Soaps Up Feb 16 09

This is why I, if I am home during the day-time, that I am watching either the news or the NFL Network, NBA channel or the new MLB channel ... along with ESPN...everything else on during the day is horrible...except for ... once-in-a-while...the Travel Channel has a good program on during the day. I am glad I have a job!

What a farce! This story was written and acted so poorly that the EP had to come out to tell us what we are seeing? Let's face it, ABC never had the guts to tell a real lesbian love story. In order to soften the blow they had to involve a man. If I was a gay woman fighting for the right to legally marry, this show, this couple and this story would certainly not be my champion. It's a cheap piece of soap decorated with a "groundbreaking" tag.

I know what I see, Ms. Carruthers! Lame for sure

This supposed groundbreaking SL is not so groundbreaking, it is insulting. Reese is in lust with a married man I see that all the time on soaps. What I don't see on soaps or in this story is a lesbian who loves and adores her partner and wants only to be with her partner (Bianca). I can't believe this SL is getting any accolades, especially when it's not a lesbian love story it's a confused women who seems to want another womens husband. That's not admirable that's disgusting.

Oh, I definitely agree, Amanda. This sham of a same sex marriage should be exposed for the bait and switch that HW Charles Pratt really wanted to convey by involving a man with one of the lesbians. The entire gay community should be upset with this storyline. Pratt is also destroying several core characters to tell this plot driven story. Pratt and Frons are driving the audience away from AMC with these ridiculous stories that insult the viewer's intelligence.

It disturbs me that AMC is receiving kudos in the media (other than Amanda) and from gay rights organizations for this irresponsible portrayal of gay marriage. They should have shown a realistic picture of a couple dealing with the very real challenges of same-sex couples. Meanwhile, Pratt has thrown several beloved characters under the bus for the sake of this sham of a story. Pratt and Frons are destroying AMC and no one at ABC seems to care.

Finally someone who has watched this farce is commenting on it and calling AMC out. JHC can point to the support the show and storyline have gotten from GLAAD and some LGBT publications, but it's obvious that they don't watch this trainwreck of a show. She should be paying attention to what actual viewers say, instead of pandering to bigots, who don't watch the show, and getting applause from attention seeking LGBT groups.

I totally agree with Amanda! WTG!!! It is time for AMC to get a clue on what the viewers want. We are not stupid, Mr.Pratt. You need to write stories that are in character and make sense. So far the writing has been terrible, stories are all over the place with no consistency, and nothing but doom and gloom. When are the executives at ABC going to step in and fix this show.  Put a writer (and Producer) in charge that gives a damn and has some talent (and passion to save this show).

I so agree! Very well said. TIIC at AMC obviously are completely out of touch and don't have a clue what they're doing.

[Foergang]

Awesome. Well said. Bianca belongs with Maggie anyway.

[littlet1994]

Didn't Maggie cheat on Bianca? Poor Bianca.

[Foergang]

Yep, but I still prefer her (Maggie) with Bianca.

[Aisha2178]

That makes two of us!

[Aisha2178]

Bianca sure does.
