I can't say how much I just love this show...

I love the interaction between all the siblings. Tonight my favorite was Justin and how he got Sarah's little girl to accept the shots. Then he taught Sarah how to give shots - that was so warm and first time we've seen those two really interact on a familial level.

For the first time, I actually liked Kevin's new boyfriend - and the direction their relationship went tonight was good. I definitely relate more to Kevin - and it was nice to see his reaction to the PDA kiss at the restaurant - and then having the two try to understand each other. I am happy to see that ABC is willing to do a gay relationship/storyline justice and give it prominent screentime in a straight-oriented family drama.

I'm getting the feeling that the older brother has/is more of a bully older brother. I wish we could see more of him, as he is the only character that really hasn't been established or seen in a large capacity. Although, next week it looks like he finally gets his own personal storyline with his wife. Looking forward to that...

I loved the end when Kitty slept in Nora's bed. I just love Sally Field and Calista in this show.

That intern - what has she been in? I've definitely seen her before - just can't put my finger on it...I'm thinking Nip/Tuck - but I need a refresher on what character she played. WAIT - she was the girl in the 1st season that Matt ran over! I knew she looked familiar.

Great episode!

Well, first of all, can I say how much Treat Williams did NOT look like himself at first?! Wow, I was pleasantly surprised when I realized, "Hey, that's that guy from 'Everwood'!!!!!!"

Now, having said that, I did NOT enjoy the way he minced no words to tell Nora they were not on a date. Jerk!

As for Jonathon and Kitty, it that actor on contract? I don't know. Either way, I just get the feeling that we haven't seen the last of him. I mean look at the "Grey's Anatmony" love triangle we've gotten...just because there's been a one-night stand and perhaps an affair of the heart, doesn't mean the character involved with all that on this show is toast.

One thing I didn't like (or get) in this episode was Nora's speech about Jonathon's serving peasant food while he discusses the millions he handles. Um, Nora, that's basically getting mad at the guy because he's rich. And guess what, girlfriend? Look at your HOUSE. Look at your lawn and that pool in the backyard? You're RICH, too! So what's the point in hating on a brotha just because he has money? It makes you a H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E.

Why did she let him stay at the house again? They should have explained that better.

I adore this show. Mostly because of Sally Field and Calista Flockhart. Plus it's a dream of mine to see Cal playing a Republican. :wub:

This show just keeps getting better each week, imo.

I'm so glad Kitty finally dumped Jonathan. I loved the scene between her and her mother where they talked about all Kitty's boyfriends being similar to her father.

It's way too early for Nora to date anyone, but I hope she maintains a friendship with Treat Williams character (David?).

I relate well to Kevin, too, alwaysAMC, and I was thrilled that ABC let Kevin & Scotty kiss twice in one episode. I hope their relationship continues to develop. They're my favorite couple on this show.

I'm concerned about Justin giving the insulin shots, primarily because he might show up drunk or stoned to give one. I thought it was ironic that what most would consider his weakness, i.e. drugs, gave him knowledge about syringes that the rest of the family didn't have.

I think her point was that he was being pretentious by telling them about the food, which came from a poor country, because the people there have to eat it since they have no other choice.

Yes, she's also rich, but I get the feeling that she donates money to help the poor while he helps other rich people get richer.

This show always has a pivitol scene for each week. There is always one (or more) memorable scenes were the actors and actresses are just amazing in them.

The cast is all around amazing and I like pretty much all of the characters except that third brother the one that works along Sarah he does nothing for me and I don't care for him.

I have to say I'm loving the druggie more and more each eppie. I heart the actor he is soo adorable and sweet and I love his portrayal. When he just got in there and helped out his neice who didn't love him there? who was that masked man was right! :)

Kitty and her love triangle wore thin. I really can't take her with Jonathan nor her back and forth with he co-anchor on the show.

Sarah has really roped me in. I'm sympathetic to her in all of her troubles. The mother is alittle over bearing but I still like her didn't care for her scenes with her contractor.

Loving the Scotty and Kevin's romance too adorable.

I agree with you - at first he was the stereotypical "flaming queen" gay that had to try to get the straighter-acting gay to bring out his sexuality - whatever. He's brought the act down a little bit and doesn't seem so stereotypical - and has become easier to handle.

Go Nora!!! I knew we haven't seen the last of Treat Williams. I hope they shack up.lol I'm still pissed that Saul is still parading the skank around in Nora's face. Tommy is still bland, I just don't see the actor getting any better. :( Loved the Nora and Sarah scenes, espeically when Sarah said,"you rock mom." An that guy that tried to hit on Nora was a downgrade, glad she didn't reciprocate any of his advances. What was up with Justin's dates hair, it was a hot mess!

Loved tonight's episode. I like it when the entire family gets together.

I've been waiting for some major Sarah/Nora scenes, bc usually it is always Kitty/Nora....what great scenes they were! I loved the end, how Nora told Sarah just how much she means to her.

I like Justin's boss/new girlfriend to be. I think she'll be good for him.

Loved Kevin's stuff tonight - he learned something and I rooted for him at the end when the boss tried to fire Scotty.

FINALLY we get some story for the older brother Tommy. I felt bad for the guy. I like Julia, his wife - I just wish they would have given her a good introduction. I'm sure with the backstage mess in the beginning, it got scrapped somehow.

    • Sonny, a week or two after having open heart surgery, walking around with his shirt unbuttoned to a V neck,  showing no signs of stitches or even a scar..
    • Not hugely surprising, but still another awful blow for GH and soap history in general. Denise was a pioneer on several shows. Others have said everything far more eloquently than me, so I'm just echoing them here. I do wish more of her DAYS work was available - I always wanted to see them honor her again - but I am glad so much of her GH run is.
    • RIP Denise!!

        I’m sadly not as familiar with her work as most on here are, but I always hate seeing another icon leave us! 
    • I'm thinking he's much older than the age he's playing and botoxed the hell out if his face - that's why it doesn't move. Source: I saw him in a 2012 episode of CSI. Not only was he already in his 20s, but his face moved back then.
    • I didn’t even think of that OMG Tomas not even pretty enough to make taking his “acting” palpable. And his two potential love interests are played by these genuinely charismatic actresses

      . I think Martin’s flying off the handle so much is intentional and plays into the secret. The family seems to know theres some rage issues there.
    • I see a pattern here.

    • I liked when Felicia was over the top and was more Felicia the writer than Felicia the mother figure. Personal taste as always. For me, Felicia was AW to me. She was one of the few constants on a show that was constantly changing.  RIP Denise Alexander. I always liked her on the show despite her storyline never reaching its full potential. The sad thing is I would watch that storyline in a second over so much of what happened on AW from 1986 onwards. Strangely, youtube recommended a AW episode to me last night that involved Mary comforting Scott about Dawn. I really do wish they had found a way to make those two characters work long term.

    • Yes, I like him too. He is a good actor, and I agree with your comments about his personality. I also want to add, I think that he comes across as realistic and IMO sane. Yeah, he's done some bad things, but he seems pretty in control for the most part and not the least bit crazy. I appreciate that type of behavior in someone who can behave like a villain. And I continue to buy that he really does love his daughters. Unlike Leslie who seems to only use and mistreat Eva, I have seen Bill soften when it comes to his daughters. And I do believe he would do what he felt he had to do to protect them. His love for his children, helps make him more layered as a character. I really enjoyed his scenes with Dani today. I enjoyed the show today. I thought that the scenes with Nicole being comforted by both her parents including them switching out to comfort her were sweet and cute. I particularly enjoyed her scenes with Vernon. I love her relationship with her parents. I also liked Tomas/Eva scenes. He genuinely seems to care about her, and I am interested in seeing how things will play out between them and him and Kat.
    • Dani really got on my nerves. Her own life is a total disaster, yet she interferes with everyone else's. What could she possibly say to Ted that will change anything? That will help anyone? And as you said, while she bashes Bill, she wants him back -- all the while knowing who he is and who he's been for years. None of these scenes are pushing me to appreciate Dani. -- OTOH, Bill got some very good shots in at Dani. He won that face-off. -- June is just a ball of cliches and stereotypes to this point. I hope this goes somewhere. -- Martin flies off the handle much too easily, but I did appreciate that he grew calm and subdued, and even sad, with Ted. -- I'm glad Tomas is pretty, because damn, that acting. -- I'm glad Derek looks so good in tight jeans, because damn, that acting. -- LMAO at Leslie gaining entrance to Nicole's house because Nicole wanted the front door ajar so Door Dash could leave her takeout.
