I just have question. Why did it take a recast for people to notice that Alison sounds like Rosanna? This storyline is beyond stupid.

Why does Katie have extensions?

Great show today, everything was really well put together today, I even really liked Carly and Cleo.

Wardrobe obviously hates Katie too...OMG, no one looks good with a sheer side-panel nightie with that thin strip of 'ho panty showing. LOL...*meow* And Teri looks bad in those extenstions. At least when Emily puts extensions in, they do something with her hair...not just let it hang there like a drowned rat.

LOL...it is funny how more watchable Cleo is when she's with Carly. Maybe it's just that I missed Carly so much...maybe it's because Cleo's "helpfulness" doesn't seem so creepy now that she's not wasting it on Jade.

Good seeing Henry...Brad was even tolerable today. Emma was on...and the scenes with Carly/Cleo/the kids was sweet.

Jack/Katie....ugh. I knew sooner or later that little homewrecking bitch would try and mother Carly's children.

Wow...the Paul/Lucinda scenes were terrific. And I kind of like how Meg got herself "on the inside" by confronting them in front of Craig.

Can someone tell me...was Ali offering to do the drug dealer, or was that one of his friends? I'm too lazy to check.

It was Jesse her drug dealer And for some reason I really think they should hook-up they have some pretty good chemistry,lol.

AMEN!

Another okay show. I nearly vomited from seeing the Ali/Dusty kiss in the previews.

I enjoyed today's show. I like Jack and Katie together and thought their date and Jack's nervousness was cute.

Cleo was funny but not sure why Carly isn't freaked out that she looks like Gwen.

I'm so happy Scott Bryce is playing Craig to make that story bearable and that Lucinda got to tell Paul it was all his fault. LOL

Good show. Craig and Meg chemistry does come through. Like the Cleo/Carly interaction. Props to JL for making Cleo one of the quirkiest characters -- I really don't even think of victim Gwen when she's on. More Cleo, less Gwen. Brad having the perplexed look on his face when Henry told him that Katie sees something in Jack that isn't in him was pretty humorous. Ali, such a shame, but I do like this recast. The future is looking better.

I tried to watch the Cleo/Carly but Cleo still makes me sick, so I gave up.

I missed a lot trying to avoid Cleo, but I did like Craig and Meg.

Today was good, not great but good. I think Craig and Meg could have been really boring even with the suspense about the wire, but Richard Culliton's writing made it work. I think the best scenes were Paul and Lucinda's, and the kids'.

What was it that the real Gwen had talked to Sage about regarding summer plans? I don't even remember.

I also enjoyed the Meg and Craig scenes, which is always interesting to me b/c really, I just can't stand Meg. But for some reason their scenes I find interesting.

I just can't stand how they are writing Paul dumber than a box of rocks. Craig was right - he is being written as incompetent.

Emily warns him Ali is unreliable, Dusty TELLS him Ali is on meth, Ali is practically wearing an "I'm HIGH" sandwich board when he returns to the room after getting the script for her, and he is STILL borderline oblivious?

Hate.

I find myself oddly interested in Cleo and Carly. It's great to have Maura back!

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
