The Doctors

Another tense hour. Ralph has gone beyond the deep end, waiting to get the "word," to kill everyone. Can't wait to see what happens next! Poor Carolee, she always has trouble getting people to listen to her (and she's usually right with her instincts). Loved the Nick & Althea scenes, especially when he thought she was teasing him on the phone and then when she was cradling him in her arms. wub.png

Not to mention when they were gripping each others' hands while sitting on the bench. That was really sweet, too.

Carolee already knew that Ralph was a cuckoo bird - and had warned him he was lucky she hadn't called the police after he tried to sneak Lila out of the hospital. I wonder why she didn't follow her gut instinct and call the cops after the three doctors had been in there with Ralph for over an hour.

I wish Nathan Bunker had been there to take Ralph on!!!!

Still pushing my way through whenever I get a chance to watch. The Ruth stuff is probably my favorite storyline as of now, and there was an episode that began with a tight close-up of her as she attempts to pour a drink then walks across her living room, the theme music swelling and the title card appearing over her face. AMAZING intro. Mel Brandt almost announces the show's title and tagline in a whisper as so not to disturb the scene. Great stuff.

Nathan Bunker...idk. I hate him, but he's so bold in his !@#$%^&*] ways, it's almost funny.

Pollimeriwevuh and the Little Boy Doctor are making me sad :(

Karen is still such a desperate, disgusting shrew. Her obsession with Matt is so bizarre and tiresome.

I hope we get to see Bunker walk too. Well, if Matt had been hurt, Karen will be useless too, so maybe Ed will have to pitch in. Only one shot was fired so far though. Maybe Anderson shot himself or the shot was deflected somehow.

AllMyShadiows, I got a big kick out of Bunker when he was stirring things up. The actor was just so good. Now I just plain love him and he turned in to one of my favorite characters.

Today's episodes were very calm - kind of a welcome respite from the tense drama featured all week.

High points - the Drs. Powers, Althea and Nick having a collective "awwwwwwwwwwww" for "poor" Steve all by himself in the clinic, who hasn't had a lunch break or any break of any kind!! (I probably would have joined in. LOL!)

Matt and Maggie reaffirming their love in both episodes.

Althea and Nick in the clinic when she tends to his wound. Those two have totally sucked me in. Althea, let the poor man kiss you already!! Just look in those big brown eyes and see how much he loves you!! (Who wouldn't want someone they love to look at them the way Nick looks at Althea?)

I had to giggle when Carolee, so happy everything turned out OK, turned to leave Dr. Powers' office after taking dictation and tripped. That's so totally something that would happen to me. LOL!!

Liz, wake up and smell the coffee!!! The thrill is gone for Dr. Aldrich as far as you are concerned.

New rejected titles:

He's Just Not That Into You...Anymore (Steve and Liz)

You, Me and Carolee

I love the camaraderie between the fab four[Maggie, Matt, Althea and Nick]. You can just tell they enjoyed working together.

Herr Werner needs to take a chill pill....she needs to take the stick out of her ...............

Steve the cad sure did fall for the Ice Princess? Eh?

Liz , get yourself a clue...time to check into another hotel.....

Not to be picky, but that would be Fraulein (Miss) Werner. "Herr" is German for "Mister". (Sorry, I come from strong German stock on both sides of my family!!)

Yes - Matt, Maggie, Althea and Nick are definitely the Fab Four of Hope Memorial.

After the crisis had passed, I kept cracking up at Carolee's Jimmy Cagney references.

Liz, forget Steve, give the extra ticket to Carolee and have a fun girls' night out. Better yet, exchange the tickets for a round trip on the Clue Bus.

Today we saw the appearance of a character who will grow in importance in the future- already her presence is affecting a certain couple. On the other hand- I actually feel for The Kooky Kraut despite her lingering affection for Matt. I mean- after what happened with Steve..... Also, were there really psychedelic swimwear on the market in 1968?

I don't know, but I cracked up during the "demonstration" of the bikini because we all knew a certain someone would walk in right in the middle of it. Sure enough!! LOL

Someone a few pages back asked what Althea's maiden name was. I guess we can confirm now that it is Hamilton.

What was up with that "earth mother" dress Maggie was wearing in episode 2? Holy cow!!

By the way, I loved the news of Matt's son Mike getting set to graduate college and come back home. It was hilarious watching the father trying to read his son's letter, due to the latter's illegible handwriting and the suggestion of buying him a typewriter as a graduation gift. LOL

    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
