This Finch guy is a creep and I think he wants to blackmail Liz regarding her disappearance. Has she read the papers yet? She doesn't know her actions have caused a lot of problems! Time to grow up and face the music, Miss Wilson- provided you can get away from your pervert neighbor!

Yes, Liz was in both episodes. Yes, her neighbor/stalker is seriously creepy. He has that Ted Bundy/John Lennon assassin (who I refuse to mention by name) look to him.

I like Martha already - and even Nick didn't chew her out that much. Sadly, Sally Gracie and Gerald Gordon passed away the same week - she on August 13, 2001, and he went four days later on the 17th.

Thank you, Maggie, for verbalizing what we all want to hear - "I want Karen out of my house - NOW!!!" Too bad Matt was out of his office when she said that. Honestly, if Karen came parading up to Matt in a negligee and was purring about how much she admires him, he still wouldn't have a clue!!

I also can't wait for Althea to be back, which sounds like it will be soon. The sooner Dr. Davis and Liz Wilson are back at Hope Memorial, the better - and with the embittered reporter Nathan Bunker lurking around, the fireworks should be fun to watch.

The actress who is playing Polly Meriweather has reminded me, particularly with her voice, of Sallie Gracie ever since I started watching these reruns.

I wonder if Sallie Gracie auditioned for the role of Polly, and the show decided to cast her as Martha instead.

Sallie Gracie had completed a role on The Nurses on ABC since that show had been cancelled.

If I were Nick Bellini I'd go incognito ASAP 'cause the you-know-what is hitting the fan! A lot of people at the hospital will blame him for Liz' situation- breaking the engagement and such. And this is just the thing Bunker can use to try to push Matt out of Hope Memorial. I swear, so many people are in turmoil there, they should call the place Hopeless Memorial!!

It's so cool that TD has a cast list at the end of the episode - very helpful for us trivia buffs.

George L Smith was credited as policeman.Later he became Det Cadman a regular who dated Martha. I'm not sure when Ernie came on and am wondering if this was the beginning of the role -rather like Carolee Campbell appearing as an under five and evolving into a regular.

They splurged on the budget with these episodes-more extras,a TV, wind machine!

Guess Pam Toll was just lying down and the angle made it appear she was hanging on for dear life.

The last couple of episodes have really been a window to the past, haven't they? No 50", HD flat screen TV for these folks! Fuzzy picture and rabbit ears! Then, you have the rotary phones. LOL I wonder if they are going to catch the creepy guy responsible for Liz climbing onto the ledge in the first place - I wouldn't mind leaving him alone in a room with Dr. Nick "Raging Bull" Bellini!!!!

    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
