Wow...they aren't wasting any time are they? It will be interesting to see how they do in their love scenes.

omg. i cant wait.

Tracey bregman gave me chills when she told him to get out.

Yeah I also can not wait for this. This would not work with other people on the show. Victor would just yell at the angel for a hour!

Watching the 1989 episode......

Yay! Nina and Cricket! They looked pretty good.

I have no idea who some of these people are: Nan, Carol, Robert, Clint, Michael (not Baldwin).

ITA. But I've learnt that Heyou, Ian, etc. are only trying to get people riled up and I, for one, am not going to take the bait anymore. It's not worth it.

I'm so sorry if you feel that I'm trying to bait you, because that is not my intention! I just do not like Tammin in the role of Colleen, it's just that simple. Maybe they missed the ball with her, would she have done better as a new character?

Is it odd that Colleen isn't even slinging coffee anymore? Just struck me as odd.

Maybe the rumors of her being dropped to recurring are true after all since she's not unnecessarily stuck into any scenes at all. I'm sure she'll be back for Brad's big storyline since it would be weird for Colleen not to be around for what's to come.

Tomorrow Lauren is on the phone and, I was hoping she was talking to Scotty.

I wish they'd bring him back it'd be nice to see Lauren in an actual storyline that didn't revolve around Michael's crazzzzzy ass family.

Nan was the girl who was going to give her baby to Carol,Jack's disabled secretary,who was married to Skip,Jabot photographer.

Michael Crawford was Jill's granite faced lawyer.lover and confidante.

Clint was Rex's ex cellmate who was behind Katherine's kidnapping and married Gina.

Robert was one of his cronies who got a job at the Chancellor estate.

Some things that bugged me this week.

The Amber dream sequence was a total waste of time.It was corny and pontless.

This nonsense of Amber suspecting Kevin has been going on for weeks.

I would rather have seen scenes of characters preparing for Xmas.Daniel and Amber called be written off at this point and it would make no difference.

Katherine's book in the stores.So,in three weeks,Amber got the book together and it was published.Please! It's not as though this is even going to have any story ramiifcations.

It also messes up the Katherine story.Supposedly this woman is so famous,that her face is on billboards all over town,but no-one at the diner sees ant resemblance.Murphy knew who Victor Newman was(he was reading the paper)but he skipped the page that reportedKatherine's death.

And Katherine ordered Xmas presents for Esther and Jill weeks before?Mind you,she was right about Jill.The character now dresses so dowdily.I know she's gotten older,but the man hungry,sexy Jill has vanished.Now she's just some crabby old dame.

And Nikki visiting Victor twice over those documents so that he could hurl abuse at her.Nikki,stay away,the man is poison.

But Marge existed at the diner for years, so I see why they can look past her Katherine resemblence. In the original Marge story, it was the same way with the people at the diner. Also, Marge happened to look at lot more like Katherine this time around, the hair especially.

I liked today's US episode. It was a slow family oriented-episode. The hair and makeup for Kate Linder has certainly gotten better since she stopped playing a maid. I enjoyed Michael coming down on Gloria, "Merry Freakin' Christmas!"" LOL!

The also worked the V8 plug MUCH BETTER in this episode.

The flashbacks Katherine had to her life as Katherine Chancellor were also well-done. Murphy and Katherine's relationship continues to impress me.

Tonya Lee Williams needs to do something with her weave... It looks horrible.

So I guess they're stretching Christmas into next week. Today's US show was about Christmas Eve. There's a classic episode tomorrow, and Friday's episode is a stand-alone episode for Michael.

I guess they'll be celebrating Christmas on Monday. Which is when Abby will be home. So, I guess, she is technically home for Christmas.

I was thinking the same exact thing today when she popped in even still, it's great to have her back.

Edited December 24, 200817 yr by Heyou

Don't get me wrong, Tonya has aged very well and she is beautiful. But her hair is horrible.

Wait, so there's a real!classic tomorrow? Why am I just hearing about this lol. *hurriedly searches for blank tape space*

Hurry!! Hurry!!

Why does it have to be Michael !

I was wondering the same thing too, but I sure wouldn't want to listen to a mumbling Victor for the whole episode. I'd rather it have been Jack especially since his marriage is in shambles. But, since they are inevitably going for a Sharon/Nick redux, I suppose that's why it's not him.

No wonder they picked the Christmas 1989 episode to air, it is Katherine/Marge heavy. Good choice, as I guess it would expose newer viewers to some of the original storyline and the added value of Christmas fits in with the season. I can't wait to see it tomorrow.

I didn't think that's what you were talking about and neither was I. We obviously agree that something needs to be done to her hair. I don't think the straight hair works out too well for her.

The classic episode is from Friday December 22, 1989. This brings back so many memories. Clint's scheme to have Marge switch places with Katherine, Carole and Skip's adoption of Nan's baby, Cricket warning Nina about David Kimble, original Mamie, new Jack (Peter Bergman had only been on for about two months at this point), new Ashley (Brenda Epperson had been on for a year at this point), little Victoria, baby Nicholas.

Pay attention to the scene with Marge watching TV. She is watching B&B and the old theme music is blaring. I guess Bill Bell forgot about that scene when Sheila crossed over in 1992.
