I love this show!

Calista rocked this episode. I swear, she's going to get an Emmy nomination.....if the show doesn't tank. LOL

Now that's what you call a series premiere cliffhanger!!

It's great to have another family drama on TV and the cast is spectacular.

Please let the ratings be good!!

I agree. WAY too many brothers ... and it's nice they all look alike, but god ... one of them is totally forgettable. Keep the gay one and the druggie ... get rid of the other one, LOL, or give him a personality.

The first half WAS slow. I was kinda bored, but hopefully the last half hour caught people. I'm really crossing my fingers but I dread getting my hopes up.

I loved that they were fighting over Calista's character's views and as a result of her views, her brother going into war which resulted in him becoming an addict. I love that its not a fight over something stupid and absurd. It was great

I wasn't going to tape it because I'm already watching 4 hours of TV on Sunday nights....but I did anyway and just finished watching it and I LOVED IT!

I loved the family...I loved how they are all connected and believe in different things.

I'm a little worried that people may be turned off by the politics involved, but so far it seems like it's been given equal representation, if you know what I mean.

I was sad to see Tom Skerrit leave too - I figured he's stay on for awhile since he's a big name and the father of the family. That really took me by surprise.

EDIT: I just read that article about the bad reviews and the backstage uproar. I'm a little surprised bc I really thought it was good....hopefully ratings were good and it becomes a hit - bc I love the characters and actors already.

I have to agree that the politics didn't turn me off at ALL. I agree that they gave 'equal representation' to both sides. What I don't get, however, is which members of this family are conservative and which are liberal. I think the gay one is liberal, Kitty is clearly conservative and that one brother who said 'I'm with you, sis' is clearly conservative, but the others...eh...no idea. And I need to know that information.

I also agree that there are too many brothers. I can only vividly remember the gay one and the promiscuous/drunk/war vet. I'm sure there was another, and maybe a fourth? WOW.

Anyway, SO shocked about the father's death. Did not see that coming AT ALL.

Hope the ratings are good. This is a great vehicle for Calista. I've been waiting for her return to TV since "Ally McBeal"

    • I feel like AMC would be the easiest of their soaps to revive but a reboot seems cursed at this point. I wish we had more insight on what was pitched for the primetime reboot as well as these movies. That would give us a better idea of why it keeps getting shot down.
    • Mansion of the Damned sure is a "talkative" horror movie.  In the past when I've watched those episodes, I was paying attention to The Edge of Night characters and not really zeroing in on the rehearsals/blocking/filming of the actual movie.  This time I've been following the plot of Mansion of the Damned pretty closely, and all I can say is Hester Atherton and Nicholas Harriman are about the most chit-chatty Witch and Devil I've ever heard in my life!     
    • Ashley and Derek have been so isolated that I need the show to develop something, anything to justify their presence. It's not that I think Joey being her father will be the greatest story ever told but at least it would be something and connect her to more characters. I just need the show to move forward with them. Out of all the characters, these are the only two with no storyline/development. We have recurring characters who are better used with less screentime. If the show is going to keep them on contract they need to do something with them.
    • I never thought I'd say it, but SC is B&B's best male actor - by far. SK is next. Has there ever been a US soap that has so much female talent surrounding by Himbos? KKL, JMW, HT, KB, AN, RB could be/have been leading ladies on any other soap. Even the secondary females are the ones who carry their scenes. It's been rare periods when B&B actually had a few solid male cast members. JMW really did a great job in the scenes with AN. Considering everything we've witnessed the past couple of years with Steffy/Hope, I thought reveal may ring hollow. JMW proved me wrong. No doubt this is Emmy material.
    • You won't even accept a minute cameo from Ms Marcil herself so she can collect her cheque?
    • Which has also slowed down from 100 pages a day, but I digress.

          Yeah. When even I am getting annoyed with it (and still need to catch up on DAYS new team...two weeks behind now grrr) enough to take a break...and B&B holds my interest more for a show where nothing is going on...it's a BAD sign.   Seriously thinking about that break until

       Then we go from there. I just can't believe JG just went and lost all the momentum that was built up over the last month. And during May Sweeps, too? No, ma'am.
    • Works for me!!! Just the back of some brunettes head and a hug lol on the Island And also, I like how it's brand new info Mo was good at his job in the 90's.  That's pretty much the entire reason he's still on the show.
    • I recently edited an older episode to do a Denise Alexander edit but Mo was in scenes & I had forgotten that back then he was actually good at his job.  The contrast with today is well alarming.
