They should of started off the season with a bigger bang than that, they do have big competition now with CSI. I liked the episode, but I definantly think CSI won in the ratings tonight, if they didn't I'll be shocked. Next week looks great, poor christina having to go up against Burk's mom(Dianhn Caroll). YIKES!!!! :mellow:

I have to admit that I didn't really like the first episode. It may just be the season premiere blues, but nothing grabbed me like I thought was going to happen. I didn't get to see the season finale in May or the syndicated one either so I'm a little lost. Hopefully, things will pick up by Episode 2. Looks like Burke's mother comes to town and isn't fond of Christina.

IA with those that say there was not much to talk about. It seemed like a March kind of episode instead of a September one. For a show that is so big on the bang I expected something more well... bangin! LOL. In any case, It was still excellent. Definitely no drop in quality or interest value. Just... a bit not what I would've wanted after not seeing it for so long!!

What i liked was the flashbacks to back in the day. I think the show has finally established itself where flashbacks are important to us!!

I hope it does well. I've never seen CSI, and am not interested in it and think that GA is a great competitor for it!!

I'm so glad it's back, but ITA that this was just a good episode, not a great one.

Meredith continues to waffle.

Izzy's grief wasn't given enough time, imo.

I didn't care for the Bailey/Omar subplot. It seemed out of character to me for her to give up so much of her time for one patient whom she really couldn't even treat.

Burke & Christina were barely on.

I did love the flashbacks, though. How funny for Meredith to recall her mom & Richard's breakup, which she probably didn't understand at the time. It was great to see the mixer where the residents first met, imo. Best of all for me, was seeing how hurt Derek really was by Addison's affair.

I have no idea how a parent doesn't notice that a 14-year-old is pregnant, but if half the talk shows on the air can be believed, it has happened.

Poor George still couldn't bring himself to say "I love you" when he doesn't feel it yet. In a way, I can't blame him.

Wow, was this the first time Derek told Meredith he's in love with her? I was hoping she'd chose McVet, but it looks like McDreamy might win out.

Next week looks fantastic from the preview!

I thought the premiere was great. It started off kind of slow but the ending was amazing.

Addison at the end when she put the panties on the bulletien board :o wasn't expecting that. I think she knows. The flashbacks were amazing. Loved the Derk and Meredith one as well as the one with Addison and Derek and the one with Izzie and Kerev.

Meredith has Mcvet and Mcdreamy vying for her affections now. I liked Cali and George in this episode and I usually dislike them.

At the end with Christina and Burke amazing acting. She just broke down and said don't ever die. Which was new she almost never breaks down and she did after Danny's death. Seeing Izzie's struggle was a good underlying theme. Izzie and Mere have the best friednship chemistry there scenes were really good. Ellen almost never cries or give much emotion but she did in this one she was very warm and caring threw out the entire episode and it's a major acting improvement she seems more like a protaginist now where as in the last two seasons she seemed soo detached, cold and desperate.

I feel like her acting has improved tremendously. She was soo good in the bathroom gloor scenes and with Cali, Derek and McVet and I don't know I got a better feel from her then her previous work.

These actresses continue to work. Word about Miranda Bailey she was amazing in the Quarentine.

After reading everyone's comments I was totally confused because this wasn't the episode that I had watched! Needless to say, CTV (Canada) aired the second episode of this season not the first episode!!!! WTF??? The second episode was really good and everything but I really did actually want to watch the first episode. Once CTV realizes their screw up I am sure they will air the first one. I won't ruin it for everyone as to what happened in the second episode but lets just say the last 3 minutes left me giddy! :D

I thought something was up! That explains everything......I couldn't figure out why it didn't start back off where the season finale left off. The second episode was kinda lame, but maybe it'll make more sense when I see the premiere.

I still think GA is poorly written for a primetime show, but it's the best soap on TV right now!

Kate Walsh and Katherine Heigl knocked me out in this episode. Both of those women are so talented and so rarely acknowledged for it. I really hope one of them gets nominated for an Emmy at some point. Soon.

I cried again remembering Denny. I still can't believe that they killed him! I do agree that Izzie's grief was cut short. I hope this isn't the last we see of it.

Addison is a very intelligent woman. She knows what happened.

Callie is growing on me. I love when she compared them to 17-year-olds and when she left the room for no reason at all. :) She's cool. (And also another beautiful addition to the already physically-blessed cast).

Still want to punch Meredith in the face. Kthx.

I thought something was strange as well because I thought the show picked up right where it left off last season. Then I figured they decided to change it. I was all confused! Stupid ass CTV!!! They won't tell us when they are going to air Nip/Tuck and now they air the second episode instead of the first one! :angry:

    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
    • That was Mal Young right? He thought a tragic death was a better option than crafting a story where Hilary leaves town. Was it a case of punishing someone who wants to leave? And then they have to jump through hoops to bring the actress back.
    • Ooo @TaoboiI will say I just watched Amanda give it to Abby and I loved it. Honestly just made me miss Hilary more. I will never understand or get over that decision to kill her off. Also call me crazy but I could definitely see the Damian actor playing NuTed on BTG. Very much still enjoying the Lily attraction.
    • I rewatched these episodes---they broke my heart. Somehow, Nola had seen Vanessa leave the hospital, and follows her home, and Maeve just lets out this primal scream---chills went down my spine. And knowing the history between them---never quite liking the other and always getting on each other's nerves (to put it mildly)---makes it a much richer to have them put it all aside in the moment and be family to each other. I've never seen/heard what Maeve thought of the story itself, but she did want a break, so it's not like she was fired and then brought back. Yes, Vanessa could be this stubborn and unwilling to ask for help. She'd pretty much always been an "I can do this on my own" type of woman, although when she first came to town, she would still run to Henry. But after she met Billy, she stopped relying on her father. It's part of the reason she (briefly) got addicted to pills after Bill's birth---she was determined to take care of him all by herself and became obsessed with the idea she was the only one who could. Of course, nothing before to this extreme. I should say, there's no way (IMO) they could've told this story---Vanessa letting her loved ones thinking she'd died---if her father Henry had still been alive. She never would've been able to do that to him. And it does chafe that she's letting Bill believe it, when her mantra had been all about protecting him since the day he was born. I honestly don't recall what I thought about it at the time. But now I'm thrilled she's free of Matt at least. LOL.
    • I had no idea Peter Reckell was 70. He doesn’t look or feel it and I guess I thought Bo and Hope were closer in age than 9 years. Wow even the new writers had to have Jack praise Leo. Melissa Reeves continues to slip back in effortlessly as Jennifer. I like Ari and Holly being old friends. Holly learning about John’s death reminded me of how John used to call her Nikki if my memory is serving me right. Doug who happily sleeps in high school Holly’s room shirtless and in his underwear is now asking about birth years. How old is he anyway?    The Cat and Chad romance is insulting. 
    • Her husband is Marty Levy. Chocolate Fortunes (her company) was started in 1987.  So that explains the mystery of 'Whatever happened to Pam Peters?' She had been running a successful business for decades.
