The episode should have been 2 hours. The Sue Ellen scene at the end had me tearing up. Dammit they should have brought everyone back. Interesting Pam was mentioned at the end. So does Bobby know who killed JR?? It sure seemed like it.

I'm sure Pam will return in the season finale. Either VP is pulling a fast one on us or there will be a recast. At this point I wouldnt mind seeing MM again as Pam. Why do they insist if she is alive...Pam played by MM said she only had a few months to live but we never saw her die onscreen. I am also positive Pam shot JR and was the woman seen in Mexico......I have a feeling JR had her all along..thus his remark to Rebecca about getting rid of one Pam already.

At this point I think Victoria Principal is right to stay away from the reboot.

I was so disappointed with the funeral.

I hate Sue Ellen all over Gary. I hated Bobby's attitude. The dialogue given to Lucy, Ray, etc. all just felt forced. Why not show flashbacks too? IDK. I really didn't know what I expected but to say I was disappointed is actually an understatement.



I'm not being smart by saying it but what parts did you like?

I wanted to like Sue Ellen drinking but it felt a bit hollow to me.

I also rolled my eyes at Emma and John Ross. The fight was stupid. Mandy, Callie and Sue Ellen playing nice felt fake and forced. Not to mention the horrible lines they gave them.

I DID like Bobby finally tearing into Anne. That was fun.

Yes. In a way it makes sense that "JR once again drove her to drink" but nothing's explained on this show. It's all quick scenes and cuts. Jesse Metcalfe gets what feels like a 10 minute monologue and the vets who matter get a 2 second cameo.

I'm also not feeling that great so maybe I'm just not in the best mood but I really was looking forward to this and it all just felt so terribly put together.

And did we need as much focus on Emma? And Ryland? I love Pileggi and I'm kinda liking bastard Ryland but they couldn't have sidelined him this episode? Was that scene needed where he was threatened by guns at Southfork?

Emma shouldnt have been on tonight. It should have been all about JR and his past. Sue Ellen never had ill well against Callie.....she actually felt sorry for her when she married JR but Mandy is a different story. They ended their partnership badly...there should have been bad blood with them still after all these years.....I am sure had Katzman been alive he would have wrote those scenes with Mandy and Sue Ellen differently. Yes, it would have been great had they shown flashbacks of Sue Ellen calling Mandy the winger tramp.

Oh i agree...Elena was at the funeral yet Mandy and Callie werent?? Where were JRs other sons?? They could show up now to claim the business and fight John Ross for it. Where is Lucas Wade?? He should be fighting Christopher for his share too since he is rhe real Ewing....Where was Jenna Wade?? I am sure PP would have done one episode or Morgan Fairchild....

The episode went by too fast and was too choppy....long gone are the days when soaps did long scenes..

Where was the Cartel JR dealt with??? I know some of those actors are still alive...they should have been there...no Marlee Stone...shame....

Oh, I know that Callie and Sue Ellen were on good terms. I was fine with that. I did like Sue Ellen subtly reminding Mandy that she had years of JR cheating on her, which of course was a backhanded reminder to Mandy about that. I liked that line. I'm not saying I wanted a catfight or anything lol, IDK, it all just felt rushed. It really did need to be longer.



And I remember reading that Deborah Renard (Sly) was cut out of the episode after they started talking to her about appearing.

And is Ted Shackelford sick or just getting older? Wow.

Linda Gray still looks so damn fantastic. I thought she and actually Josh Henderson did a good job. Patrick Duffy also did good. I hated the scenes in the beginning with Carlos and the police. The dialogue writer should be fired.

      The sad thing about SC being a great actor is that his character has never worked. Ever. And yes if I don't know what Liam is about and just focus on acting... I can appreciate him. But as soon as I connect him to Liam... I cringe.  Maybe SC should run till he is still young and find himself a role where he can shine.

      As I've said before I don't believe the fact that both sisters have cheating husbands (one in the past, one more recently) is a coincidence or anything random. It's pre-thought and pre-planned and the message is clear. Cheaters can be found in all shapes, forms and sizes. Some do it in the most blatant way, they are known serial cheaters and their wives know of their past hook ups (as Dani has already said... she was willing to forgive Bill for his previous mistresses... till Hayley came) and some are more masterfully disguised in the image of the perfect husband. The fact that Dani was jealous of her sister Nicole's happy marriage in the first episodes was not a coincidence. I knew it the first second I heard it. It made me wonder and think what is beneath Nicole and Ted's picture perfect life. The show painted two very different sisters and then gave them the same crisis. It was intentional and dramatically focused on how these women acted after that... How they kept or did not keep their dignity. The contrasts and the similarities are not random. They connected the two stories very well. Telling us that beyond the gates there are secrets... lies and betrayals. And sometimes the happiest ones have the biggest skeletons in their closets. Is all of this a cliche? A soap opera serial cliche? Yes. Does it still work? Yes. And did we need to start with something that is more universal and easier to stomach by the mass audience? Yes. This is only the beginning of the show in terms of stories and themes. We will have years ahead of us to explore different aspects of these people. The first couple of months it had to be a classic sex and betrayal story that makes more people hooked. It's universal. Again. Nothing so far about both husbands being cheaters is coincidental for me. It's too early for that.

      Yes!!! Mona feels  like one of my aunts, love the way she carries herself. Loved seeing Eva pop-up at the gambling place.  Monday was all around good soap. Can't remember the last time an entire episode held my interest.  Loving the fallout and reverberations from Ted and Shea-Butter Sheila's affair

      . Tricia Mann Grant is 90s early 2000s quality FINE. As nice as it would've been to see Anita embrace Eva, I'm glad she didn't because we can squeeze a lot more years of conflict out of Eva, Leslie and the Duprees.   Lauren & Sheila, Viki & Dorian, Katherine & Jill all gave us good conflict for decades. Hopefully this follows suit. I understand the concern. Right now there's an issue of quality of black representation on shows more so than quantity of black shows. I'd like to see more predominantly black sci-fi, legal, political, supernatural or medical dramas over the typical who is sleeping with who. However, this is a soap, and this is what happens on soaps. White soap characters do these things all the time, but have the luxury of being seen as individuals, not representations of their entire race. Husbands/fathers like Todd Manning, Victor Newman and Asa Buchanan cheat, lie and swindle all the time but aren't seen as a commentary on white men. Black characters like Ted and New Dollar Bill should be able to do the same.

      Even under the new writers, Jamey episodes are the shortest and the weakest A lot of people were unnecessarily clowny and bitchy today. There was a lot of fluff and filler too. And the dialogue was a little… ehhh as well. But welcome back, Kevin! It’s been a long time lol his return still seems really random but I don’t mind it. Philip’s actions make sense to me based on everything that’s happened to him lately and it could possibly set up more tension between him and Xander/Alex. And I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Kevin team up. I thought the actor did a good job too. Too bad that they couldn’t get Robert Benvenisti back though. I didn’t realize it in 2001 but he was hot

      And, we got the word that Arianna wants to come home. I’m looking forward to that, and seeing her relationships with Gabi, Marlena, etc. on display and I hope that

      As for Rachel’s birthday party… was Days hinting at something that we’ve been speculating about since EJ was shot?
