Surely this Markko/Langston/Lola storyline would be better suited away from the confines of soap, in an unfettered eight-hour primetime miniseries.

Seriously, I like Langston and Markko but what? What?

Jack is great though.

Strasser has this amazing way of delivering PSA-like scenes without it sounding like a PSA. I loved the scenes where she talked to Langston last year about abortion (when she thought it was Langston, not Starr, who was pregnant), and I loved today's scenes with Langston. She really makes it seem natural, and the actresses are wonderful together.

Not too shabby for a "one-note actress", huh? (I'm talking about Pete Lemay's quote, of course.)

Seriously, the fact that Dorian once was a doctor, something RS has never forgotten about the character, might inform the way RS handles such material.

I keep wondering if Nelson Branco is going to trot that quote out as his latest Lemay scoop.

Strasser knows playing the occasional scene seriously just gives Dorian depth and reminds viewers Dorian truly does love her family. I always like her in doctor mode, like after Blair was stabbed. I'm sorry their attempts to put her back into the hospital never worked out. I'd at least like to see her on the hospital board, like the old days of ATWT when Lucinda would march into Oakdale Memorial and browbeat people by reminding them she'd had a wing built in the hospital, she was on the board, blah blah.

I haven't seen todays episode yet, but sounds like there was lots of Dorian which equals good show to me. Does anyone know how long TPTB plan on keeping Powell around for? The actor seems to have improved since his last stint in Llanview.

    • I've often thought that as well.   I stuck with EON until the bitter end, but my viewing dropped off DRASTICALLY after the Rexford Clinic storyline concluded in 1981.   The show had always "re-grouped" fairly well after a mass exodus of cast members --- but I never felt it never made a full recovery after the loss of Albee, Frances Fisher, Joe Lambie, Tony Craig, and Terry Davis.   Slesar seemed to have a decent storyline in mind for Raven and Jefferson Brown, but once that arc ended (and he was stuck trying to sandwich Larkin Malloy back onto the canvas), the storylines got sillier (Smiley & the Maskers), and there was too much emphasis on the trials & tribulations of Jody Travis and on the Raven & Schuyler characters.  The new writer (Sheldon) took Slesar's weaknesses to an even greater extreme, making the characters unrelatable and often cartoonish. A return of "three musketeers" police-type storytelling would've been more than welcome, in my opinion.     
    • Sometimes it's hard to tell if it is a new episode or a repeat, since all the characters keep repeating everything anyway....

       So hopefully they won’t add tomorrow’s show on CBS/Pplus later this evening. lol 
    • Yes today's would have been what should have aired Friday 
    • A poster on Bluesky has reminded me that this was that awful story where Jen was engaged to Lawrence. Further she thinks that Jack was going for one of the SNL wild & crazy guys. And then she adds how much she misses Vern. And, don't we all?!! For the DAYS virgins among us, Vern was the newspaper editor & also father to Brian & to Tanner, Vern Scofield. Vern was a good friend to Jack, at a time when Jack didn't have many friends.

    • And, Gio is Rocco's half-brother, siblings. 
    • Yes, I would agree that she has some rights to tell Dante because it's their son's brother and it's very unfair Dante never knew.  The whole scenario is odd to me because I don't know why Dante or Olivia were kept in the dark in the first place.  I think Dante would have absolutely accepted Brook Lynn's choice.   I can see Olivia possibly having some issues with it, but she never got the option to react either. 
    • Head trip for EON fans and thanks to @GymnastGuy who's been posting tons of Search episodes on YouTube.  SFT August 22 1985 episode Executive Producer: Erwin Nicholson who produced Edge for nearly two decades; this was his last job (9 months starting March 85 through Nov). Co -Head Writer (with Paul Avila Mayer) Stephanie Braxton who played Winter on Edge Actors: Joe Lambie (Logan) as Lloyd; Lois Kibbee as Grandmere (she stepped in for the Maureen O'Sullivan who had played the part for a few episodes, Lee Godart (Elliot) as Bella; Louise Shaeffer (Serena/Josie) as Stephanie. Other non Edge tidbits: Audrey Peters (Van Love of Life); John Loprieno (Cord OLTL) Of course SFT was filmed at EUE studios where Edge had taped. Most of the technical crew were Edge crew for decades.  Background music same as Edge (Elliot Lawrence productions).

    • Ahh...so in that case it's more of a gray area. But I still think Lulu  has ground to tell Dante as she co-parents with him.
