Thinking about what a missed opportunity it was to not bring back Rita with a son. If they SORASED him to be around Alan-Michael’s age in 1989, he and AM likely would’ve butted heads (Alan’s bio son versus this new son that Rita wants to pass off as Alan’s; they’d both be career driven looking to make a name for themselves at Spaulding Enterprises) Throw in Alan Michael’s close relationship with the Bauers most notably Ed, he would’ve been one to reveal the truth. Throw in Hope, Alan, maybe even Roger, and the story writes itself.

I do like Brady and Tates relationship, one of the best father/son relationships in daytime.

I might be alone in this but I also think the actor that plays Izaiah has improved tremendously since his first day and this was his best episode.

Instead of casting Jon Linstrom as a mobster they should’ve made Joey into a wealthy Alan Spaulding type, probably one that is on the board at Garland or one that funds lobbyists in DC.

EastEnders: Discussion Thread
Aweee Josh and Oscar are cute 😍 Which means the show is somehow going to find a way to eventually ruin them down the road; but I’m going to be blindly optimistic going into this.

The Bill and Anita scene had so much heart and emotion in it, it’s one of the best scenes I’ve watched from an American soap in awhile.

A perfect time to revisit Blake/AM would’ve been off the heels of the Ex Wives club in 2002 where at one point Blake expressed a desire to return to the corporate world. Joan Collins Alexandria is working with AM (recast) to wrestle the company from Alan/Phillip/Olivia. AM lures Blake in but she isn’t aware of the depths that Alex and AM will go to acquire Spaulding. Eventually I would’ve cowtied to the Bloss fans and have AM a one off (is she going to give into temptation or isn’t she? she doesn’t of course). Eventually she realizes Alex and AM are way too cutthroat and are willing to throw her under the bus to get Spaulding (maybe Alex sets Blake up as someone who is buying Spaulding stock and AM turns a blind eye to Alex wanting to railroad Blake) eventually Blake happily returns to Ross (roll eyes).

ALL: Characters that fizzled
GL Sebastian Hulce We were so excited to have Roger Thorpes absence (and MZs passing) addressed but he and his storyline fizzled out like a lot of David Kreizmans stories.

Yup Carlton is clearly the impaler and both Kial and Ted will come running to Nicole’s rescue; ending with Kial as the victor thus giving way to a Shanice/Ted/Nicole/Kial quad. Today’s episode was a good one. Since the special episode on Monday the show has felt different, more energy and direction. Something tells me the show will hit its stride during season 2.

As a long time fan it practically writes itself. And like so many other opportunities during AM’s run, you can bring Hope back just as AM switches his loyalty to Roger/Thorpe Inc. Hell it even opens up for a bombshell return by Alan. (None of that Tangie mess, instead Alan finding out AM and Roger have teamed up?!? Explosive) Sprinkle in a sense of longing between Gilly and AM but AM is torn because Blake (and her father Roger) hold the key to him achieving his thirst for power
