AMC:Annoyances, all surrounding Brooke & Edmund's nuptials
Aisling Willow Grey
I
just
met
a
girl
named
Maureen,
and
suddenly
that
name,
blah,
blah,
blah...
Well. Couple of things, today.
I'm assuming Brooke will get a wedding -- well, at least the _start_ of
a wedding. That would be the best time for the Maureen/Maria reveal,
after all. So if they get to Brooke's wedding, the wedding from which
Langley will be painfully and obviously absent, and are _still_ trying
to tell us that he is just "off on a dig somewhere," I'm going to be
righteously annoyed! Isn't it time they took care of this bit of
overdue business, already?
Next, we have the Wildwind living room. Let's just gloss right over
David's car not being seen, David getting into the unlocked house
without being seen, David not being busted by the obviously blind maid
who came into the room 3 milliseconds after he hid behind the wall...
Let's just focus on one thing: the wedding portrait of Edmund and Maria.
Once Edmund started dating, it wasn't really appropriate for that to
be sitting around the living room like that. Somehow it reminded me of
Ned Flanders keeping all of Maude's stuff intact on The Simpsons. But
even if you disagree with me about the appropriateness of having the
wedding portrait out after he started dating (back around the days of
TKFP)...how about AFTER HE GOT ENGAGED TO ANOTHER WOMAN??? I mean, if
Maddie is starting to call Brooke "Mommy," it really seems that it's
time for that portrait to find a more _private_ place! It wouldn't be
that much more outrageous to imagine Brooke moving in to find a
life-sized version of it hanging over the stairwell, a la EEK's famous
horrible portrait.
And finally...after Isabella explained the earring to Brooke, hugged
her, and walked away to dance with Edmund...I absolutely thought that
Brooke's expression on turning away and grasping the edge of the bar was
as if she was thinking, or about to say: "Those f---ing Santi, can't
they just leave the dead buried?!!!"

You know, I found myself inexplicably delighted to see Isabella
yesterday. She looked *fabulous,* behaved graciously (by Santi
standards), and seemed to be having a kicking good time.
Brooke, on the other hand, must have taken a cue from the color of her
gown, wandering around the party like the Mask of the Ratty Orange
Death. That Tad was the only person to notice her behavior suggests
to me that Pine Valley as a whole is sick to death of this woman and
her moods. For pity's sake, she'd plant herself *in the middle of the
dance floor* with the expression of a person watching her house burn,
and her clueless prat fellow citizens just shimmied on by. Hilarious.
And, can I just say that, for a winner of the coveted Pulitzer Price
(ack... gag... snort), Edmund has an absolutely dreadful way with
words? Sure, his intended requires a great deal of maintenance and an
almost pathological amount of praise, but he might have found some
more graceful way to express his regard short of saying she was
responsible for his greatest happiness. It might well be true, but to
say it in the presence of his dead wife's brother, mother, and
children might be seen as a bit heartless.

Must be the new Sears commercial the actress has landed. She's wearing decidedly UNSantos trousers, and is
picking out clothes for her three kids. She throws them on the floor of the store & arranges them to
resemble her kids watching tv. Doesn't say a word - not one "mijo" or "mija". I kinds like it. Did you
notice the music to which she & Eddie were tangoing? It was pretty hard rock by my standards, and not
exactly Tango Argentina fare. Do the actors hear this music or not? Argh - another scene that made me
cringe (my face is gonna FREEZE this way!!!)!

There was **such** sincerity in his voice (EYE ROLL!!!!!). I'd like to hook this guy up to a lie detector
every time he says he loves her - he **never** sounds as though he means it (Can't exactly say I blame him
- OR the actor. What a bullshit script!).

actors hear this music or not?
Hi All,
Been lurking for a while, but I finally know an answer to something -so
thought I would post. In regards to the actors hearing the music - I
actually heard Kelly Ripa discussing this with Regis a few weeks ago on
Live. She said that dance scenes are extremely difficult to do because the
actors DO NOT hear the music. They are given a small snipet and then a
metronome (sp?) is used to supposedly help them keep the beat. She said
this is completely useless because the metronome keeps almost the same beat
for every song - so it is hard to differentiate between types of songs.
Hope this explains why the tango seemed so wrong.

ITA.............shouldn't we boycott this show or something...........until
they give this actor the respect he deserved?

She's dressed well, and her age (instead of 80), ever since Papa Santos did us
all a favor and died. That homophobic pig kicking the bucket was the best thing
that ever happened to her.

Am I the only one that thinks a Jackson/Isabella pairing would be
interesting? We could get Mateo in Hector mode protecting
his mother.....
OK, so I am the only one.... :-)

The actress, Socorro Santiago, was born in 1951. Have you seen her in
that Sears ad, where she's picking out clothes for the kids and laying
them on the floor to see what they'll look like, since all her kids
lie on the floor to watch TV.

Nah, I can see that being a nice sideline. Throw in Opal and make it
a triangle, while you're at it. Frankly, Jack has somehow developed
into a character who just can't seem to be trusted with a front-burner
story; every plot he touches turns to crap, somehow, and he's terribly
irritating in his current function, town morals critic. (Don't get me
started on his unfitness to lecture Anna on professional ethics.) I
don't see why they couldn't shift him into a comic-relief romance
mode.
