Forgive me once again for being an incurable nostalgia freak, but I sure do miss these days when characters on AMC would go to the Chateau, the Goalpost, or even McKay's whenever they wanted to dine out. Who the hell eats out at a nightclub? For breakfast?

I miss those first few milliseconds of a scene at the Valley Inn or the Chateau where you'd hear light jazz piano and the soft mumble of extras. It was like riding the escalator at Nordstrom. Now all of that bright white light and *OONCE'n-POW!-OONCE'n-POP!-OONCE'n-POW!-OONCE'n-POP!*

ETA: Which of these restaurants still exist even, I mean, was McKay's revamped as another restaurant?

Here's a possible scenario: after Greenlee takes Fusion back from Erica once and for all, Erica decides she needs new business ventures to pursue. Nick Davis shows up, b/c he's heard the Chateau's latest owner is looking to get rid of the place ("Business has been terrible there for years," he says) and he's interested in buying it. Erica, however, believes Nick is wasting his time (and money)...until she visits the place herself in order to convince him not to buy, and begins to get ideas. Later, Nick is livid to learn Erica has bought the Chateau herself! Nick leaves, and not exactly on good terms w/ Erica. She hires a new design team to restore the Chateau to its' former glory, sort of like what Disney did when they bought the old New Amsterdam Theatre in NYC; and for the grand re-opening, she calls upon Alicia Keys to give a special performance. (It's also the night when Jack pops the question to Erica, Angie discovers Frankie and Liza's affair, and Tad and Jesse unmask Natalia's killer.)

You're not being that nostalgic this time--a bunch of us have been saying this for months now (years?) At least they should bring back one of them (BJs even--which was last seen int he past year ot two wasn't it?--and the Valley Inn). Now we get CONFusion or the Yatch Club which seems to be outdoors even in Winter. Booo. And yeah I get that CONFusion has breakfast, etc, but it still seems odd to me that Pine Valley has such a thumping 24/7 club... (Where's Erica's Disco :cry:)

Don't kill Natalia. BOOOOOO!!

No, b/c Randi must be alive to find out about Frankie and Liza. Besides, she's been attacked by the killer already at this point. (My poor, beloved Alfred Vanderpoole has snapped, killing off prostitutes in and around the Pine Valley area after years of sexual frustration. Natalia was working undercover as a hooker to find the culprit when she was murdered; Randi decides to go undercover herself in order to help Jesse. Frankie and Randi fall out over her decision; Frankie ends up turning to Liza, then feels guilty after Randi ends up in a coma. See how that works?)

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
