Meanwhile, Babe and Jamie made love and decided to marry. Life imitated art, or was that vice versa? It seems Justin who portrays Jamie, used takes in between the scenes to sincerely propose to his ladylove, he gave her three rings and made her cry as she said YES, YES, YES. They are such a cute couple.
Greenlee and Kendall are friends again and have figured out Jonathan is the one behind her poisoning/drugging. It amazes me how bold Greens is about breaking into someone else's apartment (after all it is Maggie's, not Jonny Boy's), there are guns, beatings, blackmail, and thin walls for eavesdropping. The list is endless. As usual, Jonathan was one step ahead of the two ex co-workers. I am sure this puts Maggie in even more harm's way. It has been very unsettling watching this storyline unfold. Maggie was fearless and strong and is now weak, afraid, and clueless. Fortunately, she has a caring circle of friends with Bianca, Reggie (he cracks me up when he is in his defensive mode), and Anita.
Bobby got a real beating and we are still in the dark as to who really did it. Edmund has paid him off to set up Zach, but who was it? Could Jonathan be a part of that abuse too? He is definitely like Jekyll/Hyde as he shows up at Ryan's on his birthday to surprise him with balloons, cake, and a remote controlled plane. It will take Ryan awhile to believe his baby brother is capable of all the accusations yet he thinks about their traumatic childhood living over the dry cleaners and fear of belts and too much beer. The cycle of abuse and how it affects various family members.
Kendall and Ethan are going strong; I really enjoy their rapport. Unfortunately, it does appear he could change in his behavior and/or attitude now with the Cambias name and billions. He is not happy with Zach keeping this information from him for so long. Erica dashes in and continues with her judgmental nature and hypocritical manner. First with Ethan and then with Zach and/or Maria. I had to chuckle when Zach told her to shut the hell up for once in her life and then called her on her delusion that she would make the cut at St. Peter's gate. When she gets on her high horse, I never enjoy the ride. When she is soft and caring, especially around Jack and her daughters, I flip thumbs up for Erica Kane!!!
At least now Erica will have her "New Beginnings" and a wedding to plan. Bianca and Ethan signed off on their new life and signed on Jack and Kendall. Ms Hart will be a busy woman working for both family members and with Greenlee at Fusion. I guess we saw the last of Bobby as he snuck out of the hospital and am sure can be found hitchhiking to Cayman Islands. It was very sad news to hear about Ruth Warrick's death, she has always been an important part of AMC's history. I can remember the early years when Phoebe was such a pistol and busybody as she tried to interfere in her children and grandchildren's lives. She was an amazing aunt and confidante to Brooke. I can remember thinking on the 35th Anniversary show how fragile she looked. Wow, I would have never guessed she was 88 years old. She had an amazing career and will be missed just like Mona continues to be.
I want to thank Mary and Dan (wasn't it great to have him share his year end commentary with us?) for covering me in my absence. I have been in the process of moving from my home of four years to share a new home with my oldest daughter and son-in-law. We are preparing for my granddaughter's arrival in April. I was also house/animal sitting for various friends as they took holiday trips. Now I feel like a vacation myself, LOL. There is so much to do with the house, nursery, and usual projects but it is all very exciting and I couldn't be happier. I must admit it has been difficult keeping up with AMC during all of this, but it was like keeping in touch with family and old friends when I did and thank you so much for all of your correspondence during this hectic time. My deepest apologies if I didn't get back to you or possibly missed an email as we switched Internet service. I am back up and running, so feel free to let me know how you feel about OUR FAVORITE SHOW. I like what they live by in the Big Easy (New Orleans) and suggest we all try it in the New Year (Happy 2005 to ALL) " Grab all the happiness you can while you can because you never know when the good times will roll around again!!!"
