Zach Slater is a dick.

I'm not a big David fan so I didn't care about his return but I have to admit that I find him riveting in spite of myself. Welcome back VI!

I know that the focus is on the sextet, dead!Babe and the Bianca baby so the Hubbards are one of the "B" stories right now. But I'm really looking forward to their story. I hope they get the same level of time and energy as other "A" stories when the time comes.

Kudos to the behind-the-scenes people. Episodes like this really highlight their talent. The people behind the stage direction, set design, editing and stuntwork deserve credit and acknowledgment. And I know some people were unimpressed with the SFX but I could easily point to primetime shows that had FX of the same quality. Judge that however you will.

Did I mention that Zach Slater is a dick?

I am a Zen fan, but not a hardcore one. I really despise when fan bases play that game. No couple's fan base should have that much power. In fact if anything, I am more annoyed with Zach. I don't doubt his love for Kendall, but I think what he has done with Bianca is betrayal. I really loved the talk in the stairway between Jake & Taylor. It's not like he didn't regret what happened. I think coming from Africa, he most likely didn't have those rules.

I agree! I thought it was a great week. I loved all the different storylines going on. Way to use most of the cast.

That she was hot. :)

I just kept shaking my head whenever Zach went all "I'm going to sue this hospital" and went after Jake. I don't like this beat of the story. Like you, I hope it doesn't lead to something more. <_<

I thought it was a good episode, but not quite as good as Thursday's.

Zach is a total prick!

Once again, I loved the Angie/Jesse/Frankie scenes.

It was so great to have David back in action! I can't wait for him to start his next revenge scheme.

I liked the Bianca/Greenlee scenes. These past few days, Greenlee has been much less smug and more human. I can actually watch her when she's written this way.

I'm glad Bianca didn't have a final scene with Babe.

I'm intrigued by the note left for Ryan & Annie.

I loved the cliffhanger of Zach throwing Taylor down the stairs!

Alexa was amazing through out most of her tenure at AMC. I think the sad thing about AMC now is that it has bled out so much of it's young talent in such a short period of time. I remember once upon a time AMC had such a strong set of younger actors most of which were female leads such as Eden, Alexa, Levenn, Tanisha, Kelli, Elizabeth and others I can't remember but now. None of the younger leading actors now can fill that void. There is a very real lack of talent in the younger set and it shows.The cast lacks a lot of young talented players and it shows.

    • Heffa? Girl, bye? MONA!!!!!!!!!!! I'm rolling. 
    • It was just inexcusable. SMH. I'm surprised Lisa Brown didn't change it somehow. 
    • So many things would have had to be different for Mary to want to go back to Reginald. It could have been interesting if it had been handled completely differently but as it was we had a very black and white Mary good/Reginald bad. If she had been able to ignore his worldly crimes and how he treated his own children there was still the fact that he had separated her from her children. Maybe if they had shown us more intimacy and affection between them and had allowed him to have real vulnerabilities it could have worked but as it played out they didn't do much to present him with any sympathetic hook. There are a lot of ways to define wanting things to work. Fans are mostly thinking of preserving or restoring characters and an atmosphere that drew them to the show. The sponsor may only be thinking of the bottom line. When a producer or HW comes in and decides that their vision will deliver for the bottom line and they need to fire most of the cast in order to do it it can feel very much like not caring. 
    • I remember this getting a lot of criticism at the time.
    • Maeve breaks me reading that letter. If you ever need to cry, look it up. Other than the dopey line about Henry wanting to come home to Van's rice (or tapioca) pudding (VANESSA CHAMBERLAIN DOES NOT COOK, Y'all...) it's a sweet sign-off to one of the best father/daughter relationships on soaps. Other than Ross, and Bill (if he says something, which I assume he does) and the letter, the rest of it is BS. I haven't watched it in a while, but it typifies what I dislike most about events that should be laden in history. The writers are too lazy to do the work and get it right. And it becomes about making sure characters X, Y and Z make their guarantees. Roger being there is an abomination. Henry never ever saw Nola as a gold-digger. She and Quint were practically engaged before he even knew Quint was his son. Before that, he was fairly close to Bea and enjoyed Nola's spirit. And Henry never helped Rick become an Eagle Scout.  I get that maybe you don't want to play Amanda#1 or Dinahs 1&2, or Billy, Trish or Alan #1 clips, but damn it....don't make stuff up. I'd have much rather watched clips from Henry, Vanessa and Ross' early days than Rick blather on, or nuMichelle try and dig for a human-like emotion or wonder why after TEN YEARS, Dinah and Quint have never met.   Do not remember anyone named Tina. I barely remember Dahlia, and that's mostly because for a while, I saw Sharon Leal in everything after she left GL.   Reva and Josh airhogs? ALWAYS, darling. ALWAYS. RME. I hate to tar and feather Robert Newman with that brush, but DAMN. 
    • Oooooooooooooo a Jazmen script off of a Sara Bibel breakdown.    I'm intrigued. Lol. Yeah, one thing I can say for sure...when SilkPress is about to have a crazy moment, they do give her music. 
    • I am so happy now. Reminds me of the 80s show I loved. Ron really did the cast and fans dirty. The only people complaining are those who only knew Ron and his whiplash plot driven stories
