Vanished will be on tonight and we'll get the first look at Eddie. I wasn't impressed with him but will give him a chance to win me. Most likely the show won't continue as what would happen after Sarah is found or the truth of her abduction is resolved. I love the show, though.

Vanished was not on due to the ballgame last Friday but it was back with a bang tonight. Excellent show. I loved it and think it was a huge improvement on the previous episodes.

OMG, that man slit his own throat. He committed suicide to keep the FBI from learning anything from him. so now I wonder who will be the leader of that pack or if he was not the only leader. It was good to see Sarah actually. What are they really after?

I love this mystery and it has the excitement, mystery and good looking, believable cast to make it work in my judgment. Thankfully, it seems the network will complete the series.

Well, DFJ, my Vanished days have vanished. Kelton is dead, dead, dead. He was shown in the morgue and Esai Morales put up his picture on the fallen heroes wall at the end of the show.

I like Eddie Cibrian, but he is just not a replacement for Gale Harold. I predict this show will disappear sooner rather than later. Killing off the character most people tuned in to see was not too smart and the schedule change makes things worse.

This makes me angry but it has happened to many viewers before and will happen again.

Vanished was not on tonight so I went on line to check the website and found out that the last four episodes will be shown on line. I just viewed Episode 10: The Cell . It was really good, very intriguing and getting to where we can see where the story is coming from and where it is going. I'm loving Eddie Cibran in this role. Here is the link if you want to keep up with the show.

We know that the Senator's daughter is pregnant and that she had an affair with the Judge who is up for Supreme Court (or some such hope you know what I'm saying). In this episode, we learn that she tells that Judge that the baby is his and she is going public with that information if he doesn't withdraw his nomination immediately. She called Judy (the reporter) and is supposed to go on the air in the next episode. Meanwhile she has started hemmoraging ..... that was the end of this episode, so don't know if she will make the broadcast.

We see Sara in her cell and then a woman is calling her through the ventilator. She has been a prisoner there for several months. Sare is being exposed to altered messages that seem to say that her husband claims her disappearance is the best thing that has happened to him due to all the positive feedback from all the publicity....ugh. Sara's not buying though. We got to see flashbacks of when they met, when he proposed....all so romantic.

We learned that this could be the survivors of an original religious cult and that their purpose is so secret that they kill to keep it secret. The woman in the cell next to Sara is the wife of a doctor who is on death row and sentenced to be executed in four days for her murder along with his whole research staff. He is supposed to be mad, but Cibran visits him and tells him he knows his secret and he knows he did not murder his wife as he has a recent picture of her. He tells the doctor that the judge who is up for the Supreme Court will find in the favor of a defendant that has broad reachiing effects, one being that this man will be pardoned and released whereby the cult will grab him and do whatever prison has protected him from.

I don't remember character's names well and will look again to see if Wiki has Vanished yet.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
