I don't think people know about his past at all except for Bernice and I think Robert. From what I've collected from tonight's episode, it seems like Chrissie just learned her damn self. 

 

@DRW50 how did you feel about the discussion between Chrissie and Lawrence tonight? 

 

That aside, I am over Lawrence OK'ing his daughter and grandson's actions. Bernice should've slapped the tar out of Chrissie for being the one to film her in the shower. 

 

Poor Pearl. I hate how she has to suffer b/c of Rhona and Paddy's actions. Glad that they placed her at Edna's house with Harriet. I wonder if they are going to finally address that happened to Edna or just have her live offscreen for good.

Bernice handled it better than most would have. Chrissie is pathetic. She's a child, and that's on Lawrence. Louise Marwood didn't seem to be able to handle the material - she just goes back to shouting and whining way too much. If Chrissie were more likeable I wouldn't care, but she isn't, so I do.

 

The scenes had their moments, but the show's refusal to clarify Lawrence's sexuality means it has no real impact, and instead comes across as offensive. Is he gay? Is he asexual? Does the show think they're the same thing? Why is the show so afraid to talk about sexuality when they're the ones who wrote these stories in the first place?

 

I think they will likely kill Edna offscreen and have a service for her. They're probably just waiting.

For anyone who watches the classic episodes - I'm trying to upload what of 1996 I have, but I'm missing most of March and April. You can find the Susie/Emma/Zoe portions of those episodes starting here:

Susie was a lot of fun. It's a shame she didn't stay longer.

@DRW50 & @Bright Eyes, did you enjoy tonight's scenes with Rhona/Paddy/Marlon? So funny how this story started off weird and is becoming so well. It is all because of the great acting of Zoe Henry. I swear this story reminds me so much of Maureen/Ed on Guiding Light and how it should've ended (as I've said before). I just enjoy watching Rhona take Paddy through the wringer along with the emotional toll it is taking on her. 

 

I loved Priya's hen party with Leyla, Harriet, David, and Kerry. It was funny when Kerry tried getting David to be the stripper, and Leyla and Priya both took at jab at David's supposed 'shortcomings.' I would've still been happy to see him glistening in baby oil.

Zoe Henry has been brilliant at spitting out the snarky, wounding one-liners to Paddy. Long may it continue. 

I don't understand what they're doing with Leyla. One minute she's all set to marry Nikhil, and now she's swooning over Jai again. Has she been lobotomised? And has Jai really changed or is he still a snake?

She only wanted to marry Nikhil because it was the "right" thing to do. Sadly, her feelings for Jai have been horribly consistent. If Rik had wanted to stay I do wonder if she would have fallen for Nikhil.

      GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!

      Falcon Crest

      By te. · Posted

      I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.

      It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.

      Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.

      Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.

      French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.

      I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up.

      I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?

      Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
