I would tune into GL or any show to see DAM and to hear him read the phone book - DAM could make Smith sound intersting and I can imagine what Edmund would do with it - yes more DAM please no matter what - however Eddie will always have my heart.

I'm not reading what people say in this thread because going by prior evidence, it's probably relentlessly negative and I don't want to get agitated. I don't have the energy for it. There are more mixed, or positive, boards elsewhere.

But I just want to go on record that I continue to like the show -- all the stories, all the characters. I no longer think Marina killed Edmund, but I still think this may have been the original plan before they changed it becase the show was ending. I like Cyrus figuring out Remy's secret, and Remy attempting to cover it with the card game. I like Reva raging at the world. I like Josh helping Jeffrey with the setup and the escape. I am looking forward to Ed Bauer.

I continue to like EJ Bonilla's acting especially. The scene a little over a week ago when Rafe stumbled across Daisy taking the trash out, was awesome, really natural. The saying "No" and "I don't know" in a lot of different ways (responding to whether he was going to help Frank move, whether he was going to the mall, whether he was okay) was cool. Later in the scene, Rafe saying people don't change their minds all of a sudden, and Daisy saying she does all the time and Rafe's "YOU do", then Daisy's women are complicated, then Rafe's "I need a hug" -- it was all so good. Rafe and Daisy have a TON of friend chemistry. They had a lot of couple chemistry too.

I also find it interesting watching Rafe being mad at his mom but not wanting to be, kind of like Parker and Carly on ATWT. I'm glad he showed up at the house briefly for his birthday last Friday.

I wanted to see an Emma-Rafe scene though .... I am upset that the show did not have Rafe come back again later, and that he wasn't on at all today. They are really making him less sympathetic than they should be in this story. I think he would be trying to find out more from his mom about why she loves Olivia, not continuing to avoid the subject as he is doing. He better be on again this week! Get him out of the sanctimonious, judgmental Frank orbit, ugh. If he has to be expressing doubts with someone rather than supportive (in my mind, he would have been more supportive after finding out), do it with Father Ray. That Father Ray scene last Friday was decent. I did like how he cooked for Frank, that's about all I like of him and Frank.

Thanks for your analysis, jfung79. You say a lot of stuff that helps me with more insights into the show, insights I usually don't get from the scenes.

I'm glad we're seeing more of Blake, even if it's just as handholder to various characters.

Kim Zimmer was horrible today. I've never minded her OTTness because most of the time I think she keeps in character, but today was off the charts. I don't know how Liz Keifer avoided fleeing in horror.

I have to agree about KZ. I guess she was going for frazzled but it was just way too much, especially with Blake. The biggest problem with this whole thing is that she's standing there shreiking"I want my husband back!" and all I can do is roll my eyes and say "Why?". It doesn't help that his little plan is ridiculous, isn't necessary to getting Reva off the hook or proving that Edmund might be alive, and involves the desecration of the grave of a young girl blown to bits by a landmine. If Shayne doesn't dump Dinah after finding out about that, he's a scum too and has no right to be any part of Lara's baby's life.

The part that really made me sick was how they had Blake spewing the company line about the town serial rapist, going on and on about what a magnificent husband and father he is, just like they had his rape victim Olivia do last week. Ugh, so they FINALLY decide to kill off the worst character in the history of...well...um...the worst character in the history of just plain anything and rather than admit to what a scum he is and has always been and give all the viewers who have suffered through him for six long years some real satisfaction for their trouble, they're gonna try to sell us that he's some tragic hero so that any Jeva reunion that might occur at the end of the show will be nothing but a middle finger to the fans?! Yeah, great idea guys! :rolleyes: The pimping of this character is insane.

While I get the symbolism of Reva putting the old lamp in the window, it just sucks that they're wasting it on Reva and Jeffrey, especially since we're in the final stretch here, and her pathetic whining over this ass makes her look like a complete moron.

I was thrilled to see Blake and she handled PsychoReva and Natalia perfectly. I want Blake and Holly scenes and I want them right now!!! Where does this show find so many people who get more gorgeous as they age anyway? Keifer, McKinney, Newman, Chappell, Sloane, Chamberlin, Tesrau, Wright, Kinkaid, Garrett, Aleksander, etc.

When Dinah was standing over Lara's grave talking to her about hoping that if she were there, she'd be okay with what she and Jeffrey are doing, all I could think was that I wished Lara would reach her hand up through the dirt and choke them both. The chick who screwed the father of her child in front of her grave a few weeks ago is now desecrating her grave in order to probably kill her father? Yeah, I'm sure Lara would be just peachy with that Dinah. :rolleyes:

I was glad that Rafe didn't go back to the house, it wouldn't be realistic. He has too many anger issues to get over this quickly. You also have to remember that he was probably raised by Natalia to follow the Catholic church's party line on homosexuality so this has to be a huge shock for him. Not only the same-sex part but the realization that his mother is a sexual being. It was easy for him to ignore when his mother was pining for and then marrying his own father but this is a whole different ballgame.

I really hope that Natalia isn't pregnant. Not only would it be stupid, cliched, and a slap in the face to the Otalia fans but the poor thing would be doomed. It has IdiotFrank as a father and Nat's been knocking back the booze for weeks now. What few brain cells it started out with would be gone by now.

I'm throwing in a gratuitous pic of baby Henry just because he's so freaking cute.

I can't believe that Ed & Phillip weren't in the preview though, they're on tomorrow.

You're right about the good looks while aging, and most of them seem to have had little to no plastic surgery.

I've just about given up on seeing Holly again.

Since Shayne likes feisty women (even Marina was relatively feisty back then), you'd think the Lara he sees wouldn't be so drippy. I hope they're not going to let Marina and Mallet keep the baby.

Ed! EEEEE!

Only like 2 seconds of him, but tomorrow should be better in that department.

Otherwise, this was actually a superlative show. Lots of characters on today and the ones who were on didn't suck. I can tolerate how much we got of Jeffrey today, knowing what is about to happen, lol. Even the Wonder Twins (Mallet and Marina) were tolerable today.

The wedding planning scenes were fabulous. Vanessa! Lillian! Billy! Alex! And them swarming over Lizzie and Bill like sharks trying to take over the wedding planning was perfect. But the best part was that 2-second (I WISH we could get much, much more of them) Billy and Vanessa scene. I HOPE that was foreshadowing. I actually think I'd like a reunion for them moreso than a Jeva reunion. At least, they are well on their way.

I'm starting to think that a grandiose reunion for Jeva isn't necessary for the finale. I loved Sam and Tony's ER reunion. Holding hands and a loving glance. An embrace Maybe a kiss. It's simple, subdued, but no less poignant than some fancy-schmancy event.

If only they had the ability to crank out episodes like this more consistently. They can do wonders when they focus on the right characters (Hint: Not Remy, Christina, Ashlee, Daisy, Rafe, Cyrus, Jeffrey, and a few others I am probably forgetting...).

jeff is a lying hypocrtie - you - know - what - he tells Josh to stay away from his wife - however when Edmund told jeff to stay away from his wife - jeff could have cared less if Cassie was married and jumped into bed with her and when Cassie was married to Richard - jeff pretended to be her husband and slept with her - which is fraud and rape and of course that has been excused and glossed over like everything he does to make jeffie a saint and drove viewers away and into the basement - too bad GL didn't get the mistake of forcing jeff on us - ruining characters like Edmund and ruining any good couple for jeff - before maybe it's too late to save our GL - however I want Edmund to live - because DAM is the best and GL should have used him more and better - Let Eddie Live!!!!!!

We finally saw Ed today. They saved him for the last 10 seconds, of course, but he was still a sight for sore eyes. Phillip showed up at his office looking for Dr. Bauer. Ed walks in. The nurse tries to announce Phillip but Ed tells her that he know who he is. He has asks Phillip what on Earth brings him out there.

    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.
