All My Amnesiacs?

I'm getting concerned. It seems as though the residents of our beloved valley are having issues with memory loss. Ryan and Greenlee were beyond nauseating this week. Ryan's proclamation that Greenlee is his one and only true love is laughable. Does he not remember Hungarian Princess Gillian? Likewise, Greenlee's claim that Aidan completes her makes me taste bile in the back of my throat. Nobody except Leo ever loved her unconditionally. People given headwriting positions should really be made to brush up on history before crafting a story.

All right, I wasn't going to go off on a big tangent, but I can't help myself. The way in which Ryan handled breaking the news of Annie's miscarriage to Emma was stupid beyond any reasoning. The dialogue accompanying the scene was even worse. Ryan tells his five year old daughter that their going to plant a tree in memory of a dead fetus in the park and that everytime she plays near it, she can think of her would-be sibling. Let me stress again people, FIVE YEARS OLD! What member of the writing team came up with this brilliant gem? Thinking about it makes my head ache.

I'm really beginning to dislike Jesse. This is unfortunate because I think Darnell Williams is such an amazing actor. The way that Jesse talked to Angie this week was bordering on abuse. Angie has every right to be curious/suspicious about what happened in her husband's life the twenty years he was missing. From what I hear is coming down the pike, Jesse would do best to confess everything now.

Erica and Adam are absolute gold. Their date was amazing. Everything from comedy to snarking to tender moments. I hope this couple is explored to their fullest potential. A special shoutout this week to Elizabeth Rodriguez. Her performance was one for the ages. I know there's more to cover but I'm starting to nod off. Will try my best to catch up in the next post.
