Just saw your post, Sheila. Yes, I think that's why we get all this developments and scenes that do not happen in the end. If they did, they'd probably bring the episodes to 23-24 minutes.

Friday, March 14th's episode does not include any reference to Stephanie asking Eric how their life would be if Donna wasn't there (a cliffhanger) and Pam pulling a gun to Donna. Yet, half the recap is dedicated to the description of a two minute scene at the beginning of the episode between Bridget and Nick and how Brooke is using him. This is great fun!

Interestingly enough, some of the ATWT recaps are better than the show. Or at least they clarify what you're supposed to "get" from the character's actions.

You might want to check out SOD's recaps. ATWT's are pretty funny, if Jen Lenhart is writing them.
