Thought today's show was really strong. The only weak portion was of course Ryan and Greenlee. They almost seemed like filler today, no real movement there. I did enjoy the fact they discussed Greenlee's life prior to Pine Valley talking about her former housekeeper Camille that would read her stories.

I was waiting to see how Lorraine would start off with the Hubbards and I felt like she did a wonderful job today with them. It was the Jesse and Angie we all know and love. Taking a break from their jobs and actually spending quality time together. Who was taking pictures of them going into their room though? Interesting little twist.

So Damon is clearly this "child" Adam is interested in? Or is it a red herring. Loved it when Adam blew up at Scott, Annie and Colby. And how awesome was that scene where Annie psyched Colby out. I love seeing this edge back in Annie. Its been sorely missed. Love the progression. HATE HATE HATE though how they drew that parallel again between Annie killing Ritchie and Adam killing Stuart.... total contrived BS.

Other than that, great show

I'm worried about this pseudo-storyline with Debbi and Darnell. I wouldn't even classify it as a "B" storyline. It's like the couple is in a holding pattern in the event that the actors decide to bolt. Then they can use the excuse that Angie and Jesse need to get away from Pine Valley to reconnect.

I thought that excuse was reserved for only despicable shrews and organ harvesting casino owners. No? :unsure:

I f-ing love Annie! The end with her telling Colby that she bets she locks her door tonight was brilliant.

Colby (and her BIG TEETH) is a damn amateur.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks.... there is whole repercussions of Frankie's misjudgment today..... but yes I agree, if this is as far as it goes I completely agree, Jonathan.

Welcome Back Real Adam! I've Missed You!!

Adam was on fire.

But that banner reminds me -- Did I miss something, or is David still tied up in Erica's raw space (since they weren't on today)? I mean, if he is... why? The Butthole Brothers got the tape they were looking for. Ryan absconded with Greenlee without interference (and Jack's approval :rolleyes: ). So why is she still keeping him?

I loved Adam/Annie/Colby. I don't think Colby knew what she was subjecting herself to when she started messing with Annie's mind!

I'm not sure, but I doubt Jesse and Angie's problems were resolved this quickly. I think this is going to lead to a major story where they drift apart because she's so honest and he keeps breaking the law.

I'm glad Frankie's getting some story by causing the patient's death. Should be interesting to see where this leads.

At this point, I think the people speculating that Damon will be the son Adam is looking for are right.

Colby/Damon would have sucked anyways. (If this was true)

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.
