It was a weird episode for me for some reason but I liked that it had so many stories and characters on.

Sam and Dre were written out so fast and it seems so was Dre being up for murder but I did liek that we got a final scene with Erica (even when I don't think characters work I HATE when new writers come in and write them out with no goodbye scene or anything).

OK and I like Josh--I know it sucks how he was introduced but I think COlin adds a lot to the show and not just eye candy for me--in all reality he should be where Aiden is--they basically seem to want them to have similar characters (with Josh maybe being more of a sneak/cad), both actors have the model looks but Josh has more talent *and* more charisma with various females than Aiden ever has. I've been avoiding spoilers but this whoel story has me concerned--and a little confused. That said while i think it came out of nowhere, the actual writing was p-retty well done--Zach aknowledged that he completely understood Josh's reasoning with his dad, etc, and I'm interested to see where it places Erica--I was gettign a bit sick of her adoration for Zach. And c'mon--like Josh or hate him, of course Kendall wouldnt' stand by while Zach basically tries to kill him.

The Annie/Richie/Petey scene was beyond weird but was also kinda clever and I liked the playful tone now added to her banter with Richie. And liked the brief Frankie/Angie/Jake stuff

I also love the mixture of characters in each episode but parts of it were still flat to me, especially Greenlee/Aiden. Did she really say Ryan taught her how to love? So much for poor Leo!

Sam/Erica never worked as a couple for me and I think too much time was wasted on their goodbye.

I would have liked to have seen more of Angie/Frankie and Pete/Colby. Pete was hilarious again.

Zach/Sonny and Kendall/Carly need to STFU and leave Pine Valley before they drag the show down any further!

Annie hitting Ryan with the truth was the highlight for me. I also loved her banter with Richie when she was setting up Pete to leave marks on her arms. Too bad we know she won't succeed, because I'm rooting for her to kill Greenlee.

At least Kendall is allowed to keep a little of her backbone. Carly probably would have agreed to let Sonny kill her brother.

No soap writes women worse than GH, imo. I can't really see Zach killing Josh either. More like blackmailing him to leave town, but AMC has a habit of trashing characters they no longer want, so Josh had to betray his family. I was never a big CE fan, but it annoys me.

    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
    • @Efulton thank you. I don't know how I missed it or didn't recall it.  I'll blame amnesia . Anyway @Errol Could the newer thread be merged to the existing? Thanks in advance.
    • I just finished watching and I have to admit, not once did I find myself wondering who wasn't there. Quick question for anyone who followed this better than I did: was it only Andrew who rescued Cat and John from Clyde, or was Shane involved too? The reactions during their scenes today felt a little off to me. I know it was meant to be vague, but I didn't find it strange that they already knew each other.  
    • Yeah, financially, Luna is in better shape than Deacon and Sheila.   -- Scott Clifton must have decided to chew the scenery in every scene of this "Liam is Dying" storyline. Yikes.  
    • If J.R. wasn't busy with Ewing Oil, he'd be a heckuva soap recapper. He was SO gleeful at recapping Jenna-Bobby-Pam when the trio and Mark encountered each other at the Oil Baron's Ball. That being said, Lucy, presumably Sue Ellen and maybe Ray should all know this story, or at least part of it. Lucy was definitely at Southfork during Jenna and Bobby's relationship, and I believe Sue Ellen was about to marry J.R. around the time Jenna jilted Bobby. (Ray might not have given a damn.)

    • Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive From a May 1980 Broadcasting issue: Meredith Broadcasting in association with Alan Sloan Inc has committed itself to produce series of five half hours in soap opera form, "designed for youngers 11-14 and their parents." Programs, yet untitled, "will deal with problems teen-agers face in their relationships with peers and parents," with script topics reviewed in advance by teachers, psychologists and others. First episode is to air on Meredith's five TV's in September and ground broadcaster also anticipates syndication. If successful, idea is to go to full-fledged series. 
    • Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Looking at an old Broadcast issue with a fall schedule preview. Their description of the show: Lorimar Productions turns its cameras "below the surface of a small, traditional, thriving college town still large controlled by its founders, the Millingtons." Plot elements include "nurtured dreams, closely-held desires, closeted shame and vital truths about friends and family." Lee Rich, Michael Filerman and David Jacobs are executive producers of the Roundelay production, in association with Lorimar.  They also mention the show in a small section about advertising's point of view.  Advertising agency reaction to the new fall line-ups announced by ABC and CBS last week varied. But upfront, some agency types were apprehensive that their advertisers might be turned off by some of the new "titillating" entries. "I'm concerned about the amount of permissiveness," said one executive, with CBS' Secrets of Midland Heights commonly mentioned as one possible offender.
    • I just saw this. Thanks for sharing. The classic Y&R thread may enjoy your posts. It was in very poor taste for Andy Cohen to blindside MTS with that type of question, but I'm not surprised as he's an awful person.
