I think it will take me about 5 minutes to watch the show today. So not interested in an eppy all about Maggot, DinUGH, and Blake...

If this is the story for Blake, she should have stayed in a coma.

But onto an interesting topic...

As a black woman, I don't see Remy as "the angry black man"... I think that because he has no direction on the show, he seems to be put into situations that make him angry. Tammy and now he wants to "save" Natalia. Because he's not on that much, each scene is almost him being angry. It's more of a coincidence than anything for me. Remy appears to have grown up with all of the privileges in life and he was fine before Tammy died, so I don't see him as an angry black man - more of a man who is frustrated and just happens to be black...

I wish they would give this fine man something to do so that he can contribute to the show and improve on the acting skills.

If not, just let him walk around naked...

Why shouldn't Cassie be pissed? Josh was supposed to be committed to her. Reva told her she accepted that. It was Reva's "engineering" of the entire cancer situation that led to Josh and Cassie falling for each other. And Reva is a PRICK, just expecting that now that she's decided she wants Josh, she should have him. Cassie said it was like Reva was playing God with their lives, and she's right.

Teehee...finally someone else who could do without Ashlee. I just think she's a dork.

Kind of let down by the whole Mallet sleezy/hitman revelation. Uh, I could have sworn that Alan specifically had Mallet brought in to the prison when Harley was sent there...but I could be wrong. And if I were Blake, I think I'd be very, very cautious of blackmailing a murderer. (Tho' I'm sure we'll find out Mallet was working some covert CIA/shadow black ops kind of deal.) I'd love to see more Blake/Dinah stuff, but if it's just going to be about Hart, it's kind of lame. Blake knew Hart for all of five minutes.

I think we all generally can agree that minority characters should be showcased more prominently on the soaps among other things. On this particular issue with Remy I think it is okay to have some disagreement because I doubt that any of it is intentional on GL's part but it is something to chew about. I think that just because a fellow person of color disagrees with me on this, that doesn't mean I'm wrong, or that because a white person agrees that I am right. Again, if it were something much more striking and overt and less covert, I'm sure we'd all come to a general consensus. The show has introduced several people of color recently so hopefully we will see them portrayed just like the other good and the bad denizens of Springfield. Speaking of which, they yet again solidified it being in Springfield, Illinois when Mallet looked in that paper for his job whenever those flashbacks took place.

Bringing the topic back to discussion, I also wanted to point out how it was good that someone-Reva-finally pointed out the irony of Josh being a minister after the whole thing with Cassie. Not to say that you can't make mistakes to be a religious leader but rather you need to be honest with not only those around you but with yourself before you seek to counsel other people.

I'm with P.J. about Cassie deserving to be pissed about the Josh/Reva thing. I'm also turned off by Billy's attitude towards the whole thing...as if to forget that the situation is a gazillion times worse since Cassie is still trying to get over Tammy's death. <_<

Maggot?? Haha..good one. Mallet just bores me and I like Robert Bogue at times...but he doesn't have the same depth in his acting as everyone else. I do fault the writers for not developing the character to the same extent they've developed Dinah. He lives under Dinah's shadow while ironically, Dinah has become a less exciting character since being paired with him.

Just wanted to come in and repeat my plea to Liz Keifer: RUN AWAY from this show as FAST as you can! RUN!

Blake has always been a bitch, but WTF is her motive for blackmailing half the town, the latest victim being Mallet? It just seems to me that this is yet another example of David Kreizman's poison pen. He destroys any character he touches.

As such, RUN FOR THE HILLS Liz! Take MAEVE, GINA, TINA, and JORDAN with you!

***laughs*** Wouldn't Liz make a perfect Molly recast on ATWT? Liz and Maura in scenes would be DA BOMB.

I don't see where Cassie is asking for more consideration than she gave Reva. It's not Cassie's fault Reva was lying to Josh, Cassie and nearly her entire family about NOT wanting to be with Josh. Cassie hadn't a CLUE Reva was in love with Josh still. Reva, OTOH, knew exactly what the status of Josh and Cassie's relationship was. So, know when Reva pisses and moans about "betrayal", it makes her look like a complete moron. And getting Josh hot, bothered, and liquored up to do him on a conjugal visit, is just WRONG.

And I completely agree with SJ on Dinah. She's one step from baking cookies. I floved her and Edmund, as sick as that was. (Me and SJ agree!?!?!?!? Whoa! LOL....)

I wouldn't go as far as to say that Cassie didn't have a clue about Reva still having feelings for Josh. I think she knew but was hoping Josh didn't return the feelings and at the very least, trusted him not to do anything about it if he did.

P.J...what exactly do we disagree on? :lol: I can't seem to remember..but yeah, I haven't been much of a Dinah fan in the past year. It boggles my mind sometimes why Gina Tognoni isn't put in the same league as others who overact. Sure, that might be how she's written but her passive-aggressive deliveries kinda grate after a while. :rolleyes:

I don't think Cassie had a clue about Reva's feelings when Cassie and Josh started up, that's the whole point. Reva left town and let Josh and Cassie think she was just leaving for the hell of it and possibly hooking up with Billy. That went on for months.

Teehee...I don't quite remember....:)

Has Dinah really done anything in the last year? That emmy sure didn't get GT any juicy story, that's for sure. Robbing Mommy with Cyrus? Puh-leeze.

these past days the show has been great, new sets. for those who think that GL is at the end of it's road..think again. Wed. show was filmed in on the road, in nyc (outside the studio, in a nyc bar and in some loft) and it was an excellent show. ....and also AMC fans are moving to GL to watch Darrel (ex-jesse hubbard) , he joined GL this week. Things are getting better!

Eh. It's gotten to the point where I'd rather never see her again. Hell, you all don't know how thrilled I am that Holly is long gone. At least now that she's off the canvas, I can imagine that she's poolside with Ross, Ed, and Phillip sipping a non-alchoholic pina colata out of a coconut shell.

But just to sprinkle in a positive opinion. From the very small bit of him I've seen, Cyrus might actually be a good new villian. Of course, that is because of the actor, not the writing. I swear, the actors on this show are superhuman. God bless 'em, they can still turn some of Kreizman's [!@#$%^&*] into gold.

Liz Keifer would make a great Molly. I would like to see her get a new job. Not because I think GL sucks that bad, but they are not going to use her consistantly, imo. She's good enough to get another job, so I'm not sure why she hasn't moved on.

I loathe Rick Bauer. This is not the character I once loved, and that child is about Beth. He could care less if he fathered that child. Rick just wants Beth. If he were such a wonderful daddy, Rick would pay more attention to his other 2 children.

Didn't think I could hate anyone as much as Josh, but Rick sure helped with that one!

Mel is too good for this rat bastard, and I hope GL does not pull a OLTL and pass this woman on from one non black male to the other. Give her a story and give her DARNELL WILLIAMS, and let Mel and Jeffrey remain really good friends!!!!!

    • 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
