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:

If Amanda is pregnant with David's child now, I'll be happy Trevor isn't his. It'll just go to prove that Jake and Amanda are dumb and dumber.

Tad and Krystal were good today. Loved her dream and this should be fun

Jake and Amanda....fantastic acting from both of their portrayers. Loved it.

David...I have no sympathy for him. Like Maury would say....You are NOT the father!

Today was a trip to the candy store for the fans of wretched couples, wasn't it?

I actually like Tad/Krystal together.

Jamanda scenes ROCKED! Great acting by CS and RPG!

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. 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.

Would it be beyond obnoxious for me to point out that wasn't MoonlightSonata?

I like Pratt's device of having him play the piano actually and I liked the little mini montage they had today.

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.

Agreed on all fronts. For an episode that featured a lot of stories or characters I don't usually care much about (*coff* Krystal) I found it a pretty solid episode--so I guess Chip deserves credit. If they do build her maltshop thing at least it will be a change from always seeing CONFusion

Jake & Amanda have been so ruined. The char's are awful, the couple is bad, the story is just.... dreadful.

However RPG, CS & VI have been a great acting trio.

Yes it would.

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.

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.
