It is, yes. And while her chemistry with RPG is fabulous, it can't beat what she had with J. Eddie Peck. I think they still have loads of chemistry though, and the writing for them has always been consistent so they could definitely work. I wouldn't mind a Ryan/Greenlee/Jake triangle with Jake getting the girl.

LMAO! It's funny how Jake acted like dehydration was the same thing as hypoglycemia. How did he become a doctor again?

I'm glad you said it because I didn't want to get beat up after railing against them for so long, but I'm finding Ryan & Greenlee tolerable lately. Of course, I still don't want them to be the endgame. Maybe it's because she's fighting him so much and there is a passion in their scenes that is lacking when they play lovey dovey.

I also loved the Erica/David and Scott/Annie scenes today. AMC is back!

I'm at the point where I wouldn't mind Greenlee getting together with Jake, although ITA that she had more chemistry with J. Eddie Peck. Back then, I always wanted her to marry Jake and try to fit in with the Martin wives, Ruth & Dixie. I really want Greenlee to stay with David now, though.

Ryan dead? We wont get that lucky. Yea Chrishelle will most likley be gone by summer. Im prepared for that.

RPG wasnt the Jake that was involved with Greens when they were a couple but they did share several scenes when he took over. They rekindled their friendship and I believe they moved in together. I noticed the chemistry and thought he was a better match than Ryan or Aidan

Random note / semi-rant:

I know this can be a sensitive thing for some people and their hair, but Jamie Luner really needs some length taken off. Liza's hair being so long and fluffy makes her appear as if she's trying to "look younger" than she is. What it ends up doing is making her seem less sophisticanted / more juvenile. That doesn't exactly aid Luner in being embraced as Liza... which is something I actually DO see as possible.

Luner also recently mentioned in an interview how much she loves black clothes, and so Liza ends up wearing black so often (which she did today AGAIN). Jamie, help viewers out here: Liza shouldn't necessarily have uber-long hair, and Liza was never all that addicted to black clothing. Can we be a little flexible with our appearance so that Liza can present herself as a bit more Liza-like (and not necessarily Jamie-like)?

Not meaning this in a superficial sense, because clothing and hair can be reflective of one's personality... and what we're looking at isn't an accurate interpretation of Liza Cobly. Yet this is SO fixable, so why not fix it?

Ooh. I couldn't agree with that. Ryan and Greenlee just have no much "nothing" in terms of chemistry. I just feel like ABC won't give up on "marketing" them. As much as I feel like RPG is becoming less and less able to control his scenery-chewing tendencies (and yes, Ricky, you unfortunately DO neet to show some restraint), I do feel that he and Rebecca Budig do have a naturl vibe between them.

Speaking of toning things down... Cameron Mathison needs to visit an acting AND a voice coach. I almost feel like someone told him to use a "soap opera" voice, because people really just don't talk with heavy-breath exclaimations like he does. (And I spoke too soon whhen I recently gave him credit for stopping the eye-bulging... as he did it several times in the past couple of episodes!) Seriously, I'd rather he study Trevor St. John's style. He would be so much more tolerable if he just calmed-T-F down in his delivery.

I much rather have a boring mother, who would actually take care of me instead of locking me in the bathroom as an infant while boinking my uncle like Little A.'s "real mother"! LOL!

I also thought it was cute when Brittany Allen said MUMMY instead of Mommy to Little A. I know she is Canadian, but maybe she is part British or Australian?

That's certainly true, and no doubt that Walsh's knowledge played in. And actually, Broderick's reputation is that she does take advantage of the talents and incorporates input of the entire writing team she works with. So you make a good point.

But what's also true is that Broderick's style and influence over the overall story's direction and execution is being seen in what is playing on camera. She's leading the team in regrounding the show's focus until K&S arrive, so naturally her name is going to be mentioned. What we're seeing in those scenes - evocations of character history, revealing of vulnerabilities to convey motivation, for example - that actually IS her style.

    • 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.
