Yep, it is running 4 episodes a week for 6 weeks during the summer, so it'll feel like a soap with longer storylines and more cliffhangers.

I have a feeling this will be the best season since... about Season 4 or 5.

:lol: at your response to that post.

Looks like Riley's little yoga slice is gonna be sticking around. Interesting.

The rest of the season, surprisingly and unsurprisingly, doesn't really pique my interest. Not surprisingly because...well, it's the new kids. I can take or leave 'em. Surprisingly because...I've kinda gotten used to them a little bit through season nine. Eh. We'll see. Hopefully ten is the last one, because I don't see them making this 4823948 episodes a season thing work.

That's funny, the first time I saw 90210 I thought Brenda and Brandon were boyfriend and girlfriend the way she was all close laying on his bed talking to him, didn't realize they were twins.

Geesh, am I gonna hafta get cable again to watch this? :lol: Do they put their episodes up on the net? I am so far behind on the Degrassi thing, I may have to say screw it to continuity yet again and just dive in. These people are all pretty much new to me anyway, though I noticed Spinner in the promo. Speaking of which, there are some extras on the dvds, and Spinner without question had the most impressive audition which I found interesting as he was pretty weak in the beginning. That kid always looked like he could afford to get cozy with a bar of Zest.

That was because Jason Priestley was so hot that Shannen couldn't resist putting her hands all up on his chunky behind.

They put the eps online. I haven't had The N in months, but I've mostly kept up through watching it on demand and the occasional online ep. :lol: about Spinner and Zest. I actually tried Zest this last go-round, but it's not enough to tear me away from Irish Spring. But anyway, Spinner's come a long, long, long, long way in many ways: as a character, he's gone from being the one-note bully to a mature young adult, as an actor, SK has gone from being obnoxious and green to pretty natural, and as a piece of flesh, he's gone from being a dirty, grungy little urchin to a pretty tappable slice.

Looks like he's always got sun in his eyes and skidmarks in his drawers. :D So is he the last man standing, so to speak? Any other originals left (besides Snake)? I'm sorry if I'm asking the same questions over and over again but I can't remember what people have answered re: this upcoming season and this past season. I'm gonna miss Emma, Manny and Lip-Liberty. :(

Have Joey and Caitline made any visits since Joey left? I haven't even seen his departure, I've just read that he'd had enough of playing the part.

LOL Especially during those bad hair years Spinner had, he looked mighty raunchy. Some people are in to that, but All My Shadows is not. It was all about Sean Cameron, his boxer shorts, and his undershirt for me at that time. But yeah, Spin's the only one left. Emma and Manny were in the opening credits for this season, but Emma only showed up once and Manny never appeared at all. I'm thinking they'll be in the TV movie coming out, but I really don't know. DTNG has handled this transition very, very poorly, I think. They wanted to get into telling stories with the new characters, but they also knew the old ones still had fans, so they tried to hold on to those characters even though they hadn't the foggiest idea what to do with them, hence Miriam McD. and Cassie S. being credited with everyone else. Spin's the only one who still fits as a semi-regular. The others can show up in a guest star capacity, like Marco did.

Joey and Caitlin are history. With Craig long gone, I don't see them having any reason to drop by outside of visiting Snake. What they need to do is reintroduce Angela Jeremiah, who should be ripe for the "go there"-ness.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense. 
    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.
