Nice to know Jack was spotted. He hasn't been on since.... maybe when him and Opal scattered the ashes like in March? Walt Willey I fear will soon be on recurring, or just not around at all.

Stuart :( !

At first I thought Tad's speech was absolutely ridiculous and out of place - and then the flashbacks started during the song and it looked like all the characters were enjoying themselves - then I was weeping. I will say that it was odd to see Marian look like absolute death during Tad's speech while everyone else was cracking up and laughing. Poor woman looked like she wanted to murder Tad and thinking "What the hell Tad"!

Why didn't Adam speak at the funeral???? That was wrong. At least he had his moment alone with Stuart.

I have to admit - the last few times we've seen Stuart - David Canary just hasn't been playing him the same way - its been more like Adam.

Kendall and Ryan can stay in jail forever as far as I'm concerned. Loved watching Annie next to Kendall though - I hope she tortures the hell outta Kendall!

Wow, I cried several times in this episode, starting when Marian forgave Adam because Stuart would have and again during JR's eulogy and Scott's newly created flashback.

I wish there had been more real flashbacks of Stuart's 25 years in Pine Valley! It would have been better than Tad's singalong, even though I think Stuart would have enjoyed that.

It did seem odd that Jack didn't acknowledge Erica today.

It also was odd that Joe wasn't there and no one mentioned his absence.

I liked the mutiple cliffhanger ending with Erica/Liza, Amanda possibly going into labor (how will Liza pull of her plot if Amanda gives birth at PVH?) and Annie offering to help Kendall adjust to jail. I can't wait for tomorrow!

The funeral was better than I expected. I thought Tad's speech was less cringeworthy than I thought it would be and actually liked the moment when he lead everybody into song. The flashbacks were nice although do wish there was more of them.

Did the show even bother to mention Hayley and Skye? Was it expalined why they werent at the funeral or did I miss it? Those 2 loved Stuart and the last time he "died" and no one told her, Skye came back and went ballistic on all of them

I couldnt access the board yesterday but I loved this linke

Kendall (to Liza) : "You are a bitch"

Jesse: "And you are under arrest"

Tad's shtick is annoying as hell, but it is kinda sweet to see the whole cast of characters singing along in remembrance of Stuart. I do have to wonder though....when did people like Amanda, Petey, and Scott take the time to learn the complete lyrics to "High Hopes" lol Most youngsters would have looked around wondering what the heck those old folks were singing.

Jennifer Bassey is just too great for words. You can't even tell that she only pops up every now and then because she BRINGS it whenever she does. A totally underrated gem, and the show is in dire need of an older female character on a regular basis.

Also...I officially love Scott. He's a thousand times better than JR and I hope to God he's not the one who killed Stuart.

For the first 20 minutes of the show, I thought this funeral is going to be so good - I was more or less wishing it would be the entire show but then it basically fizzled. Good moments but it wasn't what I was hoping for or thought it could be. Tad's thing - it was okay, but it went on too long and it was an odd choice to make such a small piece of it flashbacks. There's a problem with the Tad stuff, and I'm not sure it's on purpose - I think they think the funny, bubbly thing is more entertaining that it is. Mayfield has his moments, but this newbie didn't blow his single segment out of the water (DC did work it in the made-up Stuart flashback though) - and he got a whole segment. I thought they should have given that moment to DC's Adam or JB's Marian. I was surprised that neither got to do the speech thing.

Erica is cracking me up. She was thinking of bitch-slapping Jesse at least 3 times during their scenes, and was about to grab Ryan by the hair for a non-enjoyable spanking early on. The whole "Yes. Arrest me!" thing - hilarious. Her ordering Natalia to bring her Ryan right away and Natalia doing it on Wednesday was also so hilarious. Then Erica ready to fist fight with a woman twice her size, lol, that's going to be fun.

I thought Ryan was sweet yesterday, I liked that he listened to what Kendall told him and believed her. Men don't usually listen on the show, they dictate and control with their bigger brains and all.

    • @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 ....

    • 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!
