I loved the ending. Debbi Morgan is worth every penny they're paying her!

As a longtime Jack/Erica fan, I was glad to see them flirt and kiss, but Jack's jealousy toward Samuel seemed to come out of nowhere.

I couldn't sit through Ryan ranting about how Zach stole his life so I hit the ff button. I couldn't bear to watch much of the fashion show [!@#$%^&*], either.

If it'll continue the pattern of Aiden's love interests leaving after getting involved with him, then, yes, Ryan. There were vibes between him and Josh. Mucho, mucho vibes.

JAIDEN 4 EVAH!!!!

I just watched the train scene on YouTube... I think the whole concept was "fate" stepping in. The whole Ross and Rachel thing of getting on the plane and then having to get off the plane "Did she get off the plane? Did she get off the plane?" "I got off the plane" predictability would've been a little too easy. But to have something neither of them anticipated bringing them back together makes it more "kismet" in a way. Despite Angie's efforts to catch him and seeming to have failed -- and despite Jesse's attempts to leave unnoticed and seeming to have succeeded... something greater than their efforts stepped in and brought them back together.

On a different note, I could only stand to watch that scene once. Debbi was brutally RAW in that scene and whooo, my GOD! It hit too close to home, she was so real. AMC's actors honestly need to take notes from this woman about committing and giving your all to a scene. Then again, Cameron worked with her on Soap Star for like three seasons, and still, all we get is :mellow:

Posters on another board were commenting on the hay that was in the train scenes. Some were saying that it was symbolism for needle in a haystack i.e. finding out that after 20 years, your loved one who you thought was dead, is actually alive. If the hay symbolism was done on purpose, I put money on the fact that B&E didn't think of it. I'm sure it was more Andrew Lee's directing.

I just finally got around to watching this episode late last night and let me tell you, WOW. I haven't been that captivated and emotional about a soap moment in a long long while. I started balling when Angie was running down the tracks screaming for Jesse. The emotion in Angie's face I mean you just connected with her and felt her joy, sorrow what have you. Debbi Morgan is love!

The rest of the show?

Meh.

That's where I lost it as well. THAT was a character driven moment even if it was inside of a recycled plot device (not even B&E's Rafe and Alison moment on Port Charles, but our own Cliff and Nina moment in the 80s as well). I have no trouble believing Angie would jump off the platform and start running down the tracks for Jesse -- whether he was dead or alive. Girlfriend was determined. I think the whole scene was acted and directed beautifully. Right down to Angie's slow, hearbroken walk back to the station.

Debbi Morgan is indeed love in my book. I feel about her now being back on AMC the way I felt in 2006 about Genie Francis' return to GH. The heart that's missing from this show is back. I'm not saying Debbi's the heart of AMC and it's been missing since she's left. I'm just saying Debbi represents when this show had heart. When we had fabulous actors and actresses on this show who created and portrayed layered characters telling rich and emotionally robust stories.

Just one question: Why was Angie at the train station? :unsure:

Thanks. I've been falling short on my commitment. I've said that out of loyalty to AMC and my often request for characters of color back on this show, that I would watch the Hubbards Storyline -- but between work and other activities, I haven't been able to keep up the last two weeks. And since YouTube doesn't have an avid "Tuber" like General Hospital does in CaziGirl or ATWT's Nuke does in LukeVanFan, I haven't been able to watch a lot of the scenes.

    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.

    • A--I wish someone would post a better vid of the entire ball, as it must be out there. And B--nope. Evie is only in a small segment of the ball with Phillip, Rick and Mindy. She doesn't dance at all. Ross dances with Helena and Amanda. I'm not even sure why Evie is at the ball---Vanessa heartily disliked her. I did see that Billy actually asked Henry to introduce him to Vanessa, which I hadn't realized.
    • Honestly, they should've ordered more of 2000 Malibu Road for the 1992-93 midseason and aired it when Knots went on a break. That was probably their best shot.    Then of course they fumbled Central Park West by airing it in the 9PM slot instead of a 10PM slot where it would've been away from the Fox dramas. CPW got its best rating by airing randomly on a Sunday and when it was taken off the air for a "re-tooling", Party of Five's ratings actually had a spike, so clearly they were feeding off each other. But being a smaller network focused on a certain demographic, Fox could afford to be patient Party of Five, CBS couldn't... 
    • Agree on Bruce Gray as Owen; they needed to cast star power. He was too lightweight against Kim and he had no chemistry with Frances Fischer except more gay buddy or daddy figure.  I loved Nola and Eliot together though. Lee Godart should have been longer term.
    • Andre has the worst fashion of the males which is off putting for someone as fine as he is. His jackets and sweaters look dated and no vintage does not work for him
