Yep she was the first writer to go where none has gone before and that is to unabort a fetus. It may not have been boring but it was just plain bizarre ;)

Walking Fetus is great and all since I like Josh but they need to reintroduce him as a new character. Like have him be Erica and Phil's thought to be miscarried son and she just blocked out the pregnancy. She had a c section because Super Fetus was a big baby and Greg Madden, who performed her abortion, stole the baby as revenge for Erica aborting her baby years ago since Greg is a pro life whack a doodle.

Now, I love Greenlee, but why on earth is she mentioning how Spike was rescued from the accident in front of Zach? That's not going to improve the time she has to spend with Zach down there! But, Greens is crazy so w/e.

I loved seeing Myrtle sitting there when Kendall came home with Ian, Eileen Herlie can always brighten up a scene. It's too bad that Zach couldn't have been there to celebrate with them. I liked how Jack blew off Erica's phone call when he was at the Comeback - he doesn't need to be there right now.

and JANET!!! It was so great seeing her again, even if she was pretty drugged up. I doubt that will last long ^_^

Josh truly has been wasted I agree

WHat is with Apologies (the song??) Why do we have the distracting little songscredit whenever it's played--I hope they never do this again--and how come ABC even used it on Desp Housewives this week??? Is it sung by Brian Frons' daughter or something?? :P

OK WHile I'm not all that intereste din the story with Dre and his band I'm almost getting more annoyed that there IS no story with them. He's on contract and we've seen him twice this month I think. The show could do with more characters and stories right now--even newbies I have little interest in (I almost hate to say) lol

Oh I was so with you about giving them a chance. But I didn't even watch P Charles--I thought and still think they did often brilliant work with their last 6 months of The City (which they created) and their year at Loving--and not just the attention getting serial killer sotry but the show in general. In both cases they found a great way of making a modern soap but keeping true to traditional elements. I was hoping they could bring this quality to AMC but... I dunno why they can';t but they've shown no ability to do so or keep the blanace they had on that 30 minute soap so well (maybe Agnes Nixon's credit as Creative COnsultant--a c redit few took too seriously really meant more involvement than we knew...)

Was it ever mentioned why Bianca and Miranda didn't come home to welcome Ian home or did B&E once agian have Kendall and Erica act like Kendall is Erica's only daughter? Mctavish would have NEVER left Bianca out of this story. No writer is half a brain would. However B&E put togetehr don't have half a brain!

I do like that B&E are also using history as well with Erica going to Adam for help on getting someone committed (Adam did it to Dixie) and how Dr. Hilliard and Erica shared a past when she was at Betty Ford and other instances where they bring up history. They obviously know the show...now just write exciting material!

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
    • I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.
    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
    • I hear what you are saying, but I feel there is definitely an opportunity for improvement. If the set problem is to remain, then the whole focus has to change. Business has to take a back seat if there are no sets available to support story. As I have said before return to Jabot and have a number of characters working and interacting there. They seem super reluctant to do it but Victor needs to be a more supporting character.  Eric Braeden seems determined to carry on and that is of course admirable,but keeping Victor as this dominating force has been detrimental. Have a sweet reunion of Sharon and Nick and marry them off for good. Bring on Faith and I'd even have Adamson back as Noah at this point to support Nick/Sharon in a parenting role. They really need to bite the bullet and drop one of the following -Billy, Chelsea, Phyllis or make them recurring like Abby/Ashley with appearances or short term stories when appropriate. Free up some space for new or returning characters- Noah, Allie, Fen, Moses,even a recast Dylan.
