I really thought Alicia Minshew nailed her scenes today - the emotion, anger, sadness - all perfectly delivered. I especially loved the part when she was talking about the toys in the crib. The dialogue for all the Kenlee scenes was phenominal.

I am so in love with the character of Annie right now - and I loved the scenes with her deaf father. It really reminded me of old-time AMC. I'm really curious to know the full story behind all of this. I also loved how Annie's mother's name was Emma, which makes me believe that Annie really loved her mother (which is why she named her daughter after her) - but I'm REALLY curious as to how Emma died. I bet Annie unfortunately (and accidently) had something to do with it....just my guess.

Oh - and why does EVERY cemetary in the AMC world look alike? No matter where they are, the cemetaries all have 1 tombstone, located in the same exact spot, surrounded by the same exact trees. C'mon set designers - let's get a little more creative!

Jonathan/Ava/JR/Amanda was ok - I liked how Amanda got annoyed and put JR in his place and badmouthed Jonathan - but JR was way too into Ava's business. I didn't get that part - why he kept looking at her and bringing up how bad a person she is. I doubt he's INTO her like some are saying - but he sure can't get over her (LIKE I AM!). Jeff Branson actually did a better job of not being as creepy - and his flirting was a little more sexy than normal.

Was it just me, or did Babe's hair look extra-blonde today? Anyway - really liked how Di wouldn't give up the info that Annie wanted her to keep quiet. Di is such a good friend...too bad she's leaving.

I noticed that. I hope Mandy doesn't get short changed for that ho. We have enough Ava we don't need a triangle with her in the middle of the neanderthals known as Jonathan and JR.

You didn't miss anything.

I don't want JR and Ava happening. Why is Ava eating the show. Levenn is getting heavily shoved down our throats with these writers.

Isn't it sad. Levenn was phenomenal as Lily. But she does horrid work when she is forced into the hateable role of Ava Benton. Levenn is so much better as Lily. She's like the oppostie of Bree Williamson :lol:

The Great Ryan Detective

Clues clues clues! It looks like he definitely needs them to find super duper Annie Fanny Banany so he goes to the Fusion office, ferrets flying left and right, but nary any Annie in sight. Uh oh so where to look next? Perhaps look deep inside the treasure cave filled with private part shaped gold pieces and the mysterious six thousand pound Zebra who has lost its stripes and had it replaced with a Dynamite Kiddo tattoo on its holy arse? After all, everything has to be holy in his holiness' sight so that means everything turns to holiness. Oh yippy just more of Ryan pontificating that he cannot find his beloved Annie. Well geez Ryan since when does it say you have to spend literally every second of every day with your wife? Give her some breathing room so that way she can actually gasp for air and sound like Scott Peterson running from one million Bubbas on his escape from Death Row (speaking of which, that would be the ideal place for his truly). The great little detective that Ryan is just keeps going to the typical places when the best clues can be found in the unlikeliest places of all. How about Sir Ryanovich go check underneath the cervix shaped pool and see if Annie left him a note as to where she went. That would be a head start but with Ryan he thinks a head start includes starting out with negative IQ points. No no no! Now where should the doomed detective look? Inside Sally Struthers' leftovers? Oh what a day it is seeing Ryan practice detective

It was a better episode than Tuesday's but did anyone else notice they had the same breakdown writer, scriptwriter, and director? I hope this was a one-time thing because Cohen can't write two good scripts in a row (and God only knows how bad Courtney Bugler's would be).

I agree that the Kendall/Greenlee scenes were the highlight. My only problem was the tray of surgical tools in Spike's room. Where did they come from and why would they be there?

Annie/Walter left me cold because it felt so cliche. I think it's obvious Annie somehow contributed to her mother's death and if that's the case, I hope this story isn't dragged out too long.

Ryan has been bullying, self-righteous, and annoying for the last two episodes. What right does he have to badger Di about Annie? Since when does she owe him any answers about his own wife?

JR's sudden interest in Ava disgusts me. It's bad enough that the show is pushing for an Ava/Jon pairing, but throwing JR into the mix just makes me hate her even more. At least JR has chemistry with Amanda.

    • I saw a conversation yesterday with Liam with the 7 dwarves hat and Steffy -  I know she did not say re: Hope and Liam said - well look at Finn and you forgave him right?      I know I did not hear Steffy say “well but you can’t compare that to…”  For *uck sake someone call the bitch out!?     You’re right, we shouldn’t compare your forgiveness for the dude with devil spawn seed whose daughter locked you in a cage along with crazy stepmom/mom/Grandmother who has also SHOT YOU BOTH - and multiple murder attempts but you have to exist with them / Hope’s part in a takeover which you know was FAR LESS THAN CARTER BECAUSE HOPE IS NOT AN ATTORNEY…. Goodness no, no the same thing at alllllllll.   When they do Steffy’s absence at least let it be because they all find out what a manipulative ho she is in her own right.      
    • I think a lot of us still agree with that. I do hope that the resurgence in the soap world with Beyond the Gates will push ABC to either bring back these shows or produce a newer one.
    • So, this was fun. Elsewhere, friendly to polls, a poll on what do you want to see at the Nurses Ball. The Gio reveal got 18%, for Blaze to return & sing also got 18%, for Jennifer Hudson to do a cameo & sing got 10% and for Lucy to lose various parts of clothing got 9% but the huge one was the reveal of Drew/Nina sex which got a whopping 45%!  
    •   I liked the effect of the curtains closing. Yeah it was like the end of Act I.   Or maybe they are simply trying to emphasize the drama of the end of an episode -- instead of a random abrupt end that has happened in some prior episodes.
    • I posted this in the behind the scenes thread but I know this thread is busier so wanted to mention it here as well. During their instagram live yesterday, Daphnee Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant mentioned that they will find out this month if the show is renewed for another season. Just a heads up so we can keep an eye out for an announcement and keep our fingers crossed for a multi-year renewal!
    • They haven't explained the ownership of the Bistro, but Doug told Holly the other day he didn't get the job there. Basically Roman just hired Doug on the spot and gave him a room.  It was really nice of Roman.  I don't know if he knows who Doug is or that he stole Julie's necklace.  That was unclear-at least to me.
    • I'm not sure how I felt about it, but I do kind of like that it felt like the show telling us this concludes the first chapter of the series. Could be interesting if they only do it for big aftermath episodes. The biggest mistake with Martin is that it's almost hard to buy his anger because we've gotten no strong scenes with him and his parents. They've all been with Anita/Vernon. I can't even remember him ever even saying one word to Nicole, even in passing.
    •   Thank you! Agreed on both posts. And the comments about Mike Manning are nonsense. 
    • I haven't watched yet, but did they explain the current ownership of The Bistro?  Because when RonC was writing, wasn't he applying for work with Sophia?
    • I think Brandon has gotten better in normal day to day scenes, but he’s very over the top when the character is meant to be angry or agitated. I did laugh when she started yelling at Leslie and then when he started to throw all those damn books, lol. He needs an acting coach to work out some of these kinks.
