So EE's weird pacing strikes again. Not that I will be sorry to see the destruction of the Masood family on a breather, but apparently Christian and Syed will not be seen for about 5-6 weeks. This story was already poorly done to begin with and these lengthy gaps just make it even more hollow.

I'm glad to get a break from them but the show has severely damaged Masood and Zainab as characters for this mess and that's just on hold? And once again, like when Syed married Amira, the more demanding material takes place offcamera, while endless variations of "Syed's eyes well up over (anything and everything)" and "Christian furrows his brow as he does his Joan Crawford impression" take up weeks and weeks of airtime.

I just hope they take some time to explore Zainab's point of view because as of now it's just oh, she's a horrible mother and a homophobe, she wants her son dead, poor Syed. I don't really care about Syed because he is such a one-note wet blanket no matter what scenes he has but Zainab used to be a great character before this story began.

I wonder if they plan on bringing Amira back at some point when Preeya's music career undoubtedly flops. Preeya's said as much in interviews.

Have you heard her first single "Shimmy?" I don't like it, but I'm not fond of Bhangra-pop.

It's OK (kind of reminds me of the old playground song, "Shimmy Shimmy coco pop..."), but it's a bit too busy and mechanical.

I liked Amira but the show treated her as just a plot device. I don't think we will see her again, unless it's for one or two days to clear up the bit about her being pregnant.

I'm watching clips of Sharon's 2001 return. I just LOVED the way it was handled, and the look on Peggy's face when she realized that Sharon had bought the Vic. :lol:

My PBS station was airing Sharon's final year or so of her original stint at the time, so I knew the character, and I was watching the show in near real time on BBC America at the time. So, I knew who Sharon was, but I didn't know at the time she was returning, so it really shocked me when she was the new owner of the Vic then.

Can we get rid of Ronnie and Roxy and bring Sharon back, PLEASE!!!

I hated Laura, so I really loved it when my girl Janine would get under her skin and revel in it, like in this clip:

    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
