Angie/David were fabulous today, R. Just watch their scenes if you can't stomach the rest, and, given the constant talk of STDs, you probably won't be able to. Nowhere near "bag of blood" territory, though, so there's that.

I maintain that without Jesse, Angie would have been sort of an ally for David, that person to make him see reason when he can not.

:wub: That was a put-down-the-dish-towel-and-have-a-seat moment.

So true. Imagine being someone who can't stand Zendall but really likes Kendall/Griff having to root for my couple as they track down the killer of a character I hated. We had to endure months of that, so the show's been more than respectful of that nosy, mumbly idiot.

Damn, the economy is that bad?

I'm looking forward to the David/Angie scenes. The actors and characters fit well with each other.

The actors because they are veterans. Not "vets" but VETERANS. They've been through battles and wars. They know what it's like to work your ass of in spite of politics, crap writing, personal problems, co-stars with agendas, and the general asshatery that is being a contract actor on AMC.

I hope the writing provides the depth and layers deserve now and for the future. Hint: let the show end with Angie/Jesse saying they need to work hard on their marriage in light of the whole Lucy baby revelation even as David whispers in Angie's ear that he would've done the same thing Jesse did if it meant he could bring Leora back. Only to discover Anna has returned to Pine Valley seeking Jesse's help.

That tees up tons of story for the AMC novella, "All My Children: Love and Loss in the Daffodils"

Did anyone else think the way they were transitioning the scenes at the beginning was stupid...Lol I found that highly annoying for some reason!!

OMG I about fluttered into the sky when my Griff & Kendall had their first kiss! The second one was even better wub.gif LOVE them. I need them to pork at least once within the next 3 weeks. ;-)

It could be David, Jonathan, Jamie, or Jake. If it's not Jake then I don't see AMC delving into who else it could be. Really doubt it's David since he has SO much going on lately but who knows.

ICAM! Debbi & Vincent were both great and the writing matched them (thanks, Kate Hall!).

Me, too!

Yup.

I loved it too. I was actually thinking they should use that for the first few scenes every day.

If the show wasn't ending, I am sure Angie/David would have been pushed together. Maybe not full out romantically, but I think they'd move closer together to the point of friends. That alone would drive Jesse nuts. Darnell is so expendable. The magic of 20 years ago or whatever never really quite returned. Debbi is a keeper no matter what the circumstance. Darnell, not so much. Watch he moves to the websoap version.

I know I'm late to the party, but I also have to sing my praises to the Angie/David scenes! Highlight for sure.

Very interesting they decided to bring back David's past with his father, who drove himself to suicide in part due to Vanessa. Which btw, if the rumor is true that she is going to the AMC fan luncheon... then maybe we might just see her again before the finale! I mean think about it - she could be the head of this Orpheus Project. Orpheus sounds similar to Proteus... :unsure:

    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.
