Thoughts on All My Children...
.
Okay, this is where I admit that...it's because of Tad and Dixie that I fell in love with All My Children at...prepare yourself, folks...age five. No, I'm not kidding. I've been a shipper since I was five years old. Sad, but true.
I used to name my barbies Tad and Dixie. I used to write Tad and Dixie scenes in my journal at school.
As far as I'm concerned, they're the Luke and Laura of All My Children.
So the last few episodes have been really upsetting to me, and unsettling. I knew all along she wasn't dead, cause hello? Soap opera! No one ever dies! Not really. One day they will bring back Greenlee and Leo will still be alive...here's a hint: if they don't find the body, that's because the person's not really dead!
That aside.
I am pissed at nearly all the characters on my 20 year beloved soap.
Yeah, it wasn't the right choice for her to stay away for four years and let everyone believe she was dead. But like Stuart said--this is Dixie. She had to have had one hell of a damn good reason to do what she did because she loves J.R. and Tad like nothing else in the world.
David Hayward can go plunge off a cliff and fucking die as far as I'm concerned. I hate him. I've never really been fond of him, but now? He can just go die. Because what he did to Tad and Dixie and J.R. is absolutely unforgivable.
Brooke? I couldn't help but snort when she was reading Di the riot act because hello? Hypocrite much? But then she owned up to her hypocrisy and redeemed herself though I was still annoyed.
What the hell is wrong with Del? I mean I know he's kind of a scum bag, but he's wanting to publically expose his sisters for money? Both of whom, btw, donated kidneys to him. Well, he sucks too and they should demand their organs back. Jackass.
I was really upset with Tad a few episodes ago when he first saw Dixie...I get it, that he's hurt and betrayed and angry. I get it. I really do. But this is Dixie, his soulmate, the only woman he's ever really, truly loved! You think he'd be glad to see she was alive and that he would know her well enough to know she must have some seriously good reasons to have stayed away, WITHOUT having to have Stuart point it out! But I love Tad, and I will forgive him as long as he starts being the guy I know he is.
Babe. I get that she's upset on behalf of J.R. But really, she has no damn right to criticize Dixie without even hearing her side of the story considering she STOLE HER BEST FRIEND'S BABY and tried to pass Miranda off as her own. Babe is the last person who should be critical, but I love Babe too, and as long as she chills out and doesn't rip into Dixie, I'll forgive her as well.
Adam. I actually understand his anger and his wanting to protect his son. However, I do not condone violence, and the way he threatened Dixie with a gun felt out of character to me. We know Adam's not a great guy, but he's not a horrible one either. It just didn't feel right.
J.R. is the only one of the characters I really truly felt sorry for in this whole situation. His heartbreak and betrayal was just so obvious. And I've never been a big fan of J.R. (at least not since Jessie McCartney left the roll), but I have to give Jacob Young props here...he should get an award for yesterday's performance alone. I was blown away and incredibly impressed. And sad. I actually cried for him. *sigh*
Dixie herself...I still love her. I can't help it. She'll always be one of my favorite female characters. But even I'm getting frustrated with her lack of telling other people WHY she stayed away so long. If she would just open up to SOMEONE, ANYONE! It would be so much better for everyone. Luckily she has guardian angel Stuart on her side, and I think Tad listened to him. I think Tad is going to do his best to find out what happened to her, and why she's done what she has.
The writers...I think unless their sole purpose here was to make me hate David, they failed with this reunion. What should have been a much more emotional reunion with Tad was ruined thanks to him and I'm very annoyed.
Anyway, those are my long-winded thoughts.
*sigh*
