121. I love All My Children and this was a very informative episode.
I reallly look forward to seeing what will happen to Zoe.
She is so sweet.

123. Regarding the mom who is outraged that this storyline is on, while she has 3 young kids, so she switched to Y&R. Letting any young kids watch a soap opera is the epitome of being a poor mother. At least AMC is trying to open people's minds.

Pity that woman's kids.

124. I have watched AMC avidly for most of my life...my Mother has always been a big fan...I am not impressed with the Zarf/Zoe storyline...I do like the actor...I enjoyed his wild side as a rocker...I think he plays the part well...I am just not interested in the whole transgender drama...I watch the show to be entertained/not educated...there is a huge difference....mindless entertainment...is what they used to call soaps...why do they have to take up causes...and issues....where is all the bed hopping...and meaningless sex...us bored housewives are supposed to be enjoying...Now we are submitted to counseling group sessions for transgenders and oh yea let's not foget the AA meetings thanks to Erica and JR....Give us back our entertainment....save the real life drama for 20 20 or how about a transgender reality show...

125. I get so sick and tired of all these Holier Than Though people.Who want there right wing beliefs forced on people,and demand to be heard.I am not knocking anyones beliefs,but the Bible is a book,and only a book.Stop bringing God or Jesus into a conversation about Gays,Aids,or unwed people.Mary was not married when she became pregnant with Christ now was she.However we still put her upon a pedestal,but if any young woman got pregnant and unmarried she is the whore of the world.Further more we as citizens have no right to judge anyone look whom we voted for as President.America was founded under the beliefs of religous fanatics who burned people at the stake,and stole everthing they could from the Native Americans.America was not built up by white men as some claim but by the sweat of the slaves kidnapped from Africa.If you want to get nasty some of the founding father could be considered transgender walking around with powdered wigs tight paints and stockings come on get a grip.THE BIGGEST CROSS DRESSER in America was J Edgar Hoover.

126. #117 Maggie: I have such sympathy for you. To remotely assume from my comments regarding AMC, things about my children, family or home life in such a negative way, appears to show a glimmer of a sick and disturbed mind.

I do sincerely hope you make the best use of the mental health community as you can. As long as you continue with such bizarre assumptions on a stranger's household you represent a potential danger to yourself and others. If I thought I could help you myself, I certainly would.

I'll think of you when I recall the occasional faceless, unknowns that makes uninformed judgments on others (me, in this case) when I realize there are people not as fortunate as I to be surrounded by a wonderful husband, terrific children, great family, friendly neighbors, the best of friends and are well respected and enjoyed in our community.

Though I can't relate, it must be sad to be you. Take good care of yourself, dear.

127. #100-You are a self rituous idiot. You're the type of parent whose kids revert to drugs. So you blocked ABC soaps from your TV. Well there are alot of shows on TV that deal with Gay issues, in fact there is Will & Grace which was and still is a popular show. And now you throw Rosie into the mix. You might want to block Ellen Degeneres while you're at it. Oh and then you probably wouldnt watch the Academy Awards. What if the other Soaps you now watch added a gay storyline? I suggest maybe you throw out the TV altogether and spend some quality time with your kids. You might want to get a job and see what the real world is like. You are a narrow minded hypocritical jerk.

128. #121 Joanne: I feel sad for you. I hope you'll make an effort to work on your assumptive, creative hostilies. I only came to this site regarding Anna Nicole Smith stories. I should have realized there are a couple of uneducated people posting here. My bad!

129. I love AMC and I have no issue with this story at all. In fact, I didn't used to watch this show everyday like I do know and its only because of Jeffrey Carlson and the way he portrays Zoe. I also don't mind my children watching this either. I have in the past fast forwarded through some stories at least in front of my kids or any sexual scenes they are too young at 7 and 8 to see that. I thought about this and I don't see anything wrong with it. I want my kids to grow up accepting everyone as long as they aren't hurting anyone else. Not everyone can be what some people consider "normal" and that is ok. I think there is more things to be worry about in the world such as violence, homelessness, children being kidnapped for example. I don't understand why some people seem so upset about it. Maybe you should watch the show get informed and have some compassion for other people who don't fit into your perfect idea of what the world should be.

131. I love Zarf/Zoe, and think AMC is doing a grand job of presenting this aspect of humanity to their audience. People are people and we should respect that. So many people here are judgemental and it makes you look ignorant, angry, and sad. I'm a married woman who does not live in a very diverse part of the world. Yet diversity exists and people should embrace it. I think diversity opens us up and ignorance only builds walls and causes grief.
I do not know any transgender people, but I do like the person that Zarf/Zoe portrays on camera. I really enjoyed the unscripted episode and I think AMC did a great job with it. I hope that people are educated and enlightened by this storyline. I know I was. All you ignorant yanks can piss off. Wankers.

132. I love this story line and Jeffrey Carlson is doing a great job as Freddie/Zarf/Zoe. At 1st I was wondering how AMC was going to make up for the long dead/back from the dead story line bombs, but this takes it. I have been watching AMC since I was a young one and was just about to give up on it.

Kudos to AMC.

133. Yeah Barb, you soap opera loving mother of 3. Put me down anytime to make you feel better about being a poor role model. Doesn't bother me in the least.

I still feel so bad for your kids. Ever hear of PBS?
