Yes, I agree that AMC could use some more "evil" characters.
Even Tad has become pretty docile.
Can anyone remember the name of the man that Daisy was
married/engaged to? He was pushed overboard off Palmer's
yacht? My husband has been hoping he would reappear.

One thing I hate about AMC is the way they stereotype
people. For example, Brooke is a working woman, who
never spends anytime with her child.
Jesse is a hot-headed black man, who is always in trouble
and can't seem to hold down a decent job.
Nina was  president of a corporation, only because
her father owned the company.
I also hate the way they portray children -  usually up
in their rooms, playing by themselves, no matter how
old they are (Frankie, Joey, Bobby, Laura). I hope
that people don't think that is realistic.
(Not that I expect Soaps to be realistic.)

My husband, who has his own business, hates the way
the people on AMC who own their own businesses, never
seem to spend anytime at work. (And then Benny is surprised
when Eugene rips him off - yes, Eugene was another stereotype,
although he was a good villian character)

Does anyone else have any gripes about AMC? 
(Don't ask me why we watch it - basically because there's
not much else on and it's hard to get into another
soap)
