That was the absolute worse. I couldnt beleive they destroyed the old set just to bring that stupid diner to town with them

I saw Gigi dying and Clint getting her heart, but it didnt dawn up on me the dilemna Rex would be faced with (women he loves for father he hates), probably bc I still dont think of him as Clint's son

It's pretty incredible how they have destroyed anything Clint ever was, to the point of having him sit by while Shane was dying and almost get Nora raped or killed, just for this morbid and sour story about how a bunch of people who hate him might be forced to give him a heart. Even when they do get the last-minute, contrived, and in JPL's case, horribly non-acted reconciliation, was one or two minutes of maudlin boo-hooing worth years of character destruction?

I missed the second half of the show after Rex told Shane about Gigi dying and it faded to black..Anything worth catching on Soapnet tonight? I might even watch again just for those Brody/Jess scenes honestly..Some of the best stuff this show's put out in a LONG time.

Bree Williamson delivered today, those were her best scenes in awhile. It's almost like Jessica is integrated fully, she stood for herself and didn't burst out crying. Brody was way out of line in what he said to Jessica, she was sick and even if she wasn't fighting as hard as she could have, her sister should have been off-limits.

I love how Ford came back looking for Tess and she was gone. The sick pervert is going to flip when he realizes Jessica is back. If the writers are trying to make him noble, it's an epic fail.

Rarely do soaps add a real sense of finality to when characters pass, a lot of times you know the character is gone for good, but the tone doesn't bring out the right reactions for the characters.

I skip any scenes with Ford. I'm at work when the show is on, so when I get home from work I just go to youtube and see the scenes I want to see. Like Brody, Natalie, and Brody's finally telling Jessica like it is. And Rex/Shane/Roxy/Gigi.

Melissa Archer generally does a good job, but she was really awful today. I could say Michael Easton's rubbing off on her, but even most of his performances have more life than hers did today. It must be that MA is as tired of this story as we are. Same with Bree Williamson's performance yesterday. She was better today, but I still can't feel sorry for Jessica. She refused to listen to anything that Brody said.

I'm glad Aubrey didn't let Jessica be alone with her kids, considering everything Jessica has done to her own family and to her life in general as Tess/Bess/Wes. And of course everything with Ford and Cutter, the pigs who raped her. But Terri Conn was really off today. I guess having scenes with Jessica (whose not even a plot device at this point) will do that to you.

I feel really sorry for Rex, Shane, and Roxy. I hope Rex goes after Todd (or whoever TSJ is supposed to be) and Jack and makes them pay. And Rex should have punched that doctor in the face.

Starr: When I asked him... he went like *this*.

Uh, KA was kind of sexy when she did that. :unsure:

I'm a little on the fence the way Brody is talking to Jessica like she is Tess. Not sure it is fare to say that alters are all a legitimate fragment of the main personality, but I would say bastardized takes on aspects of the primary personality as well. And, I mean, then how do you explain Wes? Dat aint a *part* of Jess. And ugh, they just couldn't help themselves having Brody say he almost feels sorry for Ford. :rolleyes:

Rama has been writer-ruined the past few days, but I still enjoy listening to her speak: Who do I cawl fuhhhst?... there's a seemple solyuution...

JPL did good. :(

I really appreciate Roxy's presence in this.

I'm surprised by how sad Gigi's passing has made me. I never liked her.

Erika Slezak, how dare you make me LOL?? :lol:

Shane. :(

Rex=Bobbie

Natalie=Felicia

For all of its contrivances as an organ donation s/l, I find it particularly heartbreaking. A definite *life is not fair* ring to it that I didn't really get when Stacy froze or Josh on AMC got shot for example. Like I expected a much happier ending for Rex and Shane, and they are both SO young to be losing Gigi at this point in their still new relationship.
