I don't see the Steve and Kayla's daughter vibe either. Steve was wild and rebellous because of what he went through in his life. Things that Much beloved Stephanie never did...So whatever happened in Dayton better be good. Or at least SH needs to give us little physical hints of vunerability, or hidden pain ...something!

That's the thing with how they play "rebel" these days, it always manages to come off as petulant and spoiled, I feel ... the stories aren't there to back up the angst, and characters are so young that it comes off as really precocious instead of deep-seated. No offense to the younger actors but it's just very unlikely that they'll have the gravitas to really pull off straight-forward rudeness in that really deeply angsty way, nor would they have the honed intuition to inflect nuance into it ... I'm not trying to say she's an significantly bad actress, but it takes a significantly good one to pull off that heavy stuff, and it's not even easy as a seasoned actor much less a newbie. Maybe she'll improve though, but in the meantime she comes off as really indulgent, just another member of the Paris Hilton generation (okay so she's not that bad yet but ... you know what I mean). I think the big thing when a young character feels annoying is precociousness, people just don't like precociousness. If all the fuss and noise outreaches the depth and experience, I think people just don't have the time for it.

And the fact that they keep putting it all down to Dayton cracks me up! But maybe we'll find out more about her mindset as we go on.

Great ending...the montage was excellent..I'm glad they included the "home to me" dance, that could be my alltime favorite lumi moment...I even think i might have that on tape somewhere...I was expecting the picture to show up in the very last scene, not the scene prior...So that surprised me...I loved the end with Sami crying, can't wait for tomorrow..

I will say the stephanie, chelsea, and nick scenes were kind of out of place...Everytime they showed Stephanie's legs, i wondered if Nick was looking up her dress....And did Stephanie fall out the car???? I couldn't really tell..

I am the opposite of Kirk. I've maybe watched 25 full episodes so far in 2007, and 15 of them were probably in January!

But, yeah, Kev, I will definitely watch! The show has been great all week.

Definitely starting the summer off with a bang! Let's get those college kids hooked now. Ratings, por favor!

Hopefully all those important Nielsen viewers tuned in this week as well, and are getting back into it. Fingers crossed they can maintain this storyline pace and exictment through the summer.

I LOVED Today's episode. I cannot wait for tomorrow, and to be honest, it's been a long while since ANY soap has left me feeling with such a craving for more. I've been trying to keep away from spoilers as much as I can lately, hoping not knowing what's to come will peak my interest, so I really have no idea what's instore for us tomorrow. I just pray it won't be a let down and we don't get the same story where Sami losses it all. If they all just give her the chance to explain, and not only understand, but accept and commend her for the sacrifice she made, I think I just might begin worshipping the God that is Hogan Sheffer.

I thought the wedding ceremony was underwhelming. I hate when they just say the standard wedding vows. I prefer original vows because it makes the wedding more meaningful, more personal, more intimate.

Here are some examples:

My favourite. I wonder who wrote it.

I would've loved long vows but I knew we wouldn't get them. This wedding was very unconventional, as I said in my other posts, and we have been down this road so many times with Sami. It was likew reversing the curse by avoiding thr typical things like a veil, groom seeing the bride, and so on. I think most fans are just happy that it happened. The reception seemed to have more emphasis and I feel that the poem Lucas read and what is coming up will fulfill the void left by not having the long vows IMO.

Yup, I watched, and I loved it. I am starting to feel the old Lumi magic again. The wedding was unique and simple, yet very nice; plus the montage was a great plus.

However, I was indifferent to the Steve/Kayla stuff…and I was praying that Steph ate pavement.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
