God bless Susan Lucci. :lol: She plays Jane exactly as she does Erica -- as this ultra-feminine kitten of steel. But you know what? I love her for it. I love how La Looch *IS* Erica. Even when she isn't.

Gah.... Dixie. I don't know how I feel about this. I like Cady more than I like Dixie, if that makes sense. Dixie was kind of propped during her golden years on AMC, plus her insistence that she be paired with Thorsten Kaye during her last stint paved her way to the poisoned pancakes. I will be watching for her myriad hairstyles, though. That hair is the follicle world's answer to Meryl Streep and badly needs its own agent.

Sounds like I missed an exciting/interesting show today! Can't wait to watch tomorrow.

Re: Palmer. I've just accepted that any time a character sees the "ghost" of a loved one, it's just a hallucination or their imagination or, in the case of dead folk like Palmer, their souuuuuuuuul.

It's an angel taking the appearance of a loved one so the newly departed will step into the light without fear. When you walllllk down the rooooad...Heavy burdens, heeeeeavy load.</Della Reese>

Really people are we going to nitpick this? The show has been canceled. All bets are off. We've hit the ultimate reset button. Anybody can come back from the dead. Hell at this point Jesse and Angie's baby could come back from the dead. In four months, it won't matter anymore.

YES!

There was a little thing called going out with dignity that, now, seems to be questionable with dopplegangers running around and undead people making wishing stars in cells. The concept of "Anything can be done because we're gonna be off the air in four months!" is asinine. It's akin to a person thinking they don't really have to do their job properly anymore because they've given their two weeks notice. You may be done, but there are still other people invested in you doing your best work until you're gone. It's disrespectful, because now, by bringing Dixie (if this is indeed Dixie) back from the dead, you're opening up a whole new chapter for the Tad and Dixie fans that you aren't able to continue telling. The idea, at least I thought, was to close story -- bring the tale to an end. Not leave people wanting to know what's happened over the last five years.

I'll bend for anyone, even Ellie being pulled alive from that grave...lol, but not Josh. No. No. No.

Wasn't Maria a ghost too? It could all just be said to be in her loved ones mind. That she came to offer them comfort and what not. Personally, I don't think AN and LB are going to go anywhere near it. I think they'll just do the best they can to fill in the last five years, get T&D back together and give them their happy ending with Kathy. There isn't time for any thing else.

okay then how would you explain her greeting Palmer in heaven? Dont you think its best to ignore that without coming up with some convoluted reason to explain that away?

No she wasnt. The show made it clear when she appeared to Edmund, that she was merely a figment of his imagination

Okay this was all I needed to read. We're never going to agree on this because I totally believe in checking out once you've given your two weeks. Not intentionally screwing up mind you, but the last two weeks but when you're done, you're done.

As for the rest of what you said, we'll only be able to judge how this ends, once it ends. Everything on screen now is in a state of flux, so it's pointless to freak out over whether this is a "tweak" or not. Especially when we're talking about a five second scene last year where Dead Palmer "played" by an actually dead actor was welcomed to "heaven" by perpetually dead/undead Dixie. That scene was just a nice bit of fluff to acknowledge the connection between Dixie and Palmer. Not the GPS locator on Dixie's soul.

Sorry but that is just not the place to stake out the "going out with dignity" battle.

LOL! The unabortion sucked not only because it spit in the face of of a historical touchstone but also because it spit in the face of basic science. That's hardly an issue with ghosts and visions of the hereafter.

    • 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
