Only AMC fans will care that they decided to put in a brief, brief 3-4 second snatch of music in the show. I'm pretty sure they used the "dun dun dun" from the last opening (with the pretty gold backgrounds) because it didn't sound like the current arrangement of the theme. I'm so glad they used it...it totally intensified the Erica/Ryan almost-kiss a little bit.

Of course, they'll get early good buzz on Ryan/Erica, so they'll play them five days a week and beat them into the ground. Then they'll sanctify them and place them on a "they've been soulmates all their lives" pedestal. And in six months, all the fans will hate them, both for the ignorance of the writers when it comes to their past marriages, and for the way they've completely taken over the show... except for a select few in a very vocal fanbase.

It seems to be the ABC pattern.

LOVED the 'dun dun dun'! They did it a week or so ago with Zach, but today's was much longer and more fanstastic than I could have dreamed! I also thought we'd for sure get a new opening, but no :(

Just started, so will give more thoughts later. But yes, I'm LOVING Erica Kane right now. How fierce!

MEN ARE SUCH IDIOTS!

Sorry... I was watching this episode in the middle of a text-fight with a soon to be ex-love interest and I am royally pissed! I just got finished watching the totally contrived ending. Erica Kane's gone all Bobbie Spencer which is making me infuriated. I'm hating the fact that Scott Chandler is annoying as hell... Jay Leno chin and all.

Randi's hair was horrible! WTF was up with that random swoop of bangs? It made her look like a midwestern newscaster.

My same sentiments R, hang in there.

More campy, fun Erica :lol: Ryan and Erica were awesome today. I could see myself liking this, as long as it doesn't develop into some romance or anything. Cameron and Susan obviously LOVE working together.

OMG, my stomach hurts from laughing at Erica. Why hasn't ABC signed Susan Lucci to a sitcom deal? Seriously, I remember when Susan Flannery and La Lucci guest starred on Hope & Faith, Susan Flannery posed the same question because she saw that La Lucci possessed great comedic talent.

I am just getting through the episode now, but I loved how Erica was listing off her men wondering if she missed on her true love. I was a bit surprised David wasn't mentioned....but I also perhaps think.... no more like hope that Adam will be that love..... REALLY HOPE

    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. They're connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters.
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character
