I actually found the episode very anti climatic.... and really didn't move much however Jesse and Angie gave me chills..... I am surprised at how fast they are moving that though..... because its refreshing and in a good way. I love it.

Jesse & Angie were the ONLY good parts.

FF Kendall & Mumbles, same [!@#$%^&*], different day with them: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I felt bad for Annie, Ryan's an ass

This pregnancy scare ish is beyond stupid. Kendall would have known LAST MONTH if she was pregnant :rolleyes:

I don't know if it's true Adam, but I read Debbi & Darnell have short term contracts so that might be why TIIC are moving so fast with them. If not, then I'm guessing they're trying to get a ratings spike....

I don't see how they couldn't have known what they were getting in to. They both worked for this show when it was at its pinnacle and the critical darling of daytime. They are smart people. They probably felt the show was on death's door.... and they were available, and would try to revive this once storied drama.... or at least be a part of it.

Unfortunately its going to take more than the great acting presence of these two to save this show, but they are a start.

Also both her and Darnell worked with B&E at Loving and The City..... so they are full aware of their writing style.

I am sure they both know what they signed up for as does any actor in this industry. LOL They still need a pay check and as cliche as that sounds its the truth.

I know my workplace is a disaster and I continue working there knowing that because I do need a paycheck LOL

I didn't get a chance to watch today's show yet, but I heard that J&A were pretty good. I'm excited to see it and I'm pleased with the pace of the storytelling. In addition, here's a link to an article that gives insight on why AMC asked them back and why they came back.

And I have a question, Erica...I barely see her...has her airtime decreased since she and Jack divorced.

Most women dont realize they are pregnant till they are about 6 weeks along. Its been about 7-8 weeks real time so its not too far off

Im glad Jessie and Angie didnt get their reunion today bc I felt it would have been too soon and anticlimatic. I like what I saw in the promo for the week better

I wonder why though that Angie and Frankie have both seen Jessie and neither have even thought he was Jacob, even if for a small split second. It kind of makes Angie look stupid talking about how she could imagine Jessie looking as an older person when she married his lookalike who is still very much alive

3rd cycle? She hasnt even passed her 2nd. They had sex on the week ending Dec 21, right before Christmas. Her next cycle would have been around that time in Jan. Its been about 3 weeks, which seems about right for when women realize tehy are pregnant in real life give or take a week. And with Kendall being so stressed out and preoccupied recently, it isnt a far fetch that her cycle would be off balance. Not to mention that this is a soap where 1 day lasts for days and/or weeks. AMC wasnt too far off at all with this. This is right about time I would think she'd start suspecting if she were preggers

I'm starting to think that SL wants decreased airtime, but on the otherhand she blasts tiic in SOD for the show not being balanced. I don't what is going on there????

Todays show: I only liked the angie and jesse parts. I can't wait till erica/sam meet face to face tomorrow. I have a feeling that skank pam set erica up or is part of the set up. La Kane doesn't play like that with her finances.

So since Ryan has amnesia, how the hell does he know how to find Zach & Kendall's house? Gotta love how he just barges right in, ugh

I feel for Annie, Ryan's treating her like dog dookie

WTH was taking them so long, we saw Mario Van Peebles like one time, then nothing, and now FINALLY we see him

I can't wait to see Erica & Samuel interact :D

    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
