LOL...I watched. I don't know why...Hallmark movies are so ridiculously sappy. Which of course means I cried throughout the entire thing.

Betty White is frakkin' AMAYZING. As usual, I was more annoyed by Jennifer Love Hewett than anything else.

I floved Billy Magnussen in it. :wub: I hope he continues to do well in LA.

I didn't recognize him, but Gil Gerard played Betty White's son.

It was of course, sappy and predictable. But I still really enjoyed it. Betty White was fabulous. I had a feeling that once we knew that someone could find the body, that the train station would come into play. I feared it would be a big, showy thing, but for me that was the best moment of the movie. The way Betty White played it--just like every year with the Conductor sitting with her, her hand rubbing the wood, her feet swinging--and then it started. And LORD when she got to touch the casket...I bawled like a baby. The way Betty White played that scene was fantastic. She was subdued and subtle, but still conveyed so much emotion. When the Officer had to take her away so the casket could continue....ah. :wub:

Betty White is amazing. I found the guy JLH liked very hot.....lol. And Billy Magnussen....mmmmmm....gawd...so hot....floved him in the movie. I hope we get to see more of him too.

I was crying also. I was in tears for most of the movie. I wish soaps executives would see this movie. I felt like I was there with the Betty White character not just actually watching her perform. Nowadays soaps are just watched and they don't take you away into their world. Thats why soaps were so good back then. Now soaps offer you nothing.

Btw...the movie did really good in the ratings. It won its time slot and had the biggest numbers for the night with a (15.5 million viewers and a 9.9/15 HH rating.

    • Above, I said "Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her." Now adding onto that thought, I would clarify that sometimes I think Vanessa fools around for fun in a positive way.    But other times I sense that she's actually unconsciously trying to demean herself as way of numbing some inner pain -- it's hard to explain what I mean.  Sort of like... sometimes people drink for fun. But other times, people drink  in a self-destructive way, in order to drown out some inner pain. So I think she needs therapy about all of that.
    • A lot of these episodes are available on YT. The rape storyline starts around February or March of 1979 and Roger's demise is sometime in March 1980. The stuff from before 1979 is close to non exisitent, unfortunately.
    • Maeve Kinkead was on from 1980-1988 (left in January); 1989-2000 (went recurring 1996-97); 2002 -For Josh /Reva's Wedding; 2005 (appearances in May and December) back regularly from Feb 2006-end Maureen Garrett was on from 1976-80; 1988-2006 (recurring from 2003 on); 2009 Michael Zaslow was on/off from 1971-1980 with breaks in between but usually made an appearance every year then again 1989-1997.

    • Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.
    • Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together with his wife. Nicole needs a new husband!
    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!
