Another great show tonight.

It was very Tommy-centric, which is ok as we rarely get to know him. I loved the flashbacks to the dad, William, and Tommy - it is all making sense now. I'm looking forward to Tommy and Holly working together....oh and nice to finally meet Rebecca! I think I'm going to like her!!!

I'm finally warming up to Joe. I was always on the fence with him, but after tonight, I'm totally feeling him. I feel so bad for him and Sarah and their marriage. Oh and thank you TPTB for bringing back the Noah storyline that seemed to have been dropped from the premiere.

Chad/Kevin - aww, I don't know what to think about these two. I really hope Michelle was just saying that - I don't want Chad to end up being the bad guy here. I feel for Kevin and his mixed emotions! Btw, that last kiss of theirs was HOT and very graphic for a gay male kiss...I'm impressed ABC. :)

Finally they re-visted Sarah and Joe's marital problems and the fact that Tommy and his wife are expecting, now twins. This show tends to drop storylines for months then bring them back. Glad they did though. It was a good episode. Rachel Griffiths rocks! I am seriously cheering her on for a supporting actress emmy in September! She was easily the best performer tonight.

I think Kevin/Chad is done. Kevin deserves better. Scottie was a little b!tch. And Chad seems like a prick.

Griffiths' was excellent tonight. I definitely cite her as tonight's MVP. I loved how they brought back up Noah too. Joe was good too.

Tommy is finally having a purpose, but I don't know. He bores me.

Sorry guys, but Sarah's marriage counselor was HORRIBLY miscast.

I kept sitting there thinking, "That's Saul's long-lost brother -- or somehow, that's the actor who plays Saul."

I don't know why they had to cast a man who looked like the actor's brother. HORRIBLE MOVE, ABC!!! You're IDIOTS for signing on THAT line, Mr. or Mrs. executive in charge of production!!

I found tonight's episode a bit hard to watch after the action-packed DH. But it was still good.

Kevin bores me so much. I'm with DruRocks: I think Kevin/Chad is over, but I hope they don't bring back Scottie...again.

It was nice to see Tommy get some depth. He always seemed as if he was just floating around, and now we saw that he feels as if he's just floating around while Sarah takes over the company, etc.

I know! I was like Whoa! How in the hell is this getting past the bible thumping censors? I'm so glad they are not shying away from it. This is the first show to portray the "gay character" as a real person with real issues and a real love life, and not use them for comedic purposes. BRAVO!

This perfect scene keeps popping into my mind.... Chad gets nominated for a Daytime Emmy and Kevin escorts him to the Emmy's, of course he wins, and during his acceptance speech, he tells the world he is gay and loves Kevin. :wub: If only..

Griffiths is AMAZING!!!

Bite your tongue Jsf. :P Don't you know who that was???? That was the amazing Oscar/GoldenGlobe/Tony award winning Joel Grey! :D

I'm with Rick about Joel Grey! Come on, you can't do much better than a Tony- and Oscar-winning actor in such a small part.

ITA that Rachel Griffiths owned the episode.

I still don't care for Tommy, don't know why but I don't connect with his emotions like I do the rest of the cast.

My Kevin is making a huge mistake with Chad, imo. Bi guys in my experience tend to flip flop between men and women. Kevin can't expect Chad to settle down.

Kitty's poll numbers are going to remain low if she keeps moping about them.

I think I'm going to like Rebecca, too. It might just be because she was so cheerful compared to the rest of the Walkers, but she seemed refreshingly different and I think she'll add some fun to the show.

ITA Rick! It is so refreshing to see a gay character portrayed in a realistic sense on primetime TV. That was such a long hot kiss between the two of them! I was thinking OMG they let that air? I just remember Justin and Andrew's kiss on DH the way the lighting was and the camera angles, you couldn't really see anything. This was right up and in your face. EEEEEE! Brothers & Sisters is the best damn show on television I swear!

ALIAS REUNION!!!! How fun to see Patricia Wettig, Balthazar Getty, Joel Grey and Ron Rifkin on the same show again! I miss Alias. They should bring on Jennifer Garner as a competator of Ojai to go head to head with Saul, reverse the roles for JG and RR.

Dude, fake!Sloane is NEVER wrong!

Yay! HOLLY FAN! I love Patricia Wettig, have since I first saw her on Alias.

Loved seeing Rebecca walk in there at the end, and Holly and Tommy's "Oh crap" faces... Then when she said "He's so cute!" I just felt "ewewewew, brother, ewewewewew!"...

Rachel Griffiths is such a phenomenal performer. Love her.

B&S is one of those shows that will never get it's well-deserved praise from the media.

      Which is still a form of manipulation. Granted it won't work because Ted isn't interested in Leslie at all no matter how much she tries to make him look like a horrible person. When you consider the situation with Hayley it does make sense why Anita would take that approach.

      Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

      Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

      I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
