AMC has been on FIYAH for over a week now...today's flashbacks just cemented it! Absolutely loved them and wish they had done a similar tribute to SL at the Emmy's instead of the cringe-worthy travesty that they presented.

I could have done without the Marissa scenes. Sorry, but SG's version just does nothing for me. I'd gladly welcome BA back in a nanosecond. Love how she's just as judgmental & patronizing about David as she is about JR. I guess that's consistent with her sanctimonious, crap-don't-stink attitude.

Im loving Krystal's reaction to Marissa's news. She handled it very well and impressed me. Those were her best scenes all year

Oh it was! I also loved her later line "Im getting married...to a doctor!" Watching her get giddy and childlike was hilarious

Marissa does her best Wendy Williams "How you doin?" face

Erica should bring Ben to PV for Opal. :wub:

Thank GOD this crappy Jane/David Hayward is almost over. I haven't watched in weeks. Can't stomach either of them.

KWAK is such a freaking loser and Bianca is a moron. HELLO? THIS SKANK STOLE YOUR CHILD. Idiot.

I agree, and I'm not gonna fake like I was ever a Marissa fan, but I saw no need in BA nor AM being replaced.

I know there isn't much time, but Marissa's scenes with Krystal seemed a little rushed (I feel like some well-crafted scenes of her alone thinking could have been very effective) and a bit preachy (parents, *this* is how you should react). A big problem for me is that I just don't see Marissa's awesome appeal for Bianca and J.R. both to be chasing after her (though for J.R. I think it is more of an ego thing), AND I feel like her story with Bianca seems too much like a story the writers made happen opposed to let happen.

It does suck that they left Dimitri out. Unless....maybe he's a surprise return. (Kidding!)

The sight of Myrtle always does me in.

Can we now stop worrying about whether we're going to get a suitable ending? Between the returns and the flashbacks, clearly the show is in wrap up mode. I think we're going to get flashback montages for everyone over the next two months.

Sheez, how much makeup have they piled on her?

She looks like a drag queen.

The Minx scenes has been at warp speed since LB took over. I'm kinda thinking she just wants it out of the way so she can focus on other storylines which I appreciate but it's still bad writing.

It basically took Marissa finding out that Bianca is the one that knows Marissa likes Orange soda and donuts, to fall in love with her. It's a bit more complex than that I would think, realizing you are attracted (is she attracted?) to another woman.

I also think the scenes with KWAK who of course would be portrayed as the biggest MINX cheerleader there is despite having inexplicably been on team JR 2 weeks ago, were inconsistent at best.

They hinted at Marissa always knowing why it didn't work out with JR (because she likes women) and then in the next scene saying how she could never trust JR but she can trust Bianca because she's good. (like she's settling and Marissa is the safe choice).

Also, are they a couple now? That's it? Marissa's straightness gone and Bianca's hesitation gone?

As a proud JR fangurl, I'm not complaining but it's just shoddy pacing and writing.

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
