OMFG!

This Bianca/Reese/Baby/Zach/Kendull/Greenlee storyline is amazing. I loved how they toild Green the entire story. And Zach offered? I didnt see that one coming, i thought Bianca had asked him. I LOVED that greens realized he was the father. Those were the scenes of thje day IMHO. I cant wait for Reese to come and eventually kendull to wake up.

the rest of the show was good. Jacob Young sold the jr/babe scenes. The Natalia/Frankie/Angie scenes were great as well.

:rolleyes: I am NOT a Babe fan but c'mon. Don't you feel silly posting this? We all know you hate Babe--why would you think you'd find her death scenes moving?? Did you? *so confused*

I actually, despite her character, found them pretty good and sad.

I thought today was a good day--the script was the best it's been in a while (by script I mean dialogue)--who did it? I still STILL wonder why we haven't had a mention of Stuart, Jack, etc but...

I'm no fan of Babe by any stretch -- and I hated the "You made me a better man" dialogue from JR because, really, when would that have been? After Babe slept with Jamie? Passed off Bianca's baby as his in order to keep living the Chandler lifestyle? Ran off with Jamie and said baby? -- but that goodbye in the chapel had me welling up. Jacob Young is selling this material and that is really unexpected because I never saw this from him when he was on B&B or GH.

Also, when JR carried Babe through the hospital corridor, the music they had playing me reminded me of classic 80s soap music. It was almost Santa Barbaraesque.

I don't know what to make yet about the Binks/Zach baby thing yet. I can't see Kendall objecting to it if she had been asked so I don't understand why they had to make it like this big secret where Bianca couldn't possibly tell her because Kendall hates surprises. :huh:

I can't believe I'm going to say this but --

I like Greenlee in the context of the Kanes and Zach and Bianca and Kendall. For a moment there, I thought she was going to refuse to keep Zinks's baby secret! She has that naughty-little-girl face on. Pulling her out of the Ryan-Aidan toxisphere is doing wonders for her character. Now all we need is for some Jake-Greenlee interaction...

Frankie *sigh* you are so purty.

Love Adam & Erica.

Who is the actor playing Joe Martin again? He has such an authoritative presence.

SO MUCH WORD!

For the first time since right after leo died i saw the REAL greenlee. When she figured out the trusth and just flat out said your the father? and didnt let them try and talk her into thinking otherwise. It just worked. Greenlee was who Greenlee should be. And then earlier in the week her scenes with Jake and Joe were great.

They really need to pull from rylee/ailee and thorw her between jake and amanda - because jake and harley just dont work - and keep her mixed up with kendull, zach, binx, etc.

and becca budig has been beyond fab this week.

By far the best script yet! Kate Hall wrote those Babe/JR scenes beautifully.

I was tearing up like no other during the JR/Babe scenes. I am not a fan of AB, but she sold it. Props to the makeup team too - her pale face was spot on. I can only imagine the buckets of tears coming out my eyes if that were Alexa in those scenes. But kudos - one of the saddest/best death scenes in history.

I'm really going to enjoy the Jesse/Angie/Natalia storyline.

I guess its bc we have different head writers and their take on characters is different.... but it is very strange and jarring to me that Zach isn't crazed about Kendall like he was during her first coma storyline. Its such a stark difference that it feels odd to me. I'm expecting him to be at her bedside and demanding to stay with her through thick and thin. I understand his new baby has been born and he's trying to take care of Bianca, but he doesn't even seem that concerned. Sure, he checked in on her when Jake was performing surgery (which btw, if I had to walk in on my boyfriend having brain surgery during a tornado with the lights out - I'd be bawling my eyes out) --- but I don't know - its weird.

Definitely love that Greenlee has been thrown into the Bianca stuff though. Glad we're not getting more Ryan/Aiden/Greenlee aftermath drama.

Also, love that David Hayward is back!!! :)

Babe's death has been well done so far, but I know I'm going to get seriously annoyed by the Babe = Love BS that every character on this show will now be forced to spout for the next four weeks. I particularly dread what TPTB will make Bianca say.

And much as I appreciated Bobbie Eakes' acting yesterday, I am ready to mute all the "Whhhhhhhy, Gawd? Whhhhhhy did you take mah Baby Doll? Babe was the kindest, most saintliest girl that ever did live!" dialogue she will doubtless be delivering.

    • 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
