Glad I didnt watch on Friday on my day off..seems awful to me. I tuned in for a second only to see Sharon with new hair coloring and a guy who resembled Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch.:blink:

I disagree. I think Victor went for the sake of Noah and Nick. His son/grandson were a huge part of Sharon's life, and she meant a lot to them. So despite his problems with Sharon, he went for them.

Phyllis shouldn't have been there.

Ashley had good reason not to go. Would you go to the funeral of a woman who took a child out of your LOVING home and put her in the home of a murderous creep?

And HE was a huge part of the reason why Sharon was in trouble in the first place.

IF the funeral had been planned by Adam sure but it wasn't.

And regardless of Sharon being with Adam Ashley knew that Sharon loved her children (as does Ashley) so she could've at least gone to the funeral in support of Faith (to say nothing of Aunt Jack).

Well, honestly, I tried coming up with the names of "friends" who should have been there, but really couldn't come up with anyone. Not counting Sharon's various bedmates, anyway. I would have thought Ash qualified as a "close family friend" given that she was both Sharon's ex-stepmother-in-law and ex-sister-in-law. Obviously Abby is Nick's half-sister...but I've never seen her exchange as much as two words with her.

But yeah...Phyllis' going is a huge WTF. "Mutual respect" my ass. She went to keep an eye on Nick. No doubt if she hadn't freshly flucked him, she would have begged off simply going with Jack.

I thought it was great that Phyllis was there. Who says MAB doesn't have a sense of humour!! :lol: There was mutual respect between Phyllis & Sharon, I saw it, they mutually respected that they couldn't stand each other for good reasons. :lol: But I think for their children and Nick they sort of tolerated each other and could work together. For all the times Sharon has attended Phick's weddings, holiday celebrations, it is only fair that Phyllis attends her "funeral" LMAO. The best part of all this is while everyone is eulogizing the blonde nitwit slutty wonder, there she is on a farm somewhere having a jolly grand "ole" time. The best part will be while Adam is mourning the love of his life blah blah blah, I guarantee you the amazing Sharon :rolleyes: will be having sex with her new manfriend. The girl sure knows how to rack them and stack them - at least this time she gets to sample another state, thank heavens. She gives new meaning to her moniker the "Blonde Avenger" lol.

I love Nick's FIRST true love comment...as it should be.

And let me not touch on the Diane stuff because that's about to get downright laughable and interesting. WTF was she there anyway...oh never mind I know why.

Where the heck was Neil, Lily etc. weren't they somewhat close to Sharon, I believe I know the reason why there weren't there for that either.

Now I understand why soaps do get cancelled. Lovely executed s/l.

I thought Daniel's comment to Phyllis was hilarious. Something like "now you're Wylie Coyote without the Roadrunner". :lol: Sometimes I think Graz makes those sorts of lines up, but probably not. I imagine someone would put their foot down. It just seems like he gets more unique lines than others.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Dr.FreshMeat Sam the Wonder Vet will be flattenin' the hay with Share-and-share-alike before Adam rides to her rescue.

I know why Diane was there. Aside from making sure her grandpa husband didn't fall asleep during the service, her spidey-senses had to be at a fever pitch when Phyll felt up Nick in the vestibule.

That scene was hilarious!! :lol::lol: I love Phyllis & Daniel's relationship...they call each other out all the time. Probably the most realistic mother/son relationship on this entire show. Can't wait to see them go at it over Lucy the smokescreen baby s/l. No, I think some goofy writer put that in and I thank he/she for doing that. The Sharon character has become such a bad parody so I thank the writers for making her "funeral" a bad parody as well. God knows that there is nothing remotely entertaining about this show anymore but this made me LMAO!! So I guess I should say well done lol.

Dr. Freshmeat Sam...lol...good one!!! :lol:

Hey, I have seen Phyllis feel up Nick before, I have seen Nick feel up Phyllis before :wub: and it was nothing remotely like that scene where she touched his arm and laid her arm on his back. In fact she was hesitant at doing it but Nick needed that. In fact I would like to thank the writers for that poignant moment because just recently I have seen Summer comfort her Dad the same manner when she knew something was up with her father. And I certainly didn't hear anyone saying Summer was feeling up her Dad so I am going to take the scene for what it was, Phyllis trying to be there for Nick. I liked that she asked how Noah was doing first before anything. No matter the relationship that Phyllis & Sharon have I am glad the writers don't mess with the kids when it comes to that.

    • 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.

    • 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
