My favorite new show! :D

I'm loving the SL.

Skeet Ulrich is doing great in the lead role, and he's a hunk too(when is he gonna get his shirt off?). :D

I can't wait to see where this one goes. It certainly makes you think about the effect of a major nuclear war on the world.

"Jericho" and "Smith" are my favorite new shows. I'm really wrapped up in "Jericho." There's so many questions, especially with that guy Hawkins who seems to know a whole lot and is being very secretive.

This last episode was good. I wonder what Hawkins is up to? He seems to be a good guy, but is just keeping secrets for whatever reason. It seems like he and the mayor's son (can't think of his name) have both been in the military or at least had some kind of military like training. I want to know what he was going to tell his father, before his father said it wasn't necessary for him to know.

That would be Jake Green. Jake and Hawkins seem to be the only two characters I can remember by name. Generally, I've never been good at remembering names of characters on primetime shows, even those that I watch all the time. Yet, somehow, I can name every character and actor names of all four soaps that I watch. LOL!

Jake and Hawkins are by far the most interesting characters. Every week, I'm dying to find out more about their back stories. When Jack's father stopped him from spilling what he had been up to while away from Jericho, I wanted to yell at the TV. LOL!

If you want to get more insight into Hawkins and what he knows and been up to on his computer, check out this week's Jericho's on-line supplement, "Countdown."

Also, did you know that during the opening titles of each episode, there is a different Morse code message related to that particular episode? So far, they have been:

Ep. 1 - "Jericho Pilot"

Ep. 2 - "Jericho Fallout"

Ep. 3 - "Jericho Three"

Ep. 4 - "He Knows Rob"

Ep. 5 - "There Is a Fire"

Ep. 6 - "The EMP Hits"

Thanks for the link crc. I think it's easier to remember names in daytime because we see those characters everyday for years. I found the supplement pretty chilling as I do the whole show. It's been awhile since I've thought of a nuclear attack as a real possibility, but of course it is.

I'm pretty convinced that Hawkins is a good guy, although it might be more interesting if he isn't. I wonder how he knew what was going to happen and why he didn't warn people? Maybe it was unstoppable and he didn't want to cause a panic. If he really was working for the otherside why not get out of Dodge? In fact, even if he was loyal to the US why not get his family out of Dodge, even if he wanted to stay and help himself. Unless, no where else is any safer. Maybe it's not so much a nuclear attack, as a world wide nuclear war.

I didn't know about the morse code message either. I like it when shows have those extra little things to figure out.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
