Ross beat Colleen to death with the pieces of the canoe. That's what Tea saw :(

Meanwhile, Tea had better stop that gaping open-mouth silent scream when she's around Billy or Nick. They're not going to let that opportunity pass by.

Graz and Kahlil work well together. I'm not sure why they were ever split up.

I remember that. Some at the time thought she was insulting Esther. I didn't take it that way. All that has been ignored anyway, since they suddenly had Chloe get along with Esther, and then had Esther disappear. Remember the pages and pages of character motivation discussion that used to go on then? I can't believe that was only a year ago.

It really pisses me off to think that the big winner in all this after the baby switch reveal/Phick-Shick triangle is going to be Nick. Whether he picks Phyllis or Sharon he's going to end up on top and he'll have his unneccesary baby back.

Same here. I wish so badly that both of these women would wash their hands of him, but that will never happen.

This whole Adam take down seems so out of place on Y&R. It's one thing to have Victor do it on his own, but to have the whole town do it seems campy, more in the style of Days or OLTL than Y&R. I agree it was odd that they didn't pick up where they left off with this story and yet I'm not looking forward to the verbal confrontation to come. I think it would have been much better if it were just Sharon and Ashley confronting him and they made him break down and confess what he did to them.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
