I thought Bill's speech to Katie was fantastic today!!

Was it a Mulcahy script? I missed the credits.

Yes, it was Mulcahey.

I'm still not feeling Diamont on B&B, not that I ever was a fan of his anyway. I find this character too abrasive and unnecessary.

Thanks for the heads up. Now I have a reason to watch today's show.

ETA: Even if Mulcahey's brilliance is wasted on a crap character like Quagmire.

The last few episodes have been great. Bill & Katie are love. :wub: Even today's Brooke/Ridge/Taylor scenes were good!

Enjoying Katie & Bill. :wub:

Good to see Ian Buchanan again... OMG though Ridge suggesting Taylor and Brooke need therapy. Ridge is the one who needs therapy <_<

ICAM but Heather Tom is proving how great Brad & Victoria COULD have been with her in the drivers seat.

The whole Bill & Katie thing is reminscent to Katie & Thorne - and I'm still pissed how that "fizzled".

Even Patrick Mulcahy's heavy-handed dialogue was more pleasing to my ear this time. Less florid...although it reads worse than it sounded to me yesterday.

Bill: Katie, I'll warn you again. I'm not a good person....You benefitted. So did I. Does that make me good?...I had a taste of what that can feel like tonight. I believe that being in charge is the finish line. Get there first, and you win....I love the game, Katie. It's my life....When I say that I want something, I mean that I want it in my name-- money, property, forrester. But I don't want you in that way. I want you under my eyes. I want you in my arms. Maybe you look like a- a doorway to someplace I've never been, to feelings that I've never experienced. I know you're going to hurt me. That's right, it can be done. You see, I'm going to go about this all wrong, and then I'm gonna drive you away. I'm gonna lose you. And don't tell me I won't. And then I'll close up like a fist. And knowing all that, I still find myself thinking... I need you, Katie Logan. And I've never needed anybody.

Am I from Mars or something....Ridge ping-pongs between two women for the last 30? years (at least by Ric's age...) and they're the ones in therapy? And not to question why they still chase after the dingbat, but to "learn to get along"? WTF???

Don't get me wrong, I flove me some Ian Buchanen, but damn.

Basically I agree with you but let's give it a spin: James has a close history with both Brooke and Taylor and got dumped/duped by both of them for Ridge. So he wants to help two woman he cares about to cope with their situation. And Ridge is so dumb, therapy wouldn't help. That's why James is counseling Brooke and Taylor instead of Ridge.

From an acting point of view: Ronn Moss is a therapy session? Lord no, a wise decision to put this on the ladies who actually can act in emotional scenes.

The Bill bit was heavy, but I could imagine DD & HT doing an OK job with it.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
