He must be on vacation. I can't believe they wouldn't use him for a funeral episode unless he wasn't available. Although he did have his salary drastically reduced, according to Agnes, so maybe his guarantees for the year have been used up. The Martins' absence was the only negative part of the episode.

The best episode this year. Too bad Adam, Ruth and Joe were not shown, as well as Rae and Skye (I did like the mention however)...BTW, I always like when they mention old characters....like Les Baxter, Jenny, Tara Martin, Kelly Tyler ecc.

My eyes welled up when Bianca started to sing and Erica was shown heart broken. The best of La Lucci.

Myrtle, Eileen you will be missed :(

What a poignant episode...OMG. I was teary at the first flashbacks but held it together until I saw Kelly...after that...waterworks!

I am so glad they waited and didn't try to rush something together...this was so beautifully done. Reminded me what I loved about this show from day 1. I still remember being in my sophomore year of college and rushing back from class to watch the first episode. So many stories and "friends" over the years...but Eileen H was my favorite...somehow she reminded me of my Mom. Feisty but always a "lady".

EH, you are missed. :wub:

Oh yeah, TK's poem was so beautiful & perfect...as was the song Eden sang. Wow.

Okay, on a lighter note, was I the only one who got spooked when that woman put Myrtle's picture on the easel and Erica crossed over to it, and just as she started to lovingly stroke Myrtle's face, Eden's voice belted out "ONCE UPON A TIIIIIIIME...!"

I mean, what with all the posthumous gifts, crystal ball flashbacks and carnie paraphernalia, I honestly thought for a split second it was a touch-activated singing photograph.

I was watching the show , when a friend of mine who has only a passing familiarity with AMC joined me. It wasn't long before I heard giggles, then laughing, then uproarious laughing. These were all during dramatic scenes , by the way. I asked her what's up. She said the woman being lauded seemed fine, but she had never seen such amateur acting in all her life. She singled out Erica and Bianca as the worst. I suddenly realized I had to agree with her. If I saw those two do their phony hug one more time, I was going to scream. The whole episode was an embarrassment.

Wow if this episode was an embarrassment then the rest of the year of all soaps is really bad then. To me this stands up there as one of the best episodes of soap operas this year or many other years.

I don't see Lucci or Riegel any worse actors than I have seen in primetime and they definitely are not the worst actors in daytime.

I guess to each his own and that is what makes the world go around. But personally there are many many many other episodes that I would call an embarrassment but not this one. I would be proud to show this to anyone who hasn't watched soaps.

      RIP Chris Robinson- his Jason Frame was one of AW’s better villains.  Jason’s murder mystery was one of AW’s best- practically the entire cast was a suspect!

    • She might be using Anita like she planned to do before. If so, I suspect Tracy is not in on it. I'm not sure if this was revealed yet - I didn't watch 6/11 yet.

    • I feel like they have already been rested as it is. I've rarely seen a cancer story for a major character treated as casually as it was with Alfie. I would probably write him out and have Kat on her own as they seem to have no ability to write for a serious Alfie or to rein Shane in.
    • I hate to say it: but, at this point, I'd marry off Alfie and Kat, and then rest them off-canvas for a period of time.
    • Oh, I hear what you're saying. People these days will follow anyone whether they have substance or not. 
    • @Liberty City @MichaelGL I could believe the possible spoiler about another landlady as Kat seems likely temporary/placeholder to me.  I don't hate the idea of Kat being in the Vic, especially as the overhyped drag parody that is Elaine (even if they have belatedly tried to humanize her) and dullard George and his dull children do nothing for me. I just wish Kat was in a stronger place. They have shown so little of her in the last few years in stories that should have been stronger than they are, and it's not just because of Jessie's suspensions or injury breaks.
    • Yep, when Kim was bonked over the head during the harrowing tornado, she was in love with that grinning, happy, big-haired Dan who looked as though he belonged on The Brady Bunch.  (Reilly) By the time she finally regained her memory fully and shook herself free of John Dixon (didn't she get pregnant with Andy during all of this?), she was stuck with that sad-eyed, grouchier Dan who'd been Dan several years earlier (Colenback).  The Bolivia trip was probably the switchover.   
    • I'm clinging to the fact that it was Jill in charge when GV last got "treatment" from GH. Praying he has no reason to blame Frank. Love2Hate Drew seems multiple choice: redemption or discovery of his not-Drewness which means they've got Drew tucked somewhere, probably where NotBritt has been kept. I have only one thing to say about JJ. Clearly he has a future in PR or politics. Who knew he could tell a tale so well?
    • That was such a mess in general but barely felt like it was about Monica. Hopefully her funeral will be.
