I think like alot of Phyllis bashers, some can not forget the Phyllis of 14 years ago and confuse her with the character on the screen of today. Phyllis has come up with a well thought out plan and if you watch her carefully the inneundo of her comments are making Nick think with the head on his shoulders instead of the one between his legs. If Phyllis had been standoffish when Nick came home he would have known something was wrong...Nick is the one that says "forget Paris" and

it seems that Nick wants to forget the kiss even happened.

Phyllis is giving Nick enough rope to either hang himself or save himself. It seems TPTB have had second thoughts about re-uniting SHICK and with the bad acting in the Paris scenes by JM and SC...I can't blame them.....

actually considering SC was making comments to fans months ago about a SHICK reunion, SHICK fans SWEARING up and down that PHICK would be HISTORY BEFORE Paris, SHICK fans SWEARING up and down that Nick and Sharon were running off to Paris TOGETHER and that Phyllis wa going to find out and stalk them in Paris and the biggy, SHICK fans swearing up and down that NO WAY was MS/Phyllis going to be included in the Paris filming....I think it is obvious, that things were changed and for a reason...and I am sure the bad acting and non-chemistry between JM and SC in the Paris scenes will be one more nail in the SHICK reunion coffin...soon to be buried next to Saint Cassie...

and guess what? I am one of hundreds if not thousands of MS/Phyllis fans...I am far from the biggest fan but I have been her fan from her first day on the show and will remain one till the show ends which if the ratings are as bad for Paris as I think...could be coming up in the near future....

I just wanna say thanks to all those Canadians who saw Friday's episode and covered it in Spoiler tags. I really really appreciate it. :D

Now where the hell is Katherine? This mystery is really frightening because the writers have made it clear to the audience that Marge is the one who Nikki and Jill found in the car. How long will it take for them to tell us what the hell happened to K? Jesus.

I too am sick of seeing Eric half naked. The only person I want to see that man make love to is Nikki cause she's old too. No more young hot things in the bed with Mr. Newman, please.

On the whole Phyllis/Nick/Sharon ish. I've always loved Nick and Sharon. I started watching the show when those two came together so they have a special place in my heart. I really hope that, as someone mentioned earlier, they fight their feelings for months before they even kiss again. I also hope that Phyllis does scheme and plot against Sharon but eventually gets back to herself and realizes that the real culprit is Nick and that she has to deal with his betrayal.

Even though their kiss just seemed so right, it really sucks that Nick wouldn't stop himself and consider all of his responsibilities at home. That's so lame. He has a daughter for goodness sakes. How could he just drop her?

I co-sign with everything Mark has said, as usual. She's supposed to be that excited. I think y'all think she's overacting cause you hate the character/actress and I don't cause I like her. Case is a real talent. Much better than Melissa Archer, Bree Williamson, Alicia Meishew, Rebecca Budig, and Amelia Heinle any day. Her acting is really subtle, that's why I like her. I guess everyone has a right to their own opinion but I don't think she's as horrible as people say. And Sharon is a much better person now than when she and Nick were first together. If she cheated with another damn man, I was gonna scream LOL.

It's obvious that Billy will eventually find out that Chloe's baby is his. That's what soaps are built on. I hope that they eventually find the way to each other. It's clearly gonna take time, though, since Billy's fascination with Lily hasn't ebbed yet. I'm sure it will soon, though, because Lily's as captivating as peeling wallpaper. After dating Mac and Amber, how the hell will he be able to stomach such a dull character? God!

I really hope that the DNA test was wrong, Jill isn't K's daughter, Cane also isn't Jill's son, and Mac comes back to complicate Billy and Chloe. Lily and Cane totally could be together. Just not on my screen more than once every two weeks. Thanks!

I LOVED JW and MTS today! You can see the resentment of Nikki by Jill because Kay has been closer to Nikki, almost mother-like, than she's even been to Jill. And I kinda liked how Jill cut Nikki off everytime she made a suggestion, reminding her that Kay is her mother, not Nikki's.

Loved Phyllis trashing the house and then cleaning it up like Susie Homemaker. I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve for that fool of a husband of hers. She didn't call him Ni-clue-less for nothing. LOL

One can be a Phick fan but I don't understand the resentment of Cassie. She existed and Cassie's death was a tragedy. A 15 yr old girl died and Nick and Sharon should mourn her and remember her on occassion. She was no saint, but she was a wonderful daughter and beloved by her mother, father and extended family. I am glad they still mention her.

I do have to give credit where it is due though. Michelle Stafford was very good in her scenes today. I didn't want to feel sympathy for her, but I did. Still, Phyllis coming on to Nick knowing that he was kissing his ex-wife the day before and believing they are having an affair is just so degrading to Phyllis as a character. Whether it is played as her playing games with Nick or being insecure and trying to one up Sharon it is still sad and shows the lack of depth in this relationship. She can't even confront and discuss with her husband what happened and discuss what kind of commitment do they have. Sadly, she is too afraid of the answers and they seem unable to communicate beyond sex. What does that say about their marriage?

    • 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

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
