Best scenes of the day: Anything KANE women related wub.gif Erica/Kendall & Erica/Bianca individual scenes were fantastic, as were the scenes with them all together! I love their signature holding of the hands & hug! I just love all of them!! And they all look stunning, especially Bianca, I love her hair pulled up.

Loved the scene with Bianca sitting alone with her engagement ring, then cramming that mimosa down her throat. CBL didn't even have to say anything to really sell that scene. She did great.

Caleb looked stupid professing his love to Erica and begging her to choose him. I really hated those scenes. They brought the show down. I can't stand Caleb at all, I can't say it enough.

Marissa is a terrible lawyer & she doesn't even realize it. This biotch was acting like she won Bianca's case when she barely did anything! If I'm not mistaken when those French lawyers came along and started giving her crap, she ran straight to Jack and he fixed everything. That plus JR was the one who got Reese to drop the case now anyway. This is all thanks to Jackson and JR, not you Marissa. Get it untwisted!

No spark between Asher & Maya at all IMO. I was annoyed with him today immensely, sitting around eating bread and sandwhiches hovering around Maya as she worked. All I could think was GTFAway!! I want to be excited for when she meets Colby but in the end I don't see myself caring that much. You can see the outline of the triangle clearly already and I can't say I'm looking forward to it. Maybe if Damon or Sam Grey were in the middle & not Asher.

Marissa, Caleb, & Asher. 3 useless characters who the show can easily get rid of and no one would really care. If only AMC realized that.

Asher is just so meh, but I didn't really mind his brief scenes with Maya--the only stuff that bugged me today was Caleb, otherwise I thought it was a solid episode. Yes, I'd love to see Opal get her own story (and life) but it seemed fitting to me to have her overeact at the wedding. I'm even starting to find all this ridiculous Ricky/evil stuff more entertaining. Also, it's oddly refreshing to see new sets (OK maybe not that odd at all...) I do seem to be in the minority in that I do like Marissa and Binaca, but I'm tired of them not seeming to have a direction for Marissa and this back and forth...

I think what tweedle dee and tweedle duh were trying to show is JR is controlling pretty much everything. If you think about it, his fixation is the idea of a family. But b/c most could care less about Marissa we can't see it.. the way he's going about it is classic Chandler.

In the span of 1 to 11/2 a yr.

He controlled Annie who he loved but couldn't express and it blew up b/c she loss control and he couldn't control her

He controls Marissa via AJ and her occupation as a lawyer

He somewhat controls Bianca's life (custody) via Marissa

He controls Reese (custody/employment) via Bianca & Marissa

He controls Asher

He partially controls Colby

He has control of this Maya girl

And partially controls Amanda via employment

BTW do we call her jail bait Maya?

The reason we can't see it w/ Marissa is b/c Sarah isn't a good actor, she's trying to show Marissa desperately trying to pull away and she falls flat showing it. Imagine CS or RB or SG or AM and especially MCE playing that part, you'd feel it. But Sarah leaves you w/ a :huh:

Look how Maya reacted, that should have been Marissa. Instead this girl upstaged Sarah in the same scene. Not bad for a newbie.

That scene was suppose to be about Marissa's will breaking, and Sarah let this girl steal her spotlight. I definitely can see right now she will not be able to handle a big enough story like going gay. The smallest thing as a phone call telling him whoever, likely Marissa or Colby took a flight somewhere set JR off to a point he had to control said person's whereabouts.

That's part of it. The other part, I think, is that Marissa has always been so ill-defined as a character (which is also why I think it's so incredibly easy and tempting to have her 'go gay' for Binks). Aside from JR's estranged wife and David and Krystal's other daughter, who is she? What purpose does she serve on AMC's canvas? IMO, if you can take out a character, replace her (or him) w/ another character, and more-or-less achieve the same effect story-wise, something's wrong.

    • 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
