I loved the Marian/Scott scenes. I felt sorry for both of them.

I totally agree that Colby needs to be recast with good actress.

As I've said several times before, I like the actor playing Scott, too. I think his acting keeps improving every day.

As far as Jesse/Liza/Angie's ages, they graduated high school in 1983, two years before I did so they're supposed to be 44. Tad was slightly older since Jenny was their age and he was her older brother. The actors ages don't matter if they can play younger or older and in this case, Luner seems in the right age group to me.

Because Chandler Enterprises was financially backing the new heart valve that was supposed to save Ian's life --- but Adam knew the heat valve might be faulty and might end up killing Ian, but he gambled and didn't say anything --- he knew if the heart valve was a failure, then Chandler Enterprises might go down for good (after the Bella mess and the down economy).

I love Jamie Luner, even if she has nothing to do with the 1983 Liza I remember. I didn't care for the 90's version of Liza at all.

As for the age thing, Erica could pass as Jesse, Angie and Tad's friend from school, but we all know that is not the case.

Women in Pine Valley follow DaytimeFan's advice and that's why they look more stunning as years go by. Erica, Angie and now.. Liza :)

Sorry... but no she doesn't. David warned the Slaters against using the untested valve and the risk involved. Zach didn't want to use it. Kendall Shrewter shrieked and gulped until Zach got on board.

Who would she want to kill if they used an alternative valve?

That's why I'm so over Zendall. They make hasty, rash decisions and then blame other people and want to make them disappear if the results don't turn out the way they'd hoped.

If there's any person who should be dead over this whole valve situation, he's already dead. The doctor who came up with the concept. I love the fact that he and Scott were so against letting David (who discovered the defect in surgery) "get his hands" on the valve that they just rushed into a second best option. A corporation. Hmmm... when dealing with a cardiovascular instrument, who do you turn to for financial backing? A world renowned cardiosurgeon -- or a greedy corporate conglomerate that's sole concern is money?

Plus, Scott getting all sanctimonious is really irritating to me as well. My heart goes out to him over the loss of his amazing father, but he has every reason to be kicking himself. He's the one who brought this nonsense into the fold in the first place.

ETA: By the way, Skin... is that Alexa in your avatar with the dark hair? If so, it only goes to bolster my POV that the girl looks like Mandy Moore.

I haven't really been watching. But I have seen a couple episodes over the past two weeks and for the first time in nearly four years I actually felt that AMC had a sense of professionalism in terms of storylines, dialogue and direction. I am actually finding myself starting to like Kendell again after hating her for the past five years and I have started to like Ryan again too. This show isn't a massive mess like it has been in awhile but it still doesn't feel like AMC. Part of that problem is due to the fact that there are all these new cast members. It kind of feels like an entirely different show.

Yes. That is Alexa in my avatar. The Mandy Moore comment is funny because it seems like Alexa gets comparison to all of the late 90's teen it girls. Some have said she looks like Britney, Jessica and now Mandy.

I've always thought Alexa and Mandy could be sisters. When I first saw Alexa Havins' picture when it was announced she'd be playing the Babe character, I was like: "This chick looks like Mandy Moore." I never sawBritney in Havins, but I've always seen Moore. That avatar with the darker hair makes me say "I KNEW IT!" since Mandy Moore went dark as well.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
