I'm surprised no one mentioned how Agnes Nixon took credit for bringing Angie and Jessie back or how Whoopi just had to mention Thorsten Kaye :rolleyes:

The interviews sucked, but I did like the part at the beginning where Agnes talked about the history of the show and the whole who's stealing some of the actors stuff so they stay in NY mystery.

Anyway nothing. The View hosted the special and therefore is on topic to discussing this special. Just like when Soap Talk did their specials people discussed the two hosts. If you don't want to hear about the hosts then move onto the next post or you can add something to the discussion other than "move on, back to the special."

I just wish we knew whether Agnes had done something to stop the Jesse/Randi story Pratt supposedly wanted.

Overall it was better than I thought it would be. I was afraid we would get 30 minutes of Rylee clips. It was nice to see the respect they had for Susan and Debbi.

Honestly, in the hands of a good writer Jesse/Randi could work. I'd prefer it to Randi/Frankie/Madison or anything Jesse has been given since he's returned or Angie being the token minority doctor. Bill Bell got flack for keeping his black characters somewhat segregated, but he did that with all of his families. All the generations were always interacting and impacting each others lives. Nobody complained when John and his son Jack both shared Jill. In fact it was hugely popular. With a good writer that could be a GREAT frontburner story. I just want these black characters on AMC to have lives and be the focus instead of always supporting other peoples storylines.

I'm sure some people did complain about John and Jack sharing Jill, but I think there's a difference between that story and a story where a couple who had just gotten back together after Jesse pretended to be dead for 20 years end with him bedding his son's wife, the son he basically had to abandon. It didn't help that this was right on the heels of the completely unexplored story of Jesse's "other" wife showing up, and the very flat, chemistry-free Denise Vasi also doesn't help.

I can't see them giving Angie anything better. A black woman in a major story or love relationship on a soap? That doesn't happen anymore. At best she would probably end up becoming obsessed with David.

I think they had a perfectly decent, if not great, story idea with Rebecca/Jesse/Angie. It just got completely dropped, for whatever reason.

Awww, I love me some Agnes Nixon - Loved the beginning where she talked about the history! (Although she looked like she was about to pass out at any moment with those heavy eyelids :( )

Anyway --- I can't stand Barbara Walters - she is an uber-bitch and thinks she hides it by her fakeness....no sister, I got your number.

Can't wait to see the other interviews!

      I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.

      Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol

      Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

      I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

      Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss.

      I wonder whose brilliant (
