I have nothing against her as a person or an actress but I can't stand the character. She's the biggest sanctimonious hypocrite on the show.

Totally agree with you, I did like her first time around as Dixie but since then NO NO she jumps from one soap to another. I do not understand why the shows keep taking her back. Everyone knows she only stays for a few months then quits.

ICAM, the way these returns of vets are being done, particularly Dixie, is a big turnoff to me. It doesn't make me want to tune in or tape the show. In fact, it makes me less inclined to catch it. Watching the noon news or B&B is more interesting.I'm tired, in general, of seeing vets' returns being hyped & then the final product falling far short of what it could/should be. I've said it before, Tad was a ruined character the moment he came back from the dead & there hasn't been any improvement in the yrs since. Dixie's last return(s) haven't been anything more than anti-climactic either. They certainly haven't been what they could/should have been!
This issue has been a problem far longer than one or two HWs or EPs. It has been consistant for almost 20 yrs--which is the real shame & only proves that the problems come from much higher up. It also isn't just an AMC problem, so blaming it on one or two HWs & EPs doesn't make sense. What IS consistant is the Corp. mindset, whether or not Frons is the 'head of daytime' or not--since these problems have existed long before he was hired for that position. GH is having a very similar problem w/the return(s) of beloved characters, like Anna & Robert. It isn't just insulting to the actors, but to the audience & the writers--most of whom are capable of far better.

Don't care only because of the way this is being done. I don't want a dead Dixie, I want a Tad and Dixie and Kate! Sorry PTB, but this is not enticing me to watch again.

I'm not thrilled to see her back tormenting Adam. I like Dixie years ago, but in the last few years, something soured. Maybe it's the way she treated Tad while throwing herself at Zach, who was married.

I don't *don't care* nor am I thrilled, either. After seeing her on today's show, I'm kinda liking the idea of Ghost Dixie, especially, the giving Adam a storyline, part. And this return seems far better than her last -- for one thing, no lurking. (That's a real plus.) There's potential for some entertaining stuff, here -- especially if she follows through on Adam's dare concerning an army of zombies! Can she do that? Be still my heart!
Less than fond of the maniacal laugh, though. I'd like to see her more sardonic and less cartoonish.

I agree she's very cartoonish, and not in a good way. I do hope we get an army of zombies, with Edmund leading the whole pack of them.
...that's the ticket, Cookie! Eddie, with Simone and Roger and an extra-creepy Erin close behind! All of 'em doing the Thriller dance routine. Yessss....buddz:::clapping hands gleefully:::

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I'm THRILLED that she's back, and I'm grateful to Cady for agreeing to return to right a wrong. I read her blog all the time, and think she's nothing but a class act.

It was fun having Dixie back to taunt Adam. I didn't care for the Dixie character that much but always felt Cady Mc was a great actress. I don't watch ATWT so can't really vouch for her there.

She was horrible on ATWT, but, I'm biased against her.From reading the ATWT boards, though, no one was sorry to see her go.

I liked the "Original" character and actress who played "Dixie" and that was not Cady. The original character was a barefoot backwoods "Tammy" character who came to the big city from Pigeon Holler with her brother in hopes that their uncle Pete would take care of them after their mother died. Cady came and destroyed that image, became some kind of horney debutant wine expert, and got too big in the head for Tad. I was glad when AMC lost the actress and the [false] character. Maybe she can go on "Dead like Me".!

I thought Cady always played Dixie.
Nope, Cady played Dixie the longest, but she wasn't the first

Never really cared for Dixie but then didn't hate her. She just seems to be so self absorbed and thinks that she always knows what is best for everyone.

Self absorbed is the perfect description of her.

I don't care for the character of Dixie. She was always going after Brooke's husbands and that turned me against the character. Dixie was certainly no angel like JR likes to think she was. She was NOT so great. JR needs a jolt of reality and so does Tad.

JR and Tad have neede a jolt of reality for a long time. The only one it seems that gets all the jolts is Adam.

I liked Dixie in the old days, but I certainly didn't like her this last time. She was sneaking around for weeks and then trying to suduce Zach knowing he was married to Kendall. She knew her son was suffering but didn't come out and tell him she was alive, I didn't like her I'm perfect, poor little helpless me act either.

Love Dixie, and very grateful to Cady for coming back for the fans and to do the Kate story justice.
She never badmouthed ANYONE on her blog.
Replies: (list all replies)
I beg to differ. I've read her blog so I'm not making it up. She talked trash about how she didn't like her SL on AMC and trashed ATWT for firing Hunt Block. You may not consider it in poor form, but I do. She bit the hand that fed her while she was still employeed by each of the respective soaps. I don't respect someone lke that who tells tales out of school and is a whiner. I know there are plenty of times where I don't like something going on in my workplace and I don't go behind my employers back and complain about to strangers. Everytime she doesn't like the way Dixie or Rosanna was written or if she didn't like the costar she was paired up with, she'd blog about it and the next thing you know she was gone. She gets paid a huge salary to act, not to complain. Everyone else is able to rise above it, but not her. She has to whine, complain and quit. She goes back and forth between the two soaps and she stinks on both of them. As far as I'm concerned she can stay away. The shows go on without her and they do just fine. At this point she's not necessary. Just because you're a fan doesn't mean I have to be. If you noticed, I asked if anyone else felt the same as I did. You've posted ad nauseam about how thrilled you are with her return. That's you not me. I don't care for her or her characters, I don't care for her whining and complaining. She's a diva in her own mind. So, you like her, what do you want from me?
Fairness? There are plenty of actors who, as you put it, whine to the magazines publically about their storylines. Do you hate them too because of this? And I don't consider what Cady has said 'trashing' a show at all. She encouraged people to continue to watch AMC once fired, and said very nice things about everyone there. I don't think I'm reading the same blog you are, yet I read hers all the time. Apologizing because a storyline wasn't well received, or being upset because a friend was fired is normal, IMHO. Not diva-like behavior. eom--Claudine
I just don't think Cady is all that , either as a person or as an actress. I see her and read her as one way, you see her and read her another. You can talk her up and make excuses for her until the cows come home, it won't change my mind about her, and it's nothing for you to get upset about. I'm sure there are plenty of actors and actresses that I like and you don't. That's life.
So, you like her, what do you want from me? - My guess would be the opportunity to state a different opinion and not insulted or attacked. eom/ky
Thank you, ky. That's exactly it. Everyone can post under every thread. I didn't insult or belittle the 'anti' opinion, just stated my own. Didn't get the reaction here, though. Odd. eom--Claudine
Sorry to bugger in on this one--but if the thread title implies that it's an anti-ANYTHING thread--why would a supporter post in? Just seems like trying to incite something. Eom
Not only does it happen ALL the time but there is also no rule against it. I just find it very strange that such venom was employed when the conflicting opinion did not seem hostile in any way to me. There could be history that I am not aware of but from an outsiders view - it seemed uncalled for. eom/ky
No history that I'm aware of, but on the other end, Cookie seems to know my history! LOL eom--Claudine
What are you talking about Claudine? What an ego to think I know anything about your history. There could not have been any doubt as to what my topic was about, yet you went in at your own risk and posted. You tell me I'm unfair because I don't perceive Cady the same way you do, as if yours is the only opinion that is the correct one. Why ky is involved trying to figure out if I have something against Claudine and accusing me of being insulting. It's not about me or Claudine or ky. I asked if other people felt as I did about not liking Cady or Dixie. What did Claudine expect? That her post would miraculously make me chance my mind? I answered Claudine only about Cady/Dixie. She was the one who had to answer back by questioning my fairness and making it personal.
Oh come on Cookie. What was said and how it was said is still posted above. BTW - No one expects to change other's mind when they post an opposite opinion and it never happens. It's only a matter of free speech and being able to voice support for a favorite. I know for a fact that Claudine is far from the only who supports their favorite in a negative post about their favorite. It happens to me everytime I post something negative about Kendall. As long as no one is accusing me of spouting *ad nauseam* it is not a problem. eom/ky
Another ''outsider'' responding. To me, Cookie's response to Claudine was an attack. ''So you've posted ad nauseum'' seems to me that you DO know something about Claudine's history. So what if she posted a response to your topic? She replied by giving HER opinion, and was not insulting, nor was she personally attacking you, the way you attacked Claudine in your response above. As for posters coming in to respond to a negative topic, what of it? I've seen it done all the time. Does putting up a negative OR a positive topic mean people with differing opinions should just stay quiet? That would be a new one to me, since all positive and negative topics ALWAYS have pro and con responses. DxB's topic below is just another example of that. eom/EG
Thanks again, ky... but best to leave this alone. And EG, that's the line that I took as personal attack... simply because I haven't even been on this site much... so how do I post here ad nauseum about Dixie? Not in years. eom--Claudine
You are welcome Claudine and I AM done. Just read an entirely different perspective on posting difference of opinions by Cookie in DBs post below. So now I am confused and tired. eom/ky
Oh Please. Give it up. Claudine is no angel and the past week or so, in anticipation of Cady's return, she's been posting ad nauseam about it. How's that an insult?It's the truth. And don't play that *I know about Claudine's history* cr@p with me. Anyone even casually skimming just the topic headlines over the past couple of weeks could see who was posting what and what the posts were about. Claudine was bent out of shape because I dared to not like Cady or Dixie. She was the one who attacked me by questioning my *fairness* and whether I *hated* other actors who complain. She made it personal, not me. And don't lecture me on posting in negative/positive topics. I never said she couldn't, but she shouldn't act so defensive when posting a positive comment in a clearly labeled negative topic asking if others felt the same way. So save your outrage. There's been some real nasty attacks here from people not agreeing, not the made up one like your playing out here. If you think Claudine was attacked then grow some thicker skin. She wasn't even grazed.
Cookie, I did feel you attacked me personally... and first, and I still haven't hit back, as it were. But I will leave you here now... to continue typing to yourself. I think your comments were totally uncalled for. I don't care who you like or don't, just respect other posters enough to allow THEM a difference of opinion. eom-Claudine
So this is something else we disagree on. Whatever. It's certainly not the end of the world for me.

I don't like Dixie, and haven't for a very, very, long time. So, no...I don't really care that she is back. But, it may make some very good scenes for my dear DC/Adam...so that's good!!
