If y'all didn't call Chuck being a psycho from day 1, you're slow as hell. It was too obvious. He was always too much of a good guy to not be psycho.

LOVED Renee with that little girl (name escapes me).

Lynette and her sister were fun, I guess.

LMAO at Gabi..."adultery taught me some valuable life lessons!"

I didnt see it. I thought he was set up to be Bree's final match, especially since this is the end.

That girl's name is Jenny. I kept wondering what her background is bc she looks like she may have a little black in her...lol. Maybe it was that hair

I'm surprised no one has mentioned how obviously ripped off this storyline is from "I Know What You Did Last Summer"... down to even the random note in black ink saying "I know what you did..."

While it's a major rip-off, I'm still kind of enjoying - the Carlos/Susan stuff is nice since we've rarely seen that before, and it is tying in Mary Alice.

Well the movie came out long before this show started... but I'd have to research and see the details of Season 1. I only remember that Mary Alice committed suicide and we had to figure out who Paul and Zach are, and how that fit into the whole picture. I'm saying this storyline specifically is a rip-off of the movie because the stupid note that Bree got says "I know what you did.." - the and note and "I know what you did..." is a blatant rip-off. Same with the group of girls disposing of a dead body and keeping that secret... until the guilt overtakes them slowly.

Oh, and did anyone notice Alec Muser (ex-Del, AMC) in last night's episode?

The overnight ratings have DH not even reaching 9 million viewers. I used to love this show and I am only watching it now because its ending, but gosh it is so BORING! The stories are contrived and laughable. I don't think I can last another 18 episodes.

I'm surprised everyone said the episode was boring--I thought it was a great improvement on last week's installment.

Also, did he really turn psycho? All I saw was a guy who was frustrated for weeks because of his girlfriend's secretive, mysterious behavior; he kept ignoring it, but he couldn't anymore. On top of that, he took a leap of faith and was very nervous about proposing--only to be turned down before he even got the chance to. I don't blame him for erupting the way he did--though he may have taken it a step too far. But this is DH after all, so all this may be null and void by next week. Character development is not exactly their strong point.

Really enjoyed Lee/Renee/Jenny, as well as Lynette and Lydia.

And the Carlos/Susan thing developed nicely. I think they played just a tiny bit of attraction in that van scene (but who can blame Susan, I have always found Carlos to be incredibly hot, especially sans facial hair). But it seems like they're not going to go for an affair.

I probably would barely realize Alec Musser--who did he play?

I find this season soooooo dull (but I've lost interest in the show a long time back). But I don't think you can say it ripped off I know What You Did (particularly since that was hardly an original idea anyway when the film was made--or even the vastly tamer 1970s Lois Duncan book it's from--I doubt even Agaatha Christie used it first).

      They had a Liam/Hope montage today supposedly about all their times together but it was only Annika's Hope and no scenes from Kim Matula's Hope.  I realize they probably didn't want to restage those scenes with Annika. But still it was weird to omit the Italian wedding.  They could have thrown in a Puglia scenery pic without the actors.

      I haven't watched today's episode yet, but maybe that was the point. Maybe they're trying to move Ted in a more unlikable/villain direction and it wouldn't work with the previous actor. Or maybe it's just that transition phase which will take some getting used to.

      Thanks to the benefits of watching the last weeks of Sherry's stint as Liza and the start of Louan's stint as Liza... I can safely say that Liza would have remained the lead heroine had Sherry stayed on as Liza.   Charisma is a mighty important element that makes someone watchable and likable... and Sherry had that. No disrepect for Louan because she was a good actress.. but to me, she played a more passive/neurotic Liza vs the more confident/decisive version of Liza.  I think the Liza vs Estelle over TR story would have had more impact with Sherry in the role..imho.

      Welcome @SoapCurios it is nice to see new people here. Many episodes from The City still aren't available, but if I find any that touch on Azure's story, I will post them.

      I'm not invested in Ted as a character anymore either. He's not the same.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      I have a feeling it was either coincidence or it was an idea whose time had come. Remember Bill Bell was also into the psycho-sexual. So it was happening more than one place. Pete Lemay began disagreeing with Irna quite early on. He shut up & listened at first, naturally because he had to learn the basics. But, as soon as he had, they began to have arguments, disagreements. They both were devotees of character-driven but the similarities stopped pretty quickly. Bolin as far as AW was concerned was nuts & bolts, or more $$$. It was all about the numbers. And the numbers were great, double the ad revenue & that went to the network. As far HTSAM was concerned, that was her baby, no one else's. It is so funny to me that Lemay started this by accident.

      What did you all think of Hogan/Patti compared to the stuff with Liza and Sonny? Did you buy anything about Sonny and Bela? Has a recast ever decentralized a character as much as Sherry's exit did with Liza? Or do you think that would have happened even if Sherry had stayed?

          I think the three comments pretty much summarize my thoughts. The green is not pleasant. I think I know where they were going with it, but it doesn't translate on screen.  The bar at Uptown is actually pretty good. It's my favorite part. I totally get it having an East Coast vibe. I used to frequent a place like it and while I wouldn't necessarily call it pretty...it was a bit Kitsch but it had a vibe. This place is lacking the vibe. I know it's not easy to hire extras, but even having a karaoke night in the background or live music would change the whole feel.  Vernon and Anita having breakfast there was a great idea. Another place besides the country club where they could talk. However, why were they using country club china at an establishment like Uptown. It just seems a bit confused. I don't understand what it's supposed to be.
