Don't worry. I only viciously, condescendingly, brutally attack if you mention Amanda L. Beall. I go into my psychotic Joanna Cohen obsessed rage and start ripping sweet, innocent posters limbs off and beating them with them.

At least... that's what the peanut gallery tells me. Oops! Was that too condescending again? :unsure:

Speaking of which, the Vegas showgirl wig killed the scenes for me almost instantly. I can't see it as the french maid wig, I see it as the Vegas showgirl wig. Sigh, and the whole E/J/B's thing is back to immature, that's what Erica gets for taking advice from her fetus on stalking, lol.

^ well since others said it, and i won't get accused of just sayng it because I'm a hater...I thought it was terrible. I think Erica looked sad and pathetic, and the entire thing reeked of desperation. I wasn't impressed. And had she not sent Babs out to sea, the entire ting rather then just 2/3's would have made me cringe. :(

Yeah, that kind of saved it for me. What I would have had her do was just send Barbara out to sea once Jack got off the boat - no blonde wig, no breakfast in bed, no not-too-subtle sucking up to Jack. Erica was wrong, but there's better ways for a diva like La Kane to say she was wrong and get her man back!

JointStrikeFighter, you'll be glad to know you couldn't be farther from the truth how any of it went down at AMC when the Ava/Lily thing came about, but I do respect the fact that you admit the whole hypocrite thing.

I think once you get a chance to watch Leven, you will see she can more than pull the storyline off. Considering ATWT just copied the idea of Jennifer Hudson, it says something

At first, I wondered why this thread was so heavy handed on the Ava/Levin aspect of the show. After finally seeing the show, what's the big deal? Granted, Levin is only 17, but she carried off the dual role. Minus the hooker aspect, something tells me she has more Ava in her than Lily. In regards to the story, is this a Pretty woman rip? Do all prostitutes have convo's with their clients?

Moving along...

The writers are going to force me to like Krystal. She called Tad out on his crap. It was about damn time; everybody and their Momma shouldn't be involved in the destruction of her marriage. Adam can take care of this piece of trash without Babe, JR or whomever her latest ovary tickler is this week spraying the air freshners to take away the stink of what KWAK did.

I also agree that the story shouldn't be played for so many laughs or with this audacious hypocrisy. What is Tad's problem? He needs to be committed. It's Adam's house. He had every right to stay put; it's all the other free loaders who have to take a walk in traffic. I almost wish the collusion between Adam/Josh were for real. JR is a !@#$%^&*].

Last but not least, Erica was amusing today, but I'm glad Jack checked her. She's been tossing her hair at Jeff for months. It's going to take more than dressing up as a maid in oder to regain his trust. Barbara may be a !@#$%^&*], but she was right- Erica is the ultimate spoiled brat.

I cannot believe that having fucked up the autistic child so bad, they have instead decided to introduce her slutty twin (sister, cousin, whatfuckingever) to try and mitigate the problem and keep the actress. What a [!@#$%^&*] sideshow. Hilarious.

They are still working this "Adam is Evil" angle, and for the life of me, I don't know how this happened. I don't see how Krystal and Tad conceiving a baby and Krystal lying about all of it is Adam's fault. Jamie's all, "I won't let Adam hurt anybody I care about!" Um... HOW DID ADAM HURT ANYBODY IN THIS STORYLINE?!

ITA. I loved seeing an important piece of J/E's long, romantic history used by her today. As she told him, he knows her well enough to let her actions speak for her :lol: I didn't think she carried it too far or looked desperate. As Erica said, and ITA with her, the only desperate person here is Barbara <_< . She looked like the outsider she is as J/E bantered over waffles and syrup ;) Deep inside Jack loved every minute of it and I bet he'll admit that to her at some point but yes he is hurt and it will take him time to heal. I wonder if it will be Jeff Martin who tells Jack what Erica said to him that day that she will always love Jack and he is her heart as she is his :wub:

As I suspected from the start, Jack rushed the divorce because he believed she wanted Jeff and he confirmed that for me today. The best part was the end when he said that and added that she signed the divorce papers and she stated, "You are wrong" and walked out as he questioned what he is wrong about. I think either Erica didn't sign or stopped the process or Livia is going to be my hero by not filing the final papers because she knows they belong together and would work things out eventually. :P Jack was as intrigued by the answer to that question as I was.

I loved Leven today and I loved Aidan/Ava. :P As far as the age thing is concerned, if they could put her with a 30 year old murderer than why can't they put her with a 30 year old good guy whom she has chemistry with? I think they are great together (I've been a closet Laidan fan like many others) and I can't wait to see this story unfold.

My favorite Erica lines today:

rbara: I won't touch anything with your prints on it.

Erica: Too late for that.

~~~~

Barbara: I am starving...sex with Jackson is better than I remember

Erica: Better eat up then...because you won't be this hungry again for a long time. :lol:

    • I think it wasn't just some of the poor casting choices that did the show in during its early days, but also the flat writing. Perhaps it was network interference? You'd think the Dobsons would have fought harder for their original vision, but after 6 months they dropped most of it. 
    • Small Bar is a better set than the casino set.
    • The show loses me once the crime stories are in overload.  Heather and Jerry's marriage doesn't excite me. It would have been tawdry, but I think there should have been more lingering in Heather and/or Greg's feelings for the other. Or at least having someone suspect that their newfound sibling relationship was more complicated. But none of their parents were around. It just feels like they burned through too much story there too quickly.  Ellen and Dale's romance definitely seems intriguing. I don't think I knew they toyed with Jill having feelings for Dale, which would have meant that Jill was once again considering going after her mother's man. That's a very interesting dynamic. With David coming home from Hong Kong, and Tom afraid of David's involvement, I think they should have given Tom and Jill a try. Tom trying to use Jill to buy respectability and maintain power at the law firm.  Vicki and Tony's affair seems like fun with Vicki just seeming to see Tony as more of a sexual object and it leading to a health crisis. There was probably some space to explore that both Tony and Ginger's fathers were criminals (Tony's bio dad). I can't remember if Harry Wilson/Ike Harding died, fled town, or went to prison. If he was alive, I think he would have been worth revisiting.  What fascinated me about "Somerset" in early 1976 is its a show of remnants, pieces of the show's different eras, and they seem to sorta work, not as well as more well defined canvas would. I do think a streamlining was needed, but I am not sure if the criminal angle was the best route to choose. 
    • Thanks for finding that about the Andrade home. I think it wasn't show in the opening weeks, but I may be wrong. With Danny in Los Angeles and Santana on her own, I don't think much space was given to Rosa and Reuben. It might have been nice to see them engaged in a healthy relationship threatened by Rosa keeping Santana's recently uncovered pregnancy from Reuben or even a visit from one of their other chidlren.  During the 1991 dinner, I think Rosa stated she would go home after work, which I took to me that she left the Capwell estate.

    • Last installment of 76 Felicia is horrified to arrive in Rosehill and discover that Charles has been in a coma since the night she left. She spends every moment at his bedside and, learning that a friend had a promise to God produce favorable results in a similar crisis, vows to give Eddie up forever in exchange for Charles’s recovery. Shortly after her prayer Felicia is told that Charles has rallied and has regained consciousness. Felicia now is determined to avoid Eddie and honor her promise. Bruce explains to Lynn that he must contact her parents or he and Van could be legally charged for allowing a minor child to live with them without parental consent. Bruce doubts Lynn’s assurance that her parents could care less, and is shocked when he discovers for himself that Lynn’s mother is as unfeeling as the girl has claimed. He informs a delighted Lynn that he plans to become her legal guardian.
    • I think that worked, but not as much by the late '80s, where I think they started getting things wrong with Mack.  I do respect Kevin Dobson, who did well when he was given the material he deserved (like the story with Jason).
    • 1976 Pt 2 The Organization has retained Michael Selby to represent their hit men. The district attorney recognizes his opponent as a noted courtroom specialist and knows he has his work cut out for him. Raising technicality after technicality, Selby quickly eliminates Lieutenant Price’s testimony implicating Bailey and Jerry’s testimony about Heather’s being assaulted. ‘Then, after cutting Julian’s testimony out as common knowledge, Selby goes straight to the heart of the  prosecution’s case. He demands that Carrie be produced now, sure that she’s been taken by the Organization. To Selby’s horror and shock, the doors open and Carrie walks in, and the courtroom explodes into pandemonium. As soon as the judge can restore order, Carrie is sworn in and begins her testimony. When court recesses for the day, Steve is confronted by another Organization man, Franklin, who questions him about why he took Carrie away. Steve tells him that Carrie was so frightened by the hit man lurking around that he saw his opportunity to be alone with her and “score.” Steve then adds that she wasn’t at all cooperative or friendly—she just cried all the  time—so he dumped her. He insists he has no idea how the police got her after that. Franklin accepts his story, and Steve learns that his next test is to testify to just what he’s told Franklin, omitting, of course, the reference to the hit man. Carrie insists upon a meeting with Steve and begs him not to go underground. He tells her he can’t back out now; you can’t go through life letting somebody  else do it all the time. Steve takes this opportunity to inform Lieutenant Price that he has to dump on Carrie on the witness stand for the Organization, but he can’t stop now. Julian, irate that Selby has blocked any reference to Nurse Fellowes’s disappearance and murder, as she was the only witness who could corroborate Carrie’s testimony, confronts Selby on this evasion. Selby | coldly tells Julian that there is no concrete connection between the nurses’ death and anything else that’s happened in this case and that to bring it into this trial would be a miscarriage of law. Julian, realizing  that it all falls on Carrie’s shoulders now, warns her that Selby will be out for blood; he has to make the court believe she’s lying.  The next day the district attorney introduces Carrie’s tape recorder. The tape, burned, as is the recorder, is barely audible. Selby calls for a mistrial, claiming that his clients’ reputations have been damaged enough. As the judge calls a recess: to consider the motion before the bench, the district attorney admits that he predicted everything Selby would do to this point, but had not guessed about this motion. If it works and there’s a new trial, Carrie is in far greater danger.  Steve now tells Castor that either he’s working for  the Organization as of now or he’s going to look elsewhere for a job. Castor offers the rainy weather as an excuse to wait before contacting “him,” because “the iron in him’Il be driving him crazy.” Realizing that this is a lead, Steve starts to write it down. When he is nearly caught, he warns himself that from now on  everything he learns will have to be kept in his head.  As soon as possible, he passes the “iron” clue along to Julian. The district attorney gains a respite when the judge  turns down the mistrial motion, but the tape has been disallowed also, ruled inadmissible. So it’s Selby’s turn to cross-examine Carrie. When he forces her to admit that she never actually saw the hit man, Selby turns to the jury and informs them that this proves she’s been lying. He then suggests this has all been a plot to boost the circulation of the newspaper she works for. Selby then goes to work on Carrie’s personal morals. Since she’s admitted that she and Steve spent three days in the apartment, alone together, he asks questions and makes insinuations designed to make the jury believe this was actually a sleazy affair. To Carrie’s horror, he then calls the landlady, Mrs. Wilson who testifies that that Steve and Carrie,registered as Mr. and Mrs. Clark, spent the three days in question drinking and partying with loud music and assorted other sounds coming from their rooms until late each night. Carrie rises to her feet and screams at Mrs. Wilson, ““You’re lying!” Steve is served with a subpena.  Joe Castor visits “the man”: Fred Harrington! Castor gives Harrington his report on Steve. He thinks Steve, with his computerlike mind, could be invaluable in helping the Organization work out money-exchange problems. Harrington tells Castor he wants the trial over as soon as possible, no matter how it goes. Those men are expendable; he has a bigger problem: Julian.
    • Given the weird fantasies/out of town barn trips she does for Reva/Kyle, I can't see it either. (Not to mention Kyle's obsessive talking to paintings, or Billy's nightmares.)
