I think if anyone knows Erica it was between Dimitri/Adam/David/Jackson no one else. Out of all Dimitri Marrick was the one, Jackson was written as the human doormat, David had his chance and then BOOM! blew up in his face.

What was the deal w/ her again, I'm drawing a blank now b/c of the cancelling rumors.

^I just don't see how Jack can know her, and STILL be in this position with her. Anyone who knew her even slightly would know she's running like the wind from her feelings for Caleb, not to Jack. But he just smiles at her and agrees to take her away. Yeah, so she can cheat on him after they're married instead.

She's a well-respected director. She directed the show many years when it was in NY and occasionally commutes to Los Angeles to direct. BUT, her name isn't Angelina, it's ANGELA! :lol: Oh, the attention to detail on this show is a joke sometimes. :lol:

He's known La Kane for 20+ yrs. Caleb is just some guy she met and is all for some wierd reason yet to be explained, attracted to. :lol: I agree that Jackson isn't her true love, he's just the puppy that keeps getting left out in the rain b/c of her. But no, not even Caleb can nor has he even remotely talked enough personally to know what's going on w/ her.

lol @ KWAK falling into the ocean

That little Erica/Krystal face off was awesome! Erica had so many great lines, LMAO. "Men and their briefs, you should know." "Here you are half naked reeking of desperation--and seaweed." "I think on your way out you need to grab a hairbrush and what scraps of your dignity you can find." "I know the little theory you have cooked up in that very air head of yours" lol!!

Walking mountain bore lull of a zombie Caleb is a joke, Asher is a joke, Marissa is a joke, and JR continues to morph into a joke. All of them were insufferable to watch today.

I'm frustrated with Bianca. I don't like how she's handling the custody situation at all. She doesn't even seem to care that much! Why isn't she the one calling Reese? Why isn't she raising hell?? Why isn't she showing any signs of being angry?? She is so blah and tame about everything. Marissa cares more than she does and I think that's just pathetic!

Loved Colby in this episode, I didn't mind her dancing and singing in the beginning, I thought it was cool. And I love her vlogs. I also think she's looking great these days, she just looked and acted more natural today than usual and I just really dug her.

I was crying when Angie & Jessie looked back on the day they got married! It was a nice touch that they went back to the house they got married in. The flashbacks :wub: It was all just so nice to watch...

I did notice that and it was the first thing I planned to type when I came to the thread! That was just weird, what a lazy mistake!

Nice seeing her direct episodes still though. Speaking of directors I'm glad we've been seeing shows directed by different people lately other than Casey Childs/Steven Williford. Maybe it's just me but I really do notice the difference. Loved seeing episodes directed by Shelley Curtis & Jill Ackles last week.

We'd be here too long distinguishing that one, I'm not a longtimer, prbly 15 yrs. like you but raised on VHS's of the old school soaps. Erica lives in the "it's all about me, and if it isn't it should be" world. JR is like the male version only more violent, Greenlee when she returned to town was on her way to being that, now not so much.

But there will never be anything next to Erica Kane in soaps or TV land again. This woman for generations doesn't let anyone ever address her as grandma, she doesn't even call the kids grandchildren, she just saids the boys or Kendall's kids or Bianca's bb girls, I have never witness that in my life.

I unabashedly loved Caleb when he came on--he's useless now. UNLESS they build up the Cooneys/Cortlands, just drop him and Ash.

I loved the episode (by recent standards). Nice to hear Natalie sing after seeing her bring down the house in the Chorus Line revival (though I wish they could have paid up for a song people acutally....knew?)

When Agnes conceived Greenlee I think she did see her as a new Erica--this time a poor little rich girl. She threw her in a triangle with a safe female romantic lead (Becca--a mistake) etc.... I still love the character and actress, I know I'm in the stark minority, and HATE what's been done with her.

    • 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
