I agree. I love him as Frankie and wish that AMC would explore something for him. Nothing against JR Martinez, but Frankie would have done well in "Brot's" storyline. He didn't have to be physically scarred. The emotional scars of him wandering around the woods when he first came back would have been enough. Angie & Jesse could have fell into it too. They even could have tried to test a Jake/Taylor/Frank triangle. Taylor originally came to town to look for him, but she could have been his love as well. Oh well.

I'd love to see Brot/Frankie interacting, it'd be more plausible given Frankie was in the service.

But then again that would make sense..........

Uhm Greenlee you weren't dead or in a coma, where were YOU all those months when Fusion was going down the financial toilet? You sure weren't there

I cant believe Greens had the nerve to blame all of Fusion's financial problems on Erica. Instead of worrying about her company, she was off chasing Ryan

WTF was Erica wearing? That looked like some ugly reject from the 80s. She's much too small for those big shoulder pads. Alexis Colby, she is not

Im loving the JR/Amanda/David triangle. This is the best story on the show

Angie, put your hat back on. LOL...she was sporting Cassandra's hairdo today and if I dint know better, Id have thought they were mother/daughter

Cheap, WTF was Erica wearing? :lol: I hated shoulder pads in the 80's and that feeling won't ever change. I wished erica would've slapped GreenMe today, she had alot of nerve blaming erica for the state of the company when she's never at work. Erica has had alot of crap to deal with for one her daughter has been in the hospital for months fighting for her life, she was stabbed, and her son was killed. If anyone deserves to be yelled at it should be greenme, all she has done is chase after ryan. Greenbitch needs to cut erica some slack, but I do wonder why erica felt the need to hide that fact, I wonder if that has to do with a spoiler about erica/adam teaming up to take over fusion, I felt that was odd that adam was there. Pratt is writing erica all wrong, erica is a smart business woman, she wouldn't tank fusion like that, I hope he has a good reason why he is trashing her rep as a businesswoman.

Agreed, Rebecca must have some ridiculous clause saying she can't get slapped..... Annie didn't slap her, Erica hasn't slapped her.... no one has slapped her since she came back.

Erica should have

So Adam now at odds with Erica? Hmmm I was very glad to see Adam sort of back to dictating storyline today.

IA, I also wanted Erica to smack her. I remember that if it wasnt for Erica stepping in there would be no Fusion as the FDA shut it down following the disastrous Bella scandal and that happened under Greenlee's watch, not Erica. Greenlee rarely takes responsibility for her actions and this is no exception

I also wanted Erica to smack Greenlee. Greens was so out of line trying to blame Erica when she blew off work for months.

I know it's just a soap, but it bothers me that David has so much free time as the Chief of Staff. He shows up way too often at inopportune times. I'm glad Frankie lied about Amanda's date of conception although I'm sure David will figure it out soon enough. I loved how Krystal had the flashback when she heard Amanda was pregnant.

I thought Alicia Minshew was great when Kendall was seething about Reese and Zach. I hate where this story is headed, but if this episode was any indication the acting should be good.

Angie, Jesse, Frankie,Tad and Jake should all be thrown in jail. I had Reese's number from day one. She set her sights on Zach in Paris and used Binks to get to him. I hope Kendall rips Reese into tiny little Pieces really soon.

Erica smacking Greenpea across her face would have been good. Erica hasn't slapped anyone in a while. :D

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • 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!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
