My Two Cents...

As everyone knows by now, Jamie Luner has assumed the role of Liza Colby. Let's examine this in depth, shall we? It's common knowledge that Ms. Luner starred on Melrose Place during Charles Pratt's tenure with the show. It's also obvious that the two have remained friendly. First question, did their friendship play a role in this casting decision? Answer: Yes.

How can someone with blatant disregard for the rich history of All My Children be hired to helm this iconic show? Answer: Brian Frons is completely out of his mind. That's the only explanation for such a ludicrous choice. If Mr. Pratt had even the slightest of clues, he would realize that Liza is being written completely out of character. With her history of issues surrounding sex, Liza would never have jumped the bones of a man we're supposed to believe she doesn't know. To that point, it's beyond difficult to believe that Zach wouldn't know who Liza is. He's made it his business to know everything Chandler inside and out. What the fuck!

Continuing, have dye jobs become so unaffordable that highly paid actresses can't even afford to look the part? Answer: With the budget crunch that's effecting AMC, hair and makeup were the first to go. Liza has always been a platinum blonde. Red hair just doesn't make sense. Why all the secrecy? Answer; In addition to getting a law degree while away, Liza also found time to become a secret agent/private investigator and is looking for Dixie's real killer. As a side note, does anyone else find Jamie Luner's line delivery robotic?

Apparently, along with her many other talents, Liza has become a card shark. No, I'm not making this up. Everything I've said is actually happening. I know, my head hurts to. I just don't buy any of it. Nothing. There have been plenty of miscasts through the years, but this one really has me baffled. It just seems wrong on every level. There are other issues I would like to address on this topic, but it's legitimately worn me out. I'm signing off for now.
