Ok, thanks Alvin. I missed a few episodes so I must have missed that little tidbit.

Ashley and Victoria are "win" as DeeDee says now, but what will Viki think once she learns Ashley is being touted by her father for Brad's vacant seat on the board.....

I'm sure Ashley is going to be livid once she finds out Victor bought the controlling share of Jabot from Gloria, just to screw over Jack, and thus her from running the company. Victor must think giving her a seat on the board will soften things, but Ashley is very into Jabot, and it's gonna piss her off severely.

Do you have a sense of what the end game is here? Victor and Nikki I guess eventually as they are always the end game.

Speaking about Don, yes I totally agree. Don always played the supporting role fine.... Latham really misjudged by writing him as a lead.... and yeah Morrowhas no range really.... I've never appreciated his acting....

I give Phyllis sh!t but I appreciated that she told Nick he wasn't going to slink of out the house because he slept with Sharon. She's going to hold him to those vows. I liked that.

I also appreciated the flashbacks of Brad. Don Diamont will be missed. MAB was stupid for getting rid of Brad. Stupid.

I wish Beth Maitland would stay permanently. Traci is the sane one in the Abbott family, and since Latham disgustingly killed off John Abbott, Traci has the sensibility to be the one to ground that family. They can recast Traci's daughter while they're at it, or send her ass off to Europe to study art history or something.

Traci's returns under this regime have felt so organic and like a breath of fresh air, they didn't feel this way before.

Though, I'm kind of glad they arranged a Jewish service for Brad. Not often you get to see one of those on daytime anyway, since "diversity" to TPTB at most soaps is supposed to be mixing Protestant whites and African Americans together, nothing else. <_<

Well from the look on Jack's face at the hospital, I think Nick is covered in Eau du Sharonit's Toilet. Neither one of them seem to have found the time to bath since their love fest.

I couldn't help but figure that maybe Phyllis is going to have a nice Newman style cage built for Nick. Either that or a chastity belt.

Sharon couldn't help but get a smirk on her face when Jack mentioned Phyllis finding out. Yet at the end of the show, it looked like she needed depends. This should be exciting, much better than no one knowing and dragging it out for months.

I was truly surprised to see Neil and Victor interacting. The segregation lately has been appalling.

How are Melody and Jess on vacation? I'm scared both might be heading towards permanent vacation territory since both have been off screen for months on end with only a few scarce appearances every now and then.

Jess had 8 apperances in January, Melody had 9. Jeanne Copper had 14, which was the most for the month, that's not a huge gap. They were also featured pretty heavily towards the end of 2008, so it wasn't like we saw them once a week or never.

This is Melody's first big vacation in a while, she was pretty much on a lot from September to the end of 2008.

    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • 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. 
    • 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?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • 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.

      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.
