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 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.
    • Thanks, these are great! Joanne Curtis, another soap character punished for having an abortion

    • 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.
    • And that area of the DMV has a high-end glamorous casino the MGM National Harbor. 
    • 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?
