Absolutely ridiculous :P Sorry, but I think it is. Whether she wanted him to get that impression initially, or she clued in suddenly that he was getting that impression and went with it, it's just as guilty a sin IMHO particularly when dealing with something as serious as this. You can't excuse behaviour because someone quietly and consciously allows someone to believe a crime, rather than flat out says it.

Conrad & Ashley NEEDS to happen.

Was this the first time we learned Emily followed Daniel before coming to town?

I really, really like Charlotte. Her boyfriend needs to die. Also, Emily needs to kill Amanda.

Also, I love how even when Emily's plans start to go wrong it works out with the same end result, usually better even.

Great episode last night! I think my favorite scene was the Conrad/Charlotte scene with Emily eavesdropping. Conrad eying Ashley was hilarious - I hope that's foreshadowing too. I wonder what side Ashley will choose. A secret coming out at a party with everyone watching - so soapy. Loved it. I also liked Conrad's scene with his dad when Grandpa suggested they start grooming Daniel to takeover and Conrad was all, "Remember, I put the Global in Grayson Global."

What is this craziness about Victoria not actually telling Daniel that David raped her? The way it was written and, consequently, the way Victoria put it clearly implied that she had been raped. That's exactly what I thought she was saying, albeit in a subtle, non-direct way, before Daniel vocalized it. It was a clear decision in Victoria's part. She wanted him to think that.

So surprised by Ashley/Conrad. I was wondering where they would go with her next and this looks wonderful. It would be great if she started an affair with him while continuing to work for Victoria; would create more soapy drama. Meanwhile, the divorce between Conrad and Victoria, which now evolves his father and the issue of running Grayson Global, and completely delicious. The show hits all the right, soapy, notes.

Loved Charlotte in this episode. She had a great reaction to the paternity news, her scene with Conrad, later with Declan. The dinner scene where the paternity was revealed felt like I was watching classic soap.

Jack was also another one who was exquisite in this episode. From that shirtless scene in the beginning to his anger, his pleading with Amanda, confronting Victoria... the actor carried it off wonderfully.

The end... another amazing cliffhanger. It looks as if it was Amanda who took the box but who knows?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago that perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. Since we hardly know anything about Leslie's childhood background. In addition, Leslie said she grew up listening to The Articulettes….
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
