Hmmm - I don't know what today's episode was, but it sure as hell was not anything related to the anniversary. Sure Hayley and Mateo were there, but it was more of the same tired dribble that's been invading our screens for a while now. Adam and Annie, while I initially saw some potential in their pairing has become stale. It's all about proving what an upstanding citizen she is; while she's out to become the biggest, baddest female in town. :rolleyes:

Ryan and Erica -- they are in the same boat. Erica's running around swapping spit with Ryan and proclaiming what a great Dad he is. Please, in what universe?! And Ryan, do not get me started on that waste of a character. Nothing can be done to salvage his behavior. It's best to let him ride off another cliff -- body to be found and let his spirit be reunited with his beloved Princess Gillian.

Frankie and Madison show much more chemistry than he and Randi. DV, try as she might, just isn't cutting it. Might as well give Cornelius a chance to act opposite someone who catch match him.

Greenlee is merely a shell of her former self. All this panting after Ryan has ruined all the things that made her a rootable, and in other cases, a reviled character. A pairing with David might do her some good. Watching these two conspire to bring down Ryan (assuming it happens, of course) would be a treat to watch.

Frankie and Madison show a lot of promise, I like them together. Randi, I just don't know...Denise Vasi is just so bland, but I still try to like her! I want her to stay on this show, she needs some lessons or something, right now all I look at is her hair ;) ....she's already moved out to LA to be with the show, so hopefully something changes with her soon..

LOL so true.

I just wish that the people they had coming back actually had interaction with the cast. If what I've been reading is right, all they will be doing is lamely introducing clips! But whatever happens...it's going to be great seeing those clips regardless, and witnessing what AMC used to be.

That's really a nice picture of Susan sitting by the pictures of Ms. Heflin, Ms. Herlie, Eden, and Alicia.

And wow, I'm not naming names, but if anyone's short on forehead, I know somebody who could lend you some. :ph34r:

And they have :P (Is that 80s episode on youtube?)

The best of course was AMC's 25th when it was a full week with over 20 returnees, but no one expected anything like that now. I am just glad for what we're getting (well I say that before seeing it)--think of the past few anniversary shows for most soaps and they haven't really done much--OLTL of course tyried to honour the spirit of the show last year which was more ambitious but I woulda been happy just with more clips.

I can't imagine Greenlee and David as a romantic couple. I think David sees Greenlee more as a sister since she was married to his brother. He definitely treats her like family. I loved the pic of Susan with those photos of family especially Mona. I wonder what she would have thought of the Ryan/Erica romance?

    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.

    • A--I wish someone would post a better vid of the entire ball, as it must be out there. And B--nope. Evie is only in a small segment of the ball with Phillip, Rick and Mindy. She doesn't dance at all. Ross dances with Helena and Amanda. I'm not even sure why Evie is at the ball---Vanessa heartily disliked her. I did see that Billy actually asked Henry to introduce him to Vanessa, which I hadn't realized.
