Disgusting, incredibly smug, and terrifyng in that this is the man the media would sacrifice their children to make President (either him or media darling Marco). http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/scott-walker-abortions-rape-incest http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/mary-lazich-abortion-bill-medical-training

Thanks. Given that he's 90 and seems happy and healthy, I guess Harrower was right... Franko, the photos were probably from about a month or two earlier.

I really am starting to wonder if the Mitchells would have a meeting to watch Phil wipe his backside. I have no idea why they were all needed to sit around and wonder where Sharon was, although I'm sure Roxy was glad to have another chance to dump off the kids. Speaking of Roxy, the best laugh in the episode was her turning her nose up at Council Not Dad - give him a trim and give Roxy a few G&Ts, and he'd be in her bed faster than her sister's latest boyfriend. This episode also provided a great example of good camp/bad camp. Good camp - Abi's hilarious wigging out at the vet do, Sharon and Council Not Dad, Sharon and Vincent (his eye-bugging seemed to subdue even her), Sharon threatening Ronnie. Bad camp - Les killing scenes dead with the worst acting display since Vicki Fowler. Between his rictus grins and the heavy uber-tan on poor Paul (who did what any logical person would do - avoid him whenever possible), their scenes looked like one of those "scandalous 1973 program no longer allowed on television" specials. Oh and Ian/Jane/Cindy were there, rehashing stories I stopped giving a hoot about the first time Jane's uterus became the subject of the Beale household nearly a decade ago. The show is trying to make us see how scary Bobby is, but it is mostly a child actor somewhat pleasantly reading his lines. The frightening person in that house is, and has been for a long time, Jane.

Thanks. It's too bad they didn't have higher sales. I guess DVD sales are fading everywhere.

I guess that's the way of modern soaps, but how blithely some things were glossed over throughout the episode (like Victoria and Robert nearly getting Adam sent back to prison and Victoria nearly running him over) was...odd. I think it's been good drama though, although I prefer the quieter, painful material with Laurel and Ashley. Michelle Hardwick's been doing some great work the last few days. And seeing Rakesh absolutely obliterate his son, under the guise of "protecting" him, is interesting to watch. I don't think the guy who plays Kirin is the best actor but he's made this work.

Sure. I'll try to do it later tonight. I'll put it in the soap potporri (potpurri?) thread (or was it potluck?) if you remember where it is. I don't.

No problem. Sorry the scan isn't better quality. I wonder how long after this Terry left.

Here's a cute tweet they sent out. https://twitter.com/MrMattWolfenden/status/605797858130796544 Meanwhile, it seems like Leyla just keeps getting more and more set up to die. I hope I'm wrong. This is so tough to watch. It's well-acted but it's heartbreaking. The only positive I can say is that I'm starting to buy her friendship with Vanessa, which before now always felt like two people living together, not much else.

The kiss was awkward but perhaps it was supposed to be. Otherwise, I thought Labey and Harry Reid had chemistry - more than he did with Sam Strike. And Labey helped make an unbearable Christian-knockoff role more tolerable. Ron Sloman truly is heinous. I try with him and he starts that awful mugging all over again. The new cast members are making Letitia Dean seem like Lindsey Coulson.

Here's the last one I had. It mostly seems to be intact, but a Jill and John scene seems to cut off, sadly. I wish I had more but I'm sure I have bits and pieces somewhere. The third episode, BTW, is apparently December 6, from what someone commented on my channel.

Thanks. I wish we could see that. It would be fascinating seeing Tom Poston in that type of role. And to see more of the Barrons.

Surprisingly good BTS feature. Very detailed.

All I remember was James telling Lucinda that he'd paid to have a lookalike body and that's the one that was on the floor or the morgue or wherever else. I don't think bringing Damian back was a bad idea, but the execution was often off. The closest they came to getting it right was his last return but then they made him nuts toward the end. Paolo not aging well didn't help.

A while back slick jones or danfling asked to see caps of Jo Henderon's July 1968 appearance. I never did get around to it, but found it today. If you want a gif or a clip let me know. She was a pretty lady...she looks just like her Wilma performance in the last one.

Grainy caps of Joe. If you want to see a gif or a clip let me know.

A few grainy caps of Susan. If anyone wants me to gif the scene or do a short clip of it, let me know.

How random seeing Susan Lucci on there. I had to suffer through Penny scenes to catch them, so I paid my penance. How surprising to see a few episodes before it that Mike was wearing blue jeans in his scenes with Nancy. Something that would not have happened on soaps until around that time.

I'd seen that before but didn't remember seeing him. It was a big flop. Looks like someone had an eye for soap actors though.
