LML and Griffith's attempts to make the show look like an ABC soap (as you rightly point you: hideous!) is such a paradox. The ABC soaps, if they had the money, would choose to look like Y&R in a heartbeat...I just don't understand what LML's mandate could have been: regress the show? Make it look like sh*t? Drive away viewers? That hack bitch will NEVER make sense to me.

But, when Heather was out of eyeshot, Adam's face dissolved into a total look of remorse and pain. Did you see that? It was a quick flash! And it immediately rescued the character from irredeemability.

As for your comment

, OMG OMG OMG you have solved it!!!!

I had seen this element, and I wondered why

. But your comment explains it. Of course they'd do

. Jeanne Cooper is finally

They are

I feel it in my bones. You're right! Brilliant speculation!

Now, the other thing I "want" (but can't have) is the reversal of John's death.

Since that can't happen, I'd be satisfied with one of the following two possibilities:

- integrate John's ghost more, as was done a few weeks ago, and have him be the conscience to all the Abbott offspring...and maybe Jill, Gloria, etc. too. Not ALWAYS. Not OFTEN...but sometimes

- figure out a way to bring Alistair down to earth. Bring him to town again and have someone explain WHY he looks so much like John; reveal that he is the brother John disowned. Have Alistair get sober, but not lose the twinkle in his eye. The Abbotts keep him around because he is a tie to John, and he gradually becomes a reasonable, if not so serious, older talk-to

I'd love either of these. But if they could "reverse" that final mistake, I'd be in bliss.

LOVE the Skin Cream Killer finally getting whats coming to her

Why did Adam turn on Victor? Wasnt he treated as Victor's favorite when he came to town.

How was a diary ever used as evidence for murder? That seems like such a weak link and anyone could write anythign and plant it. I cant beleive the DAs are basing their entire case on that

Jill and Ashley look amazing. Loving their hair and they havent looked this good in years

When Victor was presumed dead, Adam took over Newman, fired Neil and Victoria, added Brad to the company and totally started to change the company around. Victor gladly fired Adam when he returned and prevented Adam from getting a job at any other better firm. That's why Adam has been working on getting revenge and framing his father.

Well it was proved that it's Victor's handwriting, even though it was not. I guess that was enough for them.

I loved the line from Ashley to Gloria. Ol' Gloho didn't know where that came from. Serves the bitch right to get blasted from all sides!

ETA: You could see the pisstivity (yeah I did say pisstivity) in Phyllis' eyes when she found out Nick was outside with Sharon. And homegirl looked slightly crazy when she came outside. Glad Phyllis is getting back to her roots without being a psycho.

Michelle Stafford totally brought it (for me) back when she confronted Jack and started yelling "Keep a LEASH on your WIFE! I want her OUT of my MARRIAGE!" It's like Phyllis almost lost it. Since then she's been barely keeping it together, and it really reminds me of Phyllis when she first appeared on Y&R. On one hand, she is teetering on the edge -- but at the same time, her anger and jealousy are relatable and human.

    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.

    • That is a specific example where I would agree with those fans so I would be critical of the execs doing so. I frankly think that "caring" in this regard is not conducive to dialog. Basically you point out its very subjective nature. What is caring to one person might be callous disregard to another. I suggest it is a trap & we fell in it!
    • Does anyone know of a place where I could watch older episodes of RC??? I really would love to watch more of this show, and I would decide if I would join the save River city campaign, I HATE when soaps are killed, but sometimes you should let them go too
