alwaysAMC

I read that she said the pics of Britt were underage - was that it, or something else to it? I did see she and Kenya are kind of feuding about it on social media now, which is sad because I enjoyed how they got close this season.

Appreciate the insight! I didn't realize that, but helps to know for sure.

Decent episode - looking forward to next week. Pamela is in the previews - yay! And more Nicole/Vanessa... looks like they're finally sorting out and becoming more consistent with the best friend situation between Nicole/Vanessa and Dani/Pamela. It was only a matter of time.

Wait so he's never told Nicole and he's just telling Andre now after seeing a little video? This is odd. Ted be swaying again too haha.

Me too! I'm shocked actually, wasn't expecting that. So I guess the family likely knows then, and all assume that Dana had an abortion.

Ahh interesting, thank you!

This gambling storyline - what in the world was that butcher surgery scene?? LOL I'd get substance abuse like drugs/alcohol - but can gambling really impact your motor skills and cognitive thinking like that?

Some on here have speculated that maybe he's really Anita and Vernon's son... given the age and whatnot.

So Martin is Nicole's son at least since he was a toddler...

Yep - I've got a feeling that video we just saw has a hint into what happened - either the miscarriage or the night Ted wasn't around when she needed him.

We get more Shanice today - loving it!

Ahh - I didn't realize Josh left the show for a period of time. Thank you!

Right?!? I would love that.

Question - did Josh have any girlfriends between Reva and Annie ('90-95)? Josh and Annie are preparing to get married, only 4 months after having sex for the first time and while Reva haunted both of them during the entire time haha... but Hawk and Marah are not taking their relationship and pending marriage well, and it just seems odd to me that this wouldn't have occurred with the first woman Josh was seeing after Reva's 'death'.

Touche!

I'm up to August 24, 1995. Tangie just left with a whimper, only getting a quick goodbye to Roger - how sad. I googled when Marcy went back to AMC and it was only weeks after her last episode on GL (Sep '95). Makes me wonder how long the switch was in the works for behind the scenes. As a young teen, I'll never forget when Marcy came back to AMC as Liza and my mother screamed at the TV in shock haha. Holly, thinking she was starting menopause, just found out she's pregnant with Fletcher's baby - gag. I'm enjoying Nola so far. She and Bridgett look very similar, it's uncanny. Frank just joined the police academy and that's cute so far haha. Gilly just broke up with Sid because she found out he knew about her getting fired from the LA job at the hands of Alan, whom he just defended at the big trial. She doesn't trust Sid and I'm not sure where this will go, but it's sad to see Gilly upset. Aside from Reva's Amish return (so far so dumb) and the never-ending Dinah story which I strangely haven't gotten tired of yet, the other big story is the one that made me start this journey in the first place. Marian has finally arrived and immediately got a job back at Spaulding. It's creepy which I love, but logistically I have so many questions haha. I'm going to suspend my disbelief, but its hard to imagine that Brent, the straight, handsome f*ckboy, thought the best way to get revenge on the Cooper's is to dress as an old lady. I'm assuming his sister is still involved and has helped him, otherwise I don't really get how he knows what to do to make this happen. It's also a little strange that while he's alone and undressing/dressing, he's sometimes turns gay (how I would perceive it) in the way he prances around and talks in the mirror. I wouldn't think a straight dude dressing as a woman would continue the facade while alone. I can't imagine daily having to put on the fake glued on mask that doesn't seem reusable considering it falls apart as he takes it off. It seems like a creepy, younger Mrs. Doubtfire lookalike situation, which fits considering that movie came out in the early 90s. I'm still enjoying it though and it keeps me engaged, and I have to remind myself it's the 90s. Speaking of the 90s, the other aspect to this storyline is Lucy's HIV scare. It's a little cringe how dire and doom and gloom everyone is treating it. "Lucy you can DIE, Lucy you can KILL people if you're not tested". Everyone is scared to touch her or share food/drinks with her. I find it so odd that employers have asked and refused Susan jobs because she's HIV positive. There is no way they can ask that question these days, and I don't even know if they really could back then. But again, I know this is the 90s and I understand the HIV/AIDS sentiment back then, but it just doesn't age well. I'm still enjoying my GL watch, but all the character coming/goings the past few months has been a little jarring, but I guess that happens with a new EP and new HW.

I really like Alan-Michael too. I'm in August 1995 right now and Susan Bates arrived, and Nick/Susan/AM/Lucy are starting to pal around now. During this time, Nick has purposefully called AM 'Michael' twice now, and each time AM asks him why he's doing it, and Nick said he shouldn't be reminded of his horrible father by using Alan. AM reluctantly agrees and says Nick can keep calling him Michael... we'll see how long this lasts, but sounds like it gets dropped if AM continued to be AM for y'all

AMC - I would say Erica/Brooke for sure, but Erica's feud with Barbera was great. Anyone remember this epic Erica Kane slap when Barbara returned many years later? Talk about TKO! And for good measure, a good Brooke slap to Erica at the 6:18 mark. Erica: "I should have you arrested!" Brooke: "There's the phone. 911" 🤣

Congrats to BTG!

Haha love to hear it! Have you gotten to Meredith's bar mitzvah? That is one of my all-time favorite Mary moments 🤣 Bronwyn humbled Heather a little, or at least made Heather realize that she can't bulldoze or control newbies. Brownwyn was a strong first year housewife. Heather barked a little, but I thought she ended up being a non-factor by end of the season. I felt like Heather and Whitney took that much-needed backseat this season to make me be ok to see them again next season, if that makes sense.

This is awesome - I sure hope other soaps will become available like this in a similar manner!!! And even better, a pay option to remove ads on a monthly basis or something.

Yeeeeah, today was the first time I wasn't feeling Anita. It's clear they've been cleaning up their kids' messes for years, allowing no consequences for their poor behaviors. I don't love that. Otherwise, still a great week so far. Looking forward to tomorrow!

At this rate, I plan to keep watching at least through a part of '96. I started this journey with the goal that I would at least watch through Frank Beatty's official exit from the show, because realistically I can't do this until 2009. If there is a point in '96 where it just isn't keeping my interest anymore, I may consider going back to late 80s/early 90s for a bit. We'll see!

LOL at his 1995 New Year's wishes - GL didn't really listen to him - they had Reva with amnesia and Brent as a heartthrob rapist 😂

I guess he should have given Erica and Dimitri more time They turned out to be an outstanding couple! I wonder if he ever admits it later on...
