Remind me, was Elena's brother/cousin from last season killed? Loving John Ross and Joaquin's suits. Judith Light is kicking age in the ass. JM and his schmacting will forever annoy me, but I see that I've gotten better at just tuning him out.

That scene with Judith and the drug trafficker was the highlight of the episode. I wonder if any of her OLTL castmates were watching when she did those lines of coke and thought, "Now THAT takes me back..."

No, I think BrotherMan (whose name escapes me) rode off into the night on his motorcycle. Chrissy threw a hissy fit that Elena helped him escape and they broke up.

I LUVed Bum's trying to get JohnRoss back on the better pathe---"grow into your father's greatness, not his weaknesses" (or some such...it's close) was a great line.

So is the FBI guy real, or is this just another ruse by Harris?

Yes...I think I suffer from HAHN Syndrome. biggrin.png

A decent episode. I agree about getting better at tuning out Jesse Metcalfe. He actually doesn't look awful with the beard, and I swear he was attempting a very slight southern twang tonight with Heather (AnnaLynne McCord needs to be given more to do! I hope they keep her around, i know it's just a guest/recurring thing).

I'm over the fracking, honestly. Same story, really, different season.

I think there's more to the Harris Ryland twist, but man, I'm finally interested in the character now after not caring one iota about him last week and wondering what the big deal was.

Maybe it was Judith Light and her amazing portrayal. Sooooo good. I about died when she unbuttoned her shirt and made Jesus from Meet the Browns feel her up and then when she did the lines of coke ... dead. Fantastic stuff.

Not enough Sue Ellen tonight. I like how it affects her that John Ross is also cheating. It should. I also liked how John Ross appeared to have actually heard what Bum was saying to him (I also admit I like how they are finding ways to keep him around).

Nicolas/Joaquin is a good addition and I liked Carmen threatening him. For once her character was interesting, but even just drying a dish with no lines she's more interesting than Jordana Brewster and Elena. God, zzzz.

Loved Pamela warning John Ross. Did anyone else think she's going to turn into an alcoholic too when they showed her with the wine? IDK. Probably nothing and just speculation but I found it interesting.

Ive seen the two episodes and the show is SOOOO good this season. It feels so much better than the first two. It really feels very soapy especially with John Ross cheating on Rebecca with Emma.

The decision to make Elena a bad girl, was such a good one as Jordana just doesn't suit the role of a heroine to me

Jesse Metcalfe looks very hot with the beard. I hope he keeps it. Not feeling Chris' new girl. I was wondering where I knew her from and its Naomi from 90210. Not liking her new look at all

LOL...I cant with Judith doing a line of cocaine

Question about the original series. Were there any black people on it and if so was JR a racist?

What was with Sue Ellen saying she had been cheated on for 40 years? Sue Ellen and JR were married i beleive in 1970 and divorced for the second time in 1988. Even in the two reunion movies they never really got back together for more than just a breif time.

Sorry but i hate when writers do that. like people don't love these characters and know their backstories. soap opera writers do it often too and i hate it.

She didn't say she was cheated on for 40 years by JR. Her exact words were "I've spent 40 years being cheated on..Im pretty good at picking up the signals". That could easily be taken as a blanket statement to refer to her experience with men from the time she started dating to our reintroduction to her with this reboot.

Jock I definitely could see as racist and the first BBQ with the Gone With The Wind black servants played to that, but I never saw JR as an intolerant man. JR was all about sex, money and power. I never got the impression he would care about somebodys race. Had the show been made at a different time I could easily picture JR sleeping with tons of black women.

    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate
