This episode is a winner if only for Kendall breaking down in front of Bianca at the end of the episode. I really wanted Alicia to get nominated for those scenes

Maggie! ...or more importantly Elizabeth Hendrickson!

I absolutely LOVED Jack's set...and I think this was Josh's set in 2006ish. Now I think it's the Hubbard's set, but it's been refurnished and isn't as awesome.

I was hoping Vanessa was going to be in the 2002 episode! And she was! I loved me some Nessa! And Leo! Duhamel was a better actor on AMC (and he looked better too, even with the chipped tooth).

Mia was better in the first episode than she is in the second. I liked her better during her first year on the show...she was still sorta mysterious and dark and not the shrill Fusion girl she later became. And plus, I'm one of the few who liked J. Eddie Peck as Jake. Him being toweled through the whole thing doesn't hurt.

Early Kendall/Ryan was some good stuff, really. Both characters were still likable...they were still fresh and didn't have years worth of frustrating history to stand in the way. And oh look, Kendal's Pine Cone room was also Aidan's Pine Cone room when he showed up for the first time several months later.

So glad that only one of these episodes is Zendall-fied. It reminds me that once upon a time, I actually cared about ol' bitchass.

For the first episode, SOAPnet must have taken out the "Previously on..." right? I'm positive that they didn't ditch those until sometime in 2003.

I loved that set too........except for that damn green lamp shade thing. Whenever I see that set in my mind, it's the FIRST thing that jumps out at me. The place that Bianca and Maggie are at...that's the apartment that Greenlee had lived in for a while too, right? I forget if Greens lived there before or after Binks.

Dax Griffin was delicious eye candy in these episodes. I loved Justin's ambitious douchery. He just wanted to kick someone's ass.

Oh my, I loved that Valley Inn room. With all the red, and the striped furniture. It's probably tacky, but I don't care. I fricken miss that room.

I loved Mia when she first joined. I really enjoyed her with Ryan and didnt like that that was cut so short. I also liked J Eddie Peck as Jake, much better than RPG now.

This episode was back when I loved Aidan. He was my favorite male character back then and I hate whats been done with him since. They never should have ended him and Kendall for Ryan

They most likely did take out the Recap. They dont include the Previews as well for obvious reasons

The dialogue back then seems better. Quite a few funny lines

Greens on Kendall's weight. "The girl's a toothpick. If she turns sideways, she'd disappear"

The "I Am This Baby" speech is coming up

Oh how I loved me some Vanessa too. One of my all-time favorite characters.

Yeah, the green lamp shade was fug --- but the kitchen with those dark appliances, cabinetry, and granite countertops....and the red brick...LOVES IT. And yeah, the Maggie/Binks set used to be and now is again Greenlee's set. If I'm not mistaken, I think that set was first introduced when Dimitri/Gloria were living together post-Dimitri/Erica.

As far as the SMG vs AM debate, I'm pro-SMG. Kendall was far more interesting when she was played by SMG. I miss kendall pre-Zendall, the one that had spunk and wouldn't let a man dominate her relationship.

What a horrible disastrous couple. I hated those two together. Preferred her with Tad and was seriously hating Dimitri during this time. He didnt work as a villian for me

I like RPG, but yeah, Peck was better. RPG gets a little obnoxious sometimes.

Binks's hair at this time was definitely not my favorite style for her. That short 'do, coupled with her perpetual sorrow did not make for an attractive Binks. I was wrong about Binks and Maggie's place...IIRC, the Binks/Greens place was situated on the right side of whatever hallway it was in and was similar to Jack's place, which had been Trey's.

And gosh, they just did a promo for "The View" episodes on ABC.com and I honestly thought that SN was picking up The View.

ITA. I hated dimitri with gloria, and the villian thing totally came out of no where, but I liked dimitri so I let it slide.

It was definitely not one of my favorite couples, although villian Dimitri worked for me. Remember the Crystal Ball when he shot Edmund and Tad/Edmund tricked him into thinking he killed his own brother? That was fun...and wasn't there an aquaduct flood back in the day that got MEK nominated when he tried to save Dimitri/Edmund? Ahh, good times.

I preferred Gloria the most when she was first introduced in the Dixie/Craig storyline...and then when she was paired with Adam.

"Did you just say boink?"

Greenlee was incredibly annoying here. I hated the Fusion women obsessed with hating Kendall and constantly attacking her. Simone at least had a heart and tried to stick up for her

Watching this episode makes me hate Bianca even more now. There she is lying about being pregnant again and Kendall stepping up and putting her life on the line in order to protect Bianca's secret and her unborn child. Look how she repays her years later with her recent betrayal

This marathon really, really makes me miss the traditional soap look. How anyone can say the FilmLook version of the show looks better is beyond me.

I honestly cant even tell the difference

Bianca "You are not going to get anywhere near my child. You are not going to have my child. In fact she's not even going to know who you are"

Haha and thanks to Babe, neither will you!

I really can't even tell a difference either. When the FilmLook first debuted during the ConFusion grand opening back in 2006, I could totally tell. But I seriously thought they went back to the normal soap look, bc now it's so much different...looks like it did back in these days.
