Tuesday's episode was so good (loved how it focused only on one story) and how could you not follow up on the CLIFFHANGER???!! I was so looking forward to Wednesday's episode and all I got were C and D stories? WTF!! :mad: I can take bad stories but I cannot take horrible episode continuation - it ruins the freakin momentum! SOB!

the breakdown writer has nothing to do with what show follows the show the day before! that is all on MAB and HS AND PR!! MAB has proven once again that simple things like episode continuation mean nothing to her!! She had a good Flow going and it stalled out!

The Head Writer and the Associate Head Writers map out the stories and the barebones structure of the episodes. It's the Breakdown Writer's job to illustrate their day-to-day vision by, in detailed description, illustrating the scene.

Well, FINALLY we get an episode that's GOOD, that is structured properly, has good pacing and stellar acting all around. It's about damn time. However... this SHOULD have been done during May sweeps, Tuesday's show should have been a FRIDAY show, and today's should have been a MONDAY show. Could it be Maria is finally taking advice about her lackluster payoffs? I hope the hell so.

So Heather and Rafe angrily got together to compare notes about how they were both duped into the sack by Adam? They should've done this months ago! On another note, it's nice to STILL see Chance is afraid to get "dirty" with Chloe. LOL! I've concluded that something is not right about him and I've felt it from day one.

Disagree with the bolded part. The show was dragging this sh!t on LONG enough. Plus, the show should be good all year. Every cliffhanger and every story should matter. I think that's the problem with soaps today. They don't treat each episode as a masterpiece. They treat most episodes as filler and lousy buildup, so when the truth IS revealed(like it is in today's episode), it all just falls flat.

Other than "Adam is one sick son of a bitch" for just telling bold faced lie after lie, I didn't feel anything for this reveal.

Also, watch Giggly and the Chimp get back together even after the faith reveal.

I thought Josh was fine... and HELL NO, the music was not overdone. It was right for once in a million damn years. It's just been so UNDERDONE, Carl... when it's right, it seems too much to you. Today's music was a prominent as it was in the 70's, and it wasn't tacky, synth crap. glorious!

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, that seems of touch in 2025. 
    • 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.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
