It looks like this week is when the tagline goes into effect? I think there are going to be some interesting moments this week and some people may get their eeeeing in.

Here's a link to the promo shown at SSW:

The quality isn't that great and you can't really hear the audio due to the audience screaming but it's enough to get the gist of what's to come.

I'm teasing of course :P

Seriously though. I am happy. I've disliked their storyline from the beginning. I thought it was half-assed agenda based writing that destroyed 3 couples just to bring one to life. However, I can still like them and hate their story. I was a Liason fan going back to the beginning. That is how I wish they would have written them. Having them re-discover their love after being hurt by those who loved them, and coming together, realizing that they were meant to be together.

Instead, we've gotten nothing but out of character writing for them. The way I consider it (and some others), what we're seeing now is Jiz. Half assed writing, etc. etc. Liason, the couple I fell in love with hasn't existed since that blonde bitch came and stole Jason from Elizabeth.

Thanks for the response. I didn't even think my post had gone through because my IE started going bonkers and I had to shut down my pc.

I didn't at all care for Courtney but she and Jason were supposed to be the ultimate couple and one of destiny....see how that worked out. They basically had to negate Jason's feelings for Elizabeth to proceed with that relationship.

I like the way you wanted the story to go and IA with you that it would have been a whole lot better than it is being told but I'm not so fazed by the way it went down though. I don't have a problem with the three couples ending because I've seen them end or derail couples to facilitate others before and I'm not altogether convinced that Ric and Alexis were ended for that purpose either because that also brought about some mother/daughter conflict and had they elected to keep Jason and Sam together the Ric/Alexis thing would have been the same.

If I thought the writers intended on leaving any of the couples in long relationships and then one day just went haywire out of the blue, then I'd find it really odd but I don't think that was the case. Even though it ended up having a trickle effect, I still see the events as also being self contained. As ugly as it looks to some people, they at least got more drama from this route as opposed to everyone realizing their relationships had reached a fork in the road. If I hadn't read online reaction to this, I wouldn't have even given it another thought except for oh so now they're finally putting Elizabeth and Jason together.

Lucky :(

Thank you for punching Saint Jasus.

Down with LIARson! I can't believe Elizabeth lied to Lucky about Jake. I always get sad whenever I watch those Lucky/Liz scenes from the 90's. But Guza is known for destorying a couple to prop up another couple. It's is M.O.

      Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.

      Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.

      I am wholeheartedly enjoying this show. I just haven't been able to post as much as I used to. But yes, this episode needs to be submitted for the EMMYs and there needs to be wins. I better NOT see Y&R, DAYS, or B&B winning in categories over BTG. I feel like the only show that is giving BTG an ounce of competition this season is GH.

      I think it may be that the character was brought in for a specific purpose and then became popular with viewers, and the show didn't know how to respond.  The choice to pivot away from Simon/India may show that you are right and they didn't care for her...although pairing them up may be another sign they didn't care for her. I don't connect well with this period but it does make me happy seeing some of these characters before the great purge and some of the surprises - I'd forgotten the wonderful Maureen O'Sullivan popped up to be bumped off. So typical of soaps by this point, but it doesn't grate as much as later on when Y&R would bring on any random cast member from Small Wonder. I'm also amazed at this time at just how much money the show must have had. The costumes for the Founder's celebration in summer 1984, or whatever it was, looked gorgeous.

      Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving.

      I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
