Was Amber calling Ali - Alison - from ATWT?

Man, Adam is so lucky! Some twist of fate always saves him from being discovered, but this time the twist was a zero sum cause the sucker is gonna be blind. Of course, Hope who had the same condition, had the opportunity to get her eyesight back by surgery - which was many years ago. Victor should have mentioned that. I'll admit, there are many holes in the story and yes, people are being stupid when they shouldn't be, but it still entertains me. Watching this story unfold, showing Victor so weak trying to keep his "new" family together is compelling to watch.

I do wish they'd explain why Abby and Noah are so rarely seen at the ranch when they live there. Also, there doesn't seem to be any compelling need for Noah to emancipate as Sharon and Nick hardly see him, have almost no control over him, don't even live with him. i guess he's trying to lash out but he should be hapy, IMO. He can do Eden all day and night, drive around in a cool car, and everyone around him is too busy with their own stuff that he can do pretty much whatever he wants.

The gay fashion guy at RS - I wonder if he's going to be a part of the Rafe s/l? I don't think they'd be compatible though - if you get my drift, unless Rafe plays pitcher and catcher, cause guy at RS style sure ain't!

ETA - I'm the 420th reply! I love Mary Jane!!! :P

Cashton... I remember very clearly about Hope's blindness and possible surgery. The doctors said that her blindness was caused by a combination of severe cataracts, and retinitis pigmentosa. The doctor could fix the cataracts with surgery, but because of her age, the retinitis pigmentosa would have her left with very little sight, if any. If she had gotten the cataract surgery as a little girl, she would have sight, but lost it again later in life.

Things are really bad when one of the things I enjoyed most about today's show were Abby, Noah and Eden.......

Can Adam accidentally kill Heather during one of his schemes?!?!

I really hope she leaves when Adam eventually gets exposed or something else causes her to leave Genoa City for a LONG time......

Your memory ain't all that wrong. She said that she didn't want to go thrugh with it because it wasn't worth it to her, and it might change who she was. Victor wanted her to...because it was possible for her to have a little bit of sight. So the reason you cited was a big part of her decision, and she talked about that.

CE's last scenes as Adam :( Oh boy, am I going miss him gracing my screen. The silver and not insignificant lining -- I will finally stop feeling guilty about rooting for such a sick fucked up character.

MAB totally thinks the Scoobies are the future of Y&R. Maybe they could adopt Zapato and get Kay to buy them a Mystery Van, then their Metamorphosis into the knock-off a childish cartoon will be complete.

Glad to hear someone else say that since first impressions really do mean something, to me at least.

I actually didn't mind her today until she started bitching out Eden. However, I think they both have improved quite a bit but I'd still like to have seen Darcy Rose Brynes grow up on screen like OLTL's Kirsten Alderson.

Nope, I think it was unfortunately, Tammin Sursok since JC came in what 2005 and Sursok came along in mid 2007 .

:( about CE--what a gem TIIC threw away. Not only a great actor but such great character and future storyline potential utterly ruined. I agree-I had sympathy for Adam too when I knew I shouldn't. Why did they just not go the soap affair route w/ CE & ED...amazing chem...that's soap not this nonsense...what a waste! Instead, we'll go all dark and depressing and make (should be) core character Adam a baby killing pyscho out of the blue..yeah...NOT!!

This is a freaking riot! Thanks for the well needed laugh. But when you really think about it, it's quite sad that MAB is so far removed from her audience she is billing this to quality entertainment.

Adam was sacrificed for ratings...which, since the ratings have been going down, may not have been the best choice.

You could see from a mile away the "ironic" twist of Adam blinding himself. I'm glad that's out of the way.

I agree and I still think they should have went the affair route with Cougar Ashley and Adam... what a way to get back at the ole man with Adam fathering her child aka Victor's grandchild. Maybe I can finally start to hate the character of Adam with CE gone since he played the part so sympathetic. I was actually glad that Victor was blaming himself for causing Adam's blindness albeit was a lie, but you get the point. On the other hand, did Adam really not realize that sticking a needle in his eyes was going to cause irreversible damage? Really?

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
