Quote:A newbie here. Don't know if I'm posting this right or even in the right place so please be gentle.Did anyone happen to notice a good chemistry between Madison (Stephanie Gatschett) and Ryan(Cameron Mathison) on yesterday's 01/19/10 episode? First off.... Welcome, welcome, welcome.....and just to let you know, we are always gentle with newbies....LOL JMHO, but please no Ryan/Madison...Every single female put in Ryan's vicinity gets destroyed, turned into a brainless twit who only says things like, "Ryan is Good", "Ryan is Great", "Ryan Is Good", "Ryan is Right about everything and I should do what Ryan thinks is best"...Ryan hasn't had a good pairing since Gillian....Ryan --- Kendall part 1 was okay, but after that Ryan went downhill and takes everyone with him..Ryan--Kendall part 2 was an abusive relationship that is/was/always will be blamed on Kendall, while Ryan gets a pass...Rylee was another abusive relationship with everyone saying Ryan was/is sweet, good, hero crap.... knowing full well he threw GL against a dresser, threatened to bash her face in, & told her to get rid of thier baby...Ryannie had potential, but again, they took away Annie's backbone, brains, & self-esteem... The independent mom who came to town to protect her child, hard working, etc, turned into a Lavery Stepford bride overnight...then they turned her into the vile psycho she is now so that Ryan could be freed for Rylee 2.0Ryan--GL 2.0 just stupid.... Pod GL returned...and then died thank goodness...Ryan using Kendall as a weapon against Zach ticked many offRyErica is just vomit inducingRylee is on the way again & it's going to be as sickening as the last 3 times...Madison has a shot... Although, I liked her better when she was kicking Randi's butt, but pairing her with Ryan will ruin her...Chemistry or not.... Ryan destorys all.....I think they should go Franki/Madison, but give her back some kick....and as for Ryan.... He needs to just go, but that's just the opinion of the masses.....JMHO....

LOL agree completely that Ryan has run his course. Not sure I think Madison can be rehabilitated so quickly either, but we are talking soap time not real time. I don't want to see them together either, but I swear I saw a spark between them yesterday and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if TPTB tried pairing.

I didn't watch the episode you are referring to so I can't comment about the spark you saw. But I really hope there was no spark between them..because if history repeats itself, then Madison is doomed. Ryan has not had a successful pairing in ..forever.

I forgot to mention..welcome to the board.

Welcome Maggie. I also didn't see the episode that you are referring to, but I will have to agree with the masses...Ryan paired with just about anyone is a bad idea. I really would be happy if they put him in a coma for a long time. The only woman that ever worked for him was Gillian, but the forces over at AMC messed that all up. I see the writing on the wall though. They are going to bring Greenlee back and we are going to have to deal with this Ryan/Erica/Greenlee triangle...not that Erica stands a chance. She should be with Jackson anyway. I still say they should bring a long lost look-alike cousin or sister of Gillian's to give Greenlee a run for her money. Gillian and Greenlee's chemistry was fantastic. They hated each other and it was soooo much fun to watch.

I am quite upset about the new 'milquetoast Madi' -- I didn't like all the stunts the old psycho Madi pulled, but this 180 degree turnaround doesn't make any sense to me. I still find myself hoping that she will at least show some psycho around the edges, but so far nothing good has happened, and if the writers put her with Ryan she might as well have died all those months ago when her father said she had.
