I think they need to just leave the Pam stuff alone, they're going to damage the character and B&P so much if they don't. I know people are clamoring for Pam's return, but sometimes it's best to leave sleeping dogs lie, so to speak

KMan I liked the acting from LG & PD, even JH is growing on me. It should have been about JR's passing, anything outside of that wasn't needed

Agreed on all points KMan....things should be better but while watching the show I remembered back to 21 years when the show was cancelled...I would have never imagined Id see Dallas back on the air after 21 years ...yes there were the 2 reunion movies but still.....it feels like seeing your old friend from high school...he might not be as hot as you remember him but he is still your friend...lol

And I could go on and on too...where was Jenna and Lucas Wade??? Where were JRs other sons?? Why isnt Lucas Wade fighting Christopher for his share of the Ewing fortune...he is the true Ewing....

I would never admit this anywhere else but here, but I broke down crying when the opening credits rolled. So many memories came flashing back, my mom and dad watching on Friday nights, my childhood. So sad.

Now I want a decanter with my signature on it like J.R.'s.

The intro was sad....I lost it with Sue Ellen at the funeral and I loved the ending with Bobby.....

Also ..where the hell was Donna too??....This should have been a big event for LH.

I'm so glad that they did it. A perfect touch. Now I'm remembering how GH used to play the slow version of Faces of the Heart on similar sad occasions.

Lucy looks like such a little munchkin, especially when they put her in a two shot with someone who towers over her. Ann's look this episode is reminding me of Donna Reed's Miss Ellie.

I don't think Linda Gray has ever looked better, she looks sensational. For a moment, I forgot that Gary is also an alcoholic. Nice little bonding moment though Sue Ellen clearly wants to "bond" in other ways. My friend just asked me what "branch" is. It's water! :lol:

Charlene has always had a weird body....it worked for as a young actress but during the final years of her run she gained weight......and Ann has always reminded me of Miss Ellie..either one...lol..of course DR Miss Ellie was so much more refined.

Damn, Bobby shut Ann down like a ride with a fatality at the carnival. That was pretty sweet. The most fire we've seen from ol' Bob all season.

That Sue Ellen scene was fantastic. I sat here going, "Don't do it! Well, go ahead... just a little... Don't do it! Well, go ahead, just a little..."

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
