I couldn't agree more! This is not about AJ's best interests -- this is about Marissa's ego being wounded by JR seemingly choosing Annie over her. It is in the best interests of the child to have both parents in his life -- and the parents he knows now are JR and Marissa. JR offered that, but Marissa was too jealous over Annie to accept it. And now it's just a plot device -- a custody battle aimed to insert yet another obstacle in JR and Annie's path to coupledom.

Every time I tune in to this ish Marissa is going on and on like AJ is her real-ass son. He calls her "Mommy," etc. What the [!@#$%^&*] is that about? Even Joey and Kevin on OLTL remember Joe Riley from time to time. I ain't asking for Babe to come back, Lord no, but the bottom line is bitch, you been here like a year, you are not his mother. Stop pretending you are his mother. Even in the old days with Jesse McCartney, they kept a clear distinction between JR's relationship with Tad and the fact that Adam was his father, for better or worse. And BTW, back then Tad didn't treat the kid like [!@#$%^&*]. But Marissa is a lunatic, that's all I'm saying. It's not her kid, it's her dead sister's who she never even met, and she is way too invested in this "I'm AJ's mom" narrative. She needs to go psycho, period.

And Dan Cosgrove. [!@#$%^&*] please. Dan Cosgrove was okay on GL, but a snooze and two bits on everything else, everywhere. His 90210 stint as "Some Poor Bastard For Kelly To [!@#$%^&*] Until Luke Perry Comes Back" ended with him sticking his dick in a woman while fucked up on E at some desert rave, it was a joke. He was boring on ATWT, and he relies on this smarm that worked for Bill Lewis but it's already overripe. Are we supposed to buy Dan Cosgrove as "Scott Chandler, jail-hardened alpha male to compete with JR?" Who gives a [!@#$%^&*]?

Also, I have come to grudgingly accept Bizarre Recast Jamie Luner, but come on, DA? Lawyer was enough of a stretch, but DA? What is her primary field of case study or whatever? Cock inspection? I agree with others she should be back at that TV station, just [!@#$%^&*] with people all day. Bitch is what Luner is good at. Nuttin' else.

Oh, and this latest ColbyFAIL - she is a man. A MAN. You know what story this show should be doing? Asher trying to get Damon into bed and get some of, I don't know, Tad's money or something. Doesn't Tad have money somewhere? Did he eat it all? Have Asher try to seduce Damon by fuckin' with his meds again. Cause that's how the dynamic between those two dudes plays out onscreen.

I know, Tad of all people should understand where JR is coming from after all the custody stuff with Adam & Dixie years ago. He used to say he considered JR as his son, but why would he think JR should get back with Marissa when the bitch keeps acting like she's entitled to AJ?!? :blink:

Yup, the real Liza is back and taking no prisoners (pun intended, sorry!).

Yeah, Kendall's been annoying for a while now. I can't wait for her to get a storyline of her own so she'll shut up about Rylee!

I thought Adam Mayfield and Brittany Allen had chemistry, too. I'm optimistic that the new Scott & Marissa will be a couple out for revenge on JR and Annie! Although I wouldn't mind if Marissa did kill David, I think the writers are going to make Madison the killer so they can stick Ryan back with Greenlee. My best guess for where this is heading is that Madison announces she's pregnant after she's arrested and Frankie flashes back to sleeping with her the night David was killed, so Jesse agrees to keep her out of jail until the baby is born and it turns out to be Ryan's, leading to Madison leaving the show.

Yeah, it was one of the worst cliffhangers ever! Sadly, none of these better scenarios occurred to anyone in the writer's room? :huh:

And, after thinking about it, what irritates me the most about Tad's little "prove yourself to Marissa" speech, as well as his and Krystal's respective aghast reactions to JR's battle mode for AJ, is that JR can't win. When JR's upset, angry or on the verge of falling off the wagon, "Think of AJ! Fight for AJ! Stay strong for AJ! Do this for AJ!" because they know that AJ's the one thing in his life that will give him the courage that he needs to overcome whatever's ailing him. And then, knowing full well how much AJ means to JR and the importance of AJ's role in JR's sobriety, they immediately chastise him and act stunned when JR exhibits his very legitimate determination to fight for his son. Nobody in this situation is acknowledging the fact that JR fought cancer to stay alive for AJ. Nobody recognizes the fact that he fights to stay sober every minute of every day for AJ. No! Of course not. They wanna whine about how he has no soul, and then in the same breath, take away the only person in his life that reaches his soul. I just wish that JR had told Tad he didn't need to prove anything to Marissa. Even if he did, maintaining his sobriety and doing a little thing like coming back from terminal cancer is enough proof.

Can someone tell me what the HELL that was in the courthouse, when she's all whining about what obsessing over Rylee is costing her marriage -- and Ryan says "OMG! I don't want this ruining your life! Go to the boys! Go to your husband!" and all she does is sigh and go back into courtroom? That, to me, was it. Kendall = Pathetic. To use her husband and kids as a mere cover story for what she's really keeping from Ryan, and then to have a look of "ugh! Whatever. That lie didn't work" and just saunter back into the courtroom.

I'm sure the scenarios did, but the mandate is that this is THE REUNION WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!Vomit_7L6JUI.gif

Why does Kendall keep complaining about being put in the middle of Ryan and Greenlee? Love you, but no one else is forcing you there but you. You could be doing better things right now like raising your boys, taking care of your company, and working out things with Zach. Ryan told her straight out in this ep that she could go do those things and he wouldn't ask her for anything else, and she walked straight back into the courtroom! That frustrated me so much because that was her chance! She could have walked out of their and totally blocked them out of her life for awhile. Ugh!

    • I think she left before Justin. I remember someone saying her last scene is dancing with Ross at the ball, telling him she's leaving to be with Ben.
    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days.

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.     
    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
