what is Sharon doing up in that cabin and why is she still there? It feels like she's been there forever.. I really hate that they have had her and Brad connected for the past 4 years and they have never been a couple. They've exchanged "I love yous" and had a ONS, but the show did absolutely nothing with them. I really wish they were given a chance to develop into something more

Did we ever find out if Nick fully got his memory back either? For all we know Phyllis could decide to be a hard ass bitch in the divorce and request a paternity test. Everyone would think she was wasting everyone's time until the results come back that Nick isn't the daddy.

Sharon can stay up in that cabin forever.

You and me both, Cheap. I wasn't a fan of Brad during LML but everytime DD and SC had a scene, their chemistry was supercouple-worthy. That's not a phrase I use often.

Even a few months ago, they had this scene at Crimson Lights where they'd been catching up over coffee and Sharon said something like "This has been really nice," and Brad responded with "I've missed this." Then they didn't say anything, but they just looked at each other. The look he gave her was especially resonent. Phyllis came into CL and knew instantly that she had spied something significant.

Man. I really wanted Brad & Sharon!

I think they are setting Ashley up to have another mental break down. She's hanging all her hopes on Victor and creating this family she's always wanted with him. All the while he's loving to her face and plotting behind her back. It should be exciting and give Eileen plenty to play with.

Me too.

I'm usually not for agenda pushing when it comes to couples, but these two were a worthy exception. Too bad it never really happened.

Random comment: I love, love, love the new casting director. Her additions prove to be better and better: Billy Miller and Michael Fairman are fantastic, that dud playing Esther is also great (for some reason he visually reminds me of Paul Rauch :lol: ). Even in minor roles more competent seem to be getting the jobs on Y&R again unlike during Karen Rea's reign...

The way he looks at this Eden girl is just heavenly. I really wish he wasn't doing all of the damn work, though. Although, it is interesting how his costar is playing it so nonchalantly with him; it's somewhat of a new dynamic with the teens. It's either both are strong-willed (which always works well, obviously MAC/Billy), both aren't (Lily/Daniel), or the girl is all googly-eyed crushing on the guy (Colleen/JT). To see Eden so sure-footed is a breath of fresh air.

Her voice is like nails across the chalkboard, unfortunately. And there were moments in Thursdays episode when she kept looking off camera like an infant child looks up at the lights, like she was easily distracted, distracted me. Why the hell did she keep doing that? Oh well. Maybe she'll get better over time. Looking at Kristen Alderson on OLTL this year, it's totally possible for her to get better.

Joshua Morrow.:wub: I don't care what y'all say LOL. :P

I just wanna see where the invitation Victor extended to Billy goes. Sure, he doesn't seem to show loyalty and thinks of himself but I honestly don't see him at Newman. You can see the rotting occur, since Jack is so self-centered and ruthless, it's inevitable that he'll hurt his family. I don't think he'll hurt them so much that Billy would work on the enemy's turf, though.

I had tears in my eyes when Brad told Traci she was the one that got away. Wow. Usually spoilers are annoying as hell but knowing what happens to Brad now, all of these moments he spends with his family has so much more meaning. Rarely do spoilers add anything to the viewers' experience. But when it's character driven, as a lot of Y&R finally is now, the plot is so secondary. Every little thing counts. Amazing.

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      Please register in order to view this content

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
