Honestly....if Rick was taking up that many parking spots, any of the employees could've wanted to blow his a** up, lol. And the explosion did look pretty good. Ridge just standing there was great, this is one of the few stories where I can actually stomach his smugness.

I really hope Pam wasn't involved, she'd be locked up for a while. Did anyone notice they showed Donna when Brooke asked who killed Rick...? Seems pretty random.

Think I mentioned before, I really like AJ with longer hair. She NEEDS to hire Owen at JackieM to keep her and Nick apart.

This is true, Rick's flagrant parking warrants murder by a litany of employees. I kinda wonder if Jake Maclain is somehow involved? He is always around when sh*t goes down!

Totally agree about Owen and Jackie M...he definitely needs to head over there...Jack Wagner sucks, anyone who can cut into his airtime is welcome by me with open arms!

Nick Marone is played out. Sigh. I was once a Nick fan back in the day! But that was before WTD and all the musical beds.

I honestly do not think Nick is needed. Owen and Rick and You-Know-Who'll-Be-Coming will be carrying some of the Hunky Shirtless Male load. Heck, if Ronn Moss wanted to take an extended vacation, that would be ok by me, too.

And I'm glad Rick survived! :P Although it feels like just yesterday we had a whodunnit.

LOL my thoughts exactly on the parking job.

Yesterday made me giggle a lot. I don't think it was suppose to make me laugh, but it did. I liked it, but it was a big fat campy mess of laughs.

And what's up with the 3 african americans in the same scenes for like a week? I love that we don't see Marcus or the Keystone Cops for months, and they spend most of last week and this week in scenes together.

That note is too cheesey. And I feel like that's how Pam would write naturally, lol. And the detectives acting like it was stupid that Owen didn't know letters cut from a surfing magazine....I've taken a test online where there's a cut-out letter from popular brands that you see everyday, and it's still hard to figure out where the letter came from.

These "stop seeing Rick" conversations are so tiresome. It's the same thing over and over.

Poor Pam indeed! Alley Mills was very, very good today, as was Susan Flannery.

I still like Marcus and Steffy...Steffy and Rick make me want to hurl...

Rick is SUCH A BASTARD! This storyline is making me love Ron Moss and his smug portrayal of Ridge...he's the only who gets under Rick's skin.

Brooke, Donna and Katie are all morons!

Where is Jackie M!?!

Okay, this is OT, but Roger Newcomb just posted this TMZ excerpt:

This is on the heels of myriad personal upheavals in the past two decades:

- the Spelling lawsuit

- going to India to film that movie and getting "possessed by the devil" (i.e., having an affair)

- becoming born again (which is not per se a sign of upheaval, but it was a reaction to the "devil possession" above)

- filing for divorce from Michael Tylo, re-uniting, and eventually breaking up again

- known problems with her son Mickey, and then his tragic death

- seeking family counseling for psychogenic epilepsy...it seems it was not psychogenic

- public romance and breakup with Lorenzo Lamas

- battle with Kimberlin Brown

- daughter's retinoblastoma

- at least two character deaths for Taylor (meaning stints of unemployment)

- face work (and chest work) that are widely viewed as "botched"

- now this abusive boyfriend...does the subtext of this quote suggest she is reuniting with him?

Am I missing any?

My point with this is this: Is it any wonder that Taylor has lost almost all of her rooting value? The actress, it seems to me, is bringing her personal chaos to the office...and it shows on screen.

I honestly feel Taylor must go. I will miss what she once was (the voice of reason...and gorgeous)...but not what she has become.

    • Here's the place to share some memorable criticism. You don't have to agree with it, of course (that's often where the fun starts). Like I mentioned to @DRW50, Sally Field was a favorite punching bag in the late '80s and early '90s.   Punchline (the 1988 movie where she and Tom Hanks are stand ups): "It's impossible to tell the difference between Miss Field's routines that are supposed to be awful, and the awful ones that are supposed to be funny." -- Vincent Canby, New York Times. "It's not merely that Field is miscast; she's miscast in a role that leaves no other resource available to her except her lovability. And (David) Seltzer's script forces her to peddle it shamelessly." -- Hal Hinson, Washington Post. "As a woman who can't tell a joke, Sally Field is certainly convincing. ... Field has become an unendurable performer ... She seems to be begging the audience not to punch her. Which, of course, is the worst kind of bullying from an actor. ... She's certainly nothing like the great housewife-comedian Roseanne Barr, who is a tough, uninhibited performer. Sally Field's pandering kind of 'heart' couldn't be further from the spirit of comedy." -- David Denby, New York   Steel Magnolias: The leading ladies: Dolly Parton: "She is one of the sunniest and most natural of actresses," Roger Ebert wrote. Imagining that she probably saw Truvy as an against-type role, Hinson concluded it's still well within her wheelhouse. "She's just wearing fewer rhinestones." Sally Field: "Field, as always, is a lead ball in the middle of the movie," according to Denby . M'Lynn giving her kidney to Shelby brought out David's bitchy side. "I can think of a lot more Sally Field organs that could be sacrificed." Shirley MacLaine: "(She) attacks her part with the ferociousness of a pit bull," Hinson wrote. "The performance is so manic that you think she must be taking off-camera slugs of Jolt." (I agree. If there was anyone playing to the cheap seats in this movie, it's Shirley.) Olympia Dukakis: "Excruciating, sitting on her southern accent as if each obvious sarcasm was dazzlingly witty," Denby wrote. Daryl Hannah: "Miss Hannah's performance is difficult to judge," according to Canby, which seems to suggest he took a genuine "if you can't say something nice ..." approach. Julia Roberts: "(She acts) with the kind of mega-intensity the camera cannot always absorb," Canby wrote. That comment is so fascinating in light of the nearly 40 years Julia has spent as a Movie Star. She is big. It's the audience who had to play catch up. And on that drag-ish note ... The movie itself: "You feel as if you have been airlifted onto some horrible planet of female impersonators," Hinson wrote. Canby: "Is one supposed to laugh at these women, or with them? It's difficult to tell." Every review I read acknowledged the less than naturalistic dialogue in ways both complimentary (Ebert loved the way the women talked) and cutting (Harling wrote too much exposition, repeating himself like a teenager telling a story, Denby wrote). Harling wrote with sincerity and passion, Canby acknowledged, but it's still a work of "bitchiness and greeting card truisms." The ending was less likely to inspire feeling good as it was feeling relieved, according to Denby. "(It's) as if a group of overbearing, self-absorbed, but impeccable mediocre people at last exit from the house."
    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
