I am really happy that Zarf explained the name 'Zarf'. That was very interesting. I really think the writers answered lots of questions some unconvinced fans have had so far.

Well obviously Raymond Jenkins isn't the Satin Slayer...so the men of PV just ruined their chances to bring the real killer out :( Those PV men are such manhandlers!

It seems like Di is the only one left still affected by Dixie's death. I understand why Tad and JR want to catch this killer, but if someone like Dixie had just died, I'd be a wreck still - and it seems like only Di is still a wreck.

Amanda is hot.

Haha - Kendall just told Ryan OFF! I love it.

And yes, more vigilante manhandling - what this show does best! *PUKE*

Wow - Donald Steele - Its been a LONG time since we've heard that name. I remember loving that little rat.

This in my opinion proves that Dixie's death scenes were re-shot and added into the episode. The fact that pretty much no one even mentions Dixie (at least in the previews I have anyway) for about another 2 weeks proves to me that this was some last minute [!@#$%^&*].

FUABC.......

See - I've thought that. BUT some things still don't make sense.

Cady said that James Mitchell was sick and that is why Palmer wasn't at the hospital for Dixie's death. BUT two days later, he shows up with Opal to the Amelia Cambias Ball. TWO days!

But then, we got Opal for both parts...and we know they wouldn't just bring Opal back for a Zach-related Ball...she came strictly for Dixie's death. So this whole timing thing is off it seems like.

But yeah, I'd think Tad and JR would be so affected by Dixie's death - even Jamie - that they'd at least seem sad instead of just determined to catch the killer. It's just odd.

It's plot driven crap. They were more upset by her fake death when she had already been gone from PV for months when her car went over a cliff in Switzerland and her body was never found. Now, she was murdered by a Serial Killer less than a year after returning from the dead and died right in front of them; yet JR is more interested in if Babe is cheating on him AGAIN (yawn) and whether to rat out her Momma for her cheating and carrying Tad's baby; and Tad (and even Jamie) are just focused on catching the Serial Killer (the same as they were before Dixie died). Tad mourned Simone more than he mourned Dixie. The only people who went to visit Dixie at the Funeral Home were Di, Zach and Ryan. RYAN??? I guess he he had to go there to get the note - more plot driven drivel.

EXACTLY! It's really disgusting. Supposedly there will be a Dixie funeral, so maybe we'll see more mourning there. But right now it's like JR and Tad are already over it.

So again, another reason why the death part of this storyline might have been last minute and reshot and put in at last second. But still the Opal/Palmer stuff doesn't support that. Ugh - who knows...

Jonathan needs to be the next victim. His raging a$$ was annoying today.

Dixie's death was definitely last minute. A little birdie informed me that the writers found out Dixie was to be written off only a few days before Cady was informed. I believe she said she was told about 3 weeks before her final tape date. That's very last minute as the breakdowns and scripts would already have been done for the next month, without Dixie's death!

SPOILER WARNING

Apparently we get loads of Krystal, Zoe, and Bianca (barf...no pun intended) mourning Babe scenes, I guess TIIC felt Babe's "death" should have the monopoly on mourning.

The fact alone that Babe and Dixie share the same funeral is proof enough where the priorities of AMC lay.

I still am craving a response from Megan on Dixie's death, we never got it. Michael E. Knight has yet to speak out as well.

Hopefully Megan's repsonse will be her walking in April, because she won't be fired.

Although at this point I honestly feel like her leaving wouldn't be cause to celebrate. If this is what we get from a writer who has a long history with the show and genuinely likes using the veterans and is probably Tad & Dixie's #1 fan then I really don't see much hope.

I think the fact that the press could only get Justin to talk about Dixie's death and not Michael or Jacob is very tellling.

Maybe it's just me but MEK looked genuinely pissed during the park scenes with Kate/Ghost Dixie. To me at least it looked like more than just "acting" pissed that Dixie died.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
