Katie's not a bitch. She's in pain. She has her BROTHER'S heart in her, who killed himself for HER, since SHE misunderstood what he was doing. Go ahead and make peace with that! She's mourning, she's just had a heart-transplant, she's in denial, she's shocked, angry, repulsed. Calling her a bitch is an over-over-oversimplification IMO. :)

Anyways, great episode. Nick is now far more tolerable--Alden paved this way for this less jerk-y Nick during recent weeks and I'm glad it's continuing. He was downright adorable with Katie and I love the underlying romantic feelings that his actions have. Ashley Jones was just fantastic. I'm very glad they let her show her grief and had Bridget accuse herself of what happened to Storm. Also nice to see Rick and Eric interract (was this their first one on one scene?). Poor Rick, Eric doesn't even think about him :lol: And that ending scene was extremely great. Heather Tom has been nailing it. She should get an Emmy for this.

Great stuff from B&B today! Janice Ferri Esser wrote a very Y&R-like script in terms of dialogue ("a vessel for Storm's heart!") and I loved it! :lol: Nice stuff between Stephanie and Eric. I really love how they have captured both sides of the heart-transplant issue. You don't get too many multi-dimensional scenes on daytime anymore.

Heather Tom: I bow at your feet. You are a goddess.

Katie was right that Storm's actions should not be celebrated. This situation would not have taken place if Storm did not buy the gun in the first place.

Heather Tom rocked in her scenes today with Brooke and Donna.

I am really enjoying B&B. I haven't changed the channel once. All of the actors have shown such restraint, nobody has gone over the top. It's great. I really like Stephanie and Eric broken up but friendly. Susan Flannery looks like she's lost a noticible amount of weight, good for her.

The way B&B is right now is classic Y&R. It's that special brand of melodrama and darkness which made Y&R so compulsively watchable. Kudos to the whole writing team, it's great stuff.

Re the Katiee isee - I love it. She did have a role into the acoan that led to all of this. She overreacted, and rightfully show IMHO, and ended up getting shot. Storm did kill himself. Yes he did it to make sure katie would get aheart, but think of it from katies POV. Her brother killed himself so she could live. That must really suck for a person, honestly. I can see both sides of it. Donna wants to place Stormie on a pedistool. Katie cant do that, she feels resposable for what happened. Brooke seems to understand both sides. I love this storyline. Very good move B&B.

Also, i think heather Tom is playing this perfect. You can see the anger and pain as well as the sadness and the hurt all at once. Not over the top at all. But then again, this is heather tom. when is she not perfect?

I am also love the bridgett/nick situation. i am very intersted to see where it goes with bridgett/nick/katie.

me either. For once, Im on Donna's side. I loved her defending her brother. Im glad Katie feels guilty for what happened bc it was her overreaction which landed her in the position she is in. Girl better go sign up for some major therapy bc a super bitter Katie will be annoying as hell

It's Brooke and Donna's relentless propping of Storm's actions as "heroic" that grates on my nerves. They're not even saying it was a tragedy that Storm was so screwed up that his actions (re: Steph, Stephen and even his beginning obsession with Ash) lead to this horrible, horrible situation. They're acting as if everything had been normal in his life, and one day, his honor and duty led him to kill himself so Katie could live.

Also, I'm a little miffed Brooke hasn't been a little more focused on her last harsh words to him, and acting as if part of the reason he probably shot himself was because he didn't want to be someone's bitch in jail.

And how crazy it is that TWO CBS shows have stories about reluctant heart transplant reciepients going on at the exact same time?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
