alwaysAMC

Ohhh I am (currently) haha. Seeing him today, I'm not as into him, but he was a looker back in the 90s. It made the Lonatrat storyline easier to get through

All good! I'm glad you're enjoying it. ♥️ Ohhh, Eva and Tomas have a kiss. Kat is going to go crazy when she hears about this haha. Hmm - who did Hayley call? I wonder if that's June...

Now Madison is coming across a little crazy. The Articulettes storyline is getting way too repetitive.

Oh man, I'm glad you're ok! What a scary experience that has to be. I have a huge fear of flying, but I'm always traveling/flying haha. It's hard. Yeah, I'd expect way more than that.

How scary is this?? Frank Grillo (ex-Hart) was on the plane that caught fire and had emergency landing on Friday. https://ew.com/superman-star-frank-grillo-plane-makes-emergency-landing-after-fire-11776326

Do we think the show is going to give up on Dani being an alcoholic? I feel like they've cut way back on that in the last couple months. Similarly, I wonder if Bill's health problem is over or if they will bring that back.

I just caught up on the last two episodes and I'm 100% Team Nicole. Love Shanice and Derek LOL!

This is so great, thanks for sharing! Love to see that.

Thanks I guess that makes sense, I actually have a great friend from West Texas who calls his mother by her first name all the time, so it tracks haha. Close enough to Oklahoma...

LOL - you're so right and what great ideas! Would have been so much better

Oh my gosh, I hope she can reinstate and not start from scratch! To lose everything, along with all the comments, would be devastating. I thought that was what happened at first. I'll keep hope alive! Haha could be, or generally getting rid of many people and bringing in new people. I wonder if updating the opening was expensive back then. They just updated it to remove Zachary, Lucy and A-M, and add Jenna. I remember back in 95 and early 96 it took them like a year to finally update and add all the new characters, so I assumed cost was a factor. But at this time, they're losing Dusay and Zaslow, and from what I have read, more are coming in the next few months. Ugh.

I’m up to March 28, 1997. Ross moves out and then delivers Blake divorce papers, which is so heartbreaking as she breaks down again. Ross starts to pay attention more to his own son, which is mean but understandable at first. Ross and Rick start to fight about immunizing the twins and their overall care. Meanwhile, Abby moves into Reva’s house for now, and Rick brings her mother Charlotte to see Abby. Charlotte is kind and considerate for once, but Abby decides to stay in Springfield for now. Rick vows not to give up on Abby. Dinah and Hart have temporarily separated after their big blowout over her Parisian friends visiting and partying. Dinah and Matt support each other and spend time bonding over losing their loved ones, and they spend an entire episode watching Matt/Vanessa’s wedding video and home movies. Meanwhile, Vanessa has a breakthrough in Lucerne and can see light again! J is taking art and camera classes and taking it very seriously (again, he’s now a more mature version). Their class is going to photograph a nude female model, who happens to be Michelle (what??). Thankfully she got nervous and ran out of the room before she disrobed. They keep talking about Michelle and Dahlia being in high school, but everything this show does screams inappropriate for high schoolers haha. There is no way a university would allow an underage high school teen to pose as a nude model. Michelle’s mom is dead, her father moved to Africa, and her caretaker uncle is a busy doctor who is wildly busy with his own personal life. I guess Michelle has a random Aunt Meta that she just met, but it’s wild to me that Michelle is left to essentially fend for herself while she’s 16-17 years old. Dahlia tells Marcus she loves him. *Yawn* Alan gets angry at Buzz, so he spills the secret that Jenna left Springfield pregnant and that Buzz is the father. Buzz doesn’t believe him, so he confronts Jenna and she tells him the truth, which was pretty touching. He is upset but eventually accepts it and wants to be a good father to Cooper. Amanda is starting to get jealous of Holly and there is a little rivalry brewing, which is amusing. Meanwhile, Annie gets upset when she hears that Josh went to Chicago to help Reva find her sister. She throws something and breaks Brandon Spaulding’s bust, which happens to be holding a secret birth certificate that Alex has been hiding. As the maid is cleaning up debris, Roger stops her and finds the birth certificate, which shows Brandon and a Jennifer Richards as being parents to Amanda Jennifer Spaulding. Roger then shows Amanda, who is completely shocked. As am I! So that means Alan isn’t her father, he’s actually her brother! Amanda is very angry and threatens Alex, now her sister (not aunt), to leave Springfield to maintain some semblance of a life, or stay and face her wraith because she is now on a warpath. Without a word, Alex walks out the door. Later, everyone is wondering where Alex went because they can’t find her and she isn’t showing up to appointments. Meanwhile, Roger/Leo tell Amanda she’s entitled to half of everything Brandon owned. She then angrily tells Alan the truth, which Holly overhears. Alan is in disbelief, but doesn’t hold anything against Amanda, which surprises her. Meanwhile, Alex comes back to town and confronts Alan, who now wants nothing to do with her ever again. “You are dead to me!” Phillip consoles a heartbroken Alex. Alex leaves town (March 25), and I’ll miss Dusay so much. Alan continues to suck. Billy calls and tells Annie that HB is ill and had a heart attack, which allows her to get Josh back home and away from Reva (her plan to send her on a wild goose chase was failing because Josh ended up helping Reva find her sister). Annie’s plan led Reva to a cemetery with a Dutton headstone, which they’re telling her was Reva’s sister’s foster family. Reva unravels a bit here. Reva comes back to Springfield upon the news of HB’s heart attack and sees Annie wearing a copy of her mother/sister’s cameo, and now Reva is concerned that Annie is her long lost sister LOL. I find it odd that Josh and Billy refer to HB as HB and not dad/father, but maybe that was normal for them. Anyway, loved seeing all the flashbacks - Reva/HB, Billy/HB, Josh/HB. March 6 - the opening theme cuts out all the character shots and just leave a shortened version of lighthouse. How disappointing.

I wasn't really satisfied with today's episode, and I'll just leave it at that. I sure hope tomorrow is dynamite when Nicole finally learns the truth. I just don't understand why they left Nicole in the dark when Vernon/Anita/Ted all knew. I just don't feel like Martin is their son since they aren't close and rarely have scenes together. Nicole could handle it. Same with Smitty. Just poor decisions all around IMO.

Thank you for keeping us going, along with all our history!

Thanks for asking her and letting us know! That's great you know who she is and have a connection to her. Do we know why it was shut down (assuming copyright?), and if that's the case, do we know how she would get by with uploading them again without getting in trouble? Or is it a gamble, knowing every other year or so they'll notice and remove again?

Oh wow, I missed this! Do we know why Hillary had to leave so abruptly? I love that LaFortune made a soap return after her long stint at AMC as Laurel. She sounds like Geena Davis here haha!

Two great points, the latter being LOL.

I don't disagree, but when the actor himself says no one has guessed what happened... I think we all expected a twist at that point (or at least me haha). I mean, several people guessed a hate crime and political coverup. But with that said, I thought the flashback and story itself was good, but not sure months-long-build up good. I'm excited to see the aftermath though. I really want this to test Martin and Smitty as a couple with ultimate reconciliation. Although at this point, so many couples are broken up/in trouble LOL. Nicole/Ted, Dani/Bill, Ashley/Derek, Vanessa/Doug...

Haha true... but I guess in that situation, if two strangers were threatening me with a gun and then starts beating on my grandpa, I don't know how quick I'd be to stop fighting until I felt completely safe. It was the guy with the gun who died though right? I already need to go back and rewatch the scene haha.

Definitely felt like a Friday episode. I enjoyed the flashbacks and being able to see it all. But, it really wasn't that edgy or surprising. Was everything covered up solely because of their political status? Generally I would just assume this was all self-defense and there would be a good way to defend them through the legal process. The man had a gun and they threatened and beat on them first.... am I missing anything? Smitty killed it though, he's quickly becoming a star!

Makes sense. The OG seasons and cast members are my favorites too. I still watch, but nothing ever beats the good ol' days.

Haha this was good! I'm not familiar with Peter Rosenthal (!), but it seems like he enjoyed giving it his all there. @DRW50 - are you a housewives fan?

So happy for Miami! Not surprising, but Brit announced on her Insta today that she won't be returning to Housewives. Good riddance! https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/14/brit-eady-exits-real-housewives-of-atlanta/

Oh that does look good, hopefully it doesn't disappoint. I also would love if Bravo played it at some point, or NBC made it available on Peacock somehow. The blond in the middle looks to be the villain/stirs up a lot of stuff! I also love the teacups!

So did Rebecca Budig when she started at GL. But totally agree. 100% agree.
