Damon's growing on me but in their effort to show how much like Tad he is, he's coming across like a pissy little screw up. I like seeing Dr. Hardass. It's good to see a black woman act a little bitchy. Yeah, its a crumb but I'll take it. Especially since Jesse is wearing the same panties and push-up bra that destroyed Derek Frye.

I know right? I just want her to grab him by the hair and say, "Listen you little punk, I flew a helicopter on my wedding day and looked like a million bucks doing it. I can make sure they never find your body. Now take out the earbuds and sack up or the next job I'll give you will be combing my wigs!"

Because I live for your approval.

Oh, please. She's become the epitome of the cliched TV Black Bitch. What Chief of Staff tells an orderly "Now get to steppin'?"

Get to steppin'? Are you kidding me?! :rolleyes:

Yeah, I can totally see Joe Martin running the hospital this way. Tell me why she's better at running the hospital over David, again? If David was treating Damon this way, my GOD! Tad, Jake and Angie Angela would become exceedingly indignant and concoct another brilliant "plan" to frame David for whipping 70 year old medicare patients with a bed pan.

Well, because, I did, lol.

I think I might have mentioned this before, but I had a very lonely childhood. My brother was almost a full decade older than I, so we had nothing in common. Nor did I have anything in common with the other kids at school, or in the neighborhood. Therefore, I spent much of my time at home, in front of the TV set, getting to know these adults on the soaps who, in a sense, became like family to me. I learned everything I could about them, both historically and psychologically, to the point where, at nine or ten years old, I began fanwanking (on notebook paper, this being before the Internet and all) story ideas for all of them.

At the same time, I remembered all those long, afternoon conversations between my mother and grandmother (conversations they probably didn't think I was paying any attention to - except, as a kid, I learned how to be very quiet and listen, lol) that taught me pretty much how soaps are supposed to work. Mind you, they weren't writers themselves, or network execs. Just two housewives who, like everyone else, knew a "good" story from a "bad" one; and knew whenever a particular character was either being under-utilized, or had been exhausted of every possibility. When I started remembering many of the things they've discussed and applying them to my own viewing experience (like knowing when a character's journey has been completed), I knew this was the business I wanted to be in forever.

In a way, it was better than attending any MFA Writing program out there.

I think there is star quality all over Finn Wittrock (Damon). I thought he was great in Friday's show, especially his scenes with Tad. He went from being so happy and mischievous in the beginning, to sad and distraught all in one episode. I also like how he calls Angie "Dr. Hardass" LOL. I like how he's developing nicknames for people..I hope he goes back to calling Liza the "Dragon Lady". I can't believe he stole pills again in the end, and got CAUGHT! He just can't catch a break...

I am happy to see JR acting more like his father, and I was surprised that he already knew about Ryan buying Zach's casino, and being angry about it because Chandler could have tooken it over. This is the JR i like and want to see, now if only he would get over this obsession with getting rid off Annie and do something else!

I don't find her cliched at all but black and bitchy works for me. I don't want to see ANGELA (Say it like you mean it!) fall victim to the same toxic nobility that destroyed Evangeline, Rachel and now Layla on OLTL. I see Angie in the same way that I see Erica, Brooke or Adam. "Get to steppin'" works for her. It's no different that Erica's tight little dresses and fluttering eyelids, Brooke's pursed lips and raised eyebrow or Adam's "What in blazes?"

If she wants to say "get to steppin'" then I suggest somebody GET. TO. STEPPIN'.

Joe Martin is gone. Deal with it.

That said, I can see Joe doing exactly what Angie did. He'd be more grandfatherly about it but I have no doubt he would've told Damon to shape up or find another gig. The Joe Martin I remember placed the welfare of the hospital and its patients FIRST. He had no problem throwing down, he simply did it with a beatific smile and courtly manner. I think Joe would be proud of Dr. Angela Hardass. The only thing that would be better. IMO, is if Damon had to split his community service between the hospital and working at the Miranda center where - in my imagination - Tom Cudahy counsels alcoholics and Livia Frye heads up the legal aid program..

Gillian, Dixie, Maria/Maureen, and Greenlee.

Here, we agree. I have no use for the sanctimony where David is concerned. He's a weasel but I would far prefer it if the anti-David squad didn't try to claim the moral high ground.

Livia and the Fryes became irrelevant when they probably got the idea to bring the Hubbards back bc god forbid they feature 2 prominent black families. I can picture Angie and Livia being really great girlfriends, but 2 strong powerful black women on the show at the same time? Nah thats pure fan fiction material

    • 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).
