I don't think he always does. Not in polos. Maybe in faux dress shirts like today.

And isn't he supposed to be the chief of police? He let Ryan push him over then yell, "come on!"?

Um, assulting an officer, anyone?

Erica's dress looks partially unzipped.

Are they in the smallest bookstore ever???!

I've been liking Ryan a lot more now then I have in such a long time. Mostly since his encounter with Gillian which cut me to the core. It's probably been my favorite return out of everyone who came back so far. Just the brevity of it combined with the loss is something that really just ached within me and it's cast a completely new light on Ryan. His reaction to just her name being mentioned goes to show how much of an impact she had on him as a character and there are also fragments of the old Ryan coming through again. You really do get the feeling from Cameron's Ryan that something died with him when Gillian died and I love how that's been respected. Ever since Gillian returned I have been loving him.

He is also the first character that I really felt for in this whole Orpehus storyline and he remains the first and only character to really sell me on why David is such a horrible person when Dixie, Griffin, Kendell and everyone else initially failed in their attempts prior to his. It's not about the fact that David himself is bringing people back, I don't think anyone in town would be opposed to seeing their former dead loved ones alive again. But it's the way in which is he doing it. Him teasing Erica, Ryan and Krystal that he might have people that they loved hidden in his basement somewhere is disgusting and sadistic. Him needling them all and using these people as trump cards to hurt then is just down right evil.

Ryan really brought that point home when he brought up Leora in his response to his pain over him using Gillian against him. I can only imagine the way David would have reacted if someone told him that Leora might have been alive and that they better be extra nice to him if David wanted her back. He would probably go insane with rage and beat them to a bloody pulp over it. Yet David goes around town taunting Krystal, Ryan and Erica with maybe's. It's so far beyond the pale of anything even remotely decent. Add in Krystal's watery diatribe where she is begging David to tell her if her daughter is alive (even if you hate Krystal you know using her daughter against her will bring her to her knees), Erica going batshit over Mike Roy, and Dixie acting like a traumatized six year old around him it's all enough for me to have major issues with his actions.

I could careless about him and his happiness romp with MasCara.

    • Given the weird fantasies/out of town barn trips she does for Reva/Kyle, I can't see it either. (Not to mention Kyle's obsessive talking to paintings, or Billy's nightmares.)
    • She would be great, but I of course am thinking of her in What's Love Got to Do with It.
    • Agreed that they had a home in the present tense of the first set of episodes.  But I was wondering if they lived in the mansion in the past when Sophia disappeared, and moved out when Santana got pregnant?  Or even when Danny was born.
    • According to the French Santa Barbara site the Andrades had a house in the early episodes.  I thought I remembered scenes in their home. The Andrade house
    • I always wondered if the Andrades lived at the Capwell Mansion?  Certainly they could've had a living room in their space or wherever they went on days off. But, I felt like it was never clear whether Santana visited Rosa when Kelly and Eden were young, or if she actually lived in the servant's quarters (one hopes modern developers have found a euphemism for that space).  I always imagined that Rosa, Santana, and Reuben lived with CC up until Channing was murdered, and then they found their own place because the kids were mostly over 18 (and Santana was pregnant). I like the idea of Rueban and CC being close until Santana got pregnant.  And then Reuben would've hated the adoption of Brandon.  Which would have meant he hated CC, and would've only continued to work for him to try to get info on whatever happened to his grandson. With regard Ava Lazar, having recently rewatched the pilot for the millionth time, I find her captivating to watch, but her line delivery is so dull. She looks amazing, and I just want her to be more quick witted.
    • I liked the original 4 family set up.  The families were all different from each other and were intertwined.  They should have been given equal airtime. I felt that Lockridges were perfectly cast with the exception of Laken.  She should have been quickly recast.   I liked all 4 of the actors cast as the Andrades and wish they would have been given better writing.  I really thought Ava Lazar (Santana) would have been one of the breakout stars if she had not been replaced. My only issue with the casting of the Perkins family was Robert Alan Browne as John and as much as I liked Mark Arnold he was the wrong actor to recast Joe Perkins. And of course it was ridiculous how badly they screwed up the casting of CC. The other Capwells were well cast.
    • This late 1976 stuff doesn't sound as bad as it has in other versions I've read (weekly recaps from Jon-Michael Reed and SOD synopses). I am surprised that there is a variation of Ian - Meg - Arlene - Tom playing out this late in the game, but it doesn't sound half bad. Ian's involvement with Beaver Ridge and how it impacts Rick and Cal's future also intrigued me  more than I expected. Even the Carrie - Betsy connection having Carrie watch Suzanne while Ben is visiting was a nice surprise. I feel like this all falls apart pretty quickly with the arrival of Mia Marriott, Michael Blake, and a slew of other half baked characters under Upton.  
    • Too bad she ended up on Y&R. Actress Valarie Pettiford might've been "Sharon" because she sings too and does it pretty well.

    • @NothinButAttitude thanks for sharing the rough draft. I had bought "Shadows on the Wall" from Kathryn Leigh Scott's website probably 20+ years ago. It's a fascinating read into a very different version of what the show could have been. 
    • @Efulton That's the quote I was refering to. In the bible, at almost the beginning, Rueben and C.C. were compared as being similar as two fathers wanting everything for their children, or something along those lines. I do think the Andrades were intended to have more of a role, but they never even garnered a family set (just Santana's apartment). In 1991, they added the Capwell kitchen which seemed to be a domestic space for Rosa, but clearly not solely Rosa's. I feel like I remember Rosa confronting Santana about her feelings for C.C. being an attempt to recreate her grand fantasy with Channing, Jr. in the kitchen, but more likely that was the bedroom Santana was redecorating (C.C.'s master suite) utilizing the designsshe had envisioned for herself and Channing, Jr.
