Thought it was a really good episode, actually. Adam holding this "secret" over Krystal's head, and Erica walking in on them. Not ALOT happened, but it was still fascinating to watch. I really enjoyed Annie and Emma's scnes. Lucy Meriam is really becoming quite the little actress.

I missed too many bits and pieces today, so I'm gonna either have to re-watch on Soap Net or on YouTube. I will say, however, that I'm getting tired of Corrina's sloppy behind "babysitting." Ain't no way in contrived hell that it should've taken her 20 minutes before coming down to see why Emma was taking so long to find a book -- that was sitting on the coffee table!

None!

Was it with the female singer belting her eloquent chorus of "ohhh yeeeeeahhh! woooo oooo! ohhh yeeeeahhhhh! wooo oooo! ohhh yeahhhhhh!" :rolleyes:

ANY of that generic dance/rawk music they have blaring is shiteous. Whenever there's a scene in ConFusion, I can barely hear the dialogue. It makes a mockery of all the characters who routinely discuss business there. Just play some already beautifully-composed background soap music. Save money AND make your show appear better than it is.

Lucci glowed like a 25 year old yesterday. I still love her best with Adam, though. Adam is hands-down the most entertaining and watchable character on AMC. I don't know what he's holding over KWAK, but I'm wondering whether she switched a baby that died (the literal "skeletons" Adam was talking about) with Babe -- who is probably Opal's long-lost daughter or something contrived like that. I was going to say "Dixie" instead of "Opal" before realising how gross that was.

When KWAK arrived at Adam's and was all "You brought me all this way here to JERK..." -- I thought she was going to say "...me off." But no -- "...me AROUND." :lol: I can't believe the Chandlers are running scared of Krustal as a witness. The bitch changed Little A's paternity test and then kidnapped him! How is Ms. Hooked on Valium in any way credible in a courtroom?

Annie + Emma = best scenes of the day. :wub: They have such a lovely mother-daughter chemistry. I love the way Emma covered for Annie. Could we see more of her instead of Kendall please?

That was awesome. LOL Erica is BACK! :D

I loved David and Erica as well. It's was so them. Past, present, and future them. I like them like this. Not friends, but not quite enemies either. It's a great balance. Pratt continues to write them completely in character, which compared to the rest of the way he writes David, is shocking. Susan and Vincent's chemistry is still off the charts as well. I'm not keen on the idea of them interacting in the first place, but Pratt writes them well...so I'll take it. :)

I know, RIGHT?

My daughter and I were joking, "Powned."

Actually, I thought today's episode was amazing and it has actually made me excited for the next and that hasn't happened in a long time! Mostly for Erica's spice and the Krystal mystery.

So now who do we blame the greatness of this episode on a la the Writer and Director Thread? I wanna say Michelle Patrick, but is it Pratt? I feel Patrick brought the verve, but the pacing of the Krystal mystery (which will probably end stupid, but I'm on the edge for now) would be Pratt right? ;):P

Pratt has such pacing issues.

    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
