Finally the Kate storyline is heating up again - Greg Madden is the doctor! We also have this nurses strike beginning at the hospital...which is very interesting. I love how Joe is on today in full capacity, in scenes with Julia and Josh. I don't think we've had Julia/Josh/Joe since the summer!

The trial so far is great....quite entertaining actually with lots of characters involved. I'm really drawn into Hannah for some reason - I loved her scenes with Kendall. Her words were a little haunting....

Good Kystal/Adam scenes IMO. Good acting as always.

I really liked that Sean/Colby scene in the beginning too as they looked over Jenny.

The Adam/Krystal scenes were brief but intense. Unlike Babe, Krystal has the smarts to know when a man does not want her and isn't groveling for forgiveness. But I was cheering Adam on as he berated her mothering skills. Pine Valley doesn't need another Babe.

The Babe/Kendall handholding was effective for me. I much prefer the piglet in a supporting role as oppossed to the show's focus.

I thought Del's outburst was poorly acted but it was better than Jonathan's incessant hypocrisy.

WOW - how powerful and emotional that middle scene of the trial was - with the black and white flashbacks to all the murders and violent acts that Alex Sr. committed. Reliving Dixie's death was heartbreaking - but the execution of these flashbacks were amazing. Kudos to the NEW writers for giving us a great ending to this whole Satin Slayer/ACS storyline.

Joe and Adam scenes! This is just great. Vets are being used - the character balance is so improved. AMC is back!

I loved the use of black and white flashbacks.

I never thought I'd post this, but Josh is growing on me. He is finally someone outside Babe's universe.

I agree - I really enjoyed his scenes with Bianca last Friday too. He is much better outside Babe's orbit - and Colin has impressed me lately by just feeling more comfortable in his role. It really showed through Friday's episode for me.

Wow - that Adam/Amanda scene was pretty powerful too. That was definitely the old threatening Adam coming through as he scared Amanda. Chrishell has the upset/confused/torn face down! I love how we're getting Amanda in this storyline. The new writers are doing a great job of bringing these underutilized characters into the storylines. I love it.

YES!!! We just got a Natalie in the well reference! I love the history we've gotten in today's show - with Liza reference, Natalie/Janet/Well reference, the black and white flashbacks!

That ending was great! I can't wait to see tomorrow...

Speaking of tomorrow - we didn't see tomorrow's previews - but we saw an AMC promo of what's to come! I loved it - showing how Janet is going to be Jenny's caretaker....

Today's show is really good. There is such a good balance to the show and charaters that are usually shoved down our throats aren't right now.

Ok, I'm confussed. Zach said in the courtroom that Raymond was his father but in teh hall when Babe or Annie asked him was it true what he said, he was like "no" and then one of them said "you're nothing like him." So..did Zach just say that to try and coax a reaction out of Alex Sr.?

Yep Zach said that to get his father to react.

JR STFU, you don't care about your mother, you spat on her grave.

Eeee a Simone flashback :D

Poor Kendall, thought she was gonna pass out

Loved the Zendall scene

UGH Colby please don't become Carey-fied

Exactly - Zach was trying to get ACS to come out of his insanity act by saying he isn't his son. It didn't work. So Babe asked if he was telling the truth - and Zach said no...which lead Babe to try and comfort him by saiying "You're nothing like him..." as in "Don't worry, it'll be ok." It was a good tactic by Zach, but didn't work. The ending with that gun though - could be a little foreshadowing!

Chip Hayes, Amanda L. Beall and Karen Lewis were the writers for today.

So how do I credit this?

Hayes and Beall and both breakdown writers or Beall and Lewis has both script writers?

Damn, why are some of these episodes having three writers? Are some episodes being rewritten?

go to the head of the class with that answer

Since the previous episodes had one breakdown writer with two script writers, I'd say to credit Beall as a script writer.

Good idea - go with the pattern. Thanks.

i loved how tad grabbed adam's shirt and said you better give me back my baby you sob that was priceless and janet saying im going to take good care of this little angel.

pretty good show. I loved the use of hte flashbacks. That was very well done. One complaint though is that yet again Tad is reminsicing about Simone. Couldnt they have Kendall or someone else do that? I really wish Dixie was the one that we saw on Tad's mind
