LOL about Nick/Max. So true.

Trent was such an poorly conceived character (not surprised! ;)).

They still have great chemistry, but I don't want them together right now. If they're gonna go back to pairing these two, Dena is going to have to do a lot to get my back on their bandwagon. Right now, I'm really enjoying Nick/Melanie, so I loved it when Nick told Chelsea to stay away from him if she's going to have issues with Melanie.

Well of course it was. Somebody has to "witness" Nicole threatning Trent.

I just hope this leads to the end of their relationship! This was another poorly conceived idea!

I know!! They're acting like BFFs! So unbelievable.

Well i love the Nicole & Chloe friendship. Foe one, nither one has ANY friends. And number two, nothing can unit enemies like a common enemy. And they both hate Sami and want her men, so... plus, i dont see them as BFF's, more like Frenemies.

I also do NOT want Nick & Chelsea back together. At all. Ever. I use to lovre them, but i hate how boring she is when shes with him. I want her to just be single and date around, i hate thew soaps feel every young person must be in a relationship.

Caroline grabbing the knife was sooooo stupid! LMAO!!!!!

And the motives for Trent's murder are so weak too!

And we're suppose to believe Nick could kill trent? Melanie could kill Trent? Caroline could kill Trent?

The only two are are slightly believable are Max and Nicole.

But I'm pretty sure I know who the killer is - Claude's goon(s).

Dena Higley cannot plot at all! LOL

I'm bummed that it looks like Bo is going to be the new commissioner. I really wanted Hope to get the position, and I still hope she does. I just feel that it would do wonders for Bo and Hope, storylinewise, to have Hope be Bo's boss. It would cause so much conflict between them and it would totally be in character for both. It's not that hard to put this together, and I was actually looking forward to seeing the writers do this. I'm still hoping they do.

Poor Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans. They were once the show's core, most popular couple and now, they're stuck in this supporting role as the third wheel supercouple that was once occupied by Jack and Jennifer. The couple that never gets a serious storyline about them, and is only on the show support the other characters. IMO, that third supercouple is not necessary and unless they're goign to write for Steve and Kayla, then these two need to be written out. It's such a waste for Nichols and Evans to not be in roles that are actually being featured. They're too talented.

Anyways, back to the show. I liked having Steve and Kayla join Bo and Hope at Chez Rouge. I will give Higley and her team one thing, they do make the town feel like a close-knit community, and I got that feel today with the dinner scenes. These were just simple scenes that are nice to have when you have more high tense things (like Trent's murder mystery build up, as disappointing as it is). One thing I would have did different though, I would have made Steve mention that he felt uncomfortable in the upscale restaurant. I don't know. I just look at Steve in Chez Rouge and I feel that he doesn't belong there, and I think he would feel that way too. I'm not upset that they didn't have him mention this, but it would have been a nice nod to his character. He's defintiely not one to enjoy going to these upscale places to dine. He's more of a Cheatin' Heart guy. I feel that under Hogan's team, they would have made mention to this. They were pretty good at incorporating simple character nods into the daily dialogue. It's just nice to have.

I wish that I could get into the Kate/Daniel/Chelsea storyline, but I just can't. It's unbelievable for me. First of all, I can't picture Chelsea falling for Daniel, and I can't see Daniel honestly falling for Chelsea in return. So the storyline, from its beginning, never got me hooked. And now, you throw in Kate, and I still feel that there's no point to this storyline. It's not interesting to me at all. I'm only interested when it's Kate, dealing with her illness and surrounded by her sons. When she's in scenes with Daniel, I just don't care. I thought Lauren Koslow and Shawn Christian would have chemistry together, but I don't see it. Even if Chelsea is slowly being phased out of this story, I'm still not interested in a story with Daniel and Kate.

I'd actually throw Daniel at Nicole's direction. I'm sorry, but I cannot see the so-called chemistry that many many many others see when looking at EJ and Nicole. I just don't see it. They look forced to me. I don't even think their personalities mesh well together. They just turn me off, so I don't usually pay attention to their scenes, and that includes today with their scenes at the pub. Who cares...

As much as I enjoy Molly Burnett's acting abilities, I wouldn't be too upset if she's the other actress that's supposedly leaving and the writers decide to write Melanie out. I wouldn't mind seeing her return as Jeannie Donovan though. It would be so much better, and they could still go for a pairing with Nick.

The scenes at the pub with Mickey and Maggie discussing the restaurant going green was completely ridiculous. The way Maggie was reacting to the letter she got, you would think she just won the damn lottery. Who the hell cares that you're going to be certified? Mickey and Maggie acted like they just saw Jesus, himself, walk into Chez Rouge. Are you kidding me? And no, I'm not blaming all of the green talk on the writers. I get the feeling that this is NBC pushing the show to promote going green. However, it is up to the writers and it is their job to incorporate going green into the show. And I would think there would be a more subtle way of incorporating this movement into the show than what we've been seeing. I'm sorry, but no one talks this way about going green. The way Mickey and Maggie acted today, and the way Bo and Hope have acted in the past, you would think they based their entire lives on going green. It's unbelievable. I'm not saying that they shouldn't promote this cause, but writers, please, do better at fitting it into the show.

Love Max. Hate Stephanie. Period.

I will say that the graveyard scenes were very well done up until the end. I liked seeing Caroline talking to Grandpa Shawn and telling him everything. It's about time we saw her visit her damn husband's gravesite. And I liked how they had Trent watching Caroline. At first, I was thinking that the person watching Caroline was one of the suspects, who had just killed Trent and Caroline was going to walk around and then find Trent's body. But to have it be Trent, walking, slowly hoping to find help, and breathing heavily, it was well done. However, once Caroline saw Trent walking towards her and he fell onto her, the scenes turned to [!@#$%^&*]. First of all, I hated how he landed ontop of her. That wasn't so bad though. But to have Caroline, who is the mother of two police officers and the mother of a doctor, reach down and grab the knife and take it out of Trent's back was stupid and it made her look dumb. Because of Roman and Bo, Caroline should've known that she shouldn't touch the knife because her fingerprints would be on it. And because of Kayla, she should know that if a knife is in someone's back, you don't take it out because it could cause paralysis. But no, you have Caroline removing the knife from Trent's back, stupidly. And how convenient that Bo and Hope just happened to be on their way to visit Grandpa Shawn's grave when Caroline is holding the knife. Bad execution if you ask me. I think it could've been done better.

Not a bad show, but I wouldn't say it was a great one either. I will give them something though. They actually ended with a decent Friday cliffhanger.

I want some sort of conflict for Bo/Hope too.

This is another couple that needs conflict.

And what happened to Joe when Stefano kidnapped him? Is that storyline being dropped?

I love Molly but Melanie needs a lot of work.

Yup. The execution was brutal at the end. It was so dumb.

    • 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
