Didn't watch today and it appears neither did a lot of other people since no one started the thread for this week.

Just curious if anyone has any thoughts? And is it true that Nora waved her magic wand and restored BE to the Buchanans as sort of a footnote to today's episode? If so, what a tremendous letdown. The loss of BE was a huge story, but the gaining it back . . . what was that? A sidenote to the Gigi/Rex loves that transcends the time space continuum story?

LOL! We're on a roll DP. I think we've agreed twice this past week (although for the life of me I can't remember what the first time was about).

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'll just watch LOST online. I got "lost" after the first season so I am picking up where I left off and I am fascinated. So much entertainment, so little time.

I went and checked my temperature! :o I am normal, but I don't know about you. ;)

It's just crazy. And that Nora is the one who put the screws to Dorian and blackmailed her into giving it up? Makes Noral look so dayum hypocritical. Makes you wonder if they just never had an "ending" in mind or if it was abbreviated, and if the latter, is there something that will take it's place. If so, I bet it's more Gigi/Rex. This time Gigi will be kidnapped by Brody and she will communicate telepathically with Rex so he can rescue her for a change.

speaking of Clint, why the heck hasnt Viki gone over to Buch mansion and seen him yet? She's been back for a few days now, going around town searching for Jared, Jessica and Natalie, yet wouldnt it make sense to check in on the twins' father to see if he might have any info? This is another example of how disjointed this show is and how isolated the stories are. Its as if the show has several different headwriters in charge of each story and they are only allowed to use a certain amount of characters each

I sort of agree there. Enjoying OLTL a ton but I don't like how Viki in specific has been isolated since her return, although I'm giving Ron time to weave her back in. Although one thing I have noticed during Ron's tenure is that she rarely has had scenes with Clint. There was that one time after she returned to Llanview earlier this year and a few times during Nash's death, but they pretty much don't interact on-screen anymore.

What I am really waiting for is her to interact with Dorian. I want to see the Charlie stuff exposed and them to have an all out fight!

Today wasn't the best but wasn't the worst. And strangely, I don't know why but I really didn't mind Dorian giving BE back so quickly. Maybe this is JMO, but as much as I've loved the story maybe its time to move on to the next step.

I know what you mean.......I was like "What the hell!?!" All that drama around losing the company, and then in like five minutes Nora gets Dorian to give it back. And they don't even show Dorian agreeing to the deal...it's like "I'll give you ten minutes to think about it." and then a few minutes later, Nora hands the paperwork over to Clint. :lol:

That screamed rewrite to me, too. But then, we knew the exit of Ray and the premature end of this story was a sudden rewrite. I assume it ties together behind the scenes. But I was glad Nora got to be proactive. Sure, she bent the rules but both Clint and Dorian have already broken the law in egregious ways during this fight, so why shouldn't Nora play them against each other to end it.

Wherever the show is going from here with these stories cleared I hope it gets us out of Tarty and Joblair.

What's left for November sweeps BESIDE Tarty and JoBlair? Somehow I guess Natalie and Jared will narrowly escape Wyle Coyotess's evil clutches, but BE is restored, the Dorian/Ray/Langston stuff seems resolved, Gigi and Rex are together and safe and sound. All the stories I was interested in have come to a close or are near closure. And there is no mystery for me about how they will all end although the specifics might be fuzzy. What a dud!

Of all the stories to rewrite, why this one? It was working better than the rest IMO and the build up had been substantial. I just can't believe all we got was an oh by the way, Nora convinced Dorian to give BE back. Pffffft.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.

      The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.

      Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though

      Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.

      While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.

      Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.
