8/28 ~ Anger, Passion, & Jealousy

This episode isn't really a Take 2 episode except for the last scene, but I thought it's still important to post.

Anger: Taylor pleaded with Frankie to help her redeploy. In her attempt they fight because she's obviously hiding something, and she can't hide it from him. He knows her too well. She can't fool him at all.
Passion: Amanda introduced Jake to his new cabin (aka David Hayward's old cabin). They encountered a lizard and joked around about things. They christened the cabin by making love on the floor. Very hot!
Jealousy: The last scene - Taylor was running with difficulty, and she saw Jake. He didn't see her, though. She was a bit happy to see him...until Amanda caught up to him. Taylor was obviously jealous of Amanda.

Taylor: Don't mess with me! I can take you anytime.


Jake: Is this how you act when you win at push-ups? I guess I won't ever let you win again.

[Taylor grunting]

Jake: You do those every morning?

Taylor: Yep.

Jake: How many can you do?

Taylor: Does it matter? It's not like you could keep up anyway.

Jake: Really? Try me.

Taylor: You're on. Real push-ups. And I won't count the 25 I just did.

Jake: Oh, real push-ups. Ok, first one to drop.

[Grunting]

Amanda: Hey, I thought you'd want to start the day off with something sweet. Or you could just start it off with sweat.



Amanda: Ok, I'll just be over here watching.

[Grunting]

Jake: Ok, you win. No, no, no, no.

Taylor: It's victory. That's victory twice, Martin, twice.

Amanda: Ooh, smoked by a girl. Ouch.

Jake: That's not a girl. She's not a girl. Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Taylor: I told you I stay in shape.

Jake: Yeah.

Amanda: Damn, you should have your own workout video. You know, with the cool music, cute little outfits.

Jake: I've got a feeling Taylor doesn't do cute little outfits.

Taylor: Oh, please. I'm taking a shower.

Amanda: Come here. It was nice to see you.

[Door slams] Ok, then. Here you go.

Jake: Don't worry about it. She's a door-slammer. She likes to slam doors. Oh, and you're a lifesaver. This is great. This is great, because all Taylor's got is, like, wheat germ and wheat grass, psyllium husk. Do you know where the plates are?

Amanda: Gross. Yeah, I, uh, spent some time here before, so, uh -- so, did you guys figure out who's going to take the place?

Jake: Well, I'm going to let her have it. It turns out she is a girl after all. And, uh, I don't know. We'll find something. If you hear of anything, just -- you know, if you hear of an apartment or something.

Amanda: Oh, well, actually, I do know of a place. There's this cabin out in the woods.

Jake: Yeah, because that doesn't sound creepy.

Amanda: No, shut up. It's cool. You know Babe Carey? Her dad used to own it.

Jake: Hayward? David Hayward? David Hayward's cabin? No, no, no, no. I have no interest in that, thank you.

Amanda: Oh, don't tell me he drugged you, too.

Jake: No, I'm just -- I'm not interested.

Amanda: Well, it's not like you have to share a medicine cabinet with the guy. The place has been vacant for years. It's totally available and totally perfect -- just like somebody else I know.

Jake: I'll think about it.

Amanda: All right, well, I will get a hold of the realtor just in case.

Jake: Ok, you don't like to take no for an answer.

Amanda: When it comes to something I want, no way.



Taylor: Hey.

Jake: Hey.

Taylor: I thought you took off with your girlfriend.

Jake: She's not my girlfriend. I told you that. I just went to go get a little -- you know what? And if she was my girlfriend, I'd be pissed. I'd be really pissed with you.

Taylor: What did I do?

Jake: What did you do? You didn't say hello. You didn't say how are you. You could be nice -- a nicer person. You could have said thank you for stopping by.

Taylor: She didn't come here to see me.

Jake: No, all right. Well, here you go. This is to you. Cheers. You can keep the apartment.

Taylor: Oh, I can keep it? You're letting me keep the apartment that I have a lease on?

Jake: Yeah, that's right, because that's what nice people do, ok? Look into that. Write that down. That's a good one.

Taylor: Well, where are you going?

Jake: I don't know. Amanda found a --

Taylor: Amanda, you're not-girlfriend. I'm sorry. Go -- continue.

Jake: Amanda found a cabin or a little place in the woods, so --

Taylor: Well, that's nice. It's rustic. It's nice.

Jake: Yeah. And you? How long do you think you're going to stay in pine valley?

Taylor: I don't know. It depends on my foot. Hopefully, not too long.

Jake: Yeah, you're in a big rush to get back to beautiful downtown baghdad, are you?

Taylor: I'm not there for spring break.

Jake: I'm sorry. Uh, I just -- you know, I don't understand why anybody would want to go to war.

Taylor: No, somebody like you wouldn't.

Jake: Maybe you can explain it. Explain it to someone like me.

Taylor: Being a soldier? I don't know how to explain that. It's in your blood. It's in mine, literally.

Jake: You're an army brat?

Taylor: Army brat, third generation, two brothers in the service.

Jake: You got any sisters?

Taylor: Nope.

Jake: No sisters. So you're just surrounded by men your whole life. That can't be easy for you.

Taylor: Just had to work that much harder to be heard, is all. But I guess that's no different from anywhere else for a woman, right?

Jake: Don't take this the wrong way, but, uh, I don't get it. I don't get what we're doing in iraq. Do you?

Taylor: I'm not there to get it. I'm there to do a job. Honor, protect, serve.

Jake: So you'd just risk your life for something you don't believe in?

Taylor: I didn't say I didn't believe in it. Listen to me. When you are out there with the sand in your mouth and the sun beating down on you, it's not about politics. It's about the guy to your left who has got three kids and the guy over here who is an only son. And at the end of the day, it's about making sure that there's more of us left standing than are them.

Jake: Yeah, but that's the thing. Who is them? Do we even have the right guys? Who -- in this situation, who is them?

Taylor: They are the ones launching the grenades.

Jake: But why? For what? I just -- to me, there's no just cause. To me, the whole thing is a mistake.

Taylor: Good people died over there, do you get that? Amazing, loved, needed people died. Don't you ever tell me it was for nothing.



Taylor: Leaving so soon?

Jake: Yeah.

Taylor: Well, see you around then.

Jake: Listen, if I offended you before, I'm -- I'm sorry.

Taylor: You know what, don't worry about it.

Jake: It's just that war is a tough, touchy subject.

Taylor: Jake, seriously, it's fine. And I'm sorry if I wasn't nice to your friend.

Jake: Well, you know, if you ever need me to look at your heel, I'd be --

Taylor: Thank you.

Jake: Want me to help you?

Taylor: I got it.

Jake: Trying to move the couch? I don't mind.

Taylor: I'm good, I got it. I don't need your help.

Jake: I'm sorry, my mistake. Why accept help from a guy who has never worn a uniform, right? Anyway, it was nice to re-meet you.

Taylor: You, too.

Jake: And good luck to you if you do go back to Iraq.

Taylor: Thank you.

Jake: Good luck to you. Thanks.

8/27 ~ Battle Lines Are Drawn

Jake wakes up to Taylor doing push-ups and joins in. While they compete, Amanda waltzes in with breakfast for Jake. She's ignored until Jake can't handle the push-ups anymore and Taylor heads to the shower. Amanda offers David Hayward's old cabin for Jake to live in and soon leaves for work. And the remaining Jake/Taylor scenes are awesome. They had a simple disagreement about the war yesterday, but today shows the first true "battle" between them. They have a much meatier fight, in which it's made clear where they stand about the war. I really enjoyed seeing their beliefs surface even more. Jake and Taylor make amends, thinking they won't see much of each other anymore. Jake clears out and winds up meeting Amanda at ConFusion. Taylor, meanwhile, is haunted again about her time in Iraq. She's obviously hiding something and isn't ready for redeployment.

8/26 Transcript

Credit goes to TV Megasite, but I got it from Ricky's Official FanSite. http://rickypaullgoldinfans.yuku.com/topic/790

Jake and Taylor: What are you doing here?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jake: See these keys? These were given to me by my brother, Tad. This apartment belongs to my nephew Jamie.

Taylor: See these keys? They were given to me by the landlord. This is my lease, signed and notarized.

Jake: I'll sleep at the hospital.

Taylor: I win.

Jake: Won't be the first time. I'm having troubles when it comes to living accommodations, for some reason.

Taylor: I know. I -- I heard you on the phone at the hospital, talking about moving out. Sorry.

Jake: Yeah, moving. I've been doing that a lot lately.

Taylor: You know, this is stupid. We can both spend the night here. We'll just talk about it in the morning over coffee.

Jake: Are you sure?

Taylor: Reason I shouldn't be?

Jake: Uh, just a strange place, strange guy, you know. Are you usually this gutsy?

Taylor: One, I could probably take you. Two, I already let you fondle my foot at the hospital. And, three, I think my virtue is safe with you. I can't go to school with her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taylor: You visualizing design ideas?

Jake: Yeah, I'm thinking a cabana look would be nice. Or disco, because disco never dies, never.

Taylor: I like that. What was your last place like?

Jake: Uh, temporary, and the place before that was a medieval hovel. Sudan, southern Sudan. Not enough medical supplies.

Taylor: Were you Doctors Without Borders?

Jake: Yep.

Taylor: That's really cool. You come all the way back here just to have your heart broken.

Jake: My heart? Oh, well, I had a little romance a long time ago, but Aidan loves Greenlee, and it's all good. I -- I'm just out of luck, that's all. What can I say?

Taylor: Well, I'm sorry. Any new prospects on the horizon?

[Knock at door]

Jake: Should I get that?

Amanda: Welcome wagon. [Kisses Jake]

Taylor: I guess so.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amanda: Oh, hi. I'm Amanda. Are you one of the movers?

Taylor: No, I'm Taylor. I live here.

Amanda: What? I thought Jamie rented the apartment to you.

Jake: We both kind of ended up getting the same apartment.

Amanda: Oh. Well, lucky for you, I have my houseboat. You can come aboard, matey. It's actually a yacht, but that sounds so decadent.

Taylor: I know.

Jake: I don't know if that would be the greatest idea.

Amanda: The greatest? Sure, it is. The safest, probably not. Come on, live on the edge. All right. Well, the offer stands. I will even leave the snacks for you. I'm so sweet.

Jake: Thank you.

Amanda: All right. It was nice to meet you, Tyler. Bye, handsome.

Taylor: Taylor.

Jake: Bye.

Taylor: So, that's your girlfriend -- as in, a girl that you like? What happened to Aidan?

Jake: Her name is Amanda. She's not my girlfriend. And Aidan was just my roommate for about 10 minutes. Wait a second. Wait a second.

Taylor: See, now you're thinking what I thought.

Jake: You think I'm gay? Do -- you think I'm gay.

Taylor: Hey, Aidan, sweetheart, I get it. You're in love.

Jake: This is fantastic. So when she came in with her welcome booty, you think --

Taylor: That's what you're calling it now? Whoo!

Jake: Listen, I'll tell you something. If it's a problem that I'm here because I'm a guy that doesn't like guys, then just let me know because I have other places that I can stay. I can stay on a boat. It's a yacht. It's actually a yacht. Did you hear her?

Taylor: Go ahead, stud. Go right ahead. Unless, of course, you really do miss Aidan.

Jake: I'm just tired and have an early call in the morning and I just would really -- i just want some sleep.

Taylor: Just stay. It's no big deal, seriously. I'm used to hanging with the guys.

Jake: What, in the men's locker room?

Taylor: Not exactly. [Unzips a bag to reveal her military uniform]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taylor: Not exactly my "run to the supermarket" outfit, huh?

Jake: You're retired?

Taylor: No, I'm on leave. I'm just waiting for my redeployment papers so I can get back to Iraq.

Jake: You know Frankie Hubbard?

Taylor: I do know Frankie Hubbard. He's the reason I landed here.

Jake: Yeah? Well, don't take him back with you.

Taylor: Would that be such a bad thing?

Jake: Yeah. I mean, he's done his time, you know?

Taylor: Well, it's not a prison sentence. Come on, doc, you know how it is. You do your service, we do ours.

Jake: Let me tell you something. Doctors without borders is nothing like the army.

Taylor: Does Frankie know that you have an ax to grind?

Jake: No, I respect Frankie. I think he is a healer and he's got his priorities straight.

Taylor: As opposed to this thug who's bent on world domination? I'll try not to be offended. And, hey, don't worry, doc. We protect those who can't or won't protect themselves, even guys like you. Lights out. I'm going to have to go change in the men's locker room. And I call the couch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Taylor moans in her sleep.]
Taylor: Come on. Stand down. Stand down.

8/26 ~ Moving Day

What an entertaining episode! Jake and Taylor find themselves moving into the same apartment. Jake says Taylor can have it, but she lets him spend the night. Taylor still believes Jake is gay until Amanda stops by briefly - making for some very funny scenes. They had more banter surrounding the gayness, which had me cracking up so much. For the first time they reminded me of Gus & Harley; obviously that magic is still there. Jake and Taylor learned more about each other, and their political issues finally surfaced. I'm excited about them fighting about the war since that's suppose to be the core of their story. During the night, Taylor was dreaming unpleasantly, and Jake took notice.

Taylor (thinking): This check-up is really putting me to sleep.

Jake (thinking): Oh man, it's happening again... I'm putting another patient to sleep. Damn these massage hands! Wait, I'm suppose to be checking for pain. Dammit!

Caption...8/14

For those who don't know a "Caption This" is when you make up your own lines/dialogue for a goofy or weird-looking picture. You can have the characters say whatever you want them to say. Or they could be thinking something. They don't have to say or think funny things. It's just whatever you think they should be saying or thinking.

From my experience "Caption This" are fun, and some websites have them as weekly contests for people to come up with the funniest dialogue. For this blog I don't expect to get many responses, so there won't be any contests. This is just something fun to do, and I'll be presenting my own dialogue. Please do feel free to share your own.

For this first one I'm using a perfect-quality photo from this entry: Photos of Jake & Taylor's 1st Scenes.

CAPTION THIS


Taylor (thinking): This guy looks awfully cute. Why does it feel like I've seen him before?

Jake: I'm not hitting on you, I swear. But do I know you from somewhere? You look so familiar.

That's obviously a nod to Ricky and Beth being on Guiding Light as the popular couple Gus & Harley. Of course they knew each other extremely well as those characters. They were married, after all. :)

Taylor: Hi, I'm looking for Dr. Franklin Hubbard.

Nurse: Are you a patient of his?

Taylor: No, just a friend, but he's been after me to have my foot checked out, so...

Nurse: His shift hasn't started yet. I can get another doctor.

Taylor: No, no, thanks. I'll just wait.

[She sits down out of Jake's sight & listens to him as he talks to the nurse and on the phone to Aiden.]

Jake: Hey.

Nurse: Hey, Dr. Martin.

Jake: Who's next?

Nurse: Dr. Martin, your shift ended an hour ago. Go home.

Jake: I can't. My roommate kicked me out. I'm homeless, I'm homeless.

[Phone rings]

Jake: I'm a homeless doctor.

Nurse (answering the phone): E.R. He's right here.

Nurse: Aidan Devane, sexy accent.

Jake: You should see the rest of him. He's shredded. Hello, sweetheart. Mm-hmm, well, of course I'm still going to call you sweetheart just because I'm living alone and I got no place to go. Yeah. No, I'm not angry. People fall in love. They fall in love. I mean, listen, can you do me a favor? I left a box of my stuff in your bedroom. Maybe you could drop it off at the hospital. Is that asking too much? Right at the front desk. Yeah. Well, there won't be any awkward moments. Do we still get to work out together? Uh-huh. I can call you if I'm lonely? Good. All right. I miss you, too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nurse: Foot exam, right?

Taylor: That's me.

Nurse: The doctor can see you now. Cubicle one.

Taylor: Thank you.

Nurse: You can wait right here.

Jake: Taylor?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jake: Oh, I didn't recognize you because you weren't running off someplace and you're sitting still, so --

Taylor: You didn't recognize me because your usually behind me trying to catch up.

Jake: Yes, that was a great race, but I was going easy on you and, uh, let's put it this way. If it ever happened again, i would annihilate you.

Taylor: Only because I gave you a head start.

Jake: Well, you're the one who's going to get a head start next time because your foot hurts.

Taylor: My foot is fine. I'm just trying to get this friend of mine off my back.

Jake: Okay, so, let's, if you don't mind, so, you've been putting in how many miles a week would you say?

Taylor: I don't know. A lot, I guess.

Jake: Mm-hmm, and is it mostly outdoors?

Taylor: Treadmills are for babies.

Jake: I only use a treadmill.

Taylor: Well, that explains a lot. Give me a dirt road anytime. Give me a dirt road with a muddy, rocky -- give me a muddy, rocky dirt road out in the pouring rain --

Jake: Yeah, we get that you like dirt roads and they're muddy and they're horrible, the roads. I'm saying what if, what if you were to take your workout inside? A little less impact, cuter guys.

Taylor: I'm sure there are, but I like to workout alone, thank you.

Jake: I can tell, because every time I see you working out you're alone. And by the way, when I ran into you that time I was not trying to hit on you or anything like --

Taylor: Oh, yeah, about that.

Jake: I'm just not that type, I--

Taylor: I am so sorry about that. I mean, I didn't understand then, but I understand now.

Jake: Oh, you understand, okay? Okay, um, well, shall we get going with the exam-patient -- are you comfortable with -- I mean, because some women like a female doctor to examine them.

Taylor: It's cool. You want me to take all my clothes off?

Jake: No, no, no. No, just roll up the -- roll up your pants -- would be just fine. Okay, are you comfortable?

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Jake: Okay, I'm going to press on just little different parts of your foot to see if there's any pain, okay? We're going to start at the top.

Taylor: No.

Jake: No, nothing? Anything now?

Taylor: Nope.

Jake: So, dirt roads, huh? Rocky, dirty, smelly, rainy, wet roads.

Taylor: Yes.

Jake: Where you're drenched. That sounds nice. It sounds hard, sounds tough.

Taylor: Yes, sir, it is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Taylor cries out in pain.]

Jake: Okay, plantar fasciitis, or plantar fasciitis. Some doctors say -- either way, it's got two I's, it's difficult for us because -- but this is where the fascia is attached to the calcaneous.

Taylor: The what, what, what, what is that?

Jake: The calcaneous, the calcaneous, that's the heel bone.

Taylor: Just, just, just show me.

Jake: No problem, I'm showing you. Right at the top of this right here, the heel pad, right there at the calcaneous. If I were to touch this right here, if I were to touch this, it would feel like a nail going right through --

Taylor: Well, it wasn't quite that bad.

Jake: Well, I know exactly what it is because I've had the same thing, okay? I've experienced the same exact -- it's right here.

Taylor: Okay, so what, what you're saying is I will feel bad if anyone should touch me on the -- what's that called?

Jake: The calcaneous.

Taylor: The calcaneous.

Jake: I'm also afraid that your ligament is all, you know, swollen.

Taylor: But that's the spot. That's the one spot that I have to worry about, right there?

Jake: Yes, all you have to worry about, yes, and if you don't worry about it it could become chronic. If it becomes chronic, you could need surgery. And if you need surgery, well nobody wants surgery, so --

Taylor: I get, I get it.

Jake: So, all I want to do is put you on some anti-inflammatories for about a week or two, okay?

Taylor: Okay.

Jake: All right. So, if you want to put your shoes on, we can walk right out of here.

Jake: Mandatory two weeks and that's perfect. Cici, did a guy drop off a box for me?

Cici: A hottie.

Jake: Oh, yeah, well, he's spoken for. Here you go. No generics. You got it? Well, you could use a generic if you wanted to, but well, it doesn't really matter, it's all just --

Taylor: Thanks.

Jake: Okay, and I just want you to watch out for it because I -- I'd like a rematch someday, if that's all right.

Taylor: Thanks, Dr. Jake. It'll get better.

Jake: Awkward.

8/21 ~ Time For A Check-Up

The running is OVER! Yay, LOL!

Taylor needed her left foot to be checked out at the hospital. While waiting, she overheard a phone conversation Jake was having with Aiden. Now she believes Jake is gay, haha! I cracked so much up during that phone call. So, thanks to her belief Taylor let her guard down and was nice to Jake as he examined her. It was a very lovely interaction between them. I'm so happy that Jake was the one to check her out. I can't wait for more Jake and Taylor!

Afterwards, Taylor faked her exam at a military hospital and Jake met up with Amanda at ConFusion. I believe that Taylor won't think Jake is gay for very long. She'll see Jake with Amanda and learn her assumption is wrong.

AMC Fan Club Luncheon

Both Ricky & Beth were there! It was held at the Mariot Marquis Hotel in New York City on August 17. You can find three sets of tons of photos here: http://www.digitalrailroad.net/suecoflin/Default.aspx.

And here are some Ricky & Beth pictures:

SoapZone.com ~ August 18, 2008

This is taken from SoapZone's AMC News & Gossip for this week:

Ricky Paull Goldin (Jake; ex-Gus, GL) likened his introductory scenes with friend/acting colleague Beth Ehlers (Taylor; ex-Harley, GL) as that of two fighter pilots dealing with a brand-new jet, feeling the other out, making new memories as new characters. They've been together off and on, on GL, for so many years that they could probably do scenes anywhere in their sleep. But that's not who these actors are; they love the challenge and they enjoy inventing, forging, the whole creative endeavor. Their first AMC scenes were filmed on location in Port Washington, Long Island, as the two "jogged all over that freakin' island!" Goldin remarked. Jake tries to suggest an improvement in Taylor's jogging technique, and Taylor misinterprets his suggestion for a suggestive romp and flatly turns him down. He's left staring down at his crotch after she leaves him with a double-entendre. Very impressive for their first time, which is probably what Goldin likes to hear, 'cause shooting it felt strange to him. "We don't even know these characters at this point, so we're discovering all kinds of new things as we go," he said.

8/15 ~ Taylor & The Hubbards

I really enjoyed these scenes. The weirdness went away. I like Taylor being friends with Frankie, but they should stay friends. I loved learning more about her and her background. And the girl has dimensions; there's more than just toughness and war about her. She is definitely hiding something about her time in Iraq. She has a secret pain just like Jake does. I can't wait to see what happens next with her and how she stays put in Pine Valley.

Jake: Hey, you found my favorite beach. Thank you for stopping.

Taylor: It's Jake, right?

Jake: Yes, thank you for remembering.

Taylor: Can I help you with something?

Jake: Well, it's actually me, I think that I can help you.

Taylor: I didn't realize I had a problem.

Jake: Oh, yeah, you do, you have a -- you have a problem. You're over-striding.

Taylor: I'm over-striding?

Jake: Yeah, I know this might sound a little cheesy, but I'm a doctor. No, I am and what you have is a classic case of over-striding. Oh, it can lead to terribly, you know, painful things. You know, issues like Achilles tendonitis, ITB pain, knees, back, hips, well, everything ends up in the hips. Not your hips.

Taylor: Wow.

Jake: Yes, wow.

Taylor: So, this is your thing?

Jake: What's my thing?

Taylor: You're the uh, "I'm a doctor." I mean, what are you going to do, whip out your stethoscope now? Should I be impressed?

Jake: Oh, no, no, no, no, I wasn't trying to --

Taylor: Ok, that's good.

Jake: But I am a doctor.

Taylor: Well, then you might want to tuck your stethoscope back in.

Jake: Really?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jake: Hey.

Taylor: Here he comes again.

Jake: You know what? It's not your stride. It's the fact that you are favoring your right foot. I bet you anything that you once had some sort of injury or something to your left foot.

Taylor: Would you do me a favor and just try to keep your eyes right here, ok? Instead of checking out the rest.

Jake: No, no, no, no, no, no. I promise you, I was only focused on your feet, that's how I --

Taylor: Right, and my hips and my ITB and everything else --

Jake: No, I was just saying the thing about your feet --

Taylor: Well, I'm just leaving.

Jake: Wait a second, wait, wait. I'm not trying to hit on you, or any --

Taylor: Really?

Jake: No, I'm not.

Taylor: Just casually observing?

Jake: I promise. What's your name? You got a name?

Taylor: I do have a name.

Jake: Wow, ok. How about I race you for it?

Taylor: You want to race?

Jake: Yeah.

Taylor: To hear my name?

Jake: Uh-huh.

Taylor: Where to?

Jake: That tree.

Taylor: You'll lose.

Jake: Really, ok, well, we'll see about that. On three, ok?

Taylor: Yep, on three.

Jake: One, two, three.

Taylor: Whoo! Even with the gimpy left foot and the bad hips.

Jake: You're training for something, aren't you? Iron man --

Taylor: No.

Jake: Something?

Taylor: No, I told you. I just like to run.

Jake: Well, I can tell.

Taylor: Well, thanks for the race, dr. Jake.

Jake: Yeah, anytime.

Taylor: Taylor.

Jake: Anytime, Taylor.

Taylor: Just Taylor.

[Knock at door]

Angie: Oh. So you decided to come back, did -- oh, I'm sorry. Can I help you?

Taylor: Yes, ma'am, I'm looking for Franklin Hubbard.

Angie: Of course. Uh, Franklin? There's someone here to see you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taylor: Hi, Hubb.

Frankie: L.T.

Taylor: How are you?

Frankie: Oh.

Taylor: Did you miss me?

Frankie: Like shrapnel to the head. Look at you.

8/14 ~ Race To Romance

For a third time they're running in the woods and on the beach. BUT this time there is more dialogue and some banter! Let's all shriek with delight! The chemistry between Ricky and Beth was spot on! I hope regular AMC viewers saw it too and enjoyed these scenes. I love these scenes; they have me excited for what's to come. And there's also a brief scene of Taylor with Jesse, Angie, and Frankie - with whom she served in Iraq. It was weird to see her with other characters and even weirder to witness the obvious friendship she has with Frankie. But you've gotta admit it's a relief to finally see her branch out to the rest of AMC's cast and not running, lol.

The Ricky & Beth Reality Hour Continues...

LOL, here is yet another Soapnet.com video of Ricky and Beth discussing their new AMC characters! I got this from The Beth Ehlers Board: http://thebethehlersboard.yuku.com/topic/568.



We fans think there should be a Beth and Ricky reality show. It would be very entertaining!

8/7 ~ The 2nd Collision

Yesterday was Taylor's second appearance, and Jake tried talking to her. We learned very little about her, and she didn't seem too interested in Jake. He introduced himself, but she was running late for something. She politely brushed him off without introducing herself. Zero score for him today. We'll have to see what happens next; maybe she'll give him a chance and they'll finally connect on some level.

Here are the two scenes one right after the other via YouTube. Credit goes to RoseVioletDaisy. NOT ME!

8/7 Transcript

Jake and Taylor ran into each other for the second time. This time not so literally. They were just running side by side, and then Jake caught up with her at the beach. They had two VERY brief scenes as transcribed here:

Jake: Nice pace.

Taylor: What?

Jake: I said it was an impressive pace.

Taylor: Oh, thanks. I like to stay in shape.

Jake: Yeah. Well, it shows. It's nice to see I'm not the only crazy person that doesn't mind the sticky heat, you know?

Taylor: Yeah. Well, you get used to it. Hey, I like to double-time my last couple of miles.

Jake: Yeah, sure.

Taylor: I'll see you.



Jake: Hey. It was a nice sprint.

Taylor: Yeah.

Jake: Monitoring your heart?

Taylor: Yeah.

Jake: Training?

Taylor: No, just running. And now, actually I'm running late. Excuse me.

Jake: I just wanted to introduce myself. Jake.

Taylor: Have a nice day.

We learned a little about Taylor, and that'll have to do until her next appearance. I know for sure she'll be on next Thursday with Jake (yet ANOTHER run-in). AMC is sure taking this slow. Hopefully the pace will pick up more.

At the moment clips of the two scenes are not yet available. If they are tomorrow, I'll definitely post them. Any later...I can't until I return from my week-long vacation.

Another SoapNet.com Video

This goes with the last interview I posted. Again, they're talking about her first days on AMC while being funny & cute. And it sounds like it's just Taylor interacting with Jake for a little while as they keep bumping or running into each other. In this one you can tell how close Ricky and Beth are because they're finishing each other's sentences.
