Heh.

Oh, the so-called Smallville duo. Chris B will be happy.

But... I think she fired all the wrong people. And hired all the wrong people (like, for example, the AMC's worst duo consisting of Beall and Kanelos, only Bugler is left). Yeah, those so-called FOLs had baaad moment, but I think they could've been coached and turned into very good writers.

It's a crime not to hire Sara A. Bibel and hire the über-hack Amanda L. Beall. Crime.

So Janice is now again credited as "Janice Ferri Esser." Whoever is doing the credits must be really confused.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Does anybody think that Eva is actually redeemable at this point? Because I have no idea where the writers are even going with Leslie & Eva at this point and I really didn't like how Eva acted with Laura the other day. Am I a moron for wanting to believe the best in Eva? I just don't know anymore.

I somehow missed this one when it aired! It does remind me of the one I posted that had Genie Francis and Marcy Walker in it. There were other soap stars in it too. Terror in the Shadows also had Leigh McCloskey and Victoria Wyndham as costars. Makes me think someone knew soap actors would be a draw.

I wouldn’t put it past them to just drop it and never mention the shooting again. Paging Jagger’s murder, the person sending threatening notes to Ava, and Austin’s shooter to name a few recent ones!

I think had the showrunners not been switched out, I think we would have seen a slower descent for Joshua in season 7 and perhaps the cliffhanger would have been the rooftop confrontation between Lillimae and Joshua.

I've been saying the same thing for the better part of two decades, lol.

And when that crashed and burned, she hooked up with do-it-yourself author Dick Loudon, moved to a quirky little town in Vermont and became an innkeeper and part-time real estate agent (who always wore sweaters).

I get casting Deidre Hall since she was the closest NBCD had to a superstar by that point, but CZP and (RIP) Charleson were stretches for me. Were Susan Lucci and Melody Thomas Scott unavailable or something, lol?

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

Not that there wouldn't have been opportunities! For instance, they could've hired George Takei (there's your ST person) as one of Chao-Li's relatives, who was also after the Nazi treasure. Or they could've hired Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker (a.k.a. C3PO and R2D2) as another team out for the gold (and comic relief for the storyline). Heck, they could've even hired none other "Blofeld" himself, Donald Pleasance, as a sworn enemy of Gustav and his father's, who will stop at nothing, including romancing poor Emma, to keep Riebmann from reclaiming the treasure.

I agree. Especially because it happened so damn quickly, with absolutely no breathing room for him, for Cathy, for all of us.
David Jacobs insisted that was the plan all along, but I doubt it. I think they had every intention of keeping Joshua around for years to come, but Michael Filerman and his ego ruined everything.
I'd still love for someone who was there to explain to us what the original intention was for Empire Valley; was it ALWAYS meant to be revealed as an underground spy network? Because, even if that wasn't how it started, it still feels as if they were leading up to something big. Otherwise, why invest so much time in another real estate development scheme? We'd already been there and done that with Lotus Point.
