LOL enjoy it

Previews for next week - it looks like we get a slap! The way Leslie is holding her face, I assume Anita slapped her. Also curious by the last clip - was that creepy Alison attacking Chelsea?
-
I thought it was telling when Anita made it a point to say to Vernon that the only man who hasn't cheated on his wife is Vernon. That immediately made me think he's cheated and they purposefully added that line because of it.

This firefighter that Ashley is talking to is 🔥 So hot, they need to keep him around. He should have been cast as Derek instead LOL. He's already a better actor too.

YES! The Blake storyline was so weird to me only because it came out of the blue, only lasted like 8-10 days max, and we never saw Blake's POV. But you're right, how does she not think to find somewhere to use a phone to call someone? And then yeah, having Amanda and Roger at Matt's house-building party was especially odd. They were all randomly kumbaya'ing together with beer and hammers like they belonged. It was weird.
-
Yeah this June storyline is so full of issues. I know there is a father, but LOL at tiny a$$ June next to those bigger/taller "teens". Hmm, so is Kat really asexual or is Tomas just bad in bed? Maybe Tomas just doesn't know what to do...
-
Can't wait, this looks good! A few observations: 1) barely any Heather, which is interesting; 2) Brittani doesn't seem to be a full-time housewife, just a friend again; and 3) seems appropriate that they're finally going to Greece LOL.

I’m up to July 31, 1997. Jesse ends up getting thrown in jail because he missed his probation appointment due to meeting Michelle. Griffin is representing him, which upsets Marcus given he thinks Jesse was trying to rape Michelle the night he ‘saved’ her (he was not trying to rape her). Michelle realizes Jesse can’t read, which he finally admits to. He keeps pushing her away and keeps alluding to how he hates the Bauer’s. I’m enjoying Jesse so far, but it makes me wonder why they never gave J and Michelle a chance. J hasn’t been used in several months, which is odd. Wait, I wonder if Jesse has Maureen’s heart… hmm. I hope not because that would be a little weird to have Michelle fall in love with a guy that has her mother’s heart. Jesse finally tells Michelle that he hates the Bauers because her father (Ed) killed his mother one night when he was drunk. She feels bad about it and continues to be nice to him and they finally kiss on the beach. Dahlia is auditioning for some producer named Sugar Hill, who surprise - is played by Taye Diggs! Marcus/Dahlia show up to the Towers which has now been redesigned and looks more modern. It’s daytime, so I can’t tell yet if I like it or not. I was just thinking that the Towers set hasn’t been used in forever, which is sad because it’s so lux and my favorite set on this show. Reva plans to move in with Josh, so she gifts her house to Abby (which she confirmed that Alan gave it to her post-Goshen for free). Josh files for divorce from Annie. Annie/Alan go to Reva’s house and hand-delivers the signed divorce papers to Josh and then gives him back her wedding ring. Outside, as they leave, Alan and Annie kiss and Annie vows to get revenge on Reva/Josh! Eventually, Reva decides she doesn’t want Shayne to see Annie in prison, so she agrees to drop any charges against Annie. The judge says Annie can be freed from any perjury charges as long as she vows to turn her life around (LOL, I don’t think it works that way, but ok). Annie is now determined to find Reva’s sister in hopes she’ll turn out to be a disaster for Reva. She finds out her name is Cassie Layne and later learns that she has a 6-year old girl named Tammy. Matt, Dinah and Hart end up telling Bill that Vanessa is alive and he’s livid and lunges at Matt for not telling him sooner. Michael ends up kissing Vanessa and then runs off. Vanessa confronts him about it and he tells her about the lady that died that he was helping, who happened to look just like Vanessa. Vanessa then leaves Michael a letter that she can’t be around him anymore because it breaks his heart too much that she reminds him of his dead ex. Matt finds Michael alone and starts fighting him and Michael tells Matt they know Dinah/Matt are together, which Matt then corrects. Matt reads Vanessa’s letter about her leaving and gets upset. Later, Michael tells Matt/Dinah/Hart that Roger knew about Vanessa being alive, which pisses them all off. They confront Roger about it and he confesses that Vanessa is alive. Roger tells Matt she wants nothing to do with him. Dinah then uses WSPR to air breaking news of her pleading to Vanessa to come home, and that Matt/Dinah are not together and they all love/miss her. Sadly, Vanessa didn’t get to see the TV because she left the diner just before it started. The waitress watches the TV though and sees the picture of Vanessa that Dinah shows and realizes it was her customer that just left. The waitress calls up Dinah and tells her Vanessa was there (which was 50 miles north of Springfield). But now, Matt is determined to finish the lake house that he and Vanessa were meant to live the rest of their lives in. He thinks if he finishes the house, Vanessa will come back. In a random turn of events, Michael decides to help Matt and then Reva/Josh come by to help as well. Then everyone else in town shows up with food and tools LOL (Nola, Lillian, Amanda, Roger, Fletcher, Holly, Dahlia, Hart, Dinah). Meanwhile, Vanessa is driving at night and comes across a lady in white in the middle of the road. Come to find out, it’s Vanessa and she gets into her car…. Hmm, so this must be her imagination, but fake Vanessa tries to talk her into going back home to Matt. Of course she gets distracted, loses control of the car and crashes. She’s fine though. After more talks with her ‘conscience’, she seems determined to go back home. Oh, then Rick shows up to the house and he recognizes Michael and can’t quite place it, so he’s asking more questions about his time in Chicago as a doctor. He realizes he was the doctor who had a patient that died, but then this doesn’t really go anywhere. Blake went away and left a cryptic message to Holly that she’s in trouble and needs help. Ross and Holly work with the police to find Blake, but the police say they have a body in the morgue they want them to identify! Ross looks at the body and breaks down because thankfully it wasn’t Blake. After hours of waiting, Blake shows up at the house and everyone celebrates that she’s home, while Ross kisses her and professes his love to her. This was a very random, dramatic week-long storyline that seemed out of place haha. I guess it was a way to get Ross/Blake back together by allowing him to miss her and fear she was dead. Come to find out, her purse was stolen, her cell phone died and she had no money, so she had to hitchhike home (we never saw any of this). The Jenna/Buzz/Jeffrey story continues, with Philip and Harley (“Starla”) playing in the ruse. Philip and Harley kiss and seem to be startled by how much they enjoyed it. Eleni overhears the group practicing and realizes what’s happening, so she forces them to tell her the truth. Buzz then gets Eleni involved in the ruse, per her request, and she tells Frank she’s going back to Greece to take care of her sick grandmother. Frank starts to suspect that Eleni isn’t telling the truth. While this story isn’t very interesting, I’m just glad they’re finally giving Eleni something to do, and getting Frank more airtime again now that Lucy is gone. Then in NYC, Frank shows up and finds Eleni in disguise and isn’t happy because he thinks she’s cheating on him now. Then Buzz walks in, who is pretending to be her husband and Frank is very confused. But then Frank arrests both of them on the spot because he’s so angry LOL. Eleni, in one of her most dramatic scenes, screams and takes a stand against Frank, and Frank crumbles, concedes and he gives them grace. Meanwhile, Harley and Philip have to pretend to have sex because they know Jeffrey is watching them on video (gross), and they again get startled by how much they like it. Then they pretend that Harley is dead in bed after a tying-up, rough sex ‘accident’ with Philip. They’re all freaking out, yada yada. The police come, they all turn on Jeffrey, blame him for stealing millions from Spaulding. Jeffrey turns it back on them, saying they killed a girl, but when he takes the cops to the bed, Harley is gone and there’s no dead body. There’s dramatic/harrowing music throughout, which is kind of fun, but it all falls flat because this whole storyline really wasn’t that exciting. We have a villain (Jeffrey) who was never developed, and Jenna as the heroine who is actually still a thief and not really innocent. I mean, it’s watchable (unlike 5th Street or Griffin/Gilly/Vivian storylines), but it’s not overly interesting. Maybe it just wasn’t emotionally satisfying for me because it was a bunch of characters I don’t love as much or were new to me. Wait, Harley’s real middle name is Davidson? As in Harley Davidson Cooper?? So dumb LOL.

I love to read that Star Trek is a priority across the company! That makes me happy out of all of this.
-
I agree with the majority, today wasn't it. This June storyline has holes and isn't even that interesting bc there wasn't any mystery or suspense, it just... was.
-
Yeah, ultimately McTavish made it a bigger umbrella story, which I actually liked, but I think part of his motivation was Dinah, IIRC. He didn't like her friendship with him and he was new in town and disrupting things for him. Remember she also brought Reva and her Goshen story into the Brent/Marian storyline for a bit too - they all seem to come together at some point.
-
That surprises me that Brent/Marian wasn't featured or written about anywhere, as that ate up most of 1995 and was actually good/thrilling (for some). Maybe they were scared bc it was a little taboo for the decade? Hmm - can you send the summary or more context on what Roger did? I just watched 1995 several months ago so I can check my notes or scour my brain if I think about it a bit . My initial memory is that Roger was only involved in that storyline when he framed Marcus for stealing money at the Twin Towers, and then when Marian killed Cutter, Marcus became the suspect. I can't remember Roger being involved in the Marian storyline beyond that off the top of my head.
-
-
Totally agree with this! And I never saw this storyline/reveal actually coming, so that was fun.

My gut tells me that Cady only meant it in a more superficial quirky 'best gal pal' character, but I doubt Cady knew much about the history and deeper relationship between Opal and Erica since Dixie didn't have a ton of scenes with them directly (only more directly with Opal, Erica/Dixie weren't ever really connected that often, and when they were, it wasn't overly friendly haha).
-
-
Agree - Dani was calmer today and her scenes with Bill were truly good. Bill being emotional hits you for sure, I liked it.

You're amazing, thank you! That first episode was a good choice. I'm surprised she didn't do the dry-out at the cabin episode, but I haven't seen the Alan/Annie wedding yet so not sure how amazing it is (and I didn't watch that reel there because I'm guessing I'll be there pretty soon in my watch). Very interesting that she acknowledged Kim Zimmer in her speech and said she loves her. She also mentioned she misses her GL family, so I guess she already left GL by then? I wonder why Cynthia decided to leave, because her IMDB doesn't seem to have much in those few years after she left in 1998. Now I wonder what episodes Kim submitted for that year LOL. I have to say so far, Annie definitely outshines Reva in the first half of 1997. I also wonder what storyline Lucci had that year, I'll have to go back and remember what Erica was up to in 1997.
