Eden Riegel was excellent again. Bianca's grief, anger, and pain is clouding her judgment. Bianca may not be right about cutting Reese off from Gabby. But I don't blame her one bit. Bianca's world has been decimated. She feels like Reese has conned her and lied during this entire romance. As of right now that take is pretty much correct. Bianca is taking the kids and leaving because she is trying to protect herself and her children from anymore pain, confusion, hurt, and heartbreak. After the way this has all went down. I'm on Team Bianca.

I can't believe how stupid Bianca was! She should have known better than to ambush Reese with an annulment and expect her to just give in. It was just one kiss after all and Reese has been a parent to both Miranda and Gabrielle. It's cruel to Miranda as much as Reese for Bianca to sever her ties to the kids, imo.

Unfortunately, Dr. Sinclair turned into a one-note villain as soon as her past with Richie was revealed. I'm so glad she's gone!

I have to say, on paper the thought of Ryan & Kendall consoling Emma over Greenlee's death sounded like a scene that would induce eye rolling (partially because Emma accepted her "new mommy" so quickly while Annie is still alive), but it was actually quite moving thanks to Kate Hall's script and both Alicia & Cameron's toned-down performances. If only Cameron could learn to play angry soon.

Sheesh. With all the hate Reese gets on the show (and on the boards sometimes), you'd think she'd just changed a baby's paternity results... kidnapped another baby and passed him off as her grandchild... gotten pregnant by her lover and tried to pass off that baby as her husband's... oh wait. That wasn't Reese, that was Pillar-of-the-Community Krustal.

Watching RageMonkey ( © reallyhateskateonlost) go off on Zach confirms that Cameron Mathieson's future is in TV presenting. Even though Ryan was sort of entitled, hearing Zach enumerate all the chicks who have died after crossing Ryan's path was hell o' enjoyable.

Annie. :wub: Love that she fought back but too bad BitchDoctor has been written out so quickly. She could have tormented everybody I hate in Pine Valley! I mean, off the top of my head, Ryan and Krystal?

Yeppers! Reese is being very poorly written. Why does Pratt the idiot need to drum up more drama for Zendull and solicit sympathy for Kendull? Zendull is this huge monster eating up AMC, and we need to give them more victims? There was much more to do with Reese, and TB is really killing this material. I didn't appreciate her on GH because that show sucks Grade A Jumbo Eggs, but I now know why she has a such a huge following. She does wonderful work, and this is the best they can do with her? Outside of becoming attracted to a married man, what has she really done? I was hoping Zeese could be explored, but that looks to be dead in the water.

As for RageMonkey, it was so wonderful watching Zach tell him the absolute truth! Was Frons out of town or something when this was written? There's no way he would have approved something like that.

Too bad Sinclair left on such a cartoonish note because McKenzie would have been a good attention to the cast. I so wanted her with Tad. Idiots!

    • 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.
