This story is such an insulting mess on so many levels. It makes me sick. The idiotic blame game is exactly what I've grown to hate about soaps. It's simple minded and lowest common denominator.

Eden and Tamara knocked it out of the park. These actresses, these characters and the audience deserved so much better than this.

Who knows? It really doesnt matter. The point is Reese and Zach are responsible for their own actions. They are two sane people who are capable of making their own choices. Boohoo to Reese who couldnt take the heat of being humiliated so she kisses a married man and boohoo to Zach bc he's feeling so bad bc his lies and secrets are now catching up to him. They made their own bed (no pun intended) and now they have to lie in it.

Eden & Tamara had me glued to the screen today! I was pleasantly surprised at how Reese was able to defend her actions and fight for their love and their family. When Bianca has more distance, I think she'll someday take Reese back.

Of course Erica would take out her anger on Reese; no girl will ever be good enough for her daughter and she hasn't liked Reese since the day they met.

I loved Aiden telling off Ryan again and I thought Cameron did a decent job when Ryan threatened Zach at the end. Maybe he and Alicia are comparing notes on how to act without the histrionics.

Bitch Doctor's antics have me hitting the ff button now. How soon does she leave?

Can't blame Reese for the baby thing. That was Zach and Binx. Reese didn't know Kendull from Adam, and she owed her nothing.

But my problem is with why there is such a hissy over this kiss. Kendull shagged Aidan when, after 2 minutes, she thought Zach was dead. She then lied about it for months. Everyone quickly got over that. Now, Zach just kissed Reese, and the world is coming to and end? Zach begged Kendull for months to focus on the family, but Kendull ignored that because Ryan's happiness was most important to her, and she had to reunite him with Greens. You could tell at times that Zach could not stand his wife, and I can't blame him. Zach may love Kendull, but feelings change, especially when you don't have your spouses undevided attention. Add a comatosed wife to this, and you have a spouse who becomes attracted to someone else.

Not sure I want to watch this sh!t today. Propping is the lowest life form in daytime!

no she didnt but she cant be surprised that Kendall would be upset bc I think most women would in Kendall's situation. She told Bianca that she thought it was better off had Kendall never woken up. Thats an Fed up thing to say about a heart transplant patient who nearly died only to wake up to her world drastically changed. Reese cant play naive and innocent here and make it look like Kendall is the villian here bc she has every right to be upset And I hope it doesnt sound like Im singling Reese out bc I have my issues with Bianca too which I have made known. Dont feel like getting into another rant on her right now, but suffice it to say, I think she gets most of the blame here

But there's a level of humanity that's not being accounted for. Kendall can be mad at the fact that Zach donated sperm to create Gabrielle all she wants. I agree with her. It was a horrible decision. BUT -- why the hell would you agree to going to a wedding of a sister who you felt betrayed you and a woman you don't trust, PROMISE TO SMILE AND STAND BY YOUR SISTER'S SIDE -- only to go ahead go back on your word and launch a hideously rude toast to Reese?

If it was THAT serious, that Kendall needed to go into attack mode, Kendall should've just stayed home like she planned to do in the first place. No! She CHOSE to go under the condition that she will be nice as long as Rinks/Breese go back to Paris... and couldn't even make it through the rehearsal dinner without causing drama.

If Kendall was a woman of her word -- kept silent and kept the peace knowing that she was going to get what she wanted in the end and Zach and Reese kissed ANYWAY? Then, yes. It would be easier for me to see her point of view. But for Kendall to cause a scene, and have Erica pat her on the back after causing the scene -- and then proceed to play the victim -- get the hell out of here!

It's like intentionally lighting the fuse, and having the balls to get mad at the dynamite.

ETA: THIS IS MY 3000th POST!

Kendall has just as much blame in all of this. I know that some won't see that ever but as one other stated she ignored Zach for months. It all goes back to the selfish [!@#$%^&*] that she is. She did just as much as Zach has done and yet she is acting like the wounded little girl.

All the stuff that has happened with Zach and Kendall just plays into why I hate them so much and can't buy them as this big loving couple they are supposed to be. It is just as bad as the way OLTL used to love to play off Todd and Blair as this big loving couple. All they ever did was bring hurt through their love and that is all that Zach and Kendall do now - do to their love someone is always getting hurt or killed.

But yet we are supposed to buy that as some big great love. Yeah right.

The only good thing I can say about them is that they both deserve each other.

Took a break from the episode to catch American Idol....

But from what I saw ---- go 'head Tamara and Eden! Cohen wrote some great dialogue for these actresses to shine in...

Ok - I have a major problem with Zach. This guy tries so hard to help the women around him (at almost NO cost). He tried to save/help/love Maria, Julia, Dixie, Hannah, Kendall, Erica, Bianca, Reese....anyone else? So if this is his how he is...then WHY does he act like their God and treat them like SH!T all the time? From the way he man-handles...the way he talks to them...the way he tells them what to do. His words and actions don't match. Those actions don't equal LOVE.

Anyway - I really hate the way he's been treating and speaking to Erica - not only bc its his mother-in-law - but also bc he just killed her son and shows no remorse...never apologized.

Ok - I'm over talking about Zach.

The Greenlee montage would have been so much better if it showed more than Rylee...but I get why they wouldn't. What sense would it make (unless it were shown during her funeral...but even then) to show clips of old school Greenlee with Scott/Gillian/Leo/Vanessa/Becca/etc? I also almost forgot how crazy weird she looked with that lighter hair that didn't match her darker eyebrows back in 99-00.

Andy, I totally agree with you about Zach. That is why it is so hard for me to buy into the great love that some of his female fans have for him especially when they criticize the writing so much for being mysogynistic. Zach is one of the most mysoginistic male characters on soaps. The women in his life are like second rate citizens for him. He is their God and they are little peons who can't survive without him.

I just want to know what is so attractive about that?

It is totally lost on me.

    • 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.
    • If the MAGAts were easy prey enough to get manipulated into voting for the tangerine-tinted terror, they'll fall for anything.
