I find it funny that people always say something along the lines of, "Marlena got possessed and started levitating" (likely because it's one of the most memorable things about the storyline), but the actual levitation didn't happen until at least 6 months after the start of the story and was part of the climax/finale. There is an episode where Marlena is growling as the exorcism begins and it's genuinely scary/creepy. But Caroline's armchair rocking/scaring her was hilarious, and it wasn't meant to be. Peck is starting to develop some really hot chemistry with Clarke. When he kisses her, you half-expect him to rip off her clothes and take her right there LOL It's good to see Sami back. I love when Billie and Austin talk about their past; it really works. Funny how Peter spoke of Aremid and going there with Jennifer the next day for a trip. It's been 2 days (in show's universe) since then, and no mention of it.... Guess Reilly either just wanted to introduce it or came up with something else he'd rather do first.

Without a doubt - it's outrageous material, but the cast, and the writing, are 100% committed to it. I saw the scene you're talking about just the other day -- It's just as John enters the room to begin the exorcism and Marlena does her 'parlor trick.' That hair was giving an Oscar-worthy performance!

Is it really a mullet, though? It's definitely very 80s but looks more like helmet hair ala Bobby Ewing. In any case, the sexiness wasn't affected all that much by the hair I guess... although he did look even hotter when he finally trimmed it. You've quoted someone else with my words, @j swift. This isn't really what I was talking about -- I was more making a note about Hogestyn's performance, which can vary wildly from decent to laugh-out-loud hilarious. On the other hand, from what little I've seen from the second half of Reilly's first run, I agree he probably stretched things out too much... but I'll have to see how I feel once I properly watch it all.

Oh, I agree! I've seen the first 3 seasons and an episode here and there from others, and always found it enjoyable, so I wasn't really putting the show down. It's just that Season 7 of FC doesn't have a particularly good reputation and I was always under the impression KL was second after DALLAS/DYNASTY in terms of ratings and FC was third. Perhaps that was true of earlier seasons.

Halfway through May 1995. Kristen has become convinced Marlena is possessed and is trying to convince John as well. Eileen Davidson is giving an absolutely brilliant performance. My God. She brings a ton of energy, knows exactly how to handle the complicated, hard-to-get-right scenes she's had to play, and is basically the #1 reason to watch. Not a single false note. Just jaw-droppingly good. I think it's some of the best acting on a soap I've ever seen. Deirdre is also clearly having fun. Now that Kristen is on to the Devil, Kristen and 'Marlena' have had to act like enemies and the chemistry is off the charts. I wonder if this is when Reilly decided Kristen and Marlena should have a feud. How could you resist? Meanwhile, John is as sexy as ever but Hogestyn trying to act like he's incredibly tormented by his attraction to Marlena which he MUST RESIST is so, so, so hilarious. He plays it as if he's having an appendicitis attack! Still, in most moments he remains charming, competent, and incredibly hot.

It's really bizarre to me to see FALCON CREST not only so close to KNOTS LANDING, but sometimes doing better too! I guess that post-DALLAS slot really was a great thing for them!

I was going to post this amazingness too!!!! So, so hot.

A sonic masterpiece.
