Exactly. So where does that leave either Jamie Luner or Bobbie Eakes? I don't see them cutting either one of them loose, but Luner's Liza is more important to the canvass.

Hard to say, but if Hillary does indeed show up again, Bobbie Eakes will continue to just be window dressing. Its a shame, love or hate the character of Krystal, Bobbie Eakes is probably AMC's most talented actress next to maybe Debbi Morgan (and well for now Julia Barr). She is a powerhouse all the way. Maybe Bobbie can go back to B&B. They are well known for bringing people back from the dead (even after we see them in coffins).

It doesn't help that Broderick has never written for Krystal, so she doesn't know who or what the character is about.

I agree, Bobbie Eakes is talented. But Krystal is blah. The character never had any appeal for me.

Bobbie was given a horrible character with horrible writing but she really shines.

Plus ever since she's become friends with Jesse/Angie & gotten away from Tad/David/Adam she's been great but if AMC doesn't want her she would be welcome at Y&R.

Ahh, so Greenlee and Madison went to the same boarding school --- love it. I wish Madison had her edgy spark back - she's so watered down and boring now. Maybe she'll learn a few things from Greenlee!

Loving the Fusion stuff with Erica/Greenlee going at it. Too bad Randi can't cut it...

Also LOVING fierce Angie against David. Those two together are always dynamite.

OMG - Damon's mother is Hillary! Awesome - great use of history. This will be intriguing... I love the storyline idea - not 100% sold on the actor.

In one episode, Broderick has connected both Madison and Damon to a main character. Now that's how soaps should be!

I loved the Angie/David and Greenlee/Erica scenes today.

I'm intrigued by the idea that Hillary is Damon's mom and could conceivably come back. As someone else said, she was the first love of Tad's life and at this point, I would prefer seeing him reconnect with her instead of going back to Krystal. A triangle with Hillary/Tad/Liza would be great!

I'm sure Bobbie Eakes was good in another role, but Krystal hasn't been a good character since she lost her initial skankiness. It's time they cut their losses and let her go, imo.

I don't think Broderick's work in the past or currently justifies the cynicism that she would make David Damon's father.

I loved the Angie/David and Greenlee/Erica scenes today.

I loved these scenes too. I was disappointed to not see any back handed slaps.

A double bitch slap would have been so perfect. Frankie is taking pills and David will get blamed for this too.

Hillary back in the day...

and Carmen Thomas circa 5 or so years ago...

I always thought she had a little Lynda Carter look about her. I liked Hillary. Pre-Dixie, I always rooted for her and Tad... and I do suppose that during one of Tad's many outs with Dixie, he could have reconnected with his first love. That doesn't mean he did, but he could have.

Thomas is honestly one of the few people apart from Cady McClain that shared a very sincere chemistry with MEK... She last appeared in an episode of ER a few years back. I think she's beautiful and would love to see her mix it up with Tad again.

^Wow - she could almost be Jamie Lunar's sister...

I'm betting Tad will adopt Damon after learning Hillary is his mother...once she dies. Just a guess.

They can't kill off another one of Tad's loves.

Yeah, I don't think it will go that way... As for the Luner resemblance, I don't really see it. But the photos are probably showing something that my own memory (of Hillary the character) might overshadow.

By the way, not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Hillary's connections in Pine Valley run beyond Tad. Hillary is the daughter of Langley Wallingford, late (?) husband of the late Phoebe, Brooke's aunt - this made Hillary and Brooke cousins by marriage... and I recall that they did spend holidays together as a family at Phoebe's mansion.

Hillary is also the half-sister of comedienne Carol Burnett's infamous AMC character, Verla Grubbs. (So yeah, Damon sort of has a famous aunt!)

I'll be surprised if we see Hillary again, but hopefully they can respect her character (with some liberties taken of course) and still use her to further story even if she doesn't return. Last year she probably would have returned played by Traci Lords or Kristy Swanson, so that would have been very confusing in its own right.

Yeah, he's "late." When they killed off Phoebe, they finally alluded to Langley's death, too.

Sure, go ahead, call me cynical for thinking David will turn out to be Damon's bio dad. I'll just laugh all the more when it turns out to be true. ;-P

"Or they could just swat you away, like the annoying little gnat that you are"

LMAO!

Is Hillary a character people really care to see? Was she popular? All I ever knew is that she was married to Tad but she didnt seem to make much of a major blip in AMC's history

Good, lord WTF is Erica wearing? She has had the worst sense of fashion since gonig to LA. Her clothes are horrible
