OMG! This is hilarious to me! Everybody brings it up like it's brand new or they're the only ones who think this! alwaysAMC brought this up several weeks ago comparing her to the Ugly Betty version of Bianca! LMAO! I'm sorry, it's just funny that every single time Tori is on, someone goes "is it me, or does she look like...?" And I start laughing because I'm like NO! IT'S NOT JUST YOU! :lol: In the words of Michael Jackson... "You are not alone..."

Anyway, she is, indeed, Addie Walsh's daughter.

:lol:

One of the factors in my amusement is simply that this poor girl is constantly being described as a lesser version of Eden! It's bitchy and catty to laugh about... but it tickles me!

One of my favorite jokes from a couple weeks ago when this first came up was how Kendall would use Tori to taunt Reese. When Reese got her vision back, she would see Tori as Bianca and be like WTF?!?!

Pratt has screwed up a lot, but the ONE thing he has consistently gotten right since he started is Erica. Maybe the writing has reignited something in Susan Lucci as well, I don't know...but her eyes sparkle now and she look incredible. Erica has finally shed her pod and is the character I have loved all these years.

I also think and I expect to get hassled for this...that taking Erica out of Jack's life was the best thing that could have been done for her. So much of the last 5-6 years has been spent with Erica trying to make Jack love her...the real her, that she lost her spark and fire. She was trying to behave and still be Erica on the side and it never worked.

I wonder too if she feels revitialized having David Canary to work with and Vincent Irizarry back as well. Both men really do bring out the best in her and really force her to keep her acting up and consistent.

Ah, I think I love Erica more now then I have in years. :wub: :wub: :wub:

She has not been this good probably since the summer of 2003.... Erica didn't really stop being Erica until they hooked her back up with Jackson..... which Kylie has always agreed with.... and I always knew Jackson was one of Erica's weaker partners, but never realized just how much the character of Jack and the actor of Walt Willey limited Eric/Susan////

David Canary and Vincent as she said elevate Susan's acting.... and therefore elevate the character of Erica.....

Its quite amazing what has been done. It makes up for some of the crap Pratt has put out there.... at least I can for the most part count on Erica to be raw and real (except when she is kissing Zach's ass)

Maybe along with a paycut, there is a clause in her contractually bounding Susan to play those scenes ;) It just seems to not jive at all with Pratt's version of Erica in any other context.

For the record, Conal O'Brien directed the episode.

I agree that this was the best episode of the week. It helped that nobody was running around ranting how David was going to destroy all their lives and had to be stopped. After Thursday's episode, I was starting to suspect we're heading for a "Who Shot David?" plot for May sweeps.

I loved how David's insecurity over Leora's death made him doubt whether he could save Ian. It made sense and gave his character some much-needed layers. VI was excellent.

I still don't care for Zach/Kendall as a couple but their scenes when Kendall related how she used to envision Ian growing up when he was in the incubator made me cry. Kudos to Alicia Minshew for not going into histrionics!

Didn't we all know Tori wasn't real? I was pleasantly surprised that she turned out to be the missing girl. It looks like Richie convinced Annie and possibly their parents that his sister did it, which would explain why her parents never treated her the same as they did their son.

I'm still not seeing any chemistry between Erica & Adam but I am glad he's finally back. I can't wait to see where his health condition storyline is headed. I don't think it's going to turn out that Erica looks like Lottie, just that Adam's confused.

Really good scenes. Friday's episode made me a little angry though. I almost rather they show crap daily, good episodes make me hungrier for...well, good episodes, lol.

I'm going to get deep here and I don't know why I'm bothering since MEK recently said on a raido show that Pratt is writing inconsistently (confusingly) on purpose - it's one thing that moment, another thing thing that moment, then something else to "keep everybody guessing." He's throwing 10 angles out of the bag witht he R/K/Z story particularly, and not sticking to any, it's just something different every half a episode. I wouldn't get doing that by accident, so I dont even pretend getting him doing it on purpose. Rant done.

Erica and Ryan, well Ryan on Friday is what I wanted to discuss. I loved that I felt that they were writing him like a villain on purpose on Friday, this is so much better than trying too hard to write him like an awesome guy and it always failing. Everything out of his mouth was about fighting Zach. It's like he really couldn't feel any real depth for the situation at hand. It's like he is still blinded by rage, but in a overall more subtle way than he has been in the past. Earlier in the day he needed and wanted Kendall, now he loves her when he feels he's in danger of Zach taking one more of the things he's won away. They should continue with this line of thought for him, it's intriguing. Cameron long ago said he wanted an Edmind/Dimitri thing with Zach (I felt he knew what his future story was at that time), and this almost has that feel if they remain in this line of thought. When Edmund first came on he was a little single minded in his anger. It would be a good twist if

is working for Ryan. I think I like the idea of Ryan becoming really bad to somehow become good again. I'm thinking deeper than Pratt will probably write here. That's what bugs me the most about Pratt, I think he shows moments of such potential while he's throwing things out of the bag but with his attention issues he doesn't really invest in the bingo moments.

I think they have amazing chemistry but a large part of me thinks that sex (or a romantic entanglement) may ruin the chemistry they have. This one brings me a lot of conflict because I really think they just absolutely crackle together.

I do have this in the back of my mind too.... it will be interesting just to see how this dynamic unfolds....Adam and Erica's relationship however is the best thing to happen to AMC in several years. It was a gold mine just waiting to be unearthed after all of these years.

    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.
