Damn, go Michael!

[soapluva]

LOL @ Michael/Keys/ Todd

[ian]

If it was still Nathaniel, I could so get behind him gutting Todd like a fish... but I'm not feeling it so much with this new actor, but good dialogue nonetheless.

[Scotty]

Go Michael........open a can of whoop ass on both of them.

Jessica WILL be a Buchanan by blood. I believe it was Ron's plan before the strike hit and I bet he's going to set that up again when the time is right.

[Ryan]

That was the original idea...to undo "Jessica isn't a Buchanan". But the story was changed when Tomlin was the interim writer. Tom and I talked about it on the show. I was overly critical of Tomlin's decision to change the story, but TomCasiLolo (I must come up with a nickname for him that is mine, lol, that's a work in progress) gave me a new outlook. He suggested maybe Gary Tomlin changed the story so that Ron could do it justice when he returned.

Michael's still a lug, and I still wish there was something a little deeper about his character. But I did enjoy his run in with Todd. Just wish I could have bought his "threat" a little more.

[Ryan]

Michael needs to STFU. Baby stealer....

[Toups]

That was great! Love him standing up against Todd and Keyes.

[DrewH]

I don't understand why the even had to make Jessica Mitch's daughter. If the key was bring on Natalie as Viki's daughter, couldn't they have just made her Mitch and Viki's daughter and left Jessica's DNA alone? That's so stupid.

Contrivance and Pimping 101

- From the handbook of a writer wanting to make their own "stamp" on the show and bring on a "legacy" character.

"Thou shall !@#$%^&*] with the history of thy own show in order to make thy new character established and have instant ties. It doesn't matter if thy may undo another's history, what matters is thy shall be forever known as the person who created such story."

[DrewH]

Am I the only one that thinks that Rex is going to turn out to be Mitch's son, and that's why Roxy doesn't want anyone knowing?

[brimike]

No kidding, Drew. Man, to be a fly on the wall of THAT meeting.

I like these Charlie/Natalie scenes. It'll help when battle lines are really drawn in this war.

[Scotty]

Oh, like Sam is better off with his raptist/murderer/criminal Todd Manning.

[brimike]

Jerry verDorn, now THAT'S how you make a THREAT! LOL!
