Additional Comments:

First of all, they really need to make Marissa the one that killed Dixie while trying to kill Babe...then, JR could be married to the woman that tried to kill his wife but ended up killing his mother.

Second, Emma's line to Ryan, "You're in love with Erica" would have sounded better if it had been, "You're in love with Spike's grandmother?"

Missed opportunity.

Several posters have said since Day 1 of Marissa's appearance that there is something shady about her, and ICAM. Something is more than likely about to surface. They had this shotgun wedding for a reason. Either Marissa is not who she appears to be on the surface or Babe is still alive. Babe could be the one Nurse Gail is with and everyone just assumes it is Greenlee since R. Budig is returning.

Marisa is such a waste of what could have been a great character, instead of her being the simpleton that she is and another dumb wife for JR she could have been smart and savvy, a real daughter to David, together they could have been a power to reckon with. Then she would have been an interesting woman not a mealy mouth little mouse. They could still save her by making her the killer of Dixie and that she is just pretending to be the way she is. She would never go to prison for the murder, Jesse could blame it on Annie, Zach, Erica and Ryan would be glad to help.

I'm in favor of anything that would rid our screen of Marissa.  If they don't get rid of the character, could they please please please recast her.

I've been saying Marissa needs to be the killer from pretty much day 1 of her being on the show.  I don't understand how we (mere viewers...HA) can come up with that stuff and the writers can't.  I understand it has to be challenging to juggle all those story lines with a new script practically every day, but COME ON.

I agree with the others; excellent ideas! Also, instead of Ryan calling Annie's bluff, I think it would have been fun to watch Annie move in there and put the damper on Erica and Ryan.

 Mr. M...you would be a great writer for the show. Great idea about Marissa. That would of been so funny if Emma said that.

  • Sorry, can't take credit...Others have posted this idea. I was just pretty much agreeing that it would be a great plot device. Mr. M

    Marissa as Dixie's killer would certainly be a wonderful plot twist.  We all ought to bash Pratt over the head with a shovel in the Wildwind stables, lol, and while he's unconscious, present  your much better storyline to TPTB!

    Mr. M, if I storm the AMC offices and hold all the writers hostage, will you rush in and rewrite all their misguided claptrap? Your JR-Marissa storyline would be infinitely more interesting than the schmaltz we're watching now!
