For months Bianca has been paranoid about the budding relationship between Zach and Reese. Over and over again, they tell her she is paranoid, and there is nothing between them. Then, she discovers that Reese used to be engaged with a man. This is telling Bianca that Reese is still confused and still sorting out her identity as a lesbian, which could be concerning, considering that she's about to marry this woman. And the cherry on top of the sundae is that Reese, the confused lesbian, made out with Zach on the EVE of her WEDDING DAY. I don't blame Reese. She's confused, she feels an emotional connection to Zach, she obviously hasn't sorted out her feelings and identity as a homosexual. She's not ready for a life long committment yet. But Bianca is in the wrong for being upset that her BROTHER IN LAW and WIFE TO BE kissed the NIGHT BEFORE THEIR WEDDING!?!?!

Good lord.

I think that Zach has become more arrogant than he's ever been. I think that the only person that's more arrogant and smug than he is on the show is Tad. And right now he is acting worse than Tad. I agree there really isn't any humilty to him. I also don't think that he really any self awareness, or really a sense of right or wrong. He no longer views his bad actions as wrong.

He just isn't happy when someone is upset with the stuff that he does, but he has become unapologetic for everything that he does. I don't think that he really respects Kendall at all, or that he even likes her. I think that he loves her, but I don't think that he likes her very much or else he wouldn't treat her the way that he does.

I am glad that someone brought up that Zach killed Josh. No one in his family has brought up what Zach did. I think that Erica should be a lot more upset about what Zach did, and with the way that he reacted afterwards ordering her and other people to keep Josh alive so that he could get his heart, like it was a piece of prime meat at a marketplace. I think that Zach should be held accountable for what he did to Josh, by Erica, but I don't think that she is going to hold him accountable for it. I think that Kendall might.

I loved it, I loved it, I LOVED IT! I thought I was the only one here enjoying Zach ripping into the bitch and telling her how arrogant, selfish and insecure she is. IA with Zach bc she makes me sick too. She couldnt even come up with a followup to that besides a go to hell and then stormed off. FINALLY she is starting to see the reprecussions of her actions and its all coming back to kick her in the rear. With the exception of how Josh's death was handled, Ive been loving Zach the past few months and this was hands down my favorite moment. Viva La France Binks and dont come back! She looked like a deer caught in headlights bc she couldnt believe that anyone dare disgrace the her name and challenge her sainthood.

Me either. I have just decided it is not worth it anymore.

Some call everyone else on their stinky [!@#$%^&*] and think it doesn't stink and in the same breath take deep long breaths of Zach's stinky [!@#$%^&*] and think it smells so rosy.

Zach is the biggest hyporcite on the show. He is a moron and the biggest male chauvanistic pig in all of ABC daytime. I still don't see how some of the same people who call ABC daytime so mysoginictic and complain about the writing so much can be so in love with Zach Slater who treats women like second class citizens. There is nothing attractive about him at all.

He expects Kendall to be perfect but thinks he can do whatever he wants and everyone should be happy with it.

I've already expressed my frustration/dislike of Zach, I am on Bianca's side here (still think she was on some sh!t when she had the bright idea to get pregnant by her sister's husband), but I really did not like her line about feeling raped all over again. That was icky. Maybe it's just me, but after you've known someone who's been raped for real or had cancer for real, using such words metaphorically just seems so insensitive. It trivializes Bianca's experience. I thought it was a cheap line more suited for a less intelligent/"with it" drama queen like Natalie Buchanan.

Ouch at what Zach said to Bianca(worst thing you could ever say to her is that she is as nasty as Erica).

Jessie is such a bitch when it comes to Ryass. :rolleyes: He lets him get away with anything. If that were me he threw out like that I woulda at least flipped him the bird before leaving.

LOL, there was a time when every actor on GL would stutter and ramble in almost every scene. So effin annoying, and RPG and BE were the worst offenders.

Yes, he did it every freaking day! Frankly, I don't think he really was all that popular. For some reason that I have never understood, the Gus & Harley pairing had a fanatical and in the beginning sizable fanbase but a lot of GL fans hated Gus and came to hate Harley because of him. I for one am thrilled they're gone and am happy for AMC fans that they don't have to see them that often anymore. I don't think the term overrated can even begin to describe RPG and BE.

    • 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.
