WHOA! Let me clear that up for ya. :lol: Chris is Bob and Kim's son. Tom is Bob and Lisa's son. Chris and Tom are half brothers. Chris met up with Emily in Paris when she fled the country over Dusty's sex with Alison. They had a relationship before, but this time it looks like Emily is using him. She has a child with Tom too, Daniel.

Ohhhh I meant Bob and Kim - not Tom. lol - I know Tom and Margo are together.

Ok, so has Chris always looked this young...or how old is he supposed to be? So does he have any other brothers in town besides Tom? What would he be to, say, Casey and Adam Hughes?

Chris has no more brothers in town. He's Casey's uncle, but not Adam's, because Adam is Hal and Margo's child. Andy, Frannie and Sabrina are his other siblings, being Kim's son with John and her daughters with Bob. He looks a bit young compared to Bailey Chase, who last played the part. But I'd say he should be pushing 30.

The tone of writing is shocking me. Who would have thought that a priest would recommend more consideration to Jack before getting married again so soon after leaving Katie? It's great that Bob and Chris' prickly relationship has been revisited too. Just last week the roles were reversed and Chris was reluctant to covet a job at Memorial while Bob hoped he'd consider it. Now Bob is concerned about nepotism hurting them both, and having a real disagreement with Kim in the process. PLEASE don't let this be a dream when sweeps are over. :)

To clarify...

Bob's children...

Tom--with Lisa

Frannie--with Jennifer (Kim's sister and Barbara's mother)

Sabrina---with Kim (due to an affair she and Bob had while he was married to Jennifer, they thought the child was stillborn and didn't meet her until she was an adult)

Chris---with Kim

Kim's children...

Andy--with John Dixon

Sabrina and Chris, with Bob.

Chris made a little mistake...Kim and Susan's rivalry goes back to Dan Stewart, Emily's father. But otherwise, it was nice seeing a family get together. I'm still a little worried about Helen Wagner, she always seems to be seated in her scenes. But I think she looked better, in her last appearance she seemed really frail.

sigh...oy, vey....y'almost expect lightening to strike with Carly sitting in a church, talking about "new beginnings" and such. It was amazing to see couple counseling before a marriage...where was this caution before we were forced to sit through the dripping sweetness of the Kack wedding? Oy...this is not going to end well...BUT the PREVIEWS looked gorgeous! I'm stunned at another mini-remote for Carjack. Shocked even!

Ick...Katie's back tomorrow. In all her smirking glory. :(

Well, sometimes it's easier to see a list, especially with all the half-siblings. Your post made it seem (to me) that Frannie and Sabrina were Kim's daughters with Bob. That's not true. Kim helped raise Frannie (from what I remember) and Betsy too (Em's older half-sister...), but she isn't their biological mother.

Chris only has one brother in town, but he does have cousins Paul, Will and Barbara. Barbara's mother (Will and Paul's grandmother) was Kim's sister (Chris's aunt).

I loved the Hughes family gathering today. Too bad Margo wasn't there. I have been really wanting something like this for a long time. And when announced Chris was coming back, I really hoped for a scene with Nancy. To see Tom and Chris with their "Gram" was a real treat.

I'm so tired of the Carly stuff. I really hope after this next phase is over, they give this story some time off.

I think the last time we saw Nancy walk was at Katie's cottage and I noticed Henry always had a hold of her arm and was helping her and she looked frail. I too thought Helen looked better today and you better believe at almost 90 I would be seated also!

I was thrilled that we got to see Nancy with her family! I have waited for this for a long time and was not the least bit disappointed! This really felt like the ATWT I loved for so many years.

I too almost expected Carly to be struck by lightning :P Previews did look gorgeous but we are in for a very bumpy ride.

I did have to wonder exactly what powers that be Emma was talking about because somehow it didn't feel like she meant God to me :lol:

Great show today!

    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
    • I'm not a Derek fan at all (and not even all that much of an Ashley fan, but man has she become awful in their relationship--like she's not even trying.  But also I admit, I don't think I'd ever live with someone, even someone I was married to (I know they're not married) in a bachelor apartment unless I had to.  Even just a one bedroom would make a big difference.  I'd probably end up hiding in the bathroom a lot

    • Going back to this, I'm even more confused why Amanda would say that only a year later (lazy writers), because I'm watching April 29, 1996 right now and literally all of the current on-air Spauldings (Alan, Alex, Amanda, A-M) and Coopers (Buzz, Lucy, Frank, Eleni) are on a plane together for Lucy/A-M's wedding. Along with Reva (which right now makes sense because she's married to Buzz), Dahlia (so out of place, but by default because they can't let a high school kid they just took in stay home alone), and a very random Rick (he's barely had any interaction with any of these characters all year haha).  It's like a madhouse on that plane, which is pretty comical because most of them don't get along... but they very much know each other. Still miffed that Bridget is totally forgotten here. And David. And Nick/Susan! Couldn't they have waited to fire them until after this wedding?  It was only like 2 months later. They had to make Alan be A-M's best man (which is wild to me) bc A-M doesn't even have any real friends on the show right now. 
    • You're right and I do imagine many longtime viewers were put off. I suppose the show felt many of the longtime fans were gone, so in that sense I get it if the show had continued. They should have taken greater care with the generation below Patti. It's hard to remember she was meant to be mother to Sarah. I wonder if that is one of the reasons they killed Sarah before Patti arrived. Or were those different teams?

    • Joel Crothers has finally appeared in this batch of episodes. I first saw him this week on Dark Shadows and that must have summoned him on Edge of Night. Miles and Nicole are back in the swing of things although they have not had much to do.  I still don't like Draper although April is a bit of a loon at the moment with wanting to adopt Raven and Logan's baby. She also slapped Draper and there was no mention of it  later on unless there will be. Ann Williams is such a good actress that I'm on Margo's side even when I should not be. Eliot is such a creep but he's an enjoyable one.  Cliff is such a pest to Deborah although I do like the actor. He's actually attractive so I wish they would stop writing him as such an HR nightmare. I know I shouldn't, but I like the scenes with Cliff and Deborah. They have more chemistry than Deborah and Owen. The actor playing Owen is fine, but he does not have anything with Frances Fisher. Fisher is another great presence on the show. The movie has not gotten far yet. Paige and Brian have been absent for a while. Margo has now been drawn into the movie plot and Nola is more concerned with exposing Owen and Deborah.  Farley Granger has been MIA but I'm assuming he returns.  Logan and Geraldine had a fantastic scene about what to do about the baby. Lois Kibbee is such a treasure. Still enjoying the show. 
    • Understand.  But actually Patti should have been a generation older than Liza. Patti and Janet Bergman (Liza's mother) had been contemporaries a decade earlier.  So when they cast Jacqueline Schultz as Patti, most long-term fans felt it did not ring true.   Sometimes de-aging a character by a few years is successful on soap operas.  But to de-age a character by an entire generation was silly and stretched believability a bit too far.     
    • Thanks. I'm glad they didn't give her a love interest at that time as it would have felt false after Ryder's horrible death.  I can definitely see how Patti would have replaced Liza. Still not sure why they decided to kill off Suzi.

    • @Paul Raven thank you. I knew you would have the skinny on sets. So probably more to come.

        As for recast Ted, I saw him briefly because it's been a busy day, but what little I saw of him...I didn't dislike him as much as I thought I would. Keith felt like Maurice's Ted in a lot of mannerisms and way he had with some things/words. Definitely a different presence from Maurice's Ted, but I still feel like Keith WAS Ted. If that makes sense. Maruice's Ted definitely had a different charisma to him. From the brief scene I saw.   Will probably watch later when I get more time. Sounds like it was a great episode from the parts I've glanced on here earlier.  Speak on it.
