I am a fan of Ryan, but I am not looking forward to him constantly chewing out David and constantly being in David's face.

It's ironic that Tad who is an obsessive David hater, tells Jake that he thinks Jake needs an intervention because of Jake's obsessive David hate.

I am glad to see Jack again. I don't mind Ryan/Erica as a couple, but I didn't have a problem with any of the stuff that Jack said to Erica about them as a couple.

I loved David's line about Ryan's thought process not being able to handle all that heavy mental lifting. And of course it just went right over his head.

Jesse and his dumb ass needs to resign. He's become a mockery -- attempting to use Jake's statement after he already knew it was false to try to trap David. Um... if David's this skilled yet horrible, sneaky, treacherous, deceitful, sociopath of a liar you all spend so much time being jealous reminding us of, you'd think he wouldn't be able to call your bluff when you just so happen to have an "eyewitness account" from the man in charge of this latest David Hayward witch hunt?

People's homes are being broken into left and right across town. That takes a backseat to a cosmetic company's computer virus, right? :rolleyes:

Speaking of idiots, leading into the world's dumbest couple Jake and Amanda, can we please give them something other to do than have Jake's shifty eyes obsess over David and Amanduh weeping and pleading with Joke to stop going after David? I've been saying this about this stupid ass couple from the get-go. Jake only wanted Amanda to "stick it to" David. If I have to hear this sob story about Jake losing precious time with Trevor because of David one more time, I'm going to ram the nearest person's head into a wall. Jake, you dumb ass, you're the one who screwed yourself out of your precious time with Trevor with your countless harebrained schemes! But, again, it's just more of the same. Martins never take responsibility for their own fucked up lives, and any wrong they do is always good.

Well, it's become gauche. All of the unwieldy lines of dialogue. Jack actually said how would Spike feel to see "her mommy kissing his daddy." Her, meaning Kendall -- which just made me say "Okay, wait. Who's "her" again? Oh, right! Kendall!"

Trying to keep track of all these nouns and pronouns and possessives... ugh!

Today is the first day she is credited. Though we've seen some definite tweeks to the story in the last week or so, I suppose this combination crediting of "Written by Charles Pratt Jr, Lorraine Broderick" marks the beginning of Broderick's storyline shift - and the wrapping up of the throghlines that Pratt started. In particular, I think Jack's reappearance (and what Erica will THANKFULLY do as a result) and the impending nuptials are her doing.

Welcome Back Lorraine Broderick! Was so nice to see her name back in the credits. I wasn't sure if she'd get a HW credit or if she'd just be lumped in with the AHW once Pratt is gone. Overall the episode was very good, but I did have a few minor issues.... many of which have already been commented on.

First off, Jake. Basically everyting R Sinclair said is everything I feel too. He hit the nail right on the head saying he only took up with Amanda to stick it to David. I enjoy these two, when its just them NOT obsessing over David.... it gets old. They all feel David obsesses over them, well they are doing the exact same thing and in even worse ways. I loved it when David announced to them he was getting married :D. David's dialogue was awesome today. From the scenes with Ryan (loved the bit about him and Erica carpooling over to accuse him to be green and save on gas) to the scenes with Jesse.... David is about the only one who see's the light as far as Jesse is concerned. Thank god we have David to balance out the hypocrisy half this show has.

In regards to Erica and Jack, obviously it was contrived in a way to facilitate him getting back here just in time for Greenlee to announce herself to the world, but it was very poignant to see him try to talk some sense into Erica, even if he wasn't being direct about it. He is really the only person left from her history that would be able to do that.... Opal could but she is so far up Ryan's ass its not even funny. I don't think Jerica are in the cards ever again (not that I want them), but I do like them keeping their history alive.

Lorraine Broderick was listed as headwriter along with Pratt in the credits today.

LOVED David calling out Ryan for what a self-righteous douche he is!

And lol at Jessie trying(and failing) to trick David with Jake's fake statement!:lol: I really wish his incompetent, crooked ass would get fired soon.<_<

I have nothing to say about those Martin clowns other than I want a GIF of Tad smacking Jake in the back of the head.

ICAM, honestly, I really wish they'd just write him off permanently, I'm sick of seeing him act like Erica's love sick puppy.

I have no hope for Opal. Erica could take up with Ted Bundy and Opal will squeeee with delight! :rolleyes: Opal should also not be rooting for Tad and Sliza. But when it comes to Erica, Opal's always been used to tell the audience how we should feel about anything regarding Erica. We're supposed to feel sorry for Erica when she deliberately screws up her relationships with men. We're supposed to feel happy for Erica when she dates her grandson's father. Jack, while I have my issues with him and Erica as a couple, I have to admit lets her have it every now and again.

    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
    • Martin and Smitty were designed to avoid the stereotype of gay men sleeping around (which to an extent is true). If you recall Martin had a line about them not being open when Chelsea came to talk to him. The producers are walking a very fine line right now and it might not be popular to say but I can understand it. Establishing enough footing to ward off complaints will let them showcase gay characters more openly later.
    • The week was decent. They have started to rotate their stories and finally got a rhythm going. I disagree about them allowing every character to have a moment to shine though. Nicole really hasn't been given anything to do. I completely agree with all this. I adore Doug and hope he makes it through.

    • There was the one appearance in '96, but otherwise, that's correct as far as I know.
    •   It's working fine now.

        Question for the B&B group: I see @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded multiple seasons from Videoland  (in the folders that are to be put away). They are huge folders and difficult to download so I started breaking them down into months but I realized they are by season so for example, Season 4 spans from March 1990 to March 1991. Now I'm wondering where to actually place them, since we have the Full Episodes section divided by year, not seasons. And most of these seasons we already have in full, so these are duplicates. Not sure if it's necessary to keep the older versions. I could just make another new section for Seasons, so the main folders would be "Behind the Scenes and Interviews," "Clips," "Full Episodes," "Full Seasons," "Music CDs," and "photo archive Marquise" but I'm not sure that really makes sense. Also wondering since we have almost every full episode now if "Clips" can be deleted in its entirety, as it's nearly 300GB.
    • CBS moving Murder, She Wrote from Sunday to Thursday was straight up sabotage. Les Moonves knew exactly what he was doing.
