Dixie’s haunting of AMC’s Adam laughable
I hate to put a damper on Cady McClain’s return to All My Children, but why in blazes does AMC insist on making her more goofy than ghostly?
I mean, seriously. Er, or not.
I guess it makes sense that Dixie would get a kick out of haunting Adam, of all people. And, really, I could watch David Canary play any story line. (Heck, he even makes Krystal tolerable for me, and that’s saying a lot.)
But as I’m watching Dixie making cuckoo faces and laughing shrilly, I have to wonder: Would we, as viewers, still have wanted a Dixie return if we knew it was going to look like this?
Something tells me no.
I want to be thrilled to see Cady back on my screen. I do. Most of the time I am. I just wish they’d get to the part that really matters: Kate.
The one saving grace (apropos, no?) to this is that Tad (Michael E. Knight) will finally learn that Julia’s ward, Kathy, is really his and Dixie’s long-lost daughter. And Dixie will be instrumental in the reunion.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it seems more than fitting.
So although I’m cringing a bit at Dixie’s over-the-top haunting of Adam, I know that in the end AMC will have righted at least one wrong.
Kate will finally be where she belongs.
