I always laugh at this Truemans vs. Slaters fight. It gets particularly hilarious when Patrick has Mo in a headlock.

I hope Kat wears lots of animal prints on her return!

Today's episode:

Wow, Bianca mentioned Alan, so they haven't forgotten about him.

The scenes with Carol and that recruiting officer were funny and typical Carol.

I really hate Whitney when she's in all-Billie mode, like she was today. He's not worth it, ugh.

Mo's homophobia. :lol:

I really enjoy Denise and Zainab's friendship. They didn't have to play out the scenes with Denise first being back at home with her family, but I'm glad they did. I can understand Chelsea wanting to leave after all that's happened.

Had I not already known Phil would slap the sh!t out of Peggy, I would have been shocked by the cliffhanger. Though, didn't Grant also slap the sh!t out of her once too?

I'm looking forward to Thursday's episode with Lisa's one-off appearance.

Grant did slap Peggy, but it was more of an accident. Phi deliberately slapped the hell out of Peggy today. I can't stand her or her cretin sons. It was only a matter of time before they turned on her, but that slap was damn disrespectful.

I didn't really enjoy today's show. However, it was good to see Denise home. I don't blame Chelsea for wanting to get away from the Square.

I like Denise and Zainab's friendship, but I can't get over how poorly Zainab has treated her own son. I hope Denise confronts her on this issue when she finds out that Syed is gay.

I'm glad that Carol is getting man. I can't imagine him putting up with her for very long though.

Mo's homophobic comments were perfectly stupid. I love Kirkwood throwing that rubbish back into the faces of the bigots watching and making them feel like fools.

I think what really stung Phil and got that reaction out of him was Peggy of all people calling him a bad father and saying Louise would be better off without him.

She's done nothing but whitewash the mistakes of her children and stick up for them when she knows they're wrong. It's a bit surprising that she told Phil that.

Mo: Last thing we need is YMCA blasting off at all hours! :lol:

True. Where Peggy is concerned it is usually the woman's fault never her precious sons. Every once in a blue moon her eyes are opened and she sees them for the monsters that they are. It isn't a coincidence that Grant "accidentally" slapped her when she was confronting him about his violence towards women and mentioned that Sharon was right to leave him. You can check out the clip on YT.

Michelle was a strange character in that she was often a very selfish, dour person, but I usually couldn't help feeling sorry for her and wanting her to get what she wanted, even when she was being pretty callous (like the way she treated Lofty). Susan Tully was an amazing actress, ridiculously underrated.

Without her there is no real reason to ever see Michelle again unless they find a brilliant actress to take the role over and they know how to write Michelle, which won't be easy.

    • I guess it's because the stories on "Hotel" tended to be very...melodramatic, lol?  I mean, it seems like every episode had long-lost lovers reuniting or people finding out someone they knew and/or loved was dying.  And then there was the time Anne Baxter was strung out on dope, lol. Brandon Stoddard must've envied what the other Brandon (Tartikoff) was doing at NBC.
    • Given some of the things that have been said I am going to quote the preface to an analysis I researched & posted about the desired demos when JFP was EP of AW. And, that is more than enough about that, from me.  
    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
