Chad's plan backfires? What happens? Does he accidentally get Will into bed instead (I hope)? And I'm not even gonna comment on Tony moving in with Sarenee. I'm just gonna close my eyes and pretend it's not happening.

Fixed? And "true dat!" about Xander.

Meanwhile, should I feel bad that I don't feel bad about Thomas? Like, I'd never wish anything bad to happen to him, or to anyone else; but, at the same time, given everything we know about him, he's in the hospital and I'm like, *shrug*.

(You, too, @Paul Raven!)

I never thought I would see the day when we would have to trust TMZ (and not the "mainstream media") to get to the bottom of things.

I'm sure if TPTB had their way, PT/Xander would be naked in every scene.

Chances are, if Ron Carlivati were writing Diane's return, her first words back would be complaining of a splitting headache.

I would say the "ultimate bad girl" was Lorie Brooks. I mean, any woman who'd wear a dress split up to her cootchie is clearly no angel.

Poor Thaao, Suzanne and Leann. They're doing their best to make that [!@#$%^&*] work.

Out of all the Miller-Boyett shows that I've seen, only "Bosom Buddies" was really any good -- and that was due more to the casting than to the writing. Otherwise, their shows were utter crap.

Yeah, most of my memories of SW come from her work on LOVING. Well, that, and "Elvis & Me."

Well, the stairs certainly remind me of the old Webber house.

The Shapiros tried to do a soap about vampires? Jesus, keep me near the cross!

I think I'm more perplexed over how Diane relates at all to Keemo and Allie. Are they REALLY gonna suggest she's Allie's mother? Because, if that's where Josh is going, then I wish he wouldn't.

Yeah, there was a period when the networks (and NBC in particular) kept trying to make Lisa Rieffel happen. Sort of like how they keep trying to make Jimmy Wolk happen today.

You know, I STILL wonder why Breyer has changed his mind about retiring, especially when his retirement will not have any impact on SCOTUS' current ideological makeup.

Perhaps. But hearing that theme song always felt oddly comforting to me, even though I wasn't a huge GH fan. If anything, I thought Wendy Riche just needed to keep "Autumn Breeze" (or maybe have a new recording of it) and instead film a new opening, with a new ambulance whizzing by the hospital, because the sequence that WAS there looked worn-out as hell.

As the product of what I consider to have been an interracial marriage - my mother is half-Black, half-Muscogee (Creek) Indian; my father was half-Indian, half-Chinese - I find Sen. Braun's comments to be appalling, and terrifying.

Julie (or Julia) Montgomery also played a Diane Chambers act-a-like in a final season episode of "Cheers," and she was the victim in an episode (co-starring J. Eddie Peck and Leslie Nielsen) of "Murder, She Wrote," which taught us all a VERY valuable lesson: NEVER ask Julie Montgomery to play a drunk scene.

Agree!!

Yeah, the only alteration made during that time was when they changed the theme to "Autumn Breeze," which will always be my favorite GH theme song, btw.

She played Betty Childs, who was Ted McGinley's character's love interest, until Robert Carradine's character raped her - yes, I said raped her - at the Greek Games while dressed in a Darth Vader costume (which was either Ted McGinley's character's, or one like it, I can't remember anymore). Yep, here it is. Remember, she (Betty) has no idea it's not Stan under that mask -- and afterward, when Lewis DOES take off his mask, she's surprised, but she also says he was "wonderful" and asks him to meet her after the pep rally:

To impregnate her with a demon spawn? I'm only guessing.

Nikki calling Diane a "cheap [...] tramp [...] in need of a life" is REALLY the pot calling the kettle black.

"Oh, darling, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for your unnecessary exorcism yesterday."
