LMAO!

Right now Jess/Tess can give her a run for her money in that department.

Um, I know. I saw it, darling.

...and a mistrial isn't a win.

But the mistrial had nothing to do with her competence as a lawyer.

And is the original Viki DID story on Youtube from start to finish? I would love to see it.

Ben, you're welcome! Your second guess is correct. We were told to suck it up and enjoy "Tess" doing what BW said she preferred (and DH preferred to write) which is play a rich, amoral, murderous mean girl. At one point, it came out that DH wanted to make her creation "Tess" the core personality and "Jessica" an alter (she was told no). Think about it. If "Tess" was the core, that meant Tess had been sexually-molested from birth to the extent that she had to create alters such as "Jessica" as an infant.

Wow, that all sounds horrible. At least someone had the sense to say no to DH and her "genius" storytelling.

I saw a clip the other day with Viki and a pregnant Tess (who I assume was Bree), and was wondering if Tess was gone by the time Jessica gave birth, or if Tess gave birth to Bree? If the latter, then did Tess ever have any maternal feelings for Bree?

"Shocking" character destruction for the sake of cheap laughs and to "shake things up" for sweeps.

You can tell it's a cheap sweeps stunt, and considering the story has a shiny new bumper, it seems like Tess will be around for a while.

It's one thing to be upset, but John has crossed over into pathetic, not a very sympathetic character.

You just know that Charlie is going to lie to Viki about his night with Echo.

Seems like they are writing Charlie into a corner.

I heard Rama and Vimal are only here until spring. That makes me sad. I love them. Keep the Patels and get rid of Aubrey and the Fords!

Here is a clip of Niki from 1979

John's been pathetic for years. Even if you get away from the powderkeg of his various pairings you have a forty-something professional man (remember this guy was considered one of Quantico's finest) who's spent the last eight years falling down the career ladder (FBI agent to small town detective to bar owner) and living in a ghetto SRO. Of course in a town where a serial rapist is portrayed as a mix between George Clooney and Henry VIII, I guess a dipsotic, chronically depressed Peter Pan IS a catch.

I would keep Rama, but not Vimal. Unfortunately she isn't a dead-eyed blonde with bad line readings, so...

I'll have to think more about Bree's birth. Originally, I remember that "Tess" wanted to abort her first Nash pregnancy (Bree). Nash arrived at the doctor's office and stopped her. The only "Tess"-involved birth I recall right now is the birth of Chloe (stillborn). "Tess" conjured up an imaginary "Niki" to coach her through childbirth. Jessica came out at the end to do the actual birth. When Jessica realized the baby wasn't alive, she split into "Bess" who took charge (switched the stillbirth with Starr's baby). Later, Viki (the real Viki) arrived to find an exhausted Jessica with "Chloe" who was actually "Hope."

Unfortunately, I think you might be right that "Tess" will be around for a while. IMO, something is very wrong when TPTB give a temporary fake character like "Tess" her own elaborate bumper right away while never doing one for Viki. Viki's pictures in the openers are the oldest of all while the other vets have had new ones made over the years.

My favorite ES/RH scenes from the big DID storyline. Todd drops by Llanfair to ask why Viki is sabotaging her own newspaper and meets "Tori," the truth-teller alter. "Torie" is furiously preparing to set fire to every reminder of Victor (she eventually only partially burned the staircase, hallway and her bedroom). Todd gets schooled on what he missed by not ever knowing their Father:

"Here some of the beginning."

Thanks, I've seen very little of that era. What's most astonishing to me is that David Vickers was actually a human being at one time and not just a walking punch line.

I would keep Rama, but not Vimal. Unfortunately she isn't a dead-eyed blonde with bad line readings, so...

Rama and Vimal both need to stay. One of the thigns I love about Rama is her relationship and devotion to her husband. They are sweet together. I wouldnt want to split them up
