Now, I'm really intrigued by who murdered Dr. Chappelle! I just don't see Adam going so far as to have his henchmen do it.

David fixing the valve in surgery was a nice twist. How long before he uses that info against the Chandlers?

Opal's going to really freak out now that Annie is actually in the window. I can't wait for Monday!

His acting is very John Callahan-y to me. And that's not good.

Pratt is someone who could care less about acting ability (watch an episode of Models Inc for proof). I truly believe that Randi/Denise Vasi would not have lasted a full year had Pratt not come on board. But she's a pretty face so he will keep her around. Same with Brianne Moncrief's Colby; Pratt actually said that Brianne Moncrief has real untapped talent and that it was one of his primary goals to give her more to do.

Then there's Brittany Allen (Marissa), whose range seems to consist of smiling and laughing.

I'm actually starting to really enjoy Marissa/Brittany Allen. She is definitely likeable and has shown some natural talent (unlike Brianne Moncrief's stiff take). Plus she's been introduced to the majority of the cast already and has great chemistry with everyone so far (I was surprised by the Aiden scene today - that was a nice touch).

Annie looked great! They should have worked those bangs 6 months ago when the bang style was back in...but it still looks great on her. Loved the ending with Opal.

Really enjoing AMC - just caught up on this week's and it was definitely a 'set up' week for all the crazy shiz that's about to go down...but it was fun to watch. Maybe a little too much RyZendall, but oh well - I like how the heart valved story has included a lot of the cast. I just hate how Zach calls the shots with everyone - and everyone just backs down and cowers down to him.

Oh - I loved the Erica/Mona/Opal scene on Thursday. Susan Lucci nailed it - probably her best acted scene in a long time. She even produced a few tears which is amazing for her. ;)

WOW! I totally forgot about Samuel Woods (and Mario Van Peebles)!

Yeah, it's time to update the AMC opening. I'd almost swear I still see Eden Riegel there, even though, I know that can't be.

That's the thing that irritates me about this actress and bleeds into my feelings about the character. That damn smile.

"Your child was alone on the beach! :D "

"My parents died in a car crash, leaving me with no money! :D "

"I'm leaving because I seem to be getting in the way! :D "

"What did you say? I need to have an emergency hysterectomy? :D "

Amazing? Miraculous is more like it. It's a miracle since she probably had her tear ducts sewed shut during that horrid facelift of 2004. Remember? She was in Las Vegas, crying over Eric Kane's coffin -- but her face couldn't move and no tears were produced? I KNOW those things were either sewn up or removed for that latest facelift!

      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
