I am LOVING the show today. The DiMera's are owning and I'm loving Anna..She's such a different character than everyone else on the show. A breath of fresh air.

Loved Tony talking about killing Celeste.

I don't even know where to BEGIN.

Each and every scene is making me squeal louder in delight. The dueling family meetings, the mention of Renee, the slap, Anna's return, Roman's reaction to her.

This is DOOL GOLD!

BRAVO!

That E.J./Tony Forced hug has hilarious.

Anna is a fresh breath of air, Leann Hunley is a great actress. DOOL/Corday would be stupid not to sign her to a contract

Motherfricking podunk hostage crisis. Thank goodness I'm hope to set the tape to record the SoapNet ep. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrr!!!

I can see why Leann is an Emmy winner. Not many actors would deliver such a comfortable and assured performance on their first day.

Its funny, the majority of the boards seem to be loving this vet-centric episode, i personally can't wait to watch it..It sounds wonderful....But Soap City and the Marlena board still can't stand the show..the Marlena board is pissed Marlena isn't the center of the storyline, and they tend to have a big presence on SC boards as well...I swear it seems like people just bitch about stuff for the hell of it...i wish i could just join the boards and tell them to shut up, i understand complaining when the show is bad...But its not bad right now, its pretty good...

Another thing: there's such a great dynamic within the DiMeras now. It used to be Stefano and Tony (and even EJ to a certain extent) all had the same dialogue/personalities. Today we got to see all the different points of view of the DiMeras. They felt like a real family (albeit dysfunctional), as opposed to cartoon villains.

OMG! I think this stupid bank hostage crap is going to preempt my entire episode here. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh!!! Now I want to take hostages.

Technically, her first day was yesterday on the docks with her head covered. But yes, I get what you're saying.

The mention of Renee followed by the slap!

EJ and Tony's forced hug. LMAO

The dialoge between the Dimeras was really good. Loved the crown line by Stefano, "....trying on the crown for size while the king isn't dead yet!"

I wish Lexie was there so all the Dimeras would've been there.

It was nice seeing Anna today. Don't know much about her but she seems fun. So what's the history between Anna/Roman and Anna/Tony?

Fantastic episode!!!

Global listed Jim Baffico as director and Bettina Bradbury as script writer - did NBC list the same?

Someone else correct me if any of this is wrong but from what I know...

Anna was married to Roman off screen and came to Salem with Carrie in tow. Roman thought she was dead. They divorced soon after she returned and as far as I know never had any romance actually on the show. Stefano had hired her to spy on Roman and she became Tony's secretary. Anna wound up drugging Tony and scheming to get him to marry her because she wanted him for his money and title, but she wound up actually falling in love with him. They wound up running a fashion company together and having a really turbulent relationship including her discovering he was being held in a dungeon by Stefano when Andre was the Salem Slasher. Tony and Anna later got married for real but divorced before both actors left the show mid-80s.

OMG this episode was FANTASTIC! How the hell is this the same show I watched yesterday?

The DiMera dysfunction was awesome, except I could do without Bart. His antic's always take me out of the scene. Loved Celeste. The smack made me jump out of my seat! History used, layers to the villains, the Tony/EJ hate! So So good!

The Brady meeting addressed some things too. At least Sami asked OMB why he hadn't mentioned her resemblance to Colleen before, even though he didn't answer it really looked like it was to painful. Anna return was fantastic! Loved Sami little look of discomfort when roman hugged Anna. Totally in character. Marlena's attitude also was correct. Those two always had issues. Anna wanting to be paid for helping was just the right touch.

I don't know what the LF is pissed about. DH got a nice little scene with Sami. I thought it was pretty good.

Still can't figure out how Colleen is EJ and Tony's Great Aunt though, anybody know?

Also why didn't Hope just call Julie to translate the letters?

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.
