You know, between his reaction to that striptease and his behavior during the NYE episode, I'm really starting to wonder about John. Are they setting us up for an Alzheimer's storyline? (Say it ain't so, Ron!)

Absolutely!

That should be the song that Harmorita serenades Alexis with at their wedding.

Rita Coolidge looks pretty good standing there between Laura Wright and the girl who plays Willow. And all Kathryn Hays' passing gets is a strip at the bottom next to the damn barcode? SOD has no class. (As Kim/KH herself would say, "WTG, Kiddo!")

Just be grateful "Wolf in the Kitchen" or "Keeping Up with the Joneses" never came to pass.

Of course, I believe I would have written and shot differently, lol. I would have had Nick show up outside of Crimson Lights, looking through the window behind the counter at Sharon, who's busy cleaning up for the night. I would have STAYED outside CL - meaning, we'd watch the scene unfold through the window - as Nick enters. The music that's playing underneath the scene fades and we hear outside noises (cars driving by, the wind, whatever) as Nick gets Sharon's attention and begins to tell her the news. We don't hear anything that either Nick or Sharon say, but we can tell by Sharon's reactions that Nick has told her about the crash. Sharon breaks down and Nick puts his arms around her as we slowly fade to black.

John seems really happy for Sami. I mean, REALLY happy.

*Raises hand* I'm sorry, I just get the feeling that if I DID smell Brad Maule, I wouldn't like what I find.

I think so. I think we're gonna find out down the road (ha!) that Ashland intended to kill Victoria - he, and not Rey, was driving the oncoming vehicle that caused Victoria to crash - but that his plans were spoiled - first, when Victoria managed to survive the crash with only minor injuries; and second, when Rey happened upon the scene, figured out (somehow) what Ashland had been up to and tried to detain him, only for Ashland to kill him to prevent him from exposing his crime. The next part isn't really spoilers, but in case fanfic ain't your bag:

Yup, lol. As one writer put it at the time, "but when JFP changed the Chancellor mansion, she had to go."

That Ron Carlivati is one petty bitch.

How many times must I remind you (and everyone else)? THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE ALIENS TO TAKE THEIR BABY.

"Who's Bonnie? And since when was Sonny your son?" This better not lead to a discussion about the time WK played an evil ventriloquist on ATWT, okay, people? Just don't do it.

Yes, but I think the writers explained that H.B. and Henry would often travel to SF for business and other purposes.

Well, the Eli Simms story pretty much changed all that, lol. IIRC, the writers at the time retconned the Spauldings' history, claiming that Brandon Spaulding lived in SF all along -- and was friends and/or colleagues with Bill Bauer, Henry Chamberlain, H.B. Lewis and Tom Reardon -- even though it had been previously established that Alan was the first Spaulding to live there.

And just like that, the dream is over. Do y'all think Fox News will take back Chris Wallace, or nah? And didn't I read in one of the articles you posted, @Vee, that WBD plans to shift AWAY from the Zucker model of personality-led shows (i.e., Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo) and back toward breaking-news?

Oh, you could play that scene today. But it better end with J.R. getting his balls caught in a vise.

I applaud Lloyd Gold - at least, I think it was Lloyd Gold? - for introducing a new, African-American family, the Boudreauxes, to GL, but it was clear almost from the beginning that that was not high on the list of Paul Rauch's or P&G's priorities.

Yup. FOX and TMS's producers either underestimated the negative impact that Rudy's appearance would have made or, more likely, they thought the controversy he was BOUND to engender would goose the ratings.

Still, it was better than how Leonard Katzman might have wanted to send out Sue Ellen: drunk as a skunk, being carted off to a loony bin, swearing (with slurred speech) that she'll get J.R. if it's the last thing she ever does.

Exactly. Thank you. ICAM. GOP'ers want to tsk-tsk Hollywood, but they want Hollywood to give them and their deplorable-ness the mainstream legitimacy they so obviously crave, too. (Never mind the fact that very few, if anyone, who lives outside of Hollywood or NYC looks to the entertainment industry as any sort of moral or ethical compass.)

You know, good on Wally for collecting two paychecks (one from GH, one from DAYS), but I can't be the only one who gets dizzy trying to keep it all separate and distinct.

I've gotten that same impression as well. I also get the feeling that, as anyone who worked on DALLAS, you didn't question Leonard Katzman's judgment on anything if you wanted to remain employed on the show. The only reason why Sue Ellen got to leave with any dignity is because Linda Gray basically bullied Katzman into writing her as something other than a pathetic, falling-down drunk.

Not to get TOO political in a thread that's not supposed to be about politics, but it strikes me as...well...interesting that the GOP routinely accuses Hollywood of corrupting the rest of the country with its' "loose," liberal values; when, in fact, I would argue that the film, television and media industries have done more to normalize and glamourize Republicans than anyone else. And Rudy's appearance last night on TMS is merely the latest example of that. And, of course, here we have someone who has aided and abetted our former leader in a multitude of sins - including the likely irreversible corrosion and perversion of our nation's supposed, core principles - being celebrated like a king on national TV, and who are the ones cheering him on the loudest? The white, female judges. Parker Molloy was right: we really have failed as a society.
