This was also the debut of the newly remodeled Linden House, and more famously, Susan's nose (and face, and neck) management. She'd been off the show for weeks and I always wondered if she'd had a planned vacation, or if they gave her time off when Frances Heflin passed, or a mix of both.

Erica coming down the stairs was actually the cliffhanger of the previous episode. They did tight shots of her hand gripping the railing and she sat at the foot of the staircase in eerie silence. Previous scenes were her at the airport heading home.

Actually, the new Linden House debuted earlier in the year - maybe April or May? There's an episode online where Erica runs into Jack at a train station and admits that she's watching her budget. She comes home and tells Mona that she loves the renovations on her house, but she's not sure she should have splurged on them right now because the modeling jobs aren't coming in as fast as she thought they would. I loved the renovated Linden set in that it was definitely overdue for a facelift, but it always drove me crazy to see brand new sets that were supposed to be in the same house, but they'd moved fireplaces and stairs and major things like that because IRL, if you want that big of a change, you might as well just buy a new house.

IIRC, Frances Heflin died in late May or early June. It was the beginning of the summer. I remember reading about it in a soap magazine and wondering how they were going to address that, if they'd recast or if they'd have Mona died and if so, when that would happen. I don't know if Susan had her surgery already scheduled for that summer before Fra died or if she died and everyone decided it would work best if Erica came home after being gone and found her dead. The episodes around Mona's death and funeral were just so sad to watch. I imagine that after working together for decades, it must have been hard on the veteran actors to film those scenes.

I think that he chose to leave due after having been on the show for a pretty lengthy run. I guess that he wanted to audition for primetimes shows and movies.

I remember when he returned. When he was written show (his second departure), he became bitter toward the show.

I thought Tom and Brooke were great as friends, but I didn't care for how Tom wanted Brooke to sacrifice her career. I thought Brooke was too domestic and dull with Tom. When Brooke got involved with Adam, the writers wrote her as smart and driven. Adam and Brooke's sexual chemistry stemmed from their intelligence,

Brooke always sought the unconditional love that she missed out on as a child. Adam loved Brooke the way she needed to be loved. Brooke loved the tenderness that Adam only displayed with her, but her inner bad girl was also attracted to Adam's dastardly ways despite her moral compass telling her she shouldn't.

Adam vs. Tom

Adam is the winner. Edmund is second. Tom is at best third place.

      Knots Landing

      By All My Shadows · Posted

      Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.

      The Politics Thread

      Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.

      Neighbours: Discussion Thread

      By Adamski · Posted

      Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Adamski · Posted

      A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

      Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.

      I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      By Speed Racer · Posted

      "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.

      It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
