What the hell was Opal wearing?

Has anyone noticed how JY's body language has become very B&B? He's always striking cliched soap opera poses.

I thought MCE looked so cute in the hoodie with her makeup wiped off.

From the captures alone, it looks like a Venus fly trap has swallowed her whole.

I loved it. It looked alot better in video. It worked for her and was quite elegant as opposed to the tacky look she was known for

No wonder Jake was against a Annie/Amanda friendship, I sensed some chemistry between the two during their hug.

So I was not the only one thinking that

She was fired in early August? They managed to keep that under wraps for quite a while.

It surprised me as well but BA confirmed it at the Chandler brunch event.

Oh Jacob :wub:

Thank you cheap

Loved Opal's reaction when she saw Erica!

I was pleasantly surprised that they finally brought back Erica's new place. Was not so pleasantly surprised, however, by those awful disco ball lights. Yuck.

Also the set is so big (at least as far as AMC sets go). Maybe they should have made it smaller so they would have room for one more set in the studio, like say an actual office for Chandler Enterprises.

The music during the JR/Scott scenes was awful.

Are you serious? With all of this Chandler/Cortlandt crap going on, there hasn't been a single office? How about the Chandler study, even?

Loved Amanda being Annie's friend. Amanda has been a misfit herself so she gets it. Can Marissa and Mommadoll just go away please? I hate how Opal was all BFF with Krystal. Everyone has completely forgotten what she did to Bianca.

Krystal's past was thrown in her face 2 days ago. It hasnt been completely forgotten. Opal didnt instantly be friends with Krystal. They are family. They got closer when Krystal married Tad.. Things went sour there and Opal gave her hell for how she ruined her marriage but she's since forgiven her. They currently live together and Krystal is raising her grandchildren. I dont see the issue with Opal being friendly with her. Considering they are living in the same home, it makes more sense than Opal not acknowleding her or having anything to do with her. Plus with Erica gone, she really hasnt had a female to talk with. Look how quickly she dropped Krystal though when she saw her BFF back.

They've definitely had the study on a few times... no worries, boo!

They do work a lot in the Chandler living room, all leisurely and like.

Imo, TPTB should submit yesterday and today's episode for the writing and drama series Emmys next year.

I can see why Adam Mayfield was fired. He played rage the same way Cameron Mathison does with no underlying shock or tears. I expected him to show more emotion.

After their confrontation today, I'm looking forward to the Scott/JR rivalry in the future with the new/old Scott.

I love Annie & Amanda as BFFs although it seems obvious that Erica's going to somehow use Amanda against the Chandlers in her quest to help Caleb. On a somewhat related note, I love that Erica's penthouse is so huge and in some ways it reminded me of the Linden House back in the 1980s (the stairs especially), but I don't know about the disco balls or the flaming cauldron (whatever that was supposed to be). I just wish we had seen the bedroom when she and Jack made love.

It was great to have Opal playing such a big role today without being just Erica's friend or Tad's mom again. I'm so tired of her not having a storyline yet!

Haven't seen today's show yet, but I really like of the idea of Mandy & Annie as girlfriends. Annie looks hot even when she's a crying mess.

but I don't know about the disco balls or the flaming cauldron (whatever that was supposed to be).

The disco balls must be Erica's tribute to her old discothèque.... the flaming cauldron could be telling us that Erica practices witchcraft.

its funny how everyone is coming to that same conclusion. Those scenes should have been pretty powerful and he came across weak. He just wasnt as strong as he should have been and while I did like him, its for the best that they get a more capable actor for where they want to go with Scott. AM just cant cut and he's too much of a loveable goof for me to take seriously like that

IA on these past 2 shows being Emmy worthy. Very well done

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did reveal Austin's shooter...about a year and a half later.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
