I don't think Erica should hold back at all calling someone out on baby stealing, which is exactly what Greenlee did. Sure Erica did it too, but she paid for it, admitted guilt.... so IMO she has all the room to talk down to Greenlee and Babe.

Amen, my Sam McCall-loving friend! A-frickin'-men!

The bottom line is that the Erica character has never liked Greenlee in the first place (she tolerated her as best she could because of Jack, but even that only went so far) -- so for her to be empathetic to a woman she has NEVER liked after attempting to steal her grandchild would definitely be odd!

I'm all for recalling history and for characters having their past actions brought up, but what difference would it make in this situation? Erica doesn't like Greenlee for numerous reasons that date back to Enchantment days. I doubt having Erica be reminded about Maddie is going to make her suddenly bond or empathize with Greenlee. Plus, at the end of the day Erica's grandson was in a tragic car crash because of Greenlee's carelessness -- she has a right to be angry. Baby stealing or not.

I totally understand Erica being unwilling to emptathize and forgive greenlee. Totally in character. Erica is not thinking about Maddie. I thought Jack might have reminded her since she was being pretty to HIS daughter. I'm not sayign Erica would epmpathize BUT I think that historically, someone COULD and SHOULD remind her. At the very least it would have made me feel like the writers are in tune to the show's history. This is especially true because Erica was going ON and On to jack about how he has no right to protect her. I'm thinking "HELLO, he defended you during the trial!" If I was Jack I would have called her on that.

Yeah, I agree with those who've said Greenlee and Erica have never liked one another. I've always thought it was because the two characters were a lot a like. You know, selfish, bitchy, and even down right pathetic at times.

Yeah, Erica should be pissed at the woman who endangered the life of her grandchild. BTW, has Erica ever called herself a grandmother yet or anyone else for that matter? :rolleyes:

people said for years that Susan Lucci had it in her contract that Erica would never be made into a grandmother and that was one of the conspiracy theories for why Bianca was made into a lesbian. Years later, Erica has 3 grandkids so that rumor has effectively been squashed

I've never understood why people make such a big deal about that. So she doesn't say grandchilren, and? She loves them, that's all that matters. She could call them anything she wants as long as she loves them. :) But it's a very Erica thing to do not to say grandkids. LOL Doesn't surprise me, but doesn't make me think any less of her or her love for them. In fact, that's like the one thing that I think has been consistent with Erica all these years.

I don't know why people think that Susan is so vain. Nothing I've ever seen or heard from her would support that position.

    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
