I agree, GBB. I am really enjoying Tony/Thaao this time around.

Not until the middle of the week when Sami and EJ go to see him....I think.

Ugh. Thanks, Dre.

Also, I am disappointed with how Willow's fall looks. I thought it was like a FALL FALL like off of something. Into a pit. Off a cliff. Something.

This is like Mimi/Jan circa '05.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the return is slated for June 6. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And I agree regarding Willow's fall. Kinda stupid. But as long as she dies, I'm happy.

I loved today's episode. The Tony/EJ scenes were wonderful, and I like that they brought up so much history today. One thing really stood out to me, though. During the conversation where EJ brings up Kristen (YAY!), he makes the comment that he and Stefano are not "bitter, soulless creatures who live to do nothing but destroy and hate. ..... You are one of a kind". Tony is facing the camera and smiles, nods his head and says "Yesss". That dialogue and the look on Tony's face, combined with the many references last Friday about Tony being "crazy", makes me wonder if they are going to play the Andre card.

Sami has to be getting tired of having this same argument with Lucas. I can't believe he said "I'm not going to let you do this". She's a grown woman, and he can't stop her from doing what she wants and feels she needs to do. Lucas should shut up and help her or get out of the way. I was surprised to see Rolf since last time I saw him he was getting wheeled around Salem on rollerskates--dead--and then didn't Nicole have him in Victor's stable or something?

I wonder if they are going to explain how Rolf is alive? or is that part of history (dena higley) just going to remain forgotten..

In tomorrow's episode

EJ brings up Rolf as having been the guy bringing her the food and Sami can't believe it saying that guy is dead. So I guess it's sort of mentioned, if not explained.

If this isn't Andre we are seeing then I think they need to tone down things like that moment, because that was a little over the top for me and other than that I LOVE all the eccentricities and evilness of Tony right now.

As far as the bitter, soulless creatures... I don't know... even though Stefano was always bad did we ever see him bitter? I mean we saw him angry at times, but I don't ever remember seeing him vulnerable enough to be bitter. He always seemed like he was having such fun in all the torturing and horrible things he was doing to people. And I guess they have been trying to show the softer side of Stefano with the backstory about Maison Blanche going for low-income housing. Hmmm.

Fabulous scenes and Tony remarks about "next time having bullets in the gun" to EJ strongly implies EJ did not shoot John.

Love how EJ has saved Sami once again.

This should be in "spoiler" tags, not "code" tags.

I've always had doubts that EJ was the one who shot John. He had such a look of surprise on his face after the shots were fired, and he seemed to be looking the other direction. My suspicions of Roman are resurfacing, because the Dimeras seem to be completely ignoring him, and he's the Brady they should want the most.

Wow.

The Tony/EJ scenes are intense. Tony just called EJ out regarding his behavior of Sami. He lit into him about having to extort and rape a woman; especially the likes of Sami. I hope Tony isn't forgetting that he once wanted Sami for himself.

Wow...what a great show..First off the Tony and EJ scenes rocked...James really has turned into a powerhouse performer and its great seeing EJ match wits with Tony..And I'm loving having Thaao back...the dialog today was excellent, as someone else said it was like a buffet of words....Also i'm loving Bart's role in this, as he's really just a sounding board and someone to do the dirty work..It looks like Rolf will have the same purpose...I'd prefer Rolf not be back, but i guess to get this great story this summer we have to take him...

The scenes with Rolf at the hospital trying to poison Sami were exciting...If i were Sami i would be so freaked out...Sami and Lucas had some good scenes, but there was one line in particular from Sami that i loved...Sami reminded Lucas of all the schemes they have done over the years and maybe it was time for them to do some good...

Finally i loved the Nick, Willow, Chelsea, Maggie, and Jett scenes today...Chelsea and Jett are cute together and i like the actor...Also i'm really enjoying the crazy bitch Willow has become..Can't wait for the big showdown tomorrow...Also it was great seeing Maggie in those sunglasses...SR looks wonderful...

I love the chemistry between James and Thaao! They have been playing so well off of each other.

I also really like to see Nick finally grow a set when it comes to Willow. This has been needed long before now.

You can definitely see how the show seems to be quickly redeeming EJ lately. His bursting into the room to stop her from eating the food will probably make him her hero and piss Lucas off.

Overall, this show just keeps getting better! Bring on more!

LOVED Tony vs. EJ. I was so happy we learned a little more about why Tony ended up this way. Perhaps Hogan won't take the easy way out and make him Andre but will chose to redeem him? I hope so. I am glad they mentioned Kristen and how EJ was conceived in a way that helped Kristen hold on to John. The comment Tony made about the gun has me wondering if EJ shot John too. That combined with Roman's weird behavior and his being ignored by the Dimera's makes me wonder. Awesome scenes though.

Bart is being written well. Rolf I don't mind. I see more purpose for him then Bart but as long as they are written like they are now, it will be fine. EJ acted like Rolf has been around for awhile so I don't expect his "death" to be explained. He probably faked it for some reason. Sami/Lucas was ok. Mostly just setup. The end with her and poisoned food was good though. Very dramatic.

Nick looked like hell today and I cheered seeing him tell Willow off. Good to see Maggie and I enjoyed seeing Nick just out with friends. I like Jett alot and feel he is a great addition. Marcus isn't too bad on Days and I think he is a nice complication to Nick/Chelsea. I wonder what the deal is with his girlfriend though.

Good show. Unfortunately, this is the last episode I will see until next Tuesday due to my trip. I will have to play catchup and watch the whole week next week. Then, I will have to comment in all the threads like a post whore :lol: .

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.
