Another good episode to start what I hope is a week that maintains solid momentum.

Now, in response to Drew H's post, I really hope Judi is contract. She is fantastic and the show could utilize her well. I just hope they explain more about where she has been and so on if she sticks around.

Now, about the episode. I want to thank Hogan and the writers for bringing back the solid character writing we were getting in the Fall. We are seeing more human sides of Philip and EJ and that was necessary and Lucas has his sparkle back.

The Sami/Lucas/EJ scenes were well-done. Lucas's reaction was spot on and I am so glad that the attempted murder plot was exposed so quickly and wasn't pushed under the rug. I liked Lucas's "Too bad you didn't kill him" line. The LUMI I love is back and that ending with them leaving and EJ following them...nice buildup.

JS is incredible. The dejection he had all over his face was heartbreaking. I felt for him. He actually beleived Sami when she said he was the father. I loved LUMI standing up to him and the scenes with him and Kate were very good. Him finally admiting his love for Sami and the way Kate kicked the door in and said "Bloody Hell"...priceless. I love LK but they need to give her more to do. She didn't even care about EJ forcing himself on Sami or the fact that Sami saved Lucas's life. I am worried about her character and her job because she is growing more and more expendible and I don't want her to go.

The Kayla/Adrienee scenes were nice. Judi and MBE always worked well together and Bonnie is nothing but a distant memory now. Her bringing the gun to Kayla and their whole talk was chilling. Nice buildup and I loved seeing Adrienne fear for her brother. Can't wait for Hope/Adrienne tomarrow.

The island stuff was nothing much but having Bo there makes a big difference. I am liking Gabby again but she is useless. Hopefully, Bisco finds a gig elsewhere. Belle's clue was lame but at least she was smart enough to leave one. Also, JKJ has toned it down alot and so have the writers and I appreciate that.

All in all, a solid episode and the roll continues.

Oh, and Ridge is 100% right. Days gave yet another sweeps to Ali Sweeney and the girl did it again. It seems everytime the show needs a boost or a spark to get going again it starts with her and here we are again. She is amazing and she is probably one of the most important people that is vital to this show's success. She is definitely the most marketable. Sweeps has been great so far and let's hope this is just the beginning of a great ride.

You think so?

I think that was just him pretending that he truly thought he was really the father of Sami's unborn child. In acting such a way, that gave him the chance to possibly get some sympathy out of Sami and Lucas. He knew the amnio report was falsified so he had to have known that Sami had no certain way of knowing whether he was the father or not, and rather that was just her telling him what he wanted to hear.

I thought that too Jinxed but then we had the scene with him alone where he flashed back to her telling him that and that she wanted the baby to be a Dimera. The way that scene was portrayed and the way EJ was sulking and so depressed showed me that internally he bought it. Maybe in his mind he didn't but in his heart he did. His heart was broken and I think Sami's words almost reassured him the baby was his and her saying she didn't know who the father was on top of her marrying Lucas when he was sure Lucas would dump her after learning the truth, basically took the wind out of his sails.

JS brought back EJ's magic today IMO. It's so good to see the human side of him, and Philip, again. It as necessary and was something lacking for most of this year.

My first hee haw of the show. And the phone service was messed up, too, remember.

Also, I loved seeing Philip deck the injured Shawn. He needed it badly long ago. Also, I'd love to see Philip, Belle and Shawn behave like rational adults with Claire's welfare the only concern.

Gabby is sharper than Shawn, it's too bad he has to leave his brains on the island. She can grasp and reason very well. I'll miss her. I'll miss Duck, too. He is an interesting character.

I frankly don't know a word Adrienne and Kayla said. I could scarcely stand to even look at either of them being as they don't interest me in the least. I cannot get drawn into this story at all.

Thankfully the New Orleans storyline is about to begin, and the teen's mystery.

Nope! It was supposed to happen on May 11. We got sh*t. :angry:

Lucas and Sami will probably be married 3 months before they air the wedding gifts. Remember the last time fans got to decide something on this show? I believe Bo and Hope's daughter ran aruond with he hideous name "Doodlebug" for 3 months.

I heard that the gifts were "scanned across" at the wedding from the camera... that's about as much as we got from it.

I also heard that the scenes were cut whenever Bryan Dattillo got sick during the taping of the wedding.

Every time I see EJ, Sami, and Lucas together in a scene these days I just get tired. I know it's the fault of the previous months' material and not now, but well, lack of good build-up has its ramifications, and I'm on my last legs with this storyline. Of course I bet they will milk the triangle for months to come. When I ask myself honestly, I don't care about a Brady-Dimera baby either.

I liked seeing Kayla and Adrienne, but it's just filler.

The island stuff moved along today which was good, I guess ... and yet this too should've happened ages ago.

I guess the bottom line is I'm not excited about anything! Which is sad!

      I just finished watching and I have to admit, not once did I find myself wondering who wasn't there. Quick question for anyone who followed this better than I did: was it only Andrew who rescued Cat and John from Clyde, or was Shane involved too? The reactions during their scenes today felt a little off to me. I know it was meant to be vague, but I didn't find it strange that they already knew each other.

      Yeah, financially, Luna is in better shape than Deacon and Sheila.   -- Scott Clifton must have decided to chew the scenery in every scene of this "Liam is Dying" storyline. Yikes.

      If J.R. wasn't busy with Ewing Oil, he'd be a heckuva soap recapper. He was SO gleeful at recapping Jenna-Bobby-Pam when the trio and Mark encountered each other at the Oil Baron's Ball. That being said, Lucy, presumably Sue Ellen and maybe Ray should all know this story, or at least part of it. Lucy was definitely at Southfork during Jenna and Bobby's relationship, and I believe Sue Ellen was about to marry J.R. around the time Jenna jilted Bobby. (Ray might not have given a damn.)

      ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive From a May 1980 Broadcasting issue: Meredith Broadcasting in association with Alan Sloan Inc has committed itself to produce series of five half hours in soap opera form, "designed for youngers 11-14 and their parents."

First episode is to air on Meredith's five TV's in September and ground broadcaster also anticipates syndication. If successful, idea is to go to full-fledged series.

      Secrets of Midland Heights

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Looking at an old Broadcast issue with a fall schedule preview. Their description of the show: Lorimar Productions turns its cameras "below the surface of a small, traditional, thriving college town still large controlled by its founders, the Millingtons." Plot elements include "nurtured dreams, closely-held desires, closeted shame and vital truths about friends and family." Lee Rich, Michael Filerman and David Jacobs are executive producers of the Roundelay production, in association with Lorimar.  They also mention the show in a small section about advertising's point of view.  Advertising agency reaction to the new fall line-ups announced by ABC and CBS last week varied. But upfront, some agency types were apprehensive that their advertisers might be turned off by some of the new "titillating" entries. "I'm concerned about the amount of permissiveness," said one executive, with CBS' Secrets of Midland Heights commonly mentioned as one possible offender.

      I just saw this. Thanks for sharing. The classic Y&R thread may enjoy your posts. It was in very poor taste for Andy Cohen to blindside MTS with that type of question, but I'm not surprised as he's an awful person.

      The way Kat was acting today, it only enhances Silk Press Sheila's stalking accusations.   She certainly takes after her Aunt Dani. It took about 70 episodes, but the show seems to have finally understood that Ashley/Derek have to interact with the rest of the canvas in order to get viewers to care about them... or at least understand what their purpose for being on the show. Leslie vs Kat is a wonderful pairing.... and Leslie/Tomas was comically.   Dani's delusion that she's still Bill's wife.... no comment. I really hope that Eva doesn't turn out to be Nicole's child.. because I find the fall out from the anniversary party to be pretty good and there's more possibilities having Eva not being Nicole's child then being her child..imho.

      It was a real-life instance; I remember he had IG stories about the injury.
