The dinner scenes were so funny.

Orson: "He's here, he's queer and we're use to it."

Bree: "If he finishes on time and on budget, I'll throw in surround sounds."

Orson: "He has a mesh tank top that would bring your ex to tears."

Susan: "Life is short....and Walter's is even shorter."

LMAO!!

The show really should have just used the tornado episode in December as its finale...This episode really lacked anything that would create buzz for the show...Hopefully this strike wraps up before February, so we can get some new episodes in April and May..I really don't want tonight to have been the last episode this season...Because the end was LAME...

I loved the episode. I am glad that the Tornado has some pretty dire consequences, and it wasn't just a ploy to shock. The tornado caused plots to move like Ida's death, Carlos going blind, Victor dying, Katherine finding out Adam cheated on her which leads to Dylan finding out the truth, but also had some great character stuff, Lynette and Karen getting closer, Bree and Susan's friendship is more developed. Fantastic stuff!

Finally, the Housewives are back!

What a fun episode! It's fantastic how the tornado events keep resonating on the characters. Finally, the writers gave Gabrielle some substance by having her stay with Carlos even though he is more or less permanently blind. However, I wonder what's in store for Carlos now. Loved Gabrielle and Edie sparring. It was juicy. Also love the bonding between Lynette and Bree. It was nice to see Lynette looking for herself after all that has happened to her. Tim was also great fun and how shocking that Susan caught him with Katherine! Those abuse flashbacks were very well done--Delany acted them greatly and I am really amazed at how well staged it all is. From what we were shown today, Katherine has definetely buried someone, but I think it's too easy that that person is her husband. Also, a candlestick? How very DYNASTY of them. Finally, I am starting to see stuff about Katherine that I really love.

Wow!!! I just finished watching the May 5th episode online and imo it was the best ep since Season 1.

I loved how Susan & her ex resolved their bitterness, the creepiness between Wayne & Katherine, as well as between Kayla & Lynette, and I even found Orson tolerable for a change.

The only part of the show that didn't work for me was Gabrielle & Carlos because she's become too shallow and one-note. I just don't find her jokes about his blindness funny at all.

      I think her friendships with Jason and Sonny stem from Robin's loyalty to them, but to me, that isn't enough for them to be friends. Anna is a grown-ass adult, and she can make her own decisions; that'd be like saying Robin needs to be friendly with anyone in Anna's life due to her loyalty to them. And I don't believe so. And I hope they never do.
    • After playing Lily Rivera with the personality of a wet dishrag, the bar was low for Melgar lol. Anna/Sonny is even stranger to me.  Sure, he helped Robin out a lot 30 years ago, but Anna and Sonny don't have any real history.  Anna can tolerate both Sonny/Jason for her daughter's sake.  She does not need to be friendly with either.  Anna's character has taken a real hit with all the Valentin things as well. Have Emma and Sonny interacted yet?  I can't remember. 
    • I can't recall... but did Jon Lindstrom (Joey; Craig, ATWT) and Tamara Tunie (Anita; Jessica, ATWT) ever interact on As the World Turns when the latter returned in 2009?
    • OLD P&G ACTORS? Where is this coming from? In case you've forgotten, which would be hard to do because of TIDE and Febreze P&G is one of the sponsors of this new soap we love!!! Also Lindstrom never worked on a P&G soap. Cady, of course, did, but that's because she has worked for everyone!!!  Who else? TTunie? You don't want her around because of Jessica on ATWT? Agree to disagree if so!!! And, KaMo just because she was on GL? I cannot go there with you. Sorry. Not sorry!  
    • Oh yes, The Bay, haha. She was... decent? Trust me... I hate the friendship, and the same goes with Anna/Sonny, which is why I adored when Patrick Mulcahey came in and said, "This isn't happening anymore!" And it felt amazing to me!
    •   I really like your analysis.   This isn't about a stereotype of black men being cheaters.  This is about a soap opera in which one couple was regarded to be flawed and the other regarded to be perfect, but there were issues underneath the supposedly perfect one.       Very good point that they started the show in these early months with a classic  sex and betrayal story to get people hooked.  I agree with you that we'll see more aspects and layers of all the characters as the months and years go by.
    • Oh, I didn't know that about Melgar.  She's not a GH alum I particularly follow obviously lol.  I remember she had a brief period of relevance when she did that web soap and people were saying she was a good actress.  Not on GH lol, but that's for the classic thread. It's just too much of a friendship. They can be pals or co-grandparents or whatever, but Laura should not like Sonny THAT much.  And who in life blathers on about how much they enjoy one another's friendship for multiple days/episodes?  Lol. The part of the audience that likes Sonny (myself included) should know Sonny sucks and just accept it.  He's an awful human and I hate him 90% of the time but I like him 10% more than anyone on this board lol.  I don't need Laura or anyone in town to prop him up to me and I doubt people that dislike Sonny would be convinced to like him just because Laura apparently has horrible taste in friends and husbands, but I digress.  
    • I do not buy that. I mean, I didn't go by Laura for years to be somehow accepting of rapist Luke. Why now would I go by her about our favorite narcissist Sonny? I wouldn't. Laura has never exhibited what you might call good judgment when it comes to people. I mean, she hasn't, you know?!!! Think of Esme!!!! Technically it was the 2000s. 
    • In the new Soap Hub Says podcast they now refer to Bill as BilltheFixer. I love it!!! The moniker fits.
