Last week was one of the worst weeks ever (except for that wackery in January which was atrocious), and this episode was horribly lame. I liked the Tad and LunerLiza scenes. MEK's clearly playing this the way Tad would interact with MW's Liza -- the banter, the repartee. But other than that moment, it was just yuck! What is the problem? Burn out?

Kendall's on my last nerve. I mean, hell! Since we're basically All My Misogyny, why not chain her into the panic room? Pratt's clearly trying to make Zach and Kendall his Sonny and Carly, so why not do a retread? I'm sick of that bitch scurrying out of the room and downstairs. She's incredibly ungrateful! They've got some double in prison doing her time, but yet, she's still risking getting caught over nonsense! I'm also sick, sick, sick of her comparing Zach's panties snatchin' 5 minute bang with Liza to her weeks of banging Ryan in Zach's bed.

This storyline is just so so silly. And of course, I'm a soap viewer, so I know that I have to suspend disbelief. But this story is just plain stupid.

And today Zach actually said to Kendall, "Go to your room." I thought to myself, what kind of fucked up relationship is this?

I've been a fan of this show since I was 5 years old so I have a keen sense of when a couple is popular with the general public. But I don't get this pairing of Kendall and Zach at all. Tell me why this couple is deserving of this much airtime? :blink:

I'm just tired of the "it's all David's fault!" crap. None of these people take responsibility for their own actions. It's David's fault that Amanda and Jake took the coward's way out and not fight David over Trevor so they chose to commit a federal crime instead. It's David's fault that Taylor was such an idiot and brought Trevor out in broad daylight over to Tad's house where everybody on the planet is living which outed the baby's identity. It's David's fault that Opal came up with the most idiotic "plan" ever of dumping a baby alone in an alley. It's David's fault that everyone involved thought this was a brilliant fail-safe plan and all hopped on board all giddy and goofy. It's David's fault that they chose to not only go through with the plan, but the brilliant plan goes awry because Randi steals the baby.

At what point did anybody in this gaggle of brain trusts stop to think that they're making all of these disgusting choices ON THEIR OWN with a baby David doesn't even know exists? They're just going further and further and further with the lie justifying it by imagining all the evil things David's going to do -- rather than standing strong in their self-proclaimed -- yet non-existent -- truth, goodness and light and fighting David. This group of people are a bunch of cowards. They all hate David because of his lies and manipulations -- but they lie and manipulate just as much.

I love (yeah, right) how Ryan acts as if he's created Emma all on his own and has done Annie the favor of being in her life. Last time I checked, Annie was the one protecting Emma, caring for Emma for the first five years of her life before she knew Ryan existed -- and before Ryan knew Emma existed, let alone know Emma was a product of his sperm donation. It was Annie who CHOSE to let Ryan be a part of Emma's life, because technically, she didn't have to do that because he had no rights. He's a horrible father -- a selfish father.

I thought Tad had the best line in weeks regarding Zach: The "there he is" part. What's so "there he is" about Zach? 24-hour brooding? Monosyllabic conversation skills? A lifetime supply of facial hair?

Kendall's been on my last nerve for a while.

Is this couple really popular? I think Zzzendull have a vocal but small fanbase. They remind me of Guiding Light's Danny & Michelle, the couple who won all the magazine polls for that show and got more airtime than anyone else, yet when they were written out the ratings remained steady.

It is getting ridiculous how often they blame David for their increasingly stupid actions! I couldn't believe Amanda would be so dumb to confront David at the hospital about losing her son today.

I'm totally with you about Annie. She was a good mother for Emma's first 5 years and when she started becoming mentally unstable, due in large part to Ryan lying to her about his renewed interest in Greenlee, Ryan suddenly decided she was unfit to see her daughter. Too bad Adam can't have the court order Ryan's mental health tested since he flies off the handle so fast and he did go to the extreme of faking his death to avoid parenthood a few years back.

All anybody has to do to cast doubt on Ryan's ability to make healthy choices is bring up the fact that, yes, he not only faked his own death, but before he did so, he went to underground fight clubs AND was caught on surveillance cameras grabbing Greenlee by the neck and threatening to punch her... and this was BEFORE he got a shot in the head and had amnesia and abandoned Annie and Emma in order to stalk Kendall and Greenlee.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
