Why does Cain have to be alive?? I swear to GOD the amount of characters that have returned from the dead under this regime: Philip III, Katherine, Adam, Skye, Chance, now Cain, and soon to be Sharon......what gives? Frankly, save Katherine and Sharon, I'd have been fine with all of them staying dead. Yet the ones I'd want back- Brad, Drucilla, and Colleen- we'll never see again.

Yall think maybe Cassie faked her death to bring Nick and Daniel closer and really she was just pregnant with Daniel's kid and too scared to face her family? Or maybe she had a breakdown when she realized she did the exact same thing her mom did with her and didn't want to make the same mistakes?

MAB might as well go the Dallas route if she is going to continue with characters coming back from the dead cause this [!@#$%^&*] is so overdone and boring as hell

Why does he though? I find certain characters attitude to this situation really sexist. If Summer had been raped and decided to give birth would Phylis be pushing this kid on her? Daniel didn't even have that much choice in that matter and yet everyone thinks he needs to deal with this child. It gets my back up. He should have the right to put her up for adoption and never hear about the matter again, the same as a birth mother would.

What makes it worse is that Giggly KNOWS the couple who've adopted Lucy so it's not like visitation isn't an option for her or Daniel but that's not enough. Instead she wants to put Lucy in danger for nothing.

It's sick.

That is exactly what's wrong with Phyllis' reasoning in this story. And as I remember it, it's not "everyone" expecting Daniel to raise this baby, it's ONLY Phyllis berating him for "not stepping up" for HIS child. It's complete and utter bullshit for Phyllis to stick her nose in this---it's NOT about her, her past or her having "been separated" from her baby. She wasn't SEPARATED, the bitch LOST custody because she was a vicious, lying skank.

Daniel deciding the baby would be better off raised in a loving home with two parents isn't the same thing. HE'S made the decision. As uninterested as I am in Victoria and Billy, I hope they beat Phyllis in court and NEVER allow her access to Lucy. The bitch be crazy. And by that, I mean only a little less crazy than Daisy.

Daniel should have a bigger part in this storyline, but it's all about Phyllis, Villy, and Kevin even tried to claim that baby.

With potential parents like that Lucy's going to be screwed up no matter what.

I think you better start gearing up for your "offensive mode"!! :lol::lol: And I am not going to get into a debate about how she would feel if Summer was raped because she wasn't..so there.

This entire s/l doesn't even seem to be about the fact that Daniel was raped anymore because MAB is such a damn bloody coward to address it...now it is all about everyone running scared sh*tless that Sheila and her motley crew (affectionately known as the "terrorists") are going to make them soil their knickers and boxers. Just the mere mention of them and they all wish they were wearing their Depends. I wish these people would finally grow some UGH!! Oh and let's not forget that it was Daniel who let Daisy go and Jana who was digging for the truth...this is how this all got rolling.

Anyway now that the proverbial cat is out of the bag, and Daniel still doesn't want the "rape baby" (poor child with the stigma)and apparently finds it absolutely ok that his baby was bought on the black market irregardless that it was Villy who bought the little tyke, he needs to STFU. In fact, I hope the judge make him have no say..you know since he didn't want her and all because she is a rape baby. Heck I even agree with him that he is not ready for a child, Lucy is very lucky in that regard. The interesting thing is I think he actually would make a great father.

I am all for Phyllis fighting for her "granddaughter" even if she has to p*ss off the entire Newman/Abbott clan & Daniel to do it. I am sure I will probably have some issues with her methods :lol: but I DO NOT CARE. I want the drama thank you very much. In the end though I think MAB is going to blow this story up w/some twists. But until then, GO PHYLLIS, rah, rah, rah!!!

I would rather watch this than bloody Bo Beep and the little lamb!!

Keven seems to think Daniel should be handling things differently too and I get the same feeling from Michael when he goes on and on about Daniel not wanting the baby found. Why the hell should he? So I may have been wrong to say "everyone", but it's not just "Phyllis". It's just that Phyllis is the one who is acting really psycho and completely disrespecting the fact that her son was a victim of rape and was given no choice at all in becoming a father. It's all the more inexcusable because she's his mother. She should be respecting the only choice he has left in this situation, not going against it. God, what a f*cking bitch.

I guess you're right about Kev, but this week he implied he was alright with Billy and Victoria raising her.

Phyllis just needs to STFU. I'd like to think Daniel will earn his stones by standing up to his mother. But I am afraid Phyl will end up being "right" and Daniel will change his mind and end up thanking that bitch for her interference.

    • 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

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
