Well Di and Annie were friends long before they both debuted...so it makes sense in that...sense.

But yeah, sucks that Di has to go out this way...although if AMC was never going to bring Kelli back fulltime as Di, then I guess this makes sense? Better a familiar character than some random and/or new character.

Oh, the Hubbards! I loved them today, too. Angie and Krystal's scenes were great. I am really digging this story; Pratt could've made Rebecca a psycho bitch trying to "win" Jesse back, but she's sweet as pie and accepting of his new/old life, which, actually, makes things more complicated.

Worth the price of admission alone. *siiiigh* But another fun show overall for me.

Love Angie and KWAK as friends, think it's hysterical that Krystal's already having sexual fantasies (what she called "nightmares") about Dr. Deelish. Ha. Sorry, Thaddeus (and I am not even rooting for David and Krystal as a couple or anything).

Love Annie, slinking about in a bubble bath and towel while screwing with Ryan's head. LOVE it. And god love Cam, god love him, nice guy and all...but his acting has been in stroke out mode throughout Emma's kidnapping earning his Ryan as RageMonkey stripes again. All the screeching, whisper-shouting and slamming is tedious.

I am flip-floppy about Jake and Taylor as a couple. I am leaning towards each character being better off in other character's orbits, or at least out of potential couple orbit...for now, but am open-minded to them.

Me too. I watched them purposely in the marathon last night to give them another chance, but I'll admit I'm leaning towards Jake/Amanda (I was loving them) and Taylor/Tad or Taylor/somebody else. I'm just not feeling them.

Ryan deserves everything he's getting. LOL

Another great episode!

Krystal thinking she was having a heart attack after dreaming of David was funny to me. I loved how David taunted Tad about having his hands up his wife's blouse, too!

David & Amanda brought the chemistry today.

Poor Angie has been trying to bottle everything up and I can't wait for today to see just how much she lets out at Jesse!

I still like Taylor/Jake and I'm glad her paralysis storyline is ending sooner than later now that she has some feeling back. I thought Frankie was a little harsh with Brot, though, considering all that Brot has been through.

I loved Annie toying with Ryan and it was even better when Aidan burst in at the end and they both just smiled at each other.

I'm with Steve on everything here except I hope this kidnapping story makes SOME sort of sense. Did Annie get Di to kidnap Emma before the tornado or after? Poor Emma, and here I thought Kathy was gonna be the screwed up kid.

Lotsa great moments--especially in the last act with Aiden and Emma and with Jesse walking in on Angie and Krystal chatting (I wish we had heard them talk for a bit longer tho)

    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • 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 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • 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.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • 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.
