Pretty good show except for Anna's hideous jacket!

Loved the DiMen jockeying for position before Stefano gets back. Add in some Marlena and Anna in the same household?....Looks like some good stuff coming next week.

"Not even a girl's Grandmother is safe around you!" HA! best line of the relationship! So glad Chan is over, and so glad the show FINALLY acknowledged that Daniel and Kate knew how Chealsea felt and basically didn't care. That's just what I thought.

Wonder when Ed's stuff ends? It will be interesting to see if the show remnainins as good as it has been the last several weeks or if we go back to snoozeville.

Me too. They were one of the worst couples EVER! I hope Dena realizes they sucked and they won't be getting back together.

I'm a J/M fan I hated their cheap sex - it happened twice now (today and after the plane crash). <_<

Loved Stefano's phone call, "Prepare my room." :lol:

So glad Dan and Chelsea are done, i agree one of the worst couples i've ever seen on Days...Looking forward to Chelsea being moved into a storyline with Nick and Melanie so i can enjoy her again..

I did enjoy Tony and Anna moving into the mansion and Stefano's phone call at the end...Also i loved EJ's longsleeve shirt..I remember liking it the last time he wore it..

I usually hate one-night-stands on TV, but I enjoyed today's J&M scene, and I loved the fight leading up to it because the conversation was so touching. I loved that it was honest, it wasen't all mushy and starry eyed. She said what she needed to say to him as he said what he wanted to.

I actually loved the look on her face when she realized what she'd just done. Marlena doesn't have one-night-stands, so I thought they did it very well. It was with John, but not really, yet still... Complicated. There's a connection but she's still mourning her husband, and she's confused.

And I loved the look on her face when he said "sensational!" It was so cute. Kind of like "Are you for real? Are you serious?"...

Plus, the leg? Kind of mindblowingly awesome. Though very, very suggestive! They rarely have done J&M scenes like that. It's always under covers, and you imagine it, but this was very suggestive, though more realistic. Which I liked.

And I loved the pre-mansion convo. I liked the kiss, it was kind of awkward but cute.

Weird to see Marlena actually working..It's nice to see moments of the Old John slowly slipping out, but I'm also glad the comedic Jawn is showing signs again..When Jawn first came about he was hilarious, and he kinda got dull for a while there, but this episode he had a few moments of making me literally laugh out loud.

Eve Plumb was awesome. Give this woman a contract! It as nice to see someone who looked her age with class.

The Chelsea/Dan/Kate stuff was rather underwhelming, but I'm glad Chan is over.

The Jarlena stuff? Right up til Marlena went "OOOH, john!" it was OK. I kinda liked hearing her talk without air in her voice and acting strong for once. But, he crooked his little finger, and she went all gaspy pudding on him. Funny thing is, that wasn't a love scene, or even a sex scene. If I was a fan, I'd be disappointed. I'm NOT a fan, so I'm perfectly happy I didn't have to tune out all that much. I really expected John to thump his chest a la Tarzan there at the end. I just found it sad, rather pathetic, and more of a token for Jarlena fans than a real touching love scene. Right after he opened his big yap, she went back to being tough, "I'm more than just a lay" Marlena. Very weird. But, obviously my opinion. It's apparent others enjoyed it. Yay for freedom of choice! :D

Highlight of the show for me was seeing Tony, Anna, and EJ, especially EJ's shirt. And Eve Plumb.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
