GH had no say or anything. Basically they were given the guy and told his first eppy had to air on X date. AMC realized the problem GH had and halfway through IWBASS took the six actors's files and sat down and figured out who each actor who play (they knew they wanted it to be a returning character) and how to write them in

Yeah Alec Musser got the better deal, I think. Even though AMC barely uses him, they were able to give him more than the guy on GH got.

He hasn't done much, but he's still here, how much later? And he is tied to an important family/character which is nice. I'd still like to have seen some scenes between him and Kendall though, they were engaged.

I know, that was ridiculous! they had ONE SCENE together where Kendall mentioned ONCE that she nearly MARRIED the guy.
Del's story really died as soon as Di's did. And Di's story died as soon as they got Cady back as RealDixie. There could be great stuff between the three of them but no, AMC just shoves them aside. Argh.

I like Cady alot but her return storyline sucks. I'm not sorry she came back but....well she got the McT treatment. LOL. I'd rather her than Di though, I think. Though my preference would be both of them getting airtime.

Sigh, I miss Ned. It kind of pisses me off that we see so much of Robert but no Ned. Ned put in his time and is ignored!

i agree - the writers are blowing it and they need to fix it before it's too late

LOL I had a similar conversation with Tex yesterday....we agreed that AMC needs to go back to the Mardi Gras Ball and rewrite everything that has happened since. Then maybe the show would be okay.
My thoughts: Dixie lurks for only half as long.
Madden is DIRECTLY involved in why she had to stay away for four years. None of this "I was ashamed" crap
Madden is also more overtly a villain. He takes Kendall to the island with full intention of keeping the baby and doesn't allow her to leave. he threatens Dixie and her family. He tries to go after Erica. Blah blah blah. That way at least his death would have been justified and we could have a serious umbrella storyline out of it.
Zendall do not remarry. They can be engaged again, but not married
I hated that Kendall in a coma storyline but if they really want it...Kendall is there due to an illness she contracted, not blocks falling on her head. Then it makes sense WHY it's Kendall or the baby....she's too weak for a C section but the baby could contract the disease if left in there too long. And I'd make Madden responsible for that too somehow. Plus...with Zendall only engaged, it means its Erica's decision as to what to do.
Jabe do not remarry. Everyone believes that Babe did take Little Adam, given her track record and how Janet set her up, and JR dumps her for it.
Adam dumps Krystal. Just because.
Josh is Kendall's twin, not a Martin. Either that or he's half Erica and half Greg (which would make sense given Greg's obsession with Erica). He did not implant all those women with his sperm though. That always seemed contradictory to me...he has all these kids out but chooses to keep someone else's?
The baby is not named Spike.

I never bought the donor one stuff. It seemed tacked on and bizarre And Josh should have been the twin, it would have been much more believeable
