She has outdone herself this week! LOL
For the week of November 9th…
“That’s not a plan, Annie, that’s math.”
This week proved that while Scott may be from the Valley, he is not of the Valley.
It’s increasingly obvious that Scott spent his years away from the Valley among sane, rational, and fairly honest human beings. While I am sure he encountered situational ethics in the outside world, I doubt they were of the magnitude he sees each and every day in the Valley.
Why do I think this? Well, because Scott often looks befuddled. He looks shocked each time someone says or does something irrational or stupid or mean.
He is attracted to Annie but he is also fascinated by her. Almost everything she says is crazier than the last crazy thing she said. The only reason he is not appalled by her is because almost everything everyone says in the Valley is crazier than the last crazy thing they said.
Scott often seems lost. It is too bad he doesn’t have Stuart or Marion to guide him through Pine Valley’s own brand of meshugas.
And, yes, Scott should tell the authorities who killed his father, but I understand why he hasn’t. Scott is grieving. Grief-stricken people often do things that do not make sense to other people. As he said last week, Adam is all that Scott has left. This doesn’t make Scott a bad person; it makes him a confused man who is in a lot of pain.
Speaking of crazy things people say, did anyone else laugh when Kendall said, “She (Annie) got Ryan to fall for her”? Annie didn’t even want to date Ryan, let alone marry him. He pursued her. Ryan fell for Annie because he wanted to, not because Annie cast a spell on him. This sort of thing drives me crazy. Not quite as crazy as Pine Valley-ites, but damn close.
And why did Kendall invite her former lover, Aidan, to share her bed? More importantly, why did she leave the door open while taking a bath? Just when I thought the writers could not make Kendall even more clueless, they surprise me. (Why do they hate Kendall?)
Why was Aidan shocked by Kendall’s take-no-prisoners attitude? She has always had a take-no-prisoners attitude. Well, she did until the writers decided they hated her.
Speaking of clueless people, why don’t Amanda and Jake realize they will never be rid of David? He is Trevor’s father. Or at least he is until the writers decide he isn’t. November sweeps, anyone?
Awkward segue to everything else. (I apologize. I have been making Christmas ornaments all day. Apparently inhaling glitter has a toxic effect on my brain’s ability to form a cohesive thought.)
“Is it really lying if you are doing it to help somebody?”
Yes it is, Annie, if you or Adam or David are doing the lying. It is perfectly acceptable behavior for anyone else living in the Valley.
“Screw, David, screw him.” Be patient, Jake, it’s only a matter of days before Amanda does just that.
“I wasn’t the liar in our relationship, Annie.” Just for the record, Ryan, Annie wasn’t the only liar in your relationship. That’s all I’m saying.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have called him.” (See above: Kendall, clueless, writers’ hate)
Erica really knows how to wear red to a wedding, doesn’t she? For more about her dress, visit my second favorite website, Tom & Lorenzo’s Project Rungay:

“It pissed me off.” Kudos to Angie. It was about time she told Jesse how she really feels. Wasn’t Debi Morgan splendid in those scenes? They were long overdue. I guess the writers remembered that Angie is a major, not a minor, character.
Will this week’s spoilers piss us off or not? Let’s see.
Damon’s interest in Stuart bothers Liza.
As it should. Damon may not look very bright but I am sure he knows what extortion is.
Liza refuses to take any more crap from David.
Translation: she will be in love with him by the time February sweeps roll around.
Natalia’s plan to make Angie and Jesse forget their differences fails.
Poor Natalia. Hopefully, Brot will be around to cheer her up.
Jesse tells Frankie and Randi that Madison has been kidnapped.
It’s always something with Madison, isn’t it? If she isn’t blackmailing, she’s dying. If she isn’t dying, she’s been kidnapped. Geesh.
Kat has a thing for Aidan who has a thing for Kendall.
This cannot possibly end well. That said, it is good to see BethAnn Bonner back on my TV screen.
Kendall decides to turn herself in. Aidan does not react well to her decision.
Lately, Aidan has been acting a few currants short of a proper Spotted Dick.
Aidan decides he will never lose Kendall again.
Let’s make that quite a few currants short of a proper Spotted Dick.
While unconscious, Adam makes a little trip to Purgatory. Of course, David plays Satan.
Damn, I bet David looks good in cloven hooves.
When Adam comes to, the first words out of his mouth are “I do.” Annie persuades the minister to consider those the completion of Adam’s wedding vows. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the 10th Mrs. Adam Chandler.
And who is your favorite Mrs. Adam Chandler? I loved Adam and Brooke. I confess to also enjoying those two crazy kids, Adam and Arlene.
JR tells the wedding “guests” that Annie is pregnant.
Will Erica start planning the baby shower? Probably not.
Ryan tells Annie he knows she is lying.
“Am not.” Are, too.” “Am not.” “Are, too.” Ad infinitum.
Annie decides to fake a miscarriage so she falls down the stairs.
Oh, how I miss the original miscarriage stairs. Those glorious marble steps in the Chandler mansion-when it really was a mansion.
Ryan calls in the paramedics. He hopes they will confirm that Annie is faking. Everyone, including Annie, is shocked when it turns out she really is pregnant.
Am I pathetic because the idea of Ryan being wrong makes me giddy with delight?
Liza lets Colby know that Adam shot Stuart.
I hope she gives Colby the entire picture. Am I hoping for too much?
JR verbally attacks Adam about Stuart’s murder. He decides to have nothing to do with his father. JR tells Colby she should do the same.
Cancer or not, I have had it with this little punk. He decides not to tell Adam about the cancer. He gets angry when Adam misreads his symptoms and thinks he is drinking again. Clearly the fact that Adam was drugged makes no impact on him. It’s odd because didn’t JR run Amanda down with his car while he was drunk? I guess his “under the influence” counts but Adam’s doesn’t. Little punk with a boring wife.
Jake tells Amanda that once the new baby is born, they will have a long and happy life together.
How deluded are these two? Haven’t they noticed they are living in Pine Valley? Pine Valley, where even Ruth Martin had an affair.
David arranges for a mishap on the way to the fertility clinic.
“Oh, look, the car is out of gas. I could have sworn I filled the tank yesterday.” Here’s the sad thing: David doesn’t even have to try hard to get Amanda to believe every single thing he says.
David convinces Amanda that the fastest way to make a baby is the old-fashioned way- by having sex in the back seat of the car.
I made the last part up. At least I think they don’t have sex in the backseat.
David tells Amanda that Jake will never find out. Amanda then decides to have sex with David.
I know I should hate David for this, but I don’t. Amanda is too stupid for me to care about what happens to her.
Which leads me to this question: are ABC soaps the only ones plagued with misogynistic writers? Or are others plagued as well?
