Uh, she could still be Beth. Since when has what flashbacks that aired ever mattered. There were times during some montages where we saw images that were dream sequences but played like flashbacks (this happening in a ET montage awhile back).

It could also be Beth flashing back to witnessing that. After all, Shuis's Mexican wedding was put on camera so people back in Harmony could see. Beth and Edna were right there watching it. As for any other memories, Beth was known to stalk Luis and Sheridan so that could be things she picked up while stalking them. Also, Al could've fed Beth some Shuis memories or even showed her some footage. He watches everyone on camera so he could've showed her that if the plot was for her to take over Sheridan's wife and get Luis. Who knows but it is possible and is an out that I agree will probably be used as s shock tactic or a way of getting Sheridan out of complete character destruction.

This is Passions. Anything is possible.

It's definitely possible, but it's even more feasible that JER has decided to just make Sheridan evil because it fits with the new direction of the show.

It seems like he's going back to the original idea of the Cranes being evil and being cursed to wallow in sorrow; hence, after years of no mention of the Crane curse, a few episodes focused on Tabitha explaining to Endora about the curse and even a new flashback was created. Tabitha was taken out of the Fox/Kay/Miguel plot for the first time in a year just to explain to the audience what was happening to Sheridan and the other Cranes.

Tabby to Endora, foreboding aplenty:”This doesn’t bode well for Fancy and Luis…above all, Sheridan is a Crane and like all Cranes, they hate to lose something or someone they love. Her heart might be breaking now, but it also might be hardening and believe me, a Crane with a hard heart is a ruthless creature indeed!”

"Pain and sorrow curse the Cranes for all eternity."

Additionally, Eve has been commenting about how Cranes turn nasty when they lose lovers and feel threatened.

I don't know much about JER's writing on other shows, but I've read that he is famous for changing character traits for the sake of plots. Perhaps this is just another example

This is a Crane story, not only a Sheridan story. If Sheridan were the only one changing, then I would buy the Beth idea. I'm not saying that he won't make all of the Cranes decent again, but for now this goes beyond Beth. This is an umbrella storyline focusing on Julian, Fox, Sheridan and Chad and how their Crane genes are surfacing without Alistair's direct influence.

:lol:

I agree! Friday's eppy was great and I loved the non-linear stuff, as you pointed out, where several stories were taking place all at once, in the same house...

I concure 100%...Sheridan is not Beth. IMO, this is much more of a Crane, coming into their dark side, so to speak. Sher, Fox, and even Julian returned, and this has all happened around the same time. Alistair isn't there, Beth isn't there, so 'naturally' we start to see other Cranes filling that role. I like it. It's been enjoyable to watch Mac playing something other than the whiny, naive chica that had swept in for the past couple of years. I think the maternity break did her well.

Mac was smokin' in that dress! What a gorgeous woman.

Here, here...Fox's face was priceless at the end of Thursday's eppy. Depsite this being my LEAST favorite story, there were some ok scenes with them...

*@&$#!! JSF, what are you smokin'? Ethan is such a tool! This is one ex-die-hard E/T fan that can NEVER look at the two of them the same again...

I don't think he is 'bad', per say, but he definitely has some secret out there! Ethan just needs to get his balls back from Gwen and move the heck on!

Who whouldn't.... :P:lol: Chris is DEADweight.....

Thanks :)

Chad's cheating is very out of character, too. The Chad we've known wanted to have sex with his sister...lol...but not with anyone else. He was a devoted guy who traveled to Rome to stop her from hurting herself. Now, look at Chad. If Sheridan is wearing a mask, then so is Chad. In fact, I consider Chad even more destroyed than Sheridan because at least Sheridan has legitimate reasons for becoming psychotic.

There's a hypothesis that Alistair is controlling his family by using the power he was able to get from the chalice. I don't think so, but I think JER could use that as an out if he decided to make the Cranes decent again.

doh, I even forgot about Chad! :lol: and you're right, yet another, usually cool Crane, has become a much more 'stereotypical' Crane.

i wouldn't really call it out of character, but more of a side that we didn't always see...that just my opinion though...

I could totally see JER pulling something like you mentioned....some power from the Chalice or whatnot, to 'redeem' these characters later on...what ever happened to the rumours that J. Reilly(alistair) was lurking around again? I really think(as I am sure most do)that he is the 'mysterious' shadow we keep seeing....

Once again, nass, another BRILLIANT post!!

Sorry, Phoenix, but character changes have occurred with Sheridan, Fox and Chad. And Julian, but earlier. This is the real Sheridan. There's no reason to believe otherwise. Why not? Well, because if Sheridan's shift suggests she's Beth, then you MUST say that Fox's shift suggests he's an impostor and the Chad we're seeing on screen also is an impostor since we never had hints he was gay.

You all beleive what you want. It's probably not intended right now but it's JER's ace in the hole if Sheridan goes to far in the fans' eyes.

This Crane cuse crap is BS. It wasn't even a big thing early on. The only one that was bad was Julian. Yes, Tabitha had a curse on the Cranes to make them suffer but that was it. It's just JER;s way of destroying characters left and right and trying to justify it.

I said Jared wasn't Chad's secret lover and it seems I am right. I said Grace would be the "death' and we know I;m right. Let's see if all of us thinking Sheridan will be revealed as Beth at some point are right. I would like a multiple personality story more to be honest.

Whatever...we'll see. I am so down on this show they could do whatever they want. I only watch out of loyalty to the actors now and that is just plain sad.

Oh, and John Reilly was rumored to be returning around mid-winter I beleive. It's so obvious the shadow is him and that he probably killed JT. Nothing on this show surprises me anymore.

Sorry, Phoenix, but I still disagree.

Julian wasn't the only evil Crane until now.

Remember back in 2000? It was revealed that the Crane family stole the Russells' farm -- WAY back when. (I think it was a farm but it may have been something else.) Tabitha let TC see a quilt of hers that told that whole story.

Also, speaking from a contemporary point (since that was ages ago, according to the story), yes, "all" the Crane have been construed as evil. How many times the first year of the show did we have to hear Luis and others talk about "those damn Cranes?" Not just Julian, but those damn "CraneS." Perhaps they didn't show their colors back then, but the mean Crane nature is NOT something that JER pulled out of thin air. This does draw from the show's history.

And for that, I say BRAVO.

    • Dear God in Heaven (/KatherineChancellor), maybe blazer is the wrong word - I’m just saying André needs to wear baggy clothes or larger sizes cause he’s a short king and the sizes they’ve chosen for him make him look smaller and shorter than necessary

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.
