GCB: Amanda, Amanda, Dear Sweet Amanda!
This past weekend was a double douse of the “GCB” and I loved every minute of it! Eric Winter (“Days” and “Brothers and Sisters”) has joined as Carlene’s brother, and new love interest for Amanda. This of course has sent Carlene into frenzy mode.
A lot has been going on down in Dallas. Carlene’s Uncle’s bitter wife died, and now he’s proposed to Gigi. At first she didn’t want to give up her independence, but eventually said yes because she loves him, and he had another health scare which shook her up. I don’t see this story ending happily ever after though. I think Gigi is too independent, they can’t have her married and moving in with someone else right now. Plus Bruce Boxleitner has only been billed as a guest star so far.
I liked seeing a bit more of Zach and Sharon in the latest episodes. Sharon’s new “Jesus Diet” business is hilarious, but I sure wouldn’t want to eat some of that food she’s making!
I thought Carlene’s wedding vow renwals were ridiculous. I would have rather seen the “Star Wars” wedding that was referenced in the show by Cricket.
Cricket and Blake trying to have a baby was hilarious, especially when they had the bad reaction to the “horny pills” he got for them. Then of course Spartacus making them both hot and bothered was great!
I can’t wait for tonight’s episode where we get to see Cricket (Miriam Shor) sing . . . and beat out Carlene for the lead in the church play. Carlene is going to fume! I am assuming this happens simply from the photos from the episode.
They teased so many episodes ago that Amanda’s husband may still be alive. Was it just Ripp and Carlene’s hopefulness? Amanda seems to think he’s dead. However I could see him returning and putting a crimp in Amanda’s new relationship.
