[R Sinclair]

It's a bit of John Mayer syndrome. The unclever trying to be clever.

[Jonathan]

For those of you who are viewers of other soaps, do the other shows have as many entrepreneurs and business owners as All My Children? It seems like everyone owns or runs some sort of company.

Cortlandt Electronics - Erica/Caleb

Chandler Enterprises - JR/Scott

Casino & Cambius Industries - Ryan

Pine Valley Hospital - David

Fusion - Greenlee/Kendall

Krystals - Krystal

Also, Tad owns a PI firm and I think still runs Orsini and Jack and Liza both have their respective law practices. There are few characters who work for the man.

Tad doesnt have a PI firm and he doesnt run Orsini. He gave up his PI firm back when he was shot at Angie and Jesse's wedding and for the longest time remained unemployed until Ryan recently gave him a job.

Speaking fo which, why and how did Ryan get Cambius Industries and why doesnt Zach have that one?

[Jonathan]

Tad is still in the PI business. Jesse hired him last week to find the mechanic who tampered with Erica's plane and he also used his PI business as an excuse to go see Paul Miller.

[Cheap21]

thats freelance stuff. Jesse asked a favor as a friend. He's also used his skills to help his brother Jake with the David mess. Just bc he doesnt have a PI firm anymore, doesnt mean he doesnt still have those skill and wouldnt use them when necesary. He gave up his actual business and does not have an office where he takes on clients and cases.

[Jonathan]

That means he's still in the business. Freelance doesn't mean it's a hobby.

[Cheap21]

whatever you want to call it. He is in the business; he doesnt OWN a business. The point is, the PI firm which he once ran is no more. He does not own it and he has no office. He left that behind to focus on his family. This casino position is the first full time job he's had since 2008

[Jonathan]

I remember the episode where he said he was going to leave his business behind. But if you say he freelances that means that he owns a business. He doesn't need an office with a pool table to say he is a business owner.

[Jonathan]

That last scene with Erica was obviously shot on a different day. Why didn't Liza just delete the pics from Damon's phone?

[baller]

R, the banner is classic!

Can't help but feel CBL really getting into the role of Binks. Can we have Reese back now?

Liza and Damon is just too much fun.

[All My Shadows]

IIRC, Ryan owns Alexander Cambias Sr.'s shares. Alexander willed them to him on the condition that he had no grandchildren. When it was revealed that Bianca was carrying Michael's child, the shares were going to go to her, but then everyone believed Miranda was dead, so Ryan got the shares. I don't even remember what happened when Miranda turned up alive, when Ethan showed up, when Alexander was revealed to not be dead, etc.

[Cheap21]

I rememebr all that but Ryan lost them when the Cambias family, Zach, Ethan and Miranda appeared. Thats why Bianca works at Cambias bc she is doing it on Miranda's behalf. I beleieve Zach was running Cambias prior to him leaving so I dont know how Ryan got in on that

None of this is official. It amounts to his friends and family asking him for help bc they know what he can do. I doubt they even pay him and its a favor that he does bc of their relationship and probably bc he's bored. Strangers arent calling him asking him to take on cases

[Steve]

Nope, I never thought of that and don't find it amusing. As AnnSS said, if you're going to post that [!@#$%^&*], don't try to hide it, own it!

Caleb does look unwashed and gross. Maybe he and Jake should hang out.

I also felt the Caleb/Opal chemistry and I hope the show goes there eventually instead of sticking Caleb with Krystal.

I'm also glad Erica's out of Fusion and Bianca's taking her place.

I love Caleb's nicknames, too. It reminds me of Sawyer from Lost.

I'm looking forward to learning more about why Caleb hates Adam. Hopefully this will be a major story down the road and David Canary will make a brief return for it.

For the rest of the episode, I loved JR's fantasy highlighting how pathetic Marissa is compared to Annie. The dialogue sounded to me like Marissa was almost a mother to him instead of a wife, making him feel safe rather than alive. I also loved Damon kissing Liza. They both seemed taken aback by it, imo, and I hope it's the beginning of them falling for each other.

[Cheap21]

Ive wanted Amanda and Annie to be friends but they are in 2 different orbits on the show
