Jamanda fall out. Pretty good acting, but still not a bit of sympathy from me for either of these dim bulbs.

Ugh! Tad and Kwak.

Every time Zach and Jesse have scenes together, it reminds me all over again how much I detest Jesse for being Zach's lapdog.

Liza, Bailey, Damon... Don't care. :mellow:

Everyone got their wish... Trevor isn't David's. :mad:

David needs to get that piano tuned. Did you hear it when he was plunking out Moonlight Sonata with Trevor on his lap?

But wait, didn't the doctor tell David the other day that his swimmers had issues, so Jake and Amanda are getting all up in arms when she's probably pregnant with Jake's baby anyway? Not that sleeping with David isn't cause for him to be upset...

I thought it was funny when the governess came downstairs after Liza left and was like, "Is everything all right Dr. Hayward? I thought I heard loud voices." Oh, so NOW you come to check on me, way to hide out upstairs while I'm getting stabbed. :P And David sounded so cold when he said, "Bring me my son," get up off your emo ass and go get him yourself if this is such a gut-wrenching emotional moment for you.

I have to give Chip Hayes kudos for writing a mostly good episode (excepting Zach/Jesse and Bailey/Damon whom I ff'd through).

Jake/Amanda was great because he finally put some of the blame on her instead of all of it on David!

I also liked Tad/Krystal, which is odd because I usually don't. Her candy shop idea sounds much better than ConFusion or the Cumstain anyway.

David's piano montage worked well for me as a way to show his anguish. Imo, it's more realistic for the piano to be out of tune.

Yes it would.

:P

My bad, but wasn't it MS during the montage? :unsure: I had no problem with him playing piano or the montage by any means, it just struck me lazy/cheap on AMC's part to have an out of tune piano, that's all, but sure, they could have "justified" that "choice" by saying it mirrors David's mental/emotional state or whatever.

All in all, I enjoyed the episode too, that and TG last week were pretty good, a lot more watchable than I've found the show to be in recent weeks. Can't say for certain if that has something to do with the absence of Ryan, but I wouldn't put that past myself.

Agreed, a good thoughtful episode. I don't like Tad and Krystal together; they suck the life out of each other. However, I do like her old fashioned drugstore idea. It is more in keeping with the type of businesses that I think would be in Pine Valley, more so than a place like conFusion.

    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
