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.

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
