Yes. David needs to be a part of this storyline. He was the first person to figure out that Bianca was gay, and he always seemed to be one of the few who never blinked at the whole thing. But this is his daughter, the only child he has left...this might be different. And then we have the whole Bianca/Miranda babyswap stuff there, there are so many doors that can be opened with this storyline. Erica, Jack, Krystal, they'll all have reactions. David will most likely (if written in character) be a Minks fan. He might even earn himself some time with Miranda. Ah. There are so many possibilities here.

And, Bianca/Marissa actually have chemistry. It's not being written nearly as contrived as I thought it was going to be.

I vote "no" on Minks. Bianca deserves a lesbian who's been a lesbian all along, not one who's a lesbian because she drew the shortest straw.

Oh, I see. Like a bait-and-switch kind of thing. JR thinks he's going to confront Asher w/ Colby, but when he turns on the lights - SAY WHAT??? - it's Bianca and Marissa.

Because she's had that before, and so have we. Aside from Lena and Frankie, Bianca's long-term romances have involved women who were not lesbian to start out with, or only became lesbian because...well...the writers could not think of anything better for the girls to do. To quote Othello, that's false as hell.

Well, being on a P&G soap definitely matures you a bit (not literally, but you know what I mean), and so with Michael Park, I don't think there'd be any need to bring up within the context of the show the fact that there's a huge age difference going on with the two characters. I mean, it'd be acknowledged in the scripts sometimes, but it wouldn't be this big ordeal of "OMG Erica's with a younger man, she must be going through her midlife crisis...again!!"

Well, honestly, I think those relationships generally sucked because they were written like crap or just very aimlessly (Bianca/Maggie, I'm talking to you!). I'd rather see Binks hook up with a woman who's totally secure in her sexuality, but I'm totally down with Bianca/Marissa if it's written well, and so far, it has been. Dave'n'Don are very hit or miss, but when they get something right, it's really good.

Now, there's no way in the world I would have Marissa go through "coming out drama" like a random teen. That sh!t's been done. SG's Marissa is a bit more vivacious than BA's was, so I could believe her warming up to Bianca throughout the custody battle, getting closer, getting closer until they win, and then she either plops a celebratory kiss on Binks or she pulls out an AMC classic and surprises her with a candlelight dinner in a totally random location like the Miranda Center or something.

Not one bit interesting to me and I like lesbian couples s/l. It needs a huge road block, ala JR finding out Marissa likes Binx, jilted and then sets up Marissa to walk in on JR/Binx in bed type twist. Marissa broken b/c she thinks Binx just switched teams but it's really just JR manipulation does something stupid that might cost her AJ.

That'll truely be atleast entertaining. JR switches what Binx/Babe did to him years ago. Since it's a soap, it makes sense and then bring on the enemies.dry.gif Marissa & Binx can throw the you're disgusting! dialogue and etc.

I'm trying not to look at this as just a JR fan but an in character like move. If Marissa is turning gay or in between, she needs that extra shove, the point is she walks in on JR/Binx is so wierded out that her first reaction is WTF is going on?! on top of that it can be while she's falling for Binx making it that much painful since what Annie did to her she assumes Binx did the same. Another person she can't trust, she can get in accident or kidnapped by Ricky or whatever after that but the angst is there for them and JR finally rids Marissa from his life, gets payback on both, Binx via association to Marissa, JR is the bad seed of PV, and more cruel than ever.

Agreed that Michael Nouri is painful to watch. It doesn't help that the character was so ill-conceived. I think the character could be a viable threat to Erica & Jack, which is obviously their end game, if they had a more charismatic actor in the role. And they also need to do a better job of defining the characters' motivations and fleshing out the story more. I mean, I don't even understand why Erica is attracted to mopey old Caleb. The whole thing just rings of "it's time to find SL a new leading man, preferably a name actor, and we'll try to figure out the story later on."

I dunno, I don't think Jack knows her at all. So yes, I do think it's possible that Caleb can know her in almost a year. I think David knows her, maybe better than anyone else, and he got that read on her in a year.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
