're starting to rant and rave, I do believe that, as Laura put it,
"you're starting to lose it." Here, we BL&Ps truly care for you, and
have we told you how grateful we are about the time you saved us from
drowning when YKW posted that she was a Brooke-lover. While you're
under the weather, we want to help take care of you--so we'll take
over all the stationery and bake sale receipts and other sundry
catalog items. Don't worry, I'll make sure they're all kept in the
best of care. What's that--what else can I take from you?!? Why
AFAC Brookes, we are just trying to do what's best for everyone.

Brooke is the whiniest, most insidious hypocrite I have ever
seen now. I HATE people who try to force you into doing things
they want and you don't by claiming "it's for your own good" the
way Brooke is trying to force Laura to stay away from Janet. She
even has the nerve to try to make Janet feel guilty about Laura
coming to the trial so Janet will do her dirty work for her,
since she can't get her own way.
She is making me sick to my stomach every time I even see her
face lately. I'm not sure I will ever be able to like the Brooke
character again, no matter what they do with her in the future.
I really dislike her intensely.

But Brooke DOESN"T like her or want to believe she's innocent. She
IS a sanctimonious hypocrite. She's being civil to Janet because she
thinks of herself as a civilized, wonderful person. Also because she's
sleeping with Pierce and has some sick need to adopt another Laura, and
wants to appear to be fair to Janet in their eyes. Brooke has this
do gooder mentality that really makes me hate her, because I don't buy
an ounce of sincerity in it. I don't know if it's bad acting or writing, but
I don't buy this Brooke jazz at all. Not Brooke and Pierce, not Brooke
with Laura, not Brooke with the art stuff. Nada.
The part I get a lot of humor out of is Brooke as sexpot. Yeah, right.
But this is how the writers have written this, and they really want us to
believe 1) Adam wants her for the hot sex 2) she's a hot babe, and
3) Pierce wants her for the hot sex. I know I'm the wrong gender to
be sure, but I suspect the frumpy Janet would be a hotter babe than
wooden Brookie.

I for one find Janet more attractive than Brooke. Janet is hotter
in her cabin clothes (jeans and a regular shirt) than Brooke in her
"sophisticated " style even when she tries to accentuate her
posotives (flashback to Hayley's 1st try at marrying Alec last May
and that hideous boustier type top she was wearing)
I think the water in PV makes people loco. Back when Janet
seduced Palmer and Tad found out, he gagged. And months earlier he told
Janet as Jane that she was beautiful. What I felt sorry for was poor
Janet sleeping with old Palmer. The near mental image of wrinkled Palmer
and lanky Opal doing the horizontal hoochie coochie is enough for mind to
shut down from the trauma. I wonder if Opal wears all that jewelry in bed.
I haven't watched in a month, I get to go home this weekend and have a

The thing that really bothered me about this whole Laurel/Trevor thing was
that when Jack and Laurel got together they were the love's of each
other's lives. Yadda yadda yadda and then he gets sorta involved with
Erica - again - and Laurel starts fantasizing about Trevor. And then they
make her into super mom and canonize her after her death. Puleeeze, the
woman left her man ( he came back contrite) for his best friend, she was
an embezzler and so piously hypocritical of anyone else who had made poor
life choices that she was sickening! I am glad Laurel is gone. And to top
it all off, Jack still thought she was wondeful despite her breaking his
heart AND they all stayed friends.
I think Jack and Janet should get together. Pierce blew it for me when he
did the horizontal tango with Brooke.

Can't agree more, in fact, I think Myrtle looks better
than most of these "younger" women(Brooke,i.e.). If they
would just cease touting them as outrageously beautiful
and sexy I'd be happy- they are just ordinary human
beings, some of whom are extraordinary in character. If
Arlene was a dried up old hag, we should all be so lucky!
Yes, it is a shame what happens when one gets older- it's never easy
to see lines or have aches, but hopefully we all will go
down that path, God willing! Or is it soap credo to live fast,
die young and have a good looking corpse!(can't remember who said
that or I'd give credit).

Exactly! It gets very trying them telling us over and over how
desirable these women are, desirable enough to be kidnapped and stalked
and whatever else happens to desirable women. (Name one
<established> woman who has NOT been kidnapped or stalked in PV.
Quick!)

Well, it wasn't me! :) Brooke is not aging well. Erica looks pretty
damn good apart from that skinny-woman's-turkey-neck thing. But she is
not a teenager any more, even if she does act like one sometimes.
Oh, and here's another thing - why is jumping into bed the solution to
everything in PV. Erica especially comes across as a woman who will
take sex any way she can get it and from whomever will give it, too!
Don't get me wrong. My sex life is HEALTHY but it gets me a bit crazy
when they have so many bed scenes with people lying around in some
soporific afterglow saying things like, that was wonderful and it's
never been like that before. Give me a break!

[the following in lovely script font a la funeral thank you note]
Trevor's Gut would like to thank all the kind Ratsa folks who sent
food during Trevor's time of bereavement. All your dishes have been
washed and delivered back to the funeral home for you to pick up at
your convenience.
The food tally came to 6 jello salads, a cheese ball, 17 Bundt Cakes
and one main dish entree, our favorite -- Baloney Roll-Ups.
