[All My Shadows]

To be honest, I think Angie and Frankie (and others) should still be [!@#$%^&*]-a-brick shocked that Jesse is alive. It's been two years, yeah, but to be cool with the fact that someone you thought was dead for 20 years is now suddenly alive? That takes more than just two years to get used to, no?

Pretty blah episode today...

This whole Ryan stealing Zach's casino stuff is CRAP. I was laughing throughout all of Ryape's scenes, acting like he controlled that casino, giving people drinks on the house, etc...I find it really pathetic and low of him to do this, because he and Zach made a truse with each other before Zach left with Kendall in December...now he does this. I guess this is the writers way of giving Ryan something else to do, make him seem tough?? LMAO. And I absolutely HATE how they are making Madison support him, is this really all they can do with her? SG is a much better actress, and I think she deserves more than this crapola they are making her do, supporting Ryape and Greenlee. That last scene with Greenlee and Ryan, BORING! The only thing that kept me from fast forwarding, was that sexy song they had playing in the background.

I think RPG is growing his hair out. Even though I loathe Jamanda most of the time, I enjoyed their scenes. This is more of how I want to see them. Was David's name even mentioned? I hope it stays that way!!

Well yeah but then you'd waste a lot of time on soap operas with characters still going on abotu how they're soshocked various other characters are back from the dead

[All My Shadows]

True. I forget that soaps stopped taking the time to tell a whole story. But still, every time I see J & A together, it's like...wow, she should be running barefoot through the streets like a crazy lady.

[Cheap21]

She's avoiding the streets, bc she's trying to avoid gettiing thrown under the ABC bus

[reallyhateskateonlost]

UGH. Rylee at the end.

[EricMontreal22]

Not quite the same thing, but Agnes Nixon does talk about something similar she sees as a necessary evil in how soaps are told in both (wait for it my fave) All Her Children and in one of the Paley Center talks. That there comes a time that for story simplicity you can't continually refer to, say (her example in All Her Children) Ann Tyler's past in Europe married before the show--it stops really being relevant to the modern storylines UNLESS there's some time it is (ie she can use her exampleto talk to someone else). I think in a way this is what they do with back from the dead stories too. They mention it when its relevent but they can't really endlessly say "Oh and honey, I still can't believe you're alive after all these years!" after saying Good Morning.

Regardless - in the words of Gabby Sidibe - I'd hit that.
