Stupid to put on new episodes against the Grammys. At least they didn't put it up against Superbowl too.

No big event on Sunday, right?

Just cannot wait for a Grayson family murder cover-up! I bet they will take care of the problem and then put smiles on their lips and pretend nothing happened.

Tonight's ending!! Victoria just killed Helen. While I am not surprised that Conrad found out so quickly, I am surprised Victoria told Daniel and made him accessary to murder. I do hope they don't tell Charlotte though. She'd freak and tell the world. How on earth will the Graysons cover this up? Helen's "friends" are sure to suspect Vicky and Connie!

Interesting winter finale! Some skeet shooting with the Initiative spying on the Graysons. Power stuggle at both NolCorp and Grayson Global. Suddenly Daniel is the CEO of BOTH companies! Nolan forced to give 51% of NolCorp to Daniel, and then Emily sending old footage of Ashley & Conrad having sex (apparently it happened once, when Conrad was divorced from Victoria and before Ashley hooked up with Daniel) to Victoria so that Victoria could oust Ashley from the Grayson fold, and therefore make Daniel more inclined to listen to Aiden, who Ashley dislikes. But hold your horses! After a talk with Conrad, who straightened things out, Victoria realized it was a ploy and decided to use the video to make Conrad win the board meeting vote. By having Ashley seduce the most influenced board member to vote for Conrad. But as Emily/Aiden has access to the Grayson surveillance cameras, they were one step ahead and had Daniel walk in on Ashley seducing the board member! And Daniel in return blackmailed him into voting for him, or he'd show his wife the picture of him & Ashley that he just snapped with this cellphone camera.

Daniel was full of ruthlessness. After seeing Aiden cuddle Emily, he wouldn't let Aiden back into Grayson Global, and ditched his right-hand man like hot potatoes. How will Emily control Daniel's every move now? Hook up with him again, maybe? Over at the mansion, Ashley left in shame as Conrad had all surveillance cameras disconnected. Must have realized that someone's been hacking into the system, or else how would all information have gotten out?

Nolan invited ex-boyfriend Marco back to NolCorp. The future love triangle (?) of him, Padma and Marco will find a way to take back NolCorp from Daniel. While Daniel is the new target for the Initiative, now that Conrad is no longer in charge. They are already spying on Daniel through secret cameras in his office.

Over at the marina, Carl's old pal came back to warn Jack about the Ryan brothers. Apparently, Jack didn't know they were the sons of Joel Ryan, a mobster that vanished, probably killed, 6 years ago. Jack found out the story. That the pal killed Mr Ryan with Carl's gun, and that Carl hid the gun on The Amanda to save his friend. And now Mr Ryan's sons are there. Why? They don't have any good intentions, that's for sure. And Jack headed to his boat and found the murder weapon.

Former One Life to Live & Sunset Beach actress Sherri Saum will guest star on Revenge s2.

It's funny that Aiden & Emily are portrayed as innocent, only correcting mistakes. At least they seem to think so themselves. LOL. I wouldn't be surprised if people will go after THEM for revenge at some point, cause they are using so many people. And they aren't so sweet themselves.

Did Victoria kill her mom's boyfriend or did Marion do it herself, and then had Victoria shoot him again so she'd get gun powder on her hands and fingerprints on the gun? What a nutcase Marion Harper turned out to be. Glad Victoria & Conrad invited her in to be completely humiliated and lose Ben, who she actually thought was a real person interested in her.

What lenghts will Victoria & Conrad go to to make sure that Daniel doesn't get involved with the Initiative?

It's actually very interesting this part. Emily & Aiden are working hard to make sure Daniel takes over Grayson Global, because Daniel is much easier to manipulate than Conrad, who isn't close with Emily/Aiden. All so they can lure out the Initiative and get revenge on them for all terrorist acts they have pulled. And then there's Victoria/Conrad on the other side who ALSO wants to take down the Initiative, but NOT involving Daniel in anything. They have the SAME GOAL, but not the same methods in reaching the goal.

And now Nolan's company is dragged into the mess. Poor Nolan is being so used by Emily, and he's only happy to help. I wish she would be more considerate towards him. A love triangle between Padma, Nolan & Marco? Yes, please!

Daniel should be careful with his snooping around. He may just uncover something to the public that he may end up regretting. Wouldn't want to ruin your own legacy of Grayson Global in the process of finding out the truth there, Danny.

Is Daniel & Aiden going to steal Nolcorp from Nolan???? Emily would get so pissed! Seriously, they want to claim shares in Nolan's company because of the funding David Clarke did in the company to get it started -- and they can do so because David was hired at Grayson Global at the time? Did I get that right??

Jack/Declan storyline is so boring. It's so obvious that they are being scammed. But WHY would someone want the Stowaway in the shape that it's in???

Conrad's proposal was EPIC! Loved it. Can't wait for all twists at the wedding.

Is Kara good or bad? She looks like a total psycho, but sometimes she comes across as sweet. What's her deal? Wouldn't trust her.

Padma? Ugh! I hope she will do something bad so we can say bye-bye to her!

Aiden is another good or bad character. I don't know where to place him. But I like him, so far.

This show is just WOW!!!!!

Loved how Victoria came back to life. "Beat me up, Conrad" and "You did, and if I were you, I'd start running" to the white-haired man. LOL.

So obvious that Ashley is working with Conrad, possibly sleeping with him too.

Not a fan of the Porter brothers. Declan is just boring, and Jack is meh. Amanda needs to go already.

I am just loving Victoria & Conrad. So nasty, yet so lovable! More with those two!

Not a fan of Charlotte. She comes across as too self-involved trying to be so nice and sweet. I'd prefer it if she was more bitchy. Like she was with Declan's study partner.

Emily needs to do more than just trying to puzzle things together. Get some revenge on other people meanwhile!

Daniel scheming against Victoria is interesting!

I hope we get to see a dysfunctional fun Grayson wedding. That Victoria goes along with whatever Conrad is planning with the re-marriage. I would love to see what would happen if ConVict worked together.

Emily's mom seems crazy as heck. Psycho. What will fake-Emily do when she finds out that mommy dearest isn't so dear afterall?

Nolan is funny. But I don't like him with the new girl Padma. He needs to be smelling Jack more! LOL. Prefer him as gay instead of bi.

And finally, the mystery of the dead body on Jack's boat from season opening. I think it's a recurring character dead. I don't see them killing off any major character. I think the dead person is the creepy guy that Declan & pal tried to rob, who came by the bar. He seemed like he wanted to take over the bar. So why not the boat?

Also, I bet that Conrad isn't as bad as he sometimes appears to be. I think that he's conrolled by higher powers. He only laundered money for the terrorists. He isn't the boss of the terrorist group. Other people are in charge. I think Conrad is forced to play along or else he becomes a target. So to save himself, he has to do horrible things.

I do wonder how much Victoria knows about everything that is going on. How much does Conrad know? How much does Emily's mother (Kara was it?) know?

Sam Behrens (GH/SuBe/Y&R) and wife Shari Belafonte is KolorBlind couple of the month September 2012:

http://kolorblindmag.com/2012/09/01/kolorblind-couple-of-the-month-september-12-shari-belafonte-and-sam-behrens/

What happened to these guys?

Sam Behrens, Clive Robertson, Sarah Buxton, Susan Ward, Shawn Batten, Timothy Adams, Vanessa Dorman, Kam Heskin, Hank Cheyne, Nick Kiriazis, Priscilla Garita, Cristi Harris, Krissy Carlson, Michael Strickland, Nick Stabile, Lisa Guerrero Coles, Kathleen Noone, Christina Chambers, Dominique Jennings, etc etc etc etc of Sunset Beach?

I cannot wait for season 2. I am craving spoilers!!!!!!

I think that if anyone is killed off, it is Lydia. No way it's Victoria, nor do I think Charlotte will die.

A little disappointed that it wasn't Daniel that died, but Josh is a permanent cast member, the guy who played Tyler was only guest starring. And since this was a mid-season reveal, I should not be surprised it was Tyler, not Daniel.

Starting to love Conrad & Victoria together. They keep hating on each other, but IMO they still have SOME love between them. It is often the case that the people who can hate each other most, with most hating passion --- the more they can also love each other! There was some spark between them as they laughed about the size of their house before the bail hearing. BUT, I am sure it will be a long time until they come together again. They are not done with the passionate hating yet.

I hope fake Amanda won't be around too long. Be gone by season 2. I can't stand her.

Unpopular opinion: I never liked the Spectras!

Nope, found Macy boring as heck. Sally was just too much how she trash-talked the Forresters when it was in face SHE who kept stealing and acting entitled. Darla was too ditzy to be believable. Clarke was funny though.

Love these old clips and scans. I have watched B&B for a long long time. I miss Joanna Johnson. Always love when she shows up for a couple of episodes. Stephanie, Eric, Ridge and Caroline were my favorites from when I first began watching. Good times.

Linda Grey was going to play Jackie Marone on B&B but had to turn it down and the role went to Lesley-Anne Down instead. Linda later came on as Priscilla.

Austin Peck has auditioned for B&B.

Erin Hershey Presley was a consideration for a Bridget re-cast on B&B after Jennifer Finnigan left.

I only got to watch 1 year. From episode 1 and a year forward. Then the reruns I was watching stopped airing because of some problem with a new company taking over the rights. That was so annoying because the first year of Santa Barbara was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I especially loved.....

Those 3 are still 3 of my top 10 soap characters of all times. Heck, even top 5. There were scenes with Lane, Nicolas and Louise in scenes together and those are still among my favorite scenes. Such talent and comedy.

Also, the relationship between Mason and CC was extremely fascinating!!!

I loved the humor of SB. It wasn´t like today´s over the top campy silliness. It was a helluva lot more fun. Like when Mason set up an office for himself in a coffee shop and hogged the payphone for himself. Or the shots Mason, Lionel and Augusta fired off at each other or other people.

And I will never forget when Mason outraged at CC stormed into CC & Gina´s bedroom with a sword and threatened his father.

I will forever love SB!!!!!
