EXCELLENT Cliffhanger FRIDAY!!

So my theory on the showdown being shown on TV like in TX was not accurate on less they show it on Monday? Either way it was a great standoff and it actually gave me chills. All the yelling and screaming from the SWAT team to brody, Shane calling out for his dad, and Gigi/Rex trying to hold back Shane was some great directing IMO. The only show I think who does it better is GH but someone always dies at the end of their standoffs, I don't see this being the case here.

Did Brody shoot the gun though? I wasn't sure if I heard it go off. If he did I am assuming thee police will shoot back...

Surprising developments with Cole walking in on Ray and Clint, this is getting interesting.

Janet recognizing Viki's picture threw me for a loop because immediately after they showed Gigi/Rex in the car. I was thinking well maybe that is Gigi's mom but then her reaction to Jessica's picture was weird also.

I would love for her to be Irene but I think she's too young, but at this point I won't hold it against them because it got my attention and got my imagination going again. I do wonder if it really is Irene why she didn't mention she had a son as well. And, Irene was the original reason that Viki split into Niki. Gosh, the conversations those two could have...

Loved OLTL this week... especially the Brody/Rex/Gigi stuff. I thought RC did a phenom job with the PTSD stuff with and the flashbacks were excellent. Does anyone know if the actor (Mark something) is on contract? Oh, and Robin Strasser rocked it... enough said! I also loved the Janice/Todd stuff. So intriguing! I know the 40th anniversary stuff stunk but I am really lovin OLTL now~!

And? When have we heard anything about Gigi's family? I think that line that Janet said was supposed to lead into the reason of why Gigi never talks about her family bc she and her mother have been seperated for years. Its not like they have been on the show for years and we've seen their relationship. Gigi has an entire history that we know absolutely nothing about

Yeah, the family comment could be about Gigi, but the looks comment can't be about Gigi unless they were seperated when Gigi was very little. If it was only, say, 10 years ago, Janet would know what Gigi looks like. Or unless, Janet just mean "looks" like how Gigi's hair is and how her body has changed. So if Janet means that, yeah, it could be Gigi.

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
