I watched this episode with minimal volume at the laundromat today...

Anything worthwhile happen?

Annie realized Richie killed her little gal pal Tori? WTF?!

WHY is Aidan doing all the therapist work here? He's creating an unhealthy dependency and is totally unqualified.

Hey AMC! Aidan = Losses. Cut him.

The noose tightens on Amanda and David remains so freaking unpredictable. Can't decide if that's worthwhile drama or a result of inconsistent writing and vague motivations.

Loved Angie today, as I usually do. Not for any real reason, just Debbi Morgan plays her so consistently!

Taylor is still so out of place on the show and Beth Ehlers' introduction to the cast was so mishandled. I see Brot mixing better with the canvas than Taylor does. Brot and Taylor could leave town tomorrow on a motivational speech tour, and it wouldn't matter a damn to anyone else in town. I don't think that was the original plan for stealing Beth Ehlers from CBS.

I think Beth Ehlers signed on just as B&E were leaving and as Pratt was taking over. The original plan was for her to be Liza (which would have been worse than Luner) and Pratt decided to make her the army girl. I also think Pratt has little to no interest in Beth Ehlers herself. I mean she still will be making money, but sucks to not be working.

Taylor/Tad were funny flirting; it just worries me that she'll be watered down if they do get together.

Bobbie Eakes owned this episode for me. I usually despise Krystal but I actually felt sorry for her in the scene with Angie when she was forced to accept that her childbearing days are over.

MCE was excellent, as usual, but it's a bit contrived than Annie saw Richie kill her best friend and she can most likely use this to help clear herself of the murder charge.

I like Amanda & Jake when they're not forcing the cuteness. Their scenes worked for me today.

I thought the episode was fantastic! Bobbie Eakes and Vincent Irizarry just shine together.... and you can totally se David loves Krystal. I am intrigued by this other "baby" of Krystal's.... I am interested to see where it leads.

Taylor and Tad I actually thought were pretty cute. Beth Ehlers kind of let loose with Taylor around MEK today. Hopefully they develop this more and get Taylor moving around Melrose Valley mingling with the other characters. The ebst part of the episode was NO RYAN, NO KENDALL AND NO ZACH! :D

Oh and no matter how contrived the story is, Melissa Claire Egan and Annie= :wub: I am glad we are getting more than just fluff from that story. She needs to be back front and centre pronto.

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.
    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
