OMG! I freaking forgot that Todd had plastic surgery and no longer looks the same. OMG!

:o :o :o :o :o

Way to freaking use that history, Ron!!! Marty now sees all of her rapists, and yet the story still can continue.

I LOVE IT!

The other three are.......

Zach Rosen

Powell Lord III (Viki's cousin)

and Kevin Buchanan (the innocent one)

Yeah....and remember that Powell was the emotional one who hated what he had done, and eventually wend wacko and raped another girl.

Kevin actually helped Marty just before or after the rape (can't remember which), and in her dazed state she mistakenly accussed him as raping her as well.

I'm so glad Adriana is back. I loved her forbidding Gigi from seeing Rex and telling the doctor not to let her anywhere near him.

And way to go Roxy by sticking it to Bitchy Bangs and asking if she was allowed to see her son. Go Rox!

I missed the last segment and in this segment, Todd is telling Marty about the innocent one, who was Kevin. But did Todd say that it was Kevin who was innocent, or is he lying to Marty again and pointing to his own picture, saying that that man was innocent?

Nice endings to the different storylines!

1. Vanessa calls out a name of a girl and she walks into the room - Who is she?

2. Antonio/Sarah finding out Ray's in Llanview

3. Clint: "I'll take care of Dorian." Dorian enters: "Not if I take care of you first."

4. Cole bumps into John and sees a picture of his mom: "John, what are you doing?"

5. Todd to Marty: "The choice is yours." Marty is about to click on "full story" or "exit"

6. Gig: "I won't let her keep you away from me, Rex, I won't. "

That's how you write an ending to episodes - writing scenes that make you want to tune into the next episode. Nice breakdown today!

As others have said, I just love the fact that they used that old pic with RH. This is the attention to detail that we fans appreciate.

ABC owns that image, but with him being on another network's show that airs in the same timeslot, I wonder how difficult (if at all) it was to get clearance on showing it.

Poor Powell, he was a good guy, kind of had a Mike McBain quality about him. But they runined him turning him into the mad masked rapist, one of the first ways they tried to make us feel sympathy for the obvious suspect, Todd.

Yeah, Kevin despised Todd for a looong time, that's what made the Todd/Victor reveal so explosive for those too, not to mention how pissed Kevin has always been about Viki's seemingly endless forgiveness of her brother.

I agree. As to the photo, I bet OLTL had to get permission from Howarth and ATWT to use that picture. I know that DAYS needed Eileen Davidson's permission to show a picture of Susan back when EJ was revealed to be Elvis.

Today's episode was a fantastic end to a wonderful week. Cliffhangers galore!

I'm slowly getting roped into this storyline with Ray Montez's wife and Cristain. I'm left wondering what is her motive here.

I was floored when they showed Roger Howarth's picture, and it's clever too bc the story can now continue bc Todd had plastic surgery. I just wish they could have used this when Tina returned to town.

Awesome scenes at the hospital. How soapy is it to have Adrianna be the one that Rex first saw after coming to?

    • 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
