Zach/Kendall

I am really shocked that this couple is not nearly falling apart or feeling so many after effects due to the one night stand between Aidan/Kendall. Now this is a sign of a strong couple! Of course, I am loving that they are getting stronger and not letting this slip up get in the way of their happiness

I loved Tad/Dixie getting to live their lives together, but it disheartens me that TIIC don't realize how important this couple is to the show. Now they need to bring her back alive!

Adam/JR were also good today.

I kind of found myself liking the Tad and Dixie scenes cause they were actually not badly written

*looks around* Did I say that outloud? LOL

Well forgive me for quoting Carruthers, but she was right "Apart they're NOT whole, together they're INVINCIBLE"

The Tad and Dixie were really sweet. Loved the 'slap some lovin on ya' line lol. Honestly Tad and Dixie were winning me over, before TPTB made their stupid decision

LOVED LOVED LOVED Zach and Kendall today. That was the Zen I fell in love with ^_^

The Jesse and Angie/JR and Adam scenes were also enjoyable

Kate Hall needs to be promoted ASAP! She writes consistently good episodes, I think she's one of AMC's better writers

AMAZING episode. This old school Tad and Dixie fan thoroughly enjoyed those scenes. Why oh why did they have to kill her off when they did? Timing was beyond horrible

One quote of hers where I agree.....that is rare

I just finished watching 4 straight episodes of All My Children and didn't fast forward through any of the scenes! Amazing! Anyway, I loved the Tad and Dixie scenes today. They should've been the new Ruth and Joe! Michael E. Knight and Cady McClain play off of each other really well.

The only think I didn't like about this episode was the editing. I thought it was poorly done. Did anyone notice that when JR and Adam were talking to each other, that one second adam is sitting on the sofa and the next when JR turns around, Adam is sitting in the chair?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to next week.

I noticed that immediately, too. I think something was cut for time and it couldn't be helped.

Ditto...I thought the entire episode was very strong and agree that if this is the kind of thing that Kate Hall can do consistently, then she deserves to move up the ranks. This show just made me want the Tad and Dixie story all the more!

Just wish this stuff with Greenlee and Kendall would wrap...hated when Zach said they were like "sisters". That just makes me think it's NEVER going to end. If they insist on this, I would at least like to see Kendall and Greenlee on an even playing field...seems like Kendall is the one always trying to keep this friendship together. Better still, make them rivals without the men folk. Kendall can start a rival company and the angst can create "internal" strife between the girls and their significant others. This sleeping with or lingering over each others partners is just getting tired.

ICAM. I did enjoy the Tad and Dixie scenes but one day does not make up for something that should have played out in real time and which I will never forgive them for until Dixie is brought back alive. I waited 20 years for Dixie and Tad to have their daughter - not just Tad. It's disappointing and disheartening how clueless TIIC remain.

I loved Adam/JR today. I thought Jacob was fantastic (of course DC always is).

I also enjoyed the tenderness and true love displayed by Angie/Jesse and Zendall.

With no Greenlee/Aidan or Ryan/Annie it was a very nice break. They all need to stay away for a long time - especially Greenlee.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
