You perfectly captured what I think would happen if Owen turns out to be Ridge's son. It makes a lot of sense then why they wouldn't play out obvious angle with Owen with Felicia (despite their smoldering chemistry) cause it would be incest. Owen and Marcus coming to town around the same time kind of matches up nicely - a new Logan, a new Forrester. Plus it would make total sense now why they didn't cast him as Thomas like I always say they should have.

He has to be Ridge Jr!! Oh and I like your idea for Patty/Tawny!

LOL.

You know, I enjoyed the Wednesday 10/10 episode. Not so much because of the new Brooke-Taylor thing they started today...but because of Bridget.

Now, I have not enjoyed Bridget since forever. The doormat thing really didn't work for me.

But this strong-spined Bridget...such a counterpoint to every other woman on the show except Stephanie...PERFECT. I hope they keep this strong Bridget forever. I could really get into her.

And I continue to miss the real Taylor...strong, stable, sensible, wise...

I'm glad we're at least seeing Taylor. I just wish we'd see her without Rick. There's really nothing for her to do at the moment, unless there's another custody battle.

I don't really know where Bridget goes from here. She's been with about every guy on the canvas except for Owen. And I don't really see that happening anytime soon. I hope they start to explore a real risk of complications with Katie's pregnancy. They can't let that off the hook that easily.

Something has to come up because the only story we're about to have is the Eric/Donna sl.

It was, surprise surprise, Patrick Mulcahey.

A coma is like a TRAIN??? Sometimes, patients just get off, look around the station, and then continue on their journey??? Did he write that??

Foot washing??? FOOT washing????

A shaft of light signifies the finger of god, and power of prayer...and Eric just miraculously wakes up????

My goodness.....

Well....it does make ATWT look like Shakespeare. 'Cause no matter how lame our psychovillians are...they don't tie up a woman, slather her in honey, and then drive a bear away by banging two sticks together (something I learned wouldn't work in the original version of The Parent Trap.)

The coma train words DO need to be transcribed. I will do this over the weekend, unless someone else has them.

The irony is that I so enjoyed the actor. He used to play Sophia's consort, Marcello, on Santa Barbara. I ached for him...that he had to say the coma-train lines.

The subsequent foot washing was even more beyond the pale.

You mean this:

DR. SEIFERT: A coma has its own direction. We do not know where it is taking him, and neither does he. Sometimes it will come to a station and stop, and the traveler will step out on the platform, look around, say hello and travel on.

And that's a shock for me. On Santa Barbara and GH, Mulcahey was a witty, exciting and subtle writer, with a great ear for dialogue, both humoristic and dramatic. He was also a great storyteller. He was the one who essentially write the Mason & Julia love story on SB and constructed the character of Carly on GH when Guza did not know quite what to do with her.

He also wrote a seminal GH episode -- Clink-Boom, back in 1997. Yes, it is dramatic, but what it is not is florid... sappy... overwrought... overwritten.

So, what the hell kind of sub-romance pulp is he writing on B&B?! And why?!

I DO love the fact that Bridget is getting her anger back -- hopefully getting her balls back. I haven't been able to tear my eyes away from Ashley Jones.

Everything else, though? A big load of nothing. We've had two weeks of Donna & Owen about to shtupp... and then nothing. How many times has Eric blinked awke from his coma... and then seemingly has not woken up at all? How many times has Stephanie kissed Eric, vowing to take care of him? "At last, we're a family. Just like we were always meant to be." You'd think that, at 19 minutes long, they want to cram more stuff into the show.

I'm actually just waiting for someone to come and say how B&B is not really his kind of soap opera. Puhleez! :lol: If he were the soap God those people portray him to be, he would have found a way to infuse some normal dialogue into all this. Yeah, more often than not he really is given crappy material, but GH is cr*p every day, yet the dialogue is splendid.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.

    • 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
