The sexual tension between them was already fairly evident even before people found out about the kiss. Bianca had those same concerns already, and Kendall would have quickly picked up on them. Erica told them about her doubts, but she still tried to support Reese up to the time of the makeout session.

The way she behaved towards her parents and ex-fiance when they visited her. The way she shut Bianca down every time Bianca had doubts about their relationship (in very passive-aggressive ways, like making sure Bianca would know she was going to leave town, so Bianca could stop her). Most recently, making sure Adam knew that Kendall had been the one driving the night Greenlee went over a cliff.

She didnt make sure Adam knew. She was drunk and drugged. They made a point of showing her take the drugged drink meant for Krystal at the party. Thats the reason for her loose lips and openness. IA with R. Sinclair in that we havent seen Reese give as good as she gets yet. She is constantly trashed by the characters in town and its about time she stood up for herself more and ripped them all apart. Id love to see start acting like a bitch when they verbally attack bc so far she's been too passive. I think its her guilt thats been holding her back and taking all the crap thrown at her, but she shouldnt have to

I guess you didn't see the parts leading up to the makeout session. You know, the scene where Erica blamed Reese for she and Bianca going back to Paris, and then when Kendall ripped into Reese at their wedding rehearsal dinner and Erica patted her on the back with her smug ass attitude.

She didn't "make sure" Bianca knew she was leaving town so Bianca could stop her. She was packing and decided on her own to stay and fight for Bianca. Bianca went to stop her after Reese had already changed her mind about leaving.

And Cheap's right on the money -- she didn't make sure Adam knew. It helps when we watch the things that actually transpire.

I thought Erica patted her on the back privately. If she'd been as against Reese as she's been against some of her kids' love interests she'd have been the one making the speech. I didn't mean to make it sound like Erica was totally on her side, but I think Erica did try. She was harsh to Reese sometimes, other times she tried to be supportive.

Sorry, I didn't see the drugging part of the episode, just some of the main scene with Adam, that was my mistake, I should have watched it more closely. The writing for her story is so terrible I don't pay enough attention, but that's my fault.

All the scenes with leaving and Bianca felt like game-playing to me. Bianca had to feel guilty for suspicions which turned out to be correct, then Reese stays, both of them knowing she was right and Bianca was wrong. If she had wanted to go she would have just gone. Instead it became some big noble gesture on her part.

I don't think that's a good excuse for Reese doing what she did. Reese could have reacted to that in ways that did no involve infidelity and hurting her fiance.

I wouldn't say Reese gives as good as she gets but I agree that she can be manipulative in a passive-agressive way. Like when she almost said that she wished Kendall had never woken up from the coma and manged to turn things around and make herself into the victim. She has an unattractive tendency to blame others and play the victim.

I agree. I'm surprised Erica has put up Zach's attitude. But maybe its not that surprising as Pratt seems to prefer women without spines.

I definately got the impression she was going to say that. Especially with the way she tried to defend herself after Bianca called her out on it by turning things around on her and avoiding telling her what she was gonna say.

    • 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.

    • And this came out as the "feud" and the media pushing the protests in Los Angeles got all the media attention. They know the press and the public will not care or can be manipulated into approving.
