Let me add, I thought it was a brilliant way to tie Summer's drawing in with Cassie's flashback of the same thing.

I miss Cassie.

I think Friday is probably going to be extra emotional on that front. Even under Latham's mess, they never forgot about Cassie and the anniversary of her death and they play it up every year around this time, as they should. Four years after her death, she's still driving story and all that's happened was both directly and indirectly because of her passing.

In a few years, NOT NOW,I wouldn't be opposed to her twin coming to town. But it would have to be creative. MAB would have to beg Nancy Curlee to consult, as Curlee pulled Nick off as Lujack's twin and Alexandra's long lost son effortlessly.

I completely agree and that's a story I want to see eventually.

I need you to rationalise it to me where has this twin been so far!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

It was BadZoe's idea, I forgot to credit her. :lol:

Stories like this can be done without being stupid, but again, I stressed she must consult with Curlee.

With her adopted family of course. The ones that bought her from that shady lawyer.

Oh, boy, I am seriously, seriously warming up to this whole idea that there might me a microscopic chance for someone to lure Nancy Curlee to come write for Y&R. It's killing me.

Which wallet, Juls?

I meant lawyer :lol: That was definitely a Freudian slip.

As BadZoe pointed out, twins were often separated when they were put up for adoption. Since Sharon has a history of blackouts, she could've forgotten given birth to twins, so her daughters were given away separately.

I love Chloe. She and Billy are the hottest younger couple on Y&R. Billy is such a dope. He will never be happy with what he has got. He won't be happy Mac either. He will want Chloe and Delia back.

Good that Mac looked younger with her hair in a pony tail today. Now if they can keep that up.

I am glad that we finally got to see Sharon in a therapy session. It would be nice if we get a couple more of these scenes because she has some serious psychological problems. Of course, it was all ruined by her running into Nick after.

MJ is a scary chick, but I feel bad for her. I like that Paul recognizes her and is trying to figure out how he knows her.

All we need is a male version of Mindy that hates Sharon/Nick and finds and romances Cassie's twin sister in New York. :lol:

i've always thought that one underlying reason they killed Cassie was because the actress, cute as she is, wasn't going to be pretty enough to make the jump from cute kid to beautiful teen. That's why I heap praise on OLTL for keeping the girl who plays Starr...

I think the audience would have easily forgiven that because of seeing her story and watching her grow up on screen. IMO, TIIC tend to underestimate the impact that has on people.

Actually, I had the same thought when they got rid of the redheaded kid on GH.

Random Question: How do you lose a cat in a hotel room? What did MJ do with that cat?!

Today's episode was pretty decent. I thought Clem had her best episode yet. I hope this is the beginning of her turning things around. Billy and Chloe are so good together. I hope Y&R finds away to give them an angsty romance down the road. Somehow Jack and Nick both seem clueless as to how serious Sharon's issues are. With any luck they are going to amp up the momentum of MJ's story.

Me 2! The thing I just realized about MJ's story is that it's sort of a "Dark Phoenix" comic-book story on a soap. MJ seems to be quite a good woman, but there's this dark compulsion inside her (her past with Jack) that has become like a demon. This gives me hope that she's going to be redeemed. Have I said lately that I love this character?? LOL!

I'm pretty sure the cat is not real/dead - that's why they never showed us the entire cat.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
