Okay I did say it was okay for nora to date, but not to start sleeping around, now thats way too soon.imo I can't wait till rebecca shows up. I loved Sarahs line to Saul,"You got a decision to make, old man." In reference to Sarah saying to holly, "stay away from my family." An what the heck is up with the bombed out wigs, first dixie carter has one on Dh(or was that her hair?) and now they got sally in that awful wig in the flashbacks. An Holly has alot of nerve saying William would leave Nora and his kids if he knew they shared a child together, I would think William would tell his wife and try to handle the situation as best as possible, but in no way do I think he would of left Nora and the kids. Holly the man strung you a long for 15 years, all of his kids are adults, and he still didn't leave Nora for you tramp.

No wonder William was cheating on Nora...she looked a hot mess with that hair back in the day! lol - nice seeing more of Tom Skerritt though.

Great episode...I'm loving the war stuff - and the guy who plays Justin is so good in his role.

Again, loved this episode - but have 2 complaints:

--How dare Holly assume that William would completely leave and abandon his 5 kids and wife just bc he had 1 other kid with his mistress? I don't think so.

--I was loving Sarah's scenes with her stepson and trying to make him feel included into the family...but then it totally got ruined when she realized what the password could be. The scene should have ended with a hug or something - but they totally ruined the scene there at the end. Hopefully they touch back on the story.

I can't say it enough - this cast is amazing. Love the storytelling.

Justin is one of my faves, I'm feeling everyone except Tommy. They really need to loosen him up or something. That Gabe kid is a cutie, he needs to be on more. I really hope they find a way to get justin out of going back to war, because he's the best actor out of the men, we can't lose him.

Sally Field is so amazing. When she grabbed on to Justin and told him to wake up was wonderfully acted. It took me back to earlier on the year with Stephanie and Felicia on B&B. Good episode, but I think the guy who plays Kevin is the best actor on the show. He reminds me of Michael Baldwin on Y&R, without the shadiness. I can totally see Chrsitian Leblanc doing justice to that character. Hopefully that is the last we see of Hotel Lady, can't stand her. I love the actress who plays Holly! I was disappointed with the Holly/Sarah confrontation though. I expected more, B&S needs to write better confrontations.

I'm sick of prissy lets-talk-about-our-feelings over sensitive Queen Scotty. :rolleyes:

LMAO at Nora's wig. :lol:

Anyone catch the AWFUL bow Sarah was wearing when she greeted Kitty back in '01?

-IMO, it's wayyyyyyy too soon for Nora to move on with someone else. I'd be OK with it if it had happened around February or so.

-I don't care what happens to Tommy. :mellow:

This show just effin rocks. Loved last nights episodes and agree with everything that has been said about reliving 9/11 and how we all felt that day. I find it interesting that this episode aired directly after the USA elections, coincidence, I think not ;) I wonder since Kitty is a Neo-Con, if they will make mention of the switch in power in Washington. Great show.

Excellent episode, imo it was the best one yet!

Sorry, but WTF is Nora doing???????

Even if William was cheating on her, she still loved him for how many years? I still think it's way too soon for her to be done grieving him, and sleeping with another man? No way!

ITA that the Sarah/Holly confrontation wasn't that powerful, but I think when Nora finds out the fireworks will really fly.

Holly must be a narcissist to think William would have left his whole family for her and Rebecca. I don't think so!

Having said that, I loved the 9/11 flashbacks. Now we know what Kitty said to Justin that caused him to enlist and it was much less political and more personal than I had expected.

I also loved the scenes with Sarah and her stepson.

I'm over Scotty now. He was a total a-hole to Kevin at the end, imo. Kevin should find someone more emotionally stable.

Yeah, I'm sure Holly/Nora will have a better confrontation. Atleast I hope so. I want to see Sally Field go postal on Patricia Wettig ass :lol: Both are great actresses and I know if given the right material, it could be a real clash of the titans.

I also like Nora's stepson.

Add me to the anti-Scotti list. Hopefully this is the last we see of him.

The thing about Justin is that Dave Annable has such expressive eyes, that you can feel the emotions by just watching him.

I wonder how the original actress would have played the character of Nora?

    • Lol! I'm quite sure it would. 
    • But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.
    • re: prior two posts about Trump's new opulent plane contrasted with utter starvation in Gaza... Trump and Netanyahu are giving "Let them eat cake".  And it's horrific. In 2013, Pope Francis removed a bishop from running the Limburg Germany diocese because he was constructing an opulent 31-million-euro building. This is from Reuters obit of Francis: https://www.reuters.com/world/obituary-pope-francis-shook-up-church-with-simplicity-raising-conservative-ire-2025-04-21/ From the start, Francis sent clear signals to priests and bishops about the type of Church he wanted. He said there was no room for "careerists or social climbers" among the clergy, told cardinals they should not live "like princes," and said the Church should not "dissect theology" in lush salons while there were poor people around the corner. "If investments in banks fall, it is a tragedy and people say 'what are we going to do?' but if people die of hunger, have nothing to eat or suffer from poor health, that's nothing. This is our crisis today. A Church that is poor and for the poor has to fight this mentality," he said early in his papacy. -- Pope Francis stood up for the poor, the unhoused, the migrants of all faiths.  He lived simply and ordered that when he died, that he wished to be interred in a simple wooden coffin. I sincerely hope that the new pope Leo will follow Francis' example.
    • Co Sign!!!!   I have been watching the show regularly over the last few weeks and am pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is to watch each day. This definitely is confirmation for me that Paula and Jeanne wrote the stroke episodes, cause I felt the same way watching those. Could be more exciting for sure, but interactions now make more sense and everything seems to be a bit more character driven which is great. I will add though, there are still about 10 or so characters i'd love to see gone, and hope a few will exit in the future! Otherwise, happy with the changes so far. 
    • Sean Freeman looks good in anything. Would not change one thing. Arielle Prepetit looking cute.

    • There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in Gaza https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrv5rl73zdo Quoting excerpts from BBC article: The baby's mother Najwa, 23, is changing Siwar's nappy. She weighs just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be around or over 6kg. "There was no food when I gave birth to her," says Najwa. "If I wanted to feed myself so I could breastfeed her, I had no nutrients to make my health better... She now only drinks formula milk, and we don't know how we'll be able to provide it for her." Israel has banned international journalists from entering Gaza to report independently. According to Siwar's doctor, Ziad al-Majaida, "Nothing enters through the borders, no milk, food or anything. This leads to big problems here for the kids. This baby needs a specific type of milk. It was available before, but because of the border closure, the stocks have run out for a while now." Since the beginning of the year, according to the UN, about 10,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children have been identified. Food prices have rocketed by as much as 1,400%. Charity kitchens, which have helped hundreds of thousands of Gazans, are shutting as food supplies run out. Twenty-five bakeries supported by the World Food Programme have been forced to close. Israel cut off all humanitarian aid and other supplies from entering Gaza on 2 March, and resumed its military offensive two weeks later The United Nations has said the Israeli blockade constitutes "a cruel collective punishment" on civilians. The UN's humanitarian director, former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, said that international law was unequivocal. "As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in... Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip," he warned. From the BBC reporter: I put this point to Boaz Bismuth, a leading member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. He (Bismuth) denies there is an aid crisis caused by the blockade. "There is food in Gaza... Israel wouldn't do such a restriction if the population didn't have food. I mean, I know my country perfectly well," he (Bismuth) said. BBC reporter: I put it to Bismuth that he was denying the evidence of people's eyes, that children were starving. "There are not starving children. I repeat again." He (Bismuth) said that there had been allegations months ago of famine, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza "which was crap". ----  ----  ---- A UK-based advocacy group for Israel has the nerve to claim war may reduce obesity in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/10/uk-lawyers-for-israel-condemned-over-claim-war-may-reduce-obesity-in-gaza
    • Joel Crothers would have been perfect as Owen (maybe because Margo wasn't too far off Denise). A shame he couldn't have played a dual role. Eliot did have more room to grow. I wonder if whatever allegedly happened with Denny Albee played a part in both their exits.
    • Andre is the standout in the cast among the males when it comes to fashion.
    • Happy Mother's Day 2025!
