I'm watching it too and thus enjoying it so far. I have high definition television and I kind of see what you're saying, Stenbeck. :)

Question: Is that really Jon Hensely's hair? I'm not making fun of him at all, but I just notice these things on high definition.

I think Hensley looks hot. It's a total update on his hunky farm hand look.

Man, today's show brings up ALL SORTS of issues.

Who's running The City Times and WOAK? It's odd that so many people were clueless about Dusty's murder. Kim certainly would have ordered someone to get the news on the airwaves. Bonnie looked like an idiot running to the farm with all the things that went down lately. Couldn't she just call Holden?

I really don't want to be in the position to think Roger Howarth can actually act, so I wish TPTB would just dump the guy and stop trying to diversify Paul.

Why would Susan protect Holden if she thinks Emily did it? She could serve up a suspect and get her daughter off the hook. Unless she hated Dusty enough to not want his murder solved...

The way continuity and history were handled today, I expected Barbara's sadness to be explained in part because Dusty was Gunnar's son. Oh well. Her cancer ordeal becomes quite real when we hear details about salivary glands and taste buds.

I love it when Tom and Margo have conflicting roles in a criminal case. They just can't keep their family members out of trouble!

I guess Dusty's death is not major news in Oakdale. :lol: I loved that Barbara found out about Dusty's death. Instead of skipping through it and her just popping up at the funeral. I am glad she mentioned Bob and how he was doing. It was about time she at least asked about him. I also enjoyed Barbara's scenes with the doctor. It seemed so real after knowing what Colleen went through. The Non Gunnar mention also didnt sit well with me. When she meant family I thought Barbara was going to say he is Gunnar's son. Instead we had to listen to the baby mess again and his marriage to Jennifer. :rolleyes:

Besides that it was a fantastic show!!

LOL...anyone else think the inspiration for Katie and Brad's entire story was a "America's Funniest Home Videos" marathon? Seriously, tumbling down a hill??? (That looked suspiciously like the hill Luke tumbled down....)

I would have been shocked if Barbara had brought up Dusty being Gunnar's son. I don't think it's been mentioned in the FIVE years since he returned. What STUNK was no one mentioning calling John with the news. Not Lucinda, Barb or Margo. And what's with the BS about Margo "liking" Dusty? She hasn't acted like it in the past five years. She's never acted like they were even close at one time.

Now that I'm done griping, I'll mention I thought it was a pretty good episode, aside from the Katie crap. I've got an issue with why Margo and Jack each questioned their relative in this murder investigation, when it would have been more logical for them to switch, Jack questioning Chris, and Margo, Holden and Lily. (Jack looked like he was practically badgering Lily, who didn't even seem all there.) But otherwise, there were nods to history (Paul/Em's convo in particular...geez, it only took about two years for some closure...), Barb's mourning Jen's husband; some family unity (Jack/Holden/Lily, Tom/Chris), and characters interacting outside their usual story bubble (Margo/Jack). It felt like an old-fashioned eppy, in a GOOD way.

And, the previews looked good. Go, Rosanna! And finally, Carly returns. :D

The Brad stuff was ok for me. I liked that it was outdoors.

I forgot about John...LOL. It would have been nice had they gotten John to appear in one episode. The show did seem like an old fashioned episode. I had the same feeling.

Tomorrow's show looks kind of blah to me....LOL. Compared to todays show tomorrow doesnt look as good. We will have to wait and see.

    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
    • Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.
