Yeah, nothing but Shick/Shack/Phick talk.

I can't imagine there being a lot to talk about when Tuesday's episode especially is a huge bore! Yawn.

Cane you blame the people? It's Lane wedding, no wonder people are trying to come up with other stuff to talk about.

Or should we discuss about where dear Humphrey was?

And the virgin Lily, didn't she catch chlamydia from Kevin? But that was supposed to show us how evil he was, not how stupid she and others are for having reckless unprotected sex with multiple partners.

Hopefully this thread doesn't get so out of control, I'm only on page 19 of last weeks and wondering if it is worth it to keep reading.

I'm surprised he wasn't in the bouquet.

We have four days for a wedding where the one shocking event happened at the end of the first day? I don't consider Devon not being related to those people that I don't even care about as news. Even Della Reese looks bored. Why would she crash Lily's wedding?

What's the phrase of the moment, soapydoc?

BAM!

Sharon and Nick were moving in those cabin scenes, and of course the writers will eventually unite them as "soul mates". But for the next few years, let us see a fun, adult, sexy relationship with Nick and Phyllis...that's all. Move these two into other stories, but take the focus off the relationship proper.

Needless to say, Cat, I have now fallen deeply in love with you! :wub:

No. It would show he's as f*cked up as Sharon...which is why those two deserve a relationship whirl.

Yes. I'm very interested to see if he brings some of his personal backstory into a more layered...and maybe more secure...Phillip.

==

"Episode talk": Watching Phick live...and today's show is EXACTLY why they are so great. Their eyes never unlock (that's the Martha Byrne-John Hensley school of acting, people). Their conversation is so natural...they sound like real people. But in that crowded room, the heat they feel for each other stands out. Utterly compelling....

I'm sorry, I'm am NOT GETTING Phyllis's point of view in this whole mess. Why would a successful woman like Phyllis who has experience on both ends of relationships (as the scheming seductress and as the loving wife) WANT a man like Nick who constantly goes back his "soulmate" for sex and emotional attachment?

Phyllis tolerates Nick's crummy treatment of her. Nick wanders off and cheats on Phyllis, not once, but TWICE (thus far) and she throws a fit for maybe one day, but then she brushes it aside, and takes him back KNOWING fully that he still loves and has feelings for Sharon and will always go back to her for sex.

Phyllis is on the receiving end of an emotionally abusive relationship. Not to mention, Phyllis is the one being portrayed as the idiot in this whole triangle. She tolerates her husband infidelities and sweeps them under a rug REPEATEDLY. When will the point come where Phyllis says, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"?

I'm sorry, I do not want to see this for a woman like Phyllis. She used to be so strong and independent, and outside of the initial Danny situation, the Phyllis that came back in 2000 didn't need a man to define who she was.

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....
