Topic: That Dr David Heyward...He Sure Is a Devil, Isn't He??? ;-)

OK, I know this is being talked about all over the Boards today but i just had to say that I just loved it.

I originally thought when I heard the were going to do he whole ''Purgatory/Devil'' Thing that it would be Zach-Devil....

Or maybe Stuart would come in as a Sweater-Clad Angel.

But, when I saw David sittin gthere, goatee and pitchfork close to hand, it just seemed soooooooooooooo...PERFECT! ;)

VI was brilliant.

DC was beyond brilliant.

And using Annie was a surprise (I thought it would be Stuart) but touching...not only have they telegrapped to the audience that mayhaps Annie has changed and really sincerely does love Adam (which in the last 2 weeks seems to be the case) but, I thought to myself, it shows that we never know where our angels will come from.

PS: I meant to say that with Adam and Annie we get a message of the possibility of redemption...and the promise of hope...I was very touched by this. I thought it was uplifting..as well as a whole lot of fun with VI as the Devil!! LOL--SORAS

Lies, manipulation and deception are NEVER a good way to start off a marriage, no matter the reasons. I see Adam’s angel as not what she appears to be to him.

Loved it!!  David as the devil in red was fabulous and Adam was outstanding.  (VI) David's voice even sounded different; he really showed off his acting skills.  The only ruination of the scene was the appearance of lying Annie as an Angel. GG... whatever could they have been thinking?  Her appearance was definitely out of place (stuck out like a sore thumb) in an otherwise memorable AMC scene.

Liar Annie was the angel because it was Adam’s purgatory, and HE sees her as his angel. I would have preferred those scenes with only David and Adam.

Compared to the other creeps, Annie has finally become an angel. /goldie

what would have been the point if it were just adam and the devil. Adam needed an alternative path. Annie is his Angel, so it was fitting.

The angel wasn't lying. Annie IS pregnant.

Adam and Stuart had a sister they loved dearly. I cannot think of her name right now - but she would have been more appropriate for the angel. I can barely tolerate the character of Kendull but even she would have made more sense as the angel - she could have encouraged him to do the right thing and let her be with her 2 small children. And to the anonymous poster who used a blank name - Annie has been lying for months about numerous things and pressuring her small daughter to also lie and keep secrets. I do not have space to list all her lies but what about the fact she knows Kendall did not kill Stuart? eom NiteOwl

I agree, it was wonderful. The back hair and red suit really came across. We don't call him devilishly handsome Dave for nothing.

Oh, I thought his name was Doctor Devil Haywired

He was so Freudian yet spot on as the devil! That suit couldn't be redder and his hair and moustache just added to the entertainment of the scenes. Bet he and David Canary had a hoot of a time.

I concur with MCE that VI was brilliant today; David/Adam scenes are GOLD! :) I also loved the line "please allow me to introduce myself ... yes indeed, I'll always have "sympathy for the devil" David! :)
