JR/Annie/Scott/Marissa -- still my favorite storyline right now. Annie is pure love!

This storyline is the best right now, it has all the right elements. I'm really digging it. Annie is the best part, i love her ;-).

AMC needs to just ripoff the band-aid on Binks&Reese and move on.

I really disagree. I think AMC should invest in bringing back Reese, and continue to explore Rianca's relationship. There is so much more that can be done with them, and Bianca needs her wife with her in PV to be there with her and the girls. The girls miss her, thats been established more than once. There is no excuse for Reese to just be hanging out in Paris doing her Architect work! I will be disappointed in AMC if they don't bring her back.

Im no David fan but Im sick of him getting blamed for every damn thing that goes wrong on the show

I'm going to play devil's advocate because I felt Greenlee, Natalia, Jesse & Angie's dirty looks at David were justified when he put on his jacket and there was blood on the sleeve, which I'm pretty sure was the point of that scene. Since we know David wasn't responsible for what happened to Ryan, we know the blood was from trying to help him but the gang isn't so sure.

As for the rest of the episode:

I too hated Ryan's dreams of Greenlee. Sadly, someone behind the scenes is deluded enough to believe this is what we want to watch. At least it was easy to ff through.

Natalia's return was marred for me by her saying that Jesse is the greatest police chief Pine Valley ever had and it was wrong for him to be suspended. Once upon a time, she was calling him out on not going by the book and now she's his lapdog!

Bianca moving back into Wildwind makes sense to me and I think she might be the friend Caleb needs to open up about his past. I'm sure he has more secrets than we know so far.

I loved Caleb confronting JR because it means the Cortlandt/Chandler feud is coming back in a big way. I'm excited for where this is heading.

No, it was established Ryan had a brain aneurism in the lobe where he was shot 2 years ago. Plus, Greenlee knew that the blood on David's jacket came from trying to help Ryan, because he took it off in her presence.

"The gang" is just being a bunch of idiots.

I'm surprised Greenlee hasn't blamed him for her infertility.

Why, because he inseminated her on his couch? I had totally forgotten about that.... she will.... give it time.

Shannon Kane is just amazing to me. Love whenever she is on the show, and i enjoy watching her do her thing. Her obvious talent kills me because she could be doing SO MUCH more on this show!! I'll take whatever i get from her, though. Loved her and Jessie's talk. I wish AMC didn't kill off Rebecca!

Killing Rebecca was short-sighted and stupid and it accomplished nothing, especially when they were lucky enough to have an actress the caliber of Laura Koffmann in the part.

That's the problem with heroes and villains on soaps, it's all or nothing. We know how bad David is. We don't need the Dr. Evil Chorus re-enacting The Crucible everytime his name is mentioned. Just like some of us have no interest in hearing how wonderful Ryan is day in and day out. They can send his ass back to Krypton anytime they're ready.

Yup. With Greenlee and Kendall threatening him into doing it with Amanda L. Beall's "FABULOUS" dialogue: "This is the Land of Nod. We tell you to do [whatever] and you nod!"

I may be wrong, but I think I recall Laura Koffmann not wanting a long term contract.

I may be wrong, but I think I recall Laura Koffmann not wanting a long term contract.

There was plenty of alleged backstage politics going on with that situation. It wasn't just "let's kill off Rebecca... just because!"

This is just my personal perception, but whenever a character goes into a non-speaking coma, that means that contracts are being worked out behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, Ryan has been up and about and as vocal as ever in his coma-visions. So that means this coma is just for dramatic purposes, and they're giving Ryan speaking scenes (the sappy Rylee fantasies) to reassure Cameron of such.

I missed most of this episode yesterday, but I did happen to catch the lame Rylee dreams Ryan was having.

So in his mind Greenlee is still dead, then she comes back to him, and once he wakes up he'll believe that he's picking up right where he left off with her?

Why is Angie acting like a dumb blond? You have no business working in the ER let alone a hospital.

ETA:

Two articles on blind doctors. Do you think All My Children will actually go there? Or will they go the Christmas miracle route?

I appreciate you! I've been asking this question for weeks! She's giving a whole new meaning to going deaf, dumb and blind!

Her ego needs to be, as her wifehusband would say, put in deep check! This is all because she doesn't want David to win. Sweetie, he owns the hospital. Game over, get your ass home. Quit stumbling around and walking into walls and wandering into traffic.

Vee: "Oh, for the love of God." If that happens...!

I would say each new dumb plot twist must be like a dagger to Agnes Nixon's heart, but the poor dear has suffered so many, she's probably used to them by now.

Where is the real Angie Baxter Hubbard? The one I grew up admiring? I WANT MY ANGIE BACK, YOU BASTARDS!

I'm torn here. I somewhat agree with you. It's in character for Angie to not want to let go of the hospital or of being a doctor but it's OOC for her to be so stupid about it. The idea that she can keep this a secret until they see if the drugs work is laughable.

And, excuse me, if she's on "experimental" drugs isn't she part of a drug trial? Shouldn't she be checking in regularly with the specialist who prescribed them? Oh wait, he didn't prescribe them. He just had a bottle of them sitting around his office so he gave them to her and let her go back to practicing medicine.

On another topic, as soon as the budget allows it they REALLY need to get a set for Chandler Enterprises. Three twenty-somethings shuffling papers in the living room don't make for a believable corporation.
