I want to start off by saying that AMC has been a favorite of mine since I was 5 years old. I grew up watching this show with my mom and growing up as a gay kid, I never had anyone to really look up too. Then there came Bianca Montgomery, Erica Kane’s lesbian daughter, and I was one happy camper! But my happiness faded and continues to fade as they progress the character further.

Let me just say, that this will never be an attack on the actress who plays Bianca, Eden Riegel, who I respect and admire as an actress. This blog is indicative to the writers of this once wonderful soap opera.

Eden came onto the scene in 2000, in which her character then proceeded to come out of the closet. She had her first girlfriend, Sarah. Sarah left Bianca for a man. She just decided that she couldn’t be gay went off and got married.

Then there was Frankie! Frankie, loved Bianca, Frankie then cheated on Bianca with JR, then Frankie was killed off!

Then there was Maggie, Maggie was straight, Bianca fell for her, Maggie put Binx in check and told her that they could never be together.

Then there was Lena. Lena came into town sleeping with the man who rapped Bianca, then proceeded to tell Bianca she loved her, then moved to Poland, then broke up with Binx over the phone!!!!

Then there was Maggie again. Maggie, Maggie, Maggie! Maggie was dating an abuse man, Bianca realized that she had always been in love with Maggie, Maggie denied her feelings, Maggie then didn’t deny her feelings, then Maggie denied her feelings again, then she didn’t, then they moved to pairs together, then Maggie cheated on Bianca, then Bianca came back to Pinevalley, Maggie followed, was sorry, Bianca denied that and it was over.

And now there is Reese, Bianca’s fiancé. Reese is now confused about her feelings, she’s in love with Bianca, but has feelings for Bianca Brother in law, Zach! See, now Bianca was suppose to come back and this relationship was suppose to be this ground breaking story and they were suppose to get married, it was suppose to be the first lesbian wedding in daytime, and yada, yada, yada.

GROUND BREAKING STORY MY ASS!!!!!!!

All we have gotten is the same fucking bullshit we always get, that a lesbian relationship can’t be left alone without a man being involved. THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. In real life Lesbians CAN have fully committed, loving relationships with a person of the same gender and it is not interfered with by a man.

AND…..

Here is a wonderful concept for you idiots to grasp. Us lesbians, ARE perfectly CAPABLE of having a FRIENDSHIP with a MAN WITHOUT having any romantic feelings for said man WHATSOEVER!!!! We can just be friends you know. And I don’t know what the hell kind of crap the writers at ABC and AMC are trying to pull, but its offensive!!!! It makes me swear profusely, and upsets me muchly to the point where I have deleted the damn show from my DVR and refuse to watch EVER again!!! Way to go morons! You just lost one viewer, and ill be my left kidney that you will loose more given the fact that the recent spoilers have Reese kissing Zach.

I’m telling you, just once I wish someone would do a lesbian storyline justice. I have loved AMC since I was a little kid I am 26 now, and have sworn it off. Its sad really, made me cry. But I cannot watch a show that promises me, a happy lesbian storyline and then turns it into crap. Every damn girlfriend Bianca had has hurt her over a guy and its pretty disgusting really.

On that sour note, I am going to go.

Goodbye AMC forever this time!
