Anyone watch House? I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Dr. House without his limp and mostly no pain or drugs. Too bad he caved at the end. What a tense drama with the patients tonight. I was happy about the end with the brain cancer patient, even cried, because it really caught me up in it.

I absolutely love Dr. House - thanks to Hugh Laurie who's utterly brilliant!

Season 1 started off slowly (IMO; the medical cases are somehow really repetitive but I'm usually not into med shows at all though) but with Chi McBride's addition and one of my all-time favorite actresses, Sela Ward, it really skyrocketed. But with so many shows I have problems being up-to-date so I'm just in the process of finishing season 1 whereas FOX is already on the bandwaggon of season 3. Time flies by! ;)

Thankfully those who were teaching House he was not God by playing God themselves, told him the truth. Good show tonight, but my stomach was in knots when they were in the boys brain killing his twin dna. Actually, I've heard of the twins who didn't separate and the child was born with the dna of both twins. None of those were quite this dramatic, though. Lifetime had one about a welfare mom turned down due to one child's dna didn't match hers....turns out she was a genetic twin and when his dna was tested against hers, it was the wrong site to match his. Very interesting story, both of these, but I liked the less dramatic one better.

I thought House was brilliant last week, and the House and Cuddy stuff is SO fantastic. Him talking to her stomach and talking to her like she's pregnant (she totally should be), is so funny!

And eeeeek, it's fake!Sloane!!! Joel Grey is fantastic, and though there was too much focus on Cameron, I loved this week's episode. When House told Cam he was proud of her - such a sweet moment, and for me it really progressed that relationship for what it is and should be. I hope they don't mess it up by making it romantic. He is to her what Ezra and other doctors are to House...

Sorry to bump this topic especially after I was the one who last posted on it but there's something about the show that I need to get off my cheast.I love the show it's one of the few shows in wich all characters are likeable.In The Netherlands we just started with the second series but I've seen most of them online already and I already saw episodes of the thirs season.The show is great except for one thing or better said character namely Stacy.Actually it's not the character that annoys me but the actress who plays her.How come that the only potential love interest House had so far is played by someone who actually has zero chemistry with Hugh Laurie?I loved Sela Ward on "Sisters" and I'm not saying she's a bad actress she's just not right for this part.I know she's gonna leave and I hope the writers don't bring her back.

    • For me she just doesn't really work on Y&R, in part because of the performers around her and the style of the show.  Her second run as Tina did not utilize her in the best way much of the time but I think they did still find some of those softer moments, or Andrea did, and she just fit better with the performers around her. 
    • Didn't Katie call The Nose out a few weeks ago when Katie overheard her talking to Zende? OC, there was absolutely no follow-up. Maybe it'll come out when Daphne returns to drop a surprise on Carter. We all know Carter talking about having a family to Daphne that night is typical B&B foreshadowing. 
    • Unfortunately no….no one can touch Steffy

    • Tamara Tunie was exhilarating today. All her scenes were emotional, touching, and heartbreaking. 
    • This is why they complain cause the other soaps got them brain washed into believing soap stories should drag and drag and drag
    • Bill is about to fall out, lol. Why would Hayley even feel like she had to prove that she was pregnant to Dani? Maybe she likes this non-stop roundabout of drama or perhaps she's triggered because Dani actually was on to something. Anita really was an opportunist and now it's caught up to her. 
    • She was a natural going all the way back to her audition reel.    It's a shame that Rauch and co really amped up the more OTT aspects of Tina's character in the 2nd half of the 80s because Evans proved she could play understated and vunerable without the theatrics. It's also why she was able to slip into playing a recast Patty Williams on Y & R a few short weeks before the climax of the story with Jack Abbott.  She had natural instincts, and knew when the dial it back and when to let loose.  
    • Wow, this was some amazing acting and amazing writing.  And who came up with the idea that Anita would have memorized the letter?  That person deserves an Emmy!  I love it when soap operas do very serious storylines.  So much in the last 40 years on soaps has been done for laughs or as camp.  Its good to see BTG is not afraid to hit the serious notes.  We all knew Anita had a secret, but I never expected this kind of tragedy was behind it.  
    • Finally... the show is giving TT some material to play and I like that Anita isn't coming off as so innocent.   Although I do think so far that the story is mirroring the Supremes just a bit too much with Tracy as Mary, Sharon as Florence, Anita as Diana, and Dante (name?) as Berry.  Andre... run far away from Dani because she isn't over Bill and you're far too good to settle for being second choice.  The fact that I've read comments on other forums stating that Dani just needs the love of a good man makes me think a double standard is at play here.   If the shoe was on the other foot, viewers would be telling Dani not to settle for being second best and to find someone who would put her first.... but since the person in that position is a man, that doesn't apply.   Misandry at it's best. That said, the twist of Naomi and Hayley both witnessing Bill's latest health flare up and being on the same side was nice.   I doubt this will repair their friendship... but it would be nice if the two learned to co-exist on a civil level.   The Dani/Hayley scene was not needed and was the writers attempt to prop Dani.  MVJ certainly  learned about character propping from the Bell soaps. And I guess that Andre/Derek/Ashley is still a thing... or it was at the time this episode was being filmed.  From what I understand.. both Derek and Ashley were one of the characters featured in MVJ's story bible and I'd be curious one day to see what the write ups for both characters were in the intial character pitches (we know that Vanessa was originally named Stacy and was supposed to be AA and more level headed.... so I wonder if perhaps Derek and Ashley had a different write up/vision that changed during casting).   In the 2nd episode of the series, it was established aht Leslie knew Ashley.  She was with Jan and Eva wishing Ashley good luck on her first day nursing.. and all were chummy.
    • Yep, another good episode with a powerful and emotional ending!   I'm really enjoying learning more about Anita's storyline, as they make small reveals each episode. It's also nice not being spoiled about these reveals! It was nice seeing Leslie interact with Derek/Ashley - keep mixing these characters and building a community, it's great. I had to LOL at Derek and Ashley studying the menu though, these people eat at Orphey Gene's every day, surely they have the menu memorized by now haha. Maybe these girls will finally make Bill figure out his problem.
