Today's show was very well done. I was really on the edge of my seat during the last act. Loved the way they cut back and forth between John/Marty and the Woman of the Year banquet.

And like others have posted, the Lindsay/Nora flashbacks were fab! So many hairstyles over the years! LOL! Ms. Hickland looks better now than ever!

I think it will be connected to her knowing that Tommy is Todd's (if she really did kill him); either Lindsay knew ahead of time and Spencer threaten to reveal that or Lindsay went into the room for some reason, Spencer spilled the secret, and she killed him to keep it from getting out.

She was there with Marcie, while she was going through the discovery of her not being able to have children, and at the hospital that day. She, more than anyone, know how much Marcie and Michael love Tommy. And after Jen's death, Lindsay treats Marcie like she's her daughter... so Lindsay in a sense, would do anything to protect her happiness.

I loved Nora's speech, the flashback were nice touches. I was surprised at how many of those scenes I actually remember watching. Tomorrow's episode looks interesting (at least the WOTY part does).

I've really enjoyed the show--for some reason since the special eps last week--itseems to be going ina great direction but... The whole Lindsay thing strikes me as way too forced and random--a turn around just like the whole Tate is suddenly evil thing. And the way John figured it out was SOO laughably random and odd! And then he walks around like he knwos for sure even talking to her photograph? Make it stop. I was hoping he'd have one too many beers on the roof and walk off it...

I feel the same way. Linsday being the killer is so out of left field. Before a few weeks ago there weren't any kind of hints that pointed to her, but now all of a sudden she figured out Tommy was Todd's kids months ago and that's why she killed him? I'm sorry I don't buy it. I think Paige was supposed to be the killer all along. I agree with how laughable it was John put two and two together Lindsay was the killer. GMAB.

This WOTY ceremony and curse tops Nora for me. If it wasn't for Lindsay breaking down during her speech, her talking to Marcie and crying, then talking about Marcie to everyone, and Michael confronting John, loudly... it wouldn't have had been glued to the screen. It's been a while, since I've been really interested in what's to come on Monday for the show.

Though, I'm agreeing with everyone else how left field it seem to be that Lindsay is suddenly the killer (you can kinda tell that they decided, at the last moment, it should be her a week or two ago)... I do love how it still involved Spencer and Todd mess. One of the biggest complaints that I have about soap "who did it?" mysteries like this, is that they don't connect the victim and killer with things they did on screen at all (example: Y&R and who killed Carmen Mesta).

All I have to say is that for at least the next three weeks we will begin to see the Tommy/TJ drama play out. This will means lots of Marcie, Michael, Todd, Blair, John and Lindsay; along with a sprinkling of Nora, Dorian, Bo, Rex, Adriana, and a few others. There will be other stories, but this will be the big one of course. ;)

I remember noticing Lindsay acting strange when Bo came to see her at the gallery. I don't remember when it aired (I want to say about a month or so ago) after Bo left she made an odd comment to herself. That's when they first gave hints it could be her. I think changing the killer to Lindsay (I'll keep saying it was supposed to be Paige :P ) was part of Ron's influence when he became co-head writer.

      THANK YOU SO MUCH. If there was any way we could sticky this post or make it so we don't forget where it is. I'm going to bookmark it for sure! AND WOW... Season 15 - nearly a whole month of skipped episodes. LOL.

      JFP was only as strong as her writers, which is why her output got worse and worse when she decided she was the only writer anyone needed. They could have easily had a decent short-term story with Lando - maybe cast him as a terminal patient at Cedars, or a long-lost Bauer or Reardon who would leave town after his story is done and possibly return at a later date with a recast. Maybe he could have been tied to Maureen's death, somehow - maybe we'd learn, after he ingratiated himself to everyone in Springfield, that he accidentally ran Maureen off the road during the storm. And when he realizes this he would, in shame, leave town, maybe leaving some Springfield lady devastated if they were about to get married (this could have worked with a better Mindy recast, or maybe a brand new character).

      Notes I've made of skipped or faulty YouTube episodes are (I'll put in brackets the faulty ones, the rest are skipped episodes), that would be amazing if they could be replaced by higher quality Netherlands copies when they become available: 

      Please register in order to view this content

      S13: 3170, 3172, 3181 (faulty), 3203 (faulty), 3223 (faulty), 3255, 3278 (faulty), 3345, 3361 (faulty) S14: 3399, 3455 (faulty), 3479 (faulty), 3509 (faulty), 3555 (faulty end credits), 3580, 3600 (faulty), 3613 (faulty) S15: 3658 (faulty), 3667, 3668, 3669, 3670, 3674, 3678, 3679, 3681, 3682, 3684, 3685, 3686, 3690, 3692, 3694, 3696, 3697, 3699, 3709 S16: 4058, 4059, 4109 S17: 4137, 4194, 4262, 4284, 4358, 4362, 4371 S18 so far skipped: 4450, 4451. There may be further S18 episodes to replace in English if there are any further skips on YouTube, as many episodes from this season are just in German in the vault, and if they skip those, then we probably have to wait for an eventual Netherlands airing unless someone currently has them in English (currently the German ones needing to replace to full English for S18 are: 4477, 4485, 4486, 4492, 4493, 4494, 4497, 4514, 4515, 4518, 4520, 4522, 4523, 4524, 4526, 4531, 4538, 4541, 4575, 4612 - hopefully YouTube will not skip these, and they won't be a problem to fix). Also, jumping ahead a bit to future seasons, but does anyone have full English speaking copies of any of 4852, 4897, 5275, 5308, 5590, 5591, 5594 (as these are not in full or at all in English in the vault as far as I can tell)? Many thanks if you do! A million thank yous to all Angels helping out with these.

      I found the reference in the AWHP synopses -- it was 1995 but not directly related to the loanshark.

      One of the dumbest situations (Lando) ever. What audience member is going to invest in a storyline with a recast they don't like and a triangle where one character is short-term? It bombed as it should have done. So much of JFP's tenure just reeks of desperation. I don't get how someone could produce SB (which did have flaws but was often brilliant) but make so many terrible mistakes at GL.   I still think JFP would have worked better as a director and music supervisor. Her music work at SB was top notch.  It just seems that Rea was minimized during JFP's tenure because I can't imagine her okaying so many of these casting choices.

      We see the same with GH, where Mark Teschner, the casting director, reportedly has less say since Frank Valentini took over. Some producers want to take over every aspect of their shows.  I think Lando may have been a CBS push.

      No idea but she won Emmys & she was the Casting Director at the same time for both ATWT & GL. She hired Lisa Brown with no job for her. Then Marland made Brown his muse so he created both Iva & Nola for her. But, I think we know that Jill does what Jill wants.
