Tess demanded to know the baby was okay, and Bess said she (Bess) wanted to let Jessica know as well. Hence, Jess goes in the cage to be communicated with.

Although I guess only "we" saw the video wall behind Bess which displayed her baby swap. Tess appeared to be none the wiser.

Ah okay, thanks. I was hoping we wouldn't see Tess again for a while.

From what I hear it's only brief moments from now on. The focus is shifting to Jessica in St. Anne's.

What was the pill that Marty took?

I'm guessing the morning after pill?

Let me just say that I'm loving how the drama of Todd and Marty has seemed to haved flowed over to the hospital. Michael Easton hasn't surprised me though (last time he did that was when he supposedly flashed a smile, this guy is as bad Steve Burton). Despite that, Susan Haskell, Trevor St. John, Kassie DePaiva, and even Brandon (Cole) and Hillary(Nora) have impressed me.

They did a lot with little budget and it looks like something out of German Expressionism. Really well done.

Yeah kudos to the people who designed it. It was definitely "unique".

I think the show has been incredible. The scenes where everyone is finding out what Todd did; magnificent. And I thought HBS was wonderful in those Todd and Marty scenes. She didn't have many lines, but without her there, it wouldn't be the same. The Jessica and Natalie scenes were well done as well. I don't like when Archer goes over the top, but in her heartfelt scenes, she really brings it. I buy the sisterly connection between Jess and NAt.

Loved Blair trying to explain to Star what Todd did and was planning to do. And of course, Diva Strasser was perfection. But I think that of any scene she is in :) Even when she isn't in many scenes, she draws to me to the show.

The only snorefest for me was the Rex and Gigi scenes; just don't find them interesting.

Where she will hopefully run into Brody.

I'm disappointed that Marty didn't get to shoot Todd last week. I hope she gets to follow though the threats she made today at least. I also really need Blair to stay free of Todd.

Good show today. Loved Marty clickin on Todd!

But I really wish this Tess/Jess/Bess stuff would end already.

Bess reminds me of the Weakest Link lady. Anne Robinson or whatever her name is.

She's a freaking cartoon character. Tess has become one too. Make it stop. :(

Oh great, all three of Messie's personalities are on today. Jess, Tess and now Bess. Get ready for some really bad acting

That was actually far better than I expected it would be. And I really liked that set for some reason. The cage and the broken mirror shards that displayed Jared and Natalie's images. I thought it was all really interesting. I also liked Bess and Tess interacting. It was intriguing that these two alters seem to know each other very well. I was really impressed, quite frankly. Far Far superior than anything I could have anticipated.

I loved the scenes with the Twins. I was shocked that I felt that sisterly vibe again. I realize "emmy worthy" performances by definition mean a lot of wailing, and hair pulling and that sort of thing. But I guess that's why I laugh about the emmy awards. That sort of material only comes along on rare occasion so I have greater appreciation for the performers like KDP, HBS, MA, BW who create these characters that are so genuine day after day. That's the challenge to me, since I too am here day after day.

I do think they are doing a great job in showing Jess's alters, but honestly I am so tired of Tess and I want her gone for a LONG time.

I was right there with you, but I find I am enjoying this part of the show. Maybe it's because I am so apathetic about Marty. I also loved the Blair/Dorian scenes, but then I always love KDP and RS.

  • Member

I truly enjoyed the scenes between Blair and Dorian, they were very good, but KDP and RS always play well against each other.

And I have to say with a huge :D , I LOVED Viki getting to slap Tess. Dayum I've been waiting a LONG time for someone to do that to her.

Today was representative of what got me into RC's work in the first place: A series of character duets that were simple, non-flashy "meat and potatoes" character storytelling. It was all very solid. And the baby switch could work if it stays as innovative as it is right now - that is to say, not innovative at all, but rather focusing on Jessica exploring how her own disease works. Tess and Viki's debate about DID was fascinating.

Am i the only one who thinks Jess will be paired up with the crazy Solider dude. I thinking it'll be love in the looneybin!

Agreed except that I find the whole literalness of the "alter locks one up" scenes both ridiculous, bizerre and cheap. Horrible--funny they neve rhad to resort to such sscenes for Vicki's '95 story.

Yep that's the direction they're going. I like his character a lot but don't really see them paired personally

Totally agreed on both accounts.

Definitely two of the highlights today.
