Thanks, I totally didn't even think about spoiler tags my b.

Oh yeah, he'll be great...And they already do a psycho every couple of months which is his forte except they keep theirs around to do the same story twice in a year.

Rex was being nasty but I wasn't mad at him. I get it. He is lashing out because he's mad at the world for losing Gigi, and frankly, Clint has been a real dick for a long time now (Rex being one of his primary victims) so some teary, hand-holdy scenes with Viki and the kids don't just wipe his slate clean. Rex will come around. And so will Clint. And it was obvious that Rex had a moment when he took Olympia's ring.

I would be more understanding if I thought Rex was like this because of Gigi, but he's been a prick for years and years. It's just not as obvious when he is on the backburner. He only cares about himself. Gigi and Shane are worthless to him.

I was ready to gag at Cris talking about maybe now he and Rama can be together. Dude, her marriage JUST disintegrated. Is he really that hard up? Maybe recent casting spoilers really are in his romantic favor.

I am glad that Aubrey spilled the beans because now that Vimal knows and Cris jilted her, Rama will be on a vengeance and finally reveal Aubrey. And Aubrey is totally setting herself up spouting about how she is sick of all the lies and deceit. She is about to get her wish.

I agree that Aubrey seemed more tolerable and it was easier to side with her. My issue is that it has gotten so old how the show recycles the same formula with baddies turned goodies. Why I'm kinda glad that as he started to go good, Cutter got a little more bad instead. But now that he has lost the house, he and Aubrey will probably start going door to door handing out the Watchtower.

    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense.
